#daernika

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the comic. It was my first D&D campaign and something I loved, and I learned a lot from doing it, so I don’t regret it. If I hadn’t tried to make it, I would have wondered forever what could have been. But at this point I hate the art from most of it, I cringe reading the early stuff cause I didn’t know what I was doing, and overall it was a failure. In hindsight, despite learning from it, it probably prevented me from starting an art career sooner since the comic itself was basically a gamble that didn’t pay off and took up most of my time. I shouldn’t have tried to build a following on something that I knew even at the time was going to take ten years to finish at minimum. I ended up with a lot of stress and shame associated with it at the end, hence even the written version sort of trickling to mostly a stop. I ended up losing contact with most of my friends from the game over the years for various reasons, except my partner. It’s all ended up tainting my memories of the campaign itself. So it’s… all kind of a mess in my brain rip.

Day 25: Tasty / Party

Daernika is a webcomic adaptation of a D&D campaign, and updates every Friday.

//if i ever do throw my bones to the wolves

It’s been nice to draw Aidina and other stuff from this campaign more again recently tbh

Didn’t see a particular October prompt list I vibed with so I’m making my own. I’ll probably mainly use OCs/D&D characters for this, but no guarantees lol.

I wanted to do a whole background for this, but do not have time rip. Downside of doing daily art. But I wanna keep up with it for as long as I can, even if I don’t end up doing the whole month.
