Making comics ain’t easy lol

 

MODRAWMANGA

I grew up reading a boatload of manga, and I drew Sailor Moon doujin for my high school mates to read.

I wanted to make my own original story manga for the longest time, but never had the time cos I was too preoccupied with other things in life.

Around 2016-ish, my co-worker recommended Bakuman manga and I stumbled into these beautifully illustrated indie comics: Fisheye Placebo and Ghostblade. I thought “I wanna make something like that and I will finish it in one year!!”

( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑

So I started MD in 2017, not knowing how much work it takes to create a comic like that.

I estimated it wouldn’t take me longer than a year, to write and draw this simple romantasy story about a cold-hearted bounty hunter and a hot alien princess who emits magical aphrodisiac. It’s obvious now that estimate was super delusional. Ha ha...

(>_<) (T_T)

COVID pushed me into a long break. Since 2017, I’ve learned that writing is hard and comics are even harder. But as a reader whose soul was saved by books, nothing is more fulfilling than writing stories.

Now I create whenever time and family allow.
