Comics...

I LOVE to draw and to write... In the future I really hope to be a manga-ka/ comic artist and writer, with a little bit of animation and concept work on the side lol <cheers for art school next year!>... But I have always had some strange issue about actually showing anyone any of my comics. What I do end up showing them are bits and pieces; a few random character sketches , small parts of my storyboard or dialog. Just enough that they usually end up liking the story, but not enough to actually put everything together. It's all just randomness >.<
And when people become interested, it sometimes just gets worse. Sometimes it just makes me a self-deprecating ball of emo-ness about my own drawings! I mean, I'm still in love with the drawing and the writing itself, but I become too critical to show others and sometimes just stop in the middle of a story...
I tend to be fairly good at taking criticism from others, but for some reason I cannot handle it from myself. But this is what I want to do with my life... I want to write and I want to draw and I want to share my stories. Perhaps I will have to hire a little 'elf' to steal my finished work while I sleep for submission, lol. Either that or figure out a way to stop being so self-critical >.< But, then again, isn't that a mark of most artists? lol Damn you muse! 'Tis all love/hate, lol.
In conclusion, I have... Um... The spirit world one, the evolution vs. religion one, the christian mythology one, two with vampires, the conjoined twins one, the 'not-so-strange' family one, the Doctor Who fan thingy, the Blood Ties fan thingy, the X-Men fan thingy and, most importantly (right now, anyways) my Naruto fan thingy... I MUST FINISH AND SHOW OTHERS! lol... Just be patient and eventually you will see. I am not as bad as I think, lol.

you basically hit it on the head with what you said: "im not as bad as i think" this is importnat. as an artist it IS good to know what youre weak at but it is also good to nurture and work on what youre good at. Love your work. be proud of your work. look at it with a critical eye but with a heart full of pride.
Looking forward to seeing some of your finished work in the future. I suggest limiting your stories toa few pages so you can actually "finish" them
Thank you for the suggestion. I do do a few page things, I just do not post them -.- With school coming up, I am hoping that I will get a bit better at showing my stuff, lol. Especially since I really want to get into the comic and/or animation industries <crosses her fingers>.
I hope that you update your gallery some time...
