Im curious about something.
Most people have a story they want to tell but lack the ability, skill in chosen media, time, or discipline to make it.
Im slowly working on my own idea but I wanna know what ideas others have had and what's stopping you from making it?
A story about my OCs, set in the world they live in. It's going to be in a 3D artstyle, as drawing (with my drawing abilities) would not allow me to have the level of detail I'd like to have.
What has stopped me is I didn't realise until about a year or two ago that I even wanted to do that. I have a decent talent for 3D art so it isn't hard for me to learn and understand the basics. But, frustratingly, my mental heath issues make it hard for me to work as consistently as I would like to.
Currently, I am writing out the story itself in detail so when I'm ready I can adapt an actually-finished story into comic form.
You want my best ideas, huh? Call my agent and we can discuss royalties. kidding of course
I've got plenty of comic ideas but not much ability to execute them. Maybe some day.
One I had recently was of a Fennekin being haunted by a Ghastly or similar but being so full of joy and whimsy that it ends up befriending the ghost and they grow up together.
Edit: okay I looked it up and ghastly is FOUR TIMES LARGER than fennekin holy shit

Small steps are still steps.
Im glad your at least getting to write the story! Having a script (in any quality state) is super important I found while making mine (not that Ive been able to illustrate far mind you.)

Large friend is still friend right?
Even if I ever get around to making art, I'm unlikely to ever make this comic, but this is the rather ridiculous "backstory" I came up with way back for one of my OCs, Houndy. (who only exists in my head, as I've never actually made art...)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers universe. Houndy (a Houndour) and Zangoose are in an exploration team and on a mission. Chatot catches them fucking instead of working. He tattles to Guildmaster Wigglytuff. They punish the team by making them wear chastity cages for their next mission, which Chatot jokingly refers to as "penis armor". Lewd stuff ensues on their next mission. They return the chastity cages. Houndy decides he actually kinda liked the chastity cage. Later, Chatot notices them fucking again, though off-duty and in the guild. Chatot tries to spy on them, but gets caught. Houndy offers to let Chatot join the fun in exchange for letting him keep the chastity cage. Chatot agrees. Zangoose effectively becomes the keyholder, if only because Houndy's paws aren't great for holding keys or reaching his penis. END.
I guess this is what a decade and a half of furry porn does to your mind, lol.
A full on reboot to Warriors All-Stars universe and story with my OCs i made in mind (sounds a bit much i know 😢)

And what's stopping you from making it? Even writing the script?

And what's holding you back from creating this yourself?
for a bit of context i saw this short post by someone else that HAD some potential in my opinion but i didnt fw (cuz it had rape as a response to a mild situation [also sort of talked about it a bit and my motivations for making it in blip #137480]) so now im thinking of making a bit of a slowburn just out of spite.
make a comic where guy at gym (fill in animal later, guys also going there cuz hes done self defense classes before but hes still weak as shit. guy was also bullied at school when he was young so thats sort of a motivator) meets strong dobermann girl who shes sort of an ass to everyone at the gym but somewhat moreso to him. guy is nonchalant about it tho (if anything just confused why hes being targeted), partially cuz of his past experiences with being bullied. dobermann one day helps him with his exercises cuz his technique is off (to help him) but OF COURSE she says "this doesnt change anything between us". over time dobermann starts falling for him (not full on loving him but just having feelings she doesnt understand) and leaves guy alone for a while cuz shes still wondering why the fuck she feels this way (spoiler she finds him weak but in a cute way). eventually after like a week of being distant really awkwardly confesses to him in private in locker room. guy reluctantly does accept an invitation to a date even tho hes not interested in her (yet) due to believing at most (AT THE TIME) they could be friends and she would get off his ass. date surprisingly goes well, dobermanns still an ass but sort of less of one which guy likes (LIKES THE NON ASS PART). fast forward to when theyre working at the gym and the guy eventually confesses to HER about liking the soft side of her, despite her being a de facto asshole. dobermann is like "why the fuck" but guy is like "idc i love that side of you even if it isnt you". dobermann thinks to herself "wait hold on that nice side shows up when im like actually happy and shit. is that the real me and the tough asshole side is like a facade?" but eventually stops talking cuz theyre in public and needs to keep her status as a tough girl at the gym or whatever but invites guy to her house for a second date. at house they talk more and guy reveals his past when she asks him "why arent you scared of me like everyone else at the gym" to which she sort of feels bad for him and later she reveals her own history (just being sort of a bully even as a kid but having a soft spot to her one friend at school [family too of course cuz shes not gonna curse out her grandma or anything like that] until friend left the city, which is when she sort of didnt grow out of this tough personality cuz she didnt have much space to socialize with others but her family) when the guy asks "whats with the attitude? i know you can be soft with that date we had" to which he also feels bad for her. (work on more of this later)
however, for me to actually make this comic it would require for me to learn how to write (the kanye fanfic im doing rn does not count) AND also for me to learn how to draw, with both of those criteria not being met as of right now. eventually when i hone my skills i will try to make this comic a real thing.

That would require me with my ADHD brain to actually sit down and do a thing... I've never made art before. My first priority would be making a picture to likely use as my avatar here though, not making a whole comic.
Im currently practicing my comic making ability by making a comic about my oc Quong going to try and buy some new underwear. The slow part is thinking up what happens before he gets to the underwear part. Sketching, lineart, shading and color take quite a bit of time for me so it's a slow process. However that's the point of practice: to attempt and learn.

Oh totally! Before I started my own comic I had no idea how much work it would be but its totally worth it! Its a good challenge for not only planning but drawing in general!
I just released pg 10 last night (Im aiming for 18-20 pgs minimum per chapter) and I can already see the difference in my work.
I have a billion narrative things I want to make, but I already don't have time for all the dev work I want to do, & I'd cringe myself out of my skin were I to attempt to start. If I every make the game ideas I have in my head, that'd be when I actually get something done.

Yeaah its tough finding time for stuff between work and other responsibilities to make stuff you want.
