Wither away, part 6

Jake Richmond on Nov. 21, 2012

Convention Season is coming! Looks like Ill be at Chibi Chibi Con next month, Emerald City and Sakuracon in March and Stumptown (with Emma Capps!) in April!
- So back before the end of the year I read a review of Modest Medusa. The review was pretty fair, but the guy really didnt like my art and described it as lazy. Sigh sometimes I can be lazy, especially if Im in a hurry. Then, about two weeks ago while I was at Newcon I met someone after my panel who told me that I had no business being on a webcomics panel because Iclearlydidnt know how to draw at all, and my comic was one oftheworst out there. That hurt. Finally, last week I discovered a webcomics review site that had some negative things to say about my comic. Some of them were really pretty valid, like criticsim about the poor site design and the number of adds (and Im working with a friend to change both of those things).And again, they didnt like the art.
So
I thought Id really push myself on this story arc and do the best pages I can do. Which is why theyve been taking longer than normal. Im really happy with the way theyve turned out and I hope you like them as well. Im not fishing forcomplimentshere. Instead, my plan for this year is to bring my A game to every Modest Medusa page.
