I posted a GLTAS fan comic of mine on tumblr that was full of flaws that I felt were just screaming at me. But it's the best I can do right now and I felt like it was cute and that maybe someone would like it. And I've gotten such a positive response so far! I don't think I've ever gotten so many warm comments (mostly in the tags) on a post of mine before and I only posted this a couple of hours ago. And even a comment from Giancarlo Volpe, the producer of the show that inspired my comic! How about that! ha! I'm honestly so surprised. And this is so nice because I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed with everything that I still have to learn to draw decent comics. I've got a a long hard way to go with this learning process, but it sure is great to get some pats on the back for my effort. I'm already looking forward to drawing another fan comic next week.:)

Really my greatest challenge right now is figuring out how break up the story in my head into panels in a way that flows. My drawing and everything else needs improvement, for sure, but that's my biggest obstacle. I keep trying to add too much visual information that is not necessary to tell the story. It's difficult for me to figure out what visuals are essential to telling the story, and what details only get in the way. But, I really am enjoying learning to do this. As much of a challenge as this is, it's a really fun challenge.:)
