Hmmm this isn’t something I really want to do. Who loves talking sausage explaining how it gets made?
But it feels strangely necessary. I won’t go into detail but life has been a pretty much doing everything in it’s power to prevent me from doing what I love doing. Maybe that is the point of this…to help convey one major point:
I love Weasel Knight, and I want to make it. I hate this haitus.
Whew. That is a big one. Ok. Making art is hard. It is not a task one takes lightly. A single page is often a 5-8 hour endeavor. For a singular being doing all of it…a singular person who has a full time job, a family and responsibility…its tough. Weasel Knight hasn’t be happening because those things don’t stop. I would like to whine and explain how stressful NOT making this comic has been but no one wishes to read that. Maybe on a more positive note–There is a second bullet point I hope everyone understands: An entire world, multiple characters, jokes and various plot lines exist in my head and my head alone with no escape. There is a voice in the back of my head that sometimes finds just enough leverage to say: “Hey. Wouldn’t this be easier if you just used AI?” to which I reply “Yes. Yes it would. But it wouldn’t be Weasel Knight.“
I’ve thought of compromises but considering how much AI helped with the cooler features of this very website…I understand how much of a slippery slope AI can be. It can make one lazy.
So what is the way going forward? Honestly? I don’t know. I am hopeful that I can figure it out but right now, I am afraid I just don’t know.
