Comics are weird and difficult to make ok? But I'm doing my best. Hopefully someone will find my efforts worth while.

I've had a plan for a comic for, maybe two years now? Longer possibly. But I have a certain obsession with trying to make it perfect. See, I've never done a long form comic before, and I want to plan and write it out so that once I start drawing, I don't have to think about it anymore.
But what seems to be happening is that my desire to plan this out is preventing me from actually making it. Part of this stems from fear of writing a cliche or boring story. But I'm also terrified I wont have an audience.
As an artist, you can have the same problem, but to me, the scale seems much smaller. I can create a standalone piece with several hours put into it, and people will either like it or not. With creating a comic, a detailed story, I'm putting in more than a few hours, i'm putting in months of work and just a bit of my soul.
That fear of rejection or indifference can be very immobilizing.
But I'm trying to move past that, I have a demo of the comic I did for a class. 18 Pages of kinda confusing stuff. I'm going to post that here.
I created this for a class, and it's all traditional Ink and Wash, but it's definitely not my best work. Forgive the fast pace and campy writing. :)
