A project started 11/12/2024.
A comic about a girl who runs away from home in the middle of the night, guided by a supernatural power.
This is actually a completely true story but, I accept nobody will think this is grounded in 'reality', as it depicts numerous visions/apparitions I've witnessed. I realized, what matters most is enjoying crafting a story based off of my truth. Most likely, people will feel more at ease thinking this is fiction...but it isn't.
Everything I know about comics stems from my (extremely obsessive) love of the Berserk manga, which stands alone as a masterpiece and the best comic (or any story) I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Berserk has provided an unreal comfort to me during the hardest years of my life. It will never just be a comic to me. I have lost myself in interpreting the characters and themes in my own way. I felt inexplicably drawn back to it in the year of 2021 after Miura passed away, the same year in which Wandering takes place.
This Beruseruku fixation I've had alone, has been inspiration enough for wanting to give comic creation a 'fair go'.I am not trying to imitate god-tier Kentaro Miura, but admit I always try to channel what is sacred about Berserk to me, to the best of my dinky drawing abilities. Nuff said.
I may have attempted comics earlier (people kept obnoxiously urging me to), but I wasn't ready to revisit this bizarre and somewhat traumatic experience.
I'm jumping around a bit in chronology, because I want to draw whatever I felt like on any given day. So both 'chapters' are to be continued.
I sketch and ink tradtionally (0.4 microns ftw) and add greys digitally. Also here's a playlist I made but also write and sketch to still, lol.
