I Think I'm Going On Hiatus For A Bit, Things Are Not Working Out At All And It's Just Frustrating At

one test page still requires a minimum of a two hour research on great war german pistols and how you load them *sigh*

this is the style i almost settled on for the novel. it took me forever to even get to that point (because i had originally planned to put myself through the ordeal of working traditionally) and even then, after trying time and time again for a month, i still wasn't satisfied. the style just felt too soft and illustrative and i needed something sharp and bold if that makes sense and so i spent another month trying to get there :')

anyway, here's some concept art from back in april or may

I wanted to say that I love your art! I think its super cool and that when you do finish your graphic novel for All Quiet I will be shelling out money for it <3

Thank you so much for the kind words, all support means the world to me, and I appreciate all the positive feedback everyone has given me since I started sharing my process. As far as the publishing the novel is concerned, I really hope it gets to see the light of day, especially since I am taking care of everything myself, but hope dies last :')
