Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest

Posted by Bundeluxe - December 9th, 2023


So this is a story all about how I decided at the start of November to see if I could make a comic for the S16CC and even though it's been a lot of work, it looked like I would have been able to crunch it out by Dec 11th, but then I decided to get sick (probably totally unrelated to my very good and well-balanced sleeping schedule) and I held out hope regardless but there is absolutely no way I'm finishing it now.


Whining aside, I'm currently wondering whether I should just release it in its unfinished state on the deadline, or just wait and finish it after the deadline. I didn't make it because I thought it was winner material anyway, I just wanted to make a simple oneshot comic already and got shockingly far compared to my previous "attempts" in the past.


I already sacrificed some things to make it to the deadline (very noticeable lack of proper backgrounds in most panels, for example) so now I feel like if I wait, I'm gonna get stuck in that polishing mind-trap of "oh now I may as well go back fix the rest" and never finish it at all.


I'm gonna sleep on it, but it is a damn shame regardless of what I end up doing. I really looked forward to finishing this, but I suppose the important thing is that I proved to myself that I can actually do it.

I'm sorry you're not feeling great. Get well soon!

Yea that sux for sure, but id release it on the due date regardless of its quality/finished state. Im cutting it close myself (not expecting to win or anything) but i really relate to the mind-trap angle. If i dont release it then im just gunna endlessly poke and prod it, and im rambling lol

Just do whatever will keep you motivated and arting! Next time you'll nail it for sure :D

Very sorry to hear, & I hope you feel better soon. If finishing is something you really want to do, then by all means, do just that. However you decide to approach this, good luck to you.
