🕑 Added 2019-06-29 01:07:26 +0000 UTCJust a little heads up that I'm finally up and able to do art stuff again. Ignore the really rough title-image, I just wanted something derpy/cheery to put there.
This cold wrecked me for a good three days, but I've finally had an actual full night of sleep. Outside of catching up with the 'day work' I want to delve back into this art thing as well.
I'm also writing out some panels for the start of the comic. Its not really something I can share here since I'd rather do that through the pages themselves. Its surprising how much can get fleshed out just writing panel-descriptions and dialogue.
Its also a little heart-wrenching to write about Cinders in those earlier days. She didn't have much of a childhood, and spent a good deal of her younger life on the run. Even if this story will be picking up at the point when things start slowly getting brighter, its made me realize why she kept so much of her 'childlike wonder'. Such a large part of it was a way for her to fight back, and keep the part of herself that still sees a world that isn't awful with people chasing her with pointed sticks and badly aimed thrown fruit.
She's a resilient little creature.
There's so much that I realize I have to explain about her as well. This is actually the harder part of writing on her life to share with others. So much of who she is utterly apparent to me but probably might not make a lot of sense to people without some explanation.
But its still a ways off. I don't even have a name for this project yet, or what the font for the splash will be. I'm looking through Blambot to see what jumps out at me and might buy some fonts through there that would work. I'm trying not to let the 'stress' voice in my head rush me on this, and just doing what I can each day to get back in the swing of things.
May you all have conversational goats, and a good long weekend!

Glad to hear you're back on your feet. Unfortunately, I worked with someone who, as a child, lived through something a little like what you describe. She was the child of a Jewish family in a former Soviet republic. Not a memorable childhood.

Childlike wonder: that can happen in RL too. Yes indeed. Thank you for sharing Cinders with us. It is an honor to know her.
