So far the best I've gotten is working off of existing worlds, but mark my words: If I keep at it, by the age of 40, I might publish a book!
(You can check out my most current endeavors over at saintstreetscrossbones.tumblr.com, totally not a self-advertisement ... )
But hey, I caught up to your fan-comic, and I got to say it's got a solid pace so far
The character introductions gave me an Oban Star Racers vibe.
(And also, should not Black Friday not waste, who's to say I won't consider a commission? I've been meaning to ask for well over a year, when you first opened them, but I was a poor boy back then :') )
