This week in the life of Micah Amundsen:
A N X I E T Y
So it’s looking more and more likely that I’m going to be hired as an illustrator for this thing. Which is SO COOL. I didn’t really know what it was when I applied because I was applying to a bunch of things at the time and didn’t have a lot of stake in it, but after looking into it now that they’re interested in me, IT’S SO COOL. They’re all about DIVERSITY and helping CHILDREN with EMOTIONAL SKILLS and asoihdfakljbdflkjasdf this is an awesome thing. (I was also once told by a video game art director that I had a good style for children’s media. Guess she was right.)
Except now that I’m emotionally invested it’s making me SUPER NERVOUS because I want to DO A GOOD JOB. SUPER NERVOUS I TELL YOU.
Also, it could be a really big project. Which means trying to juggle a new thing on top of this comic and Cursed which I’mreallybehindonblarghlarbgh (oh and a small horror comic I’m writing with a friend, too. Luckily she’s as busy as me so it’s probably gonna take us 5ever and we’re both fine with that). So, I think I’m going to have to drop a day out of the update schedule on here basically permanently O_O Of course I can’t say for sure until it happens, but I’ve seen webcomic artists signed on for books like this who have to put their comic completely on hiatus so I’m not optimistic :/
If I do any long term hiatus, though, I’m going to at least finish Chapter 4 first. Promise! (And we’re only about 40% through Chapter 4, so no need to panic for a while). It’s almost like I planned the Chapter/Part system with this exact situation in mind XD (spoilers: I did).
Anyway I have a phone call with the editor scheduled today so should know more on Friday. WISH ME LUCK AHHHHH
Mary, I really hope you brought an orange.
We all do
Good luck, Micah! You got this!
And with all the other webcomics I read, we will always be here, no matter what!
And hey! I know that general bridge! :3 hehehehehe
Thank you! You all are so supportive <3
Yeah this is the path by my parent's house that goes under Civic Center Dr. If you don't know this exact one, all the bridges along that path look a lot like this so you might be thinking of one of those instead.
Samur: I am just a lame powerless angel. Boo hoo hoo!
*Flies off building*
So what’s up with Mary’s pose in panel 1?
The last panel is really odd. The emotional mugging is in an open air area, and the last panel is under a bridge. The silhouettes are so far away you can’t really see who is who and Samur and the Salaryman are both dressed nice. I thought the guy on the “ramp” was the salaryman fleeing, but there are three people (and its under a bridge) so I guess its the good guys, the little lump at the base of the ramp are Luke’s snacks, and its Samur on the ramp. I assume its Mary and Yanshuf running away from Samur’s position so I was confused as to why the two got under the bridge because they landed after him but I guess they could be running towards him.
The job stuff sounds sweet. Best of luck to you with that.
Yeah this is why I usually put scene changes on page turns. Unfortunately this page didn’t work out like that. You read the panel correctly though, but it’s not a big deal either way, the next page should further clarify it.
And, thank you, I hope it goes well xD
i wish you the best of luck…and after checking out the link, i´ve got to agree that its a super cool thing!
….though i hope you´ll still have enough time for this comic!
Thanks! I also hope I have enough time for this comic.
