3 Weeks Off
Okay, I'm going to make this official. I'll not be drawing any new pages for three weeks (that includes yesterday's supposed page update). That means there'd be no new pages this coming Sunday and the Sunday after that, too.
I mentioned last time that I'm working on a short 10-pager comics, right? Well, the deadline of it is October 2 which is just 2 weeks away from now. Actually, I should finish by September 27 so that there'd be time for me to pass my submission via post and get to the magazine's editor. That's like 10 days left and I have yet to draw a single page of it! I already have a written script for the comic but I'm still currently at the stage where I'm designing what the lead characters would look like. Drawing a cute pre-teen girl was more tricky than I first thought.
Anyway, the one-shot comics I'm doing is for an annual Melbourne-based literary magazine anthology that features Australian comic art. Submissions should have a maximum of ten pages and in black & white. The best part of this is that there is a possiblity of getting paid at AU$100 per comic piece (regardless of the number of pages). I say "possibility" though because it is also possibe not to make the cut if there are a lot of other submissions better than the one I'm submitting.
And so, I really have to work on this one. The story I'm going to do actually only takes 9 pages. But you already know that I draw Lovarian Adventures at the rate of one page per week. Now, I have to draw a page a day for me to finish this thing in time.
Would I make it? I hope so. Although the opportunity to get paid for drawing comics has always been a dream of mine, a $100 one-off payment isn't really my primary motivation here. It's the opportunity to get something published in Australia again. Just to get my name out there, you know?
So, Lovarian Adventures should have a new page on October 7. Sorry about that. In the meantime, read my brother's new webcomic Life Again. It's a part of our new "Palabok Comics" group. I have yet to fully set that thing up. Ah well.
Also, wish me luck.
