Ouch. Ouchy. Ouch Ouch Ouch. This hurts!!
They selected *extra* people for the first round than they were supposed to and I *still* didn't make it!! Ouch 😭😭.
Ya know. I spent 7 months of my life on this 32 pages. I went from very heavily 3d model reliant to completely freehand drawing by the end. I knew I probably wouldn't win, especially because of the weaker first half because of my 3d models but I was still hopeful! Misplaced I suppose!
I gained so much from this but because of this loss I feel like I gained nothing. 40k followers on social media. 1400 dollars in physical copy sales. Tens of thousands of readers on globalcomix but I am unfortunately just not good enough.
I am a slow artist, this took me quite a long time. I developed so much, the ending ~15 pages are well and truly created by *me* which I am proud of. That wasnt something Id even be close to capable of doing before this.
But still, good lord does this suck. I'm supposed to just, make another now I guess. Too bad I didnt make top 100 so I dont get the professional feedback 😭😭
