It's strange how our fears and anxieties can blind us to what should be our ultimate confidence: God's profound love for us.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing, and keep on trucking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756416124824561576.post-64832123292080741892012-08-18T12:07:09.617-07:002012-08-18T12:07:09.617-07:00I am so excited for these Jellybots!

Being in the mi...I, too, have a fear of beginnings. Being in the middle of something can be draggy and boring and weird and also sort of confidence-destroying, and endings are tricky, but it's the beginnings that give me nightmares. <br /><br />There's always that creeping fear that people will find out that I don't know what the heck I'm doing - that I'm just making this up as I go along and am very much flying by the seat of my pants. <br /><br />It's having the guts to push <i>through</i> that frightening beginning that is the important bit - and you seem to be coping with that. <br /><br />For me, with comics, it's the page-layouts that give me the biggest problems. I've been doing this for years now, but it's still really, really tricky - and still, I think those rough, scribbly thumbnails are the truest version of the story I want to tell. It's the bare bones, the core of the story, without any layers between it and the reader. <br /><br />The rest, as you say, is just trimmings. <br /><br />Good luck taking these steps, and good luck working on Jellybots - I love getting to peek at your work-process, and I'm very much looking forward to the result.

I know it's tough, trying to find the -right- story to tell out of the, I'm sure, hundreds that knock around in your head. But at the end of the day, you've gotta just grab one and run with it and make it the best you can. I figure the world will be a better place with one more story in it than without, and if it's not something that makes you content as a person or as an artist or whatever then atleast that story exists now. Because of you. And, if nothing else, it's practice for the <i>next</i> story :P <br /><br />I know it's tough, but it really is great to see you working your way through everything that's going on. Your work and, more importantly, you as a person are an inspiration to a lot of people and I think that, more than anything, is what makes it worth it. <br /><br />Anyway, great to see some new Jellybots work (and everything else too!) I am stupidly excited to see more :DKirbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156714524611632404noreply@blogger.com
