There isn't really much reason for me to go without a table - I mean, I guess it'd be pretty cool to meet some of the Portal fandom people if any of them are going? But finding people in a crowd of that size seems like a tall task. On top of paying the entry fee.
Sooo I might scrap London plans and hop across the Atlantic to New York instead. Still all a bit in the air though. Just an idea I'm playing with.
I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm a bit relieved about Expo. I'm not in the mood to drop any money on my comic at the moment; honestly I am not in the mood to even think about my comic at the moment and it's probably going on indefinite hiatus. I do genuinely apologise to those of you who read and enjoy it, and I feel guilty, but I don't see the point of doing something I don't enjoy in my spare time. Except, you know, things you have to do, like groceries and laundry and whatever. But the art I do in my spare time should be for fun or for study and I shouldn't feel so negatively about it.
I never really had much confidence in Alter - I always had huge problems trying to convince people to read it because, honestly, I don't think I would have read it myself. I don't want to spend money printing it or promoting it because I, myself, feel like it's a waste. So it's probably time to move on and see if I can come up with something I do have confidence in. Something that's me, not a derivative as hell generic mecha thing.
I'm in a strange period of my life right now. I'm rediscovering myself and, for lack of a better expression, doing the growing up I wasn't able to do when I was a teenager. The deciding and being proud of who I am bit.
I will, of course, keep drawing, even if I don't draw my comic anymore. I will always draw - drawing is me and I am drawing, that's one I'm certain about. And I hope some of you, even if not all, will continue to follow me as I continue exploring.
Cheers! 
I'm going to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Alter because it's really hard for me to get into mecha in general, but I am a fan of your work and I think you are a good comic artist and I hope you find your love for comicking again. Might I suggest your next project be a short story rather than a series? It's a lot easier to stay on track when you can say "Only ten more pages to go!", haha. I am doing that right now with my one-shot story. I have ten pages left to do and it's kind of exciting having an end point. My next story is going to be a series format, which is terrifying, but hopefully I can keep it going.
But if your heart isn't into it anymore, yeah... it's time to move on. I do hope you'll find something you can really get into, though.
That sucks about the London thing not working out. Maybe New York will.
Alter was on a manga magazine site but it's complicated, haha. They took a while getting it up on the site and wanted to see how popular it was before they sponsored it. They said they'd get back to me about how it's doing, and I spoke to them in February, but by then it was already too late... I'd lost interest/moved on. A lot happened between November and February and I was almost a completely different person. I don't even want to do it if they sponsor me anymore, I'd rather just do freelance work, and things that I enjoy in my spare time.
I knew you weren't a fan of it, but that's fine! Not a problem at all. It's not for everyone. If I do a new comic it will definitely be a short story, yep. Thanks!
I sent that manga site a question once before I showed them any of my work and then they responded somewhat rudely, so I thought they seemed a little fishy... they don't pay you unless you're popular??? That doesn't seem right to me. The site that will be hosting one of my one-shots paid me well in advance, and then I'll get royalties whenever the site is working (whenever that will be... they said it would be up in November but it seems like it may be a dead site now).
Yep, they don't pay you unless you're popular. I think it sort of makes sense because they get money from ad views or something like that, so more views = more money, but if your comic gets no views then they won't have enough to pay you.
It's a shame if that site for your one-shot has died but hey, I'm sure there'll be more opportunities for you.
After reading Sugarfoxxy's comment, animation seems like a great avenue for you- I'm pursuing it myself actually!
Beside the good schools being in the US, Someone told me about this great alternative out of Califronia called Animation Mentor. It's an online, international school. [link]
You should give it a look.
Thanks! That school looks great but there's always a hefty chunk of tuition fees involved and I don't have that kind of money.
It's still an option to consider. I've heard good things about it too. I hope you find something that works for you!
Thanks!
Best of luck to ya!
into animation or something to do with anime and the
like. Your drawings are spectacular, and I'd say you
have a future in that field. Best of luck to you, for whatever
you decide your niche is. :3
