September Project End (Patreon)

I had really wanted to do an audio post mortem for this project but everytime I've tried starting it up I cough and get super nervous. I'll try to do a proper post-mortem at some point, possibly in a stream tomorrow.

Over all I'm pretty happy with how it felt doing this. I was excited by the project and motivated knowing I had other projects to look forward to. I wish I'd gotten more done with the inking, text and finalizing of everything, but I'm happy it's at least all readable.

I really underestimated how physically taxing drawing this much is. I'm fairly out of practice when it comes to marathon drawing and this was definitely an eye opener. Several drawing sessions left my neck, shoulders and wrists extremely sore which slowed down progress quite a bit. If I do more things like this I'll definitely rebuild those muscles and get better at it. But it was still pretty surprising.

If I was to do this again I'd definitely do by initial thumbnails as 2 page spreads instead of each individual page. I think that'll help add some variety to my paneling, which I need to practice. I realized when I started doing the proper sketches that several pages were using very similar layouts back to back and it became a bit monotonous. I managed to fix things up a little as I went but I definitely need to keep working on it.

With the first month done I'd love to know all your thoughts on this format so far. And if anyone has suggestions for November's project I'd love to hear them.
