Greetings and long time no see! After a long hiatus, I have returned to give a long awaited status update for Panty Vigilante. It has certainly been a hot minute. I’ve been debating what to do with the comic. I was floating between moving it to Webtoon, starting it over completely and pitching it to a publisher, or just keep pushing on.
I’ll admit, I’ve tried starting over several times and I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not because I think it’s perfect and can’t be improved upon. Far from it. It just really kills a person’s motivation to keep rehashing material over and over. I made the mistake of taking feedback and obsessing over perfecting something I’ve already finished instead of just learning and moving on and the entire comic went stagnant.
If there is one lesson I’ve learned, it’s that perfection kills creativity and it will never be as perfect as you want it. If there’s one thing I want other aspiring comic artist and writers to learn from me, it’s that. Just keep doing you. Yeah the beginning won’t be what you could have made years later, but you can still look and be proud of the progress you’ve made.
I’m a chronic overthinker and I have been overthinking this comic into the ground for two years.
This is my long way around of saying that I’m going to keep going with the comic! The only thing I’m going to change is redoing chapters 4 and 5. Overall I’m pretty happy with the first three chapters, but the last two still feel really phoned in.
So yeah, I’m going to keep the comic going. I just want to work on making those chapters better. I hope you’ll stick with me to see the comic become something awesome. I need some time to get some pages done, but I wanted to let everyone know something about what’s going on.
You’ll probably see some changes on the site here and there. I’m looking to update the look.
In the meantime, you can check out my Etsy store where I am selling my new coloring book Creepy Cute and support me on my Patreon for all of my newest material.
Thank you! <3
