Ok, I ignored Silas today and did another one of these. It felt right as that was what was still burning in me. There are NO reactions to this elsewhere, except poor Vince who is kind enough to favorite my stuff. That means I am literally making this comic for just me. When I stop and think about that, it's depressing as hell and yet I have so much fun making these pages. So there's that balance I have to deal with, and deal with it I shall. What else can I do? I guess the Silas comic is about that very thing.

I guess in themed, unless it's paid job we wouldn't have considered except for the money, it's ALL for us alone in the end. We deserve it! It does get a little disheartening when friends and family never bother to even look at the things you send them, which is often the case with me. I always try and watch, read, comment on anything anyone I know does. It means so much that someone took the time.
I'm with you there, and I try and do the same. Mostly what happens is that I support people, they tend to gain an audience and then "don't need me anymore" and just sort of wander away. I still might appreciate their work or even try to engage but there no longer seems time, and that attention and support isn't reciprocated. Except for you. So thanks, once again. This comic is truly just for me. Even my partner doesn't really like it, though he doesn't like a lot of my stuff. I look at these pages and think they're fun, bright and fresh. Well, there's one. :"D
I don't get much support at home for much of my stuff... It's not pretty... I hear that a lot even if it IS pretty! To me at least! I don't think you have to worry about me getting an audience LOL I will continue making my silly animations... as you know. I even found a Poe story I forget about. Actually it was combined with the french silent version of house of usher, I just forgot it was its own story. I sort of always hope someone will ask me what I'm working on one day... all I get is "why on earth would anyone spend time doing THAT?" I don't know how they think the things that entertain them get made... it's all people like US!
My partner is supportive of me making what I do, he just doesn't like it. My mom was the same way. It's weird; all my artist friends, I ask them what they're up to, what they're making. No one asks me. Well, pity party. Sorry to go on. I'll stop. We have to make these things, and it makes us happy to do so, so we should keep going. That's about the size if it, my friend!
