Building Worlds

The most frustrating thing about building an alternate reality streetwear game and world is that my brain needs rest in between.
The cognitive load of the past week has been brutal.

Letting the puzzle emerge rather than making the pieces fit is honestly annoying.

I don’t often stare at a blank page for very long, or at least if I do, then there is my first clue, I’m barking up the wrong Tenet.

The Comic

As The Canis underwent its own supernova, and exploded in every direction, I have been trying to work out what goes in the comic.
I already had the story, so how hard could it be right?

A week of hardly anything. Small notes, one hour of progress, and then the end of thought, for the day not just that session. And when I say end, I mean end. Of productivity as well, not just comic book text.

That’s been rough, I don’t like slow. Everything is already slower by its nature, independent brand, solo founder, circular fashion.

 It feels personal, when it goes even slower because I’m still going a thousand miles an hour.

But the comic has emerged successfully.

Art is next

This is actually what I was most afraid of but having gone through the comic book tunnel and emerged the other end, with game stronger and story stronger, the art has become what I am most looking forward to.  I just wish there were two of me.

Kerryn and Nyrrek

Why am I picturing one with a hunchback?

Printing the comic

I’ll be hiding it online first. Once I have done the work that needs to be done, over the coming months, I will see if people want it. You might have noticed hardly anyone knows we exist yet.

I just need to move house, and then that will be my focus. In the meantime, tell someone you know.

Much bigger than me

I’ve quietly built a behemoth.
Does anyone have any biscuits?
