4 years of seasons

Instructions

4 years of Seasons <3 ~ What do you mean it’s been 4 years since I posted the prologue? Where does time go? ~ So, for this occasion, I decided to go through all the chapters that are currently out (including the bonus chapter) and add up all the panels I’ve drawn for this comic :,D So the grand total is 1397 panels over 4 years. And considering that each panel will take me maybe 30 minutes on average (sometimes more, sometimes less), that’s most likely over 41,910 minutes of my life spent on drawing panels for my comic :,> a grand total of 698 hours and 30 minutes drawing :))))))) Guys. WHAT?!?!! HOW!??! I’ve also added up a rough estimate of how many thumbnail entries I’ve received from you guys, over the span of Seasons, the estimated total being over 1153. That is insane <333 I have no words to express my gratitude. Other than thank you. Like I can’t believe that. Thank you everyone from the base of my heart for reading my comic, making fan-art/theories/reactions, commenting, hearting, star-ing and even just clicking on the chapters or anything to do with them <333 When I was brainstorming this comic, I hoped people would read it, but I had no clue just how many people would <3 You have no idea just how much joy it brings me each time I see someone has remixed one of my chapters with a reaction, theory, fan-art, meme, or just- anything. That makes days. Genuinely. ~ So it’s crazy to realise just how much of my time this has occupied :,> It’s a lot of effort, and like, for what? I’ve definitely asked myself, “what’s it for?” I still ask myself that. What has it all been for? The still frames will never be able to tell the story, or depict the character’s emotions exactly how I have it in my head. I’ll never be able to write a scene exactly how I’d first worded it when imagining it for the first time. I’ve never been content with a chapter when I go to post it, I’m always very nervous :,> It normally takes me an entire morning to work up the courage to post a chapter (I do so, by going over it 100,000 times) So like, why do I keep making this series??? There’s a reason I keep coming back to it. There’s been times when I’ve taken breaks, fully expecting to never pick it back up again, but I’m still working on this thing because drawing and writing for it really does make me happy. Especially when life is tough and I need an escape :> And even though there are SO MANY FLAWS in this story, so many things I could have done better when I was a kid: Copious amounts of spelling mistakes, poor pacing, and just like, basic story-telling errors, I still love this story and the characters. There is a lot to them that ya’ll don’t know yet, because the plot has only just emerged as of it’s 4 year anniversary :,D Seasons has two acts. We’re maybe halfway through act one (though the second half won’t be spread out over another 40 chapters I promise, I’m picking up the pace) But like, I have pooled my own emotions into these characters, so of course I’ve become attached to them and will never be able to forget about them. All 40,000 million of them (there’s roughly around 40 characters that Seasons follows/will follow(another mistake made by younger me)) Even if someday, I do stop making Seasons, and I leave it unfinished, these characters are gonna live on in my mind, and who knows, I might write a novel version of Seasons someday (and I’d revise it of course). But obviously, I have all of you to thank for this even being a thing. I wouldn’t have spent this long, on this many panels if no one read it. You have all encouraged me so SO much <333 Thankyouthankyouthankyou, I will not stop saying it >:) Now I have an archived progression of my art and storytelling development to look back on. So thank you everyone <3 whether you’ve been reading Seasons/known of Seasons since yesterday, or since the prologue, thank you <33 If you remember reading Missing Stars when that was coming out, woah… I don’t even know what to say… Thank you to everyone who’s made a Thumbnail, or even just considered joining the Thumbnail contests <3 Thank you so much to anyone who’s made fan-art <3333333 AHH Thank you to the incredible wonderful Voice Actors who bring these characters to life <333 and for your patience with me xDDD Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Seasons Dubbed <333 man. I wish there were some other way to say “thank you” like we need another phrase in the English language xDDDDDD Thank you to anyone who submitted a cameo once upon a time <3 … (This is continued bellow because it got too long :,D of course it did)
