4th of July effort 2016
BLACK MAGIC OF SUMMER 2016, JULY 4TH.
Black Magic of course had a version made in fall 2014 from its original written ideas. The summer 2016 version in July was basically to update the work done from that version which essentially was a draft using a special method. I never could communicate the then method into an updated format. What I ended up creating was a new storyline based vaguely on the original ideas. I had made it on paper. Then in the way of that time, traced the results onto the computer. Each serial back then was formalized in one strip. That strip was then copied onto another paper and then I would make a full comic out of one page using that strip. It worked out but really; the story this time around went too fast and basically did not reach any notions I what I had for the original. I put the comic on Tapas and it was just in black and white. It was a start I realized. Yet I realized how much I just was pressured by the circumstances I was in there to not be able to find the actual resources and mental power to make the work as an updated version of the fall 2014 work. I was ultimately forced to move along to other projects.
Here I began to understand how pressure just affects the ability for anyone to create well and just the reach of poverty and lack of support are just cages. Yet, I realized that really a person just would not have to let people get to them or the circumstances either and just have a higher discipline to continue on. It was good I recognized this because I surely would need this lesson for the disaster that was fall 2016.
I could actually write pages of what I faced in that time period but the whole contest I entered really was not helpful with anything at all. Only a challenge that really I could have done on a weekend and said, " I made an attempt" and just quit. In fact I would have been better off just posting the whole Shark on Campus comic to MK MZODERN instead of pandering to a contest. Now, I probably will write about the circumstances but would have to start from fall 2015 or at least from the start of 2016 to get the point across somewhat but then again would have to explain the whole fall 2013 contexts again. Really would have to put fall 2013 stuff in the context of what effects it had 3 years later.
The interesting thing about this Black Magic is that it happen on or around the fourth of July. It added new characters that were never used or recalled again minus the one new version of the first threat that comes out of the book to threaten the main characters. Honestly for the current one, this means that there could be use of these same characters. Though what is truly interesting is that new characters were created for the later July 2018 version of Black Magic which is the current version. Would seem to make it go full circle. Yet this work would just be lost pretty much to any continuation but occasional mentions whenever I was to work on Black Magic.
The thing about this time period of the summer 2016 was that it was real empty of women at all. There was to be no one there but people who literally wanted to crush you into an image you weren't. One person from college who went so far to show interest in me when I went there; basically tried to say I was being a creep for including her in the comic. Which I never did and really much the characters Stacy and Rok were created in 2008, which is way before I ever knew them. But yea, that is to be said the height of craziness following you and you would not find this fact out until later. Frankly any woman that happens in the path of my creating then and much now-literally is insane, will backstab, cannot be counted on to give as much of an effort at all or just cannot be reached because of circumstances make it too dangerous to(bad people and a bad virus).
The time I made those characters I was in a real heat of pressure and frankly was thinking about whether or not I should go to a local park to get out of the house for the day and not be stuck in a room with a basic target on my back.Just no support was to come from anyone you met at a college but hatred and its to be said the good and sane people would never seek you out and harass you online ( as the girl mentioned before) or else. Parents and family where no help and they were constantly trying to get in my way, literally and that is the most unforgivable act that was done for the most part. Thinking they were so much better and never saw the effort by my works just thinking they were to be pushovers. Yet I did not allow myself to be pushed over as you can see. I am not one of those people who can be forced down a path that is beneath them and any good thinking person. I am to say however that really much they basically realized I knew I was doing but that was after too much shit. Really too much shit.
Alas, the effort to actually make the comic in July 2016 was actual hard. I started on the comic the day I drew the designs for the characters which is to say there was no time to breathe. The work lacked this time to breathe too and frankly that is why I did not like it at the end after making all the comics online and different covers too for each one. I was a tiring process that took a week or two. No real thanks for this work at all and I just continued other projects vowing to give others more time to breathe.
