The tale of the invisible giant: a lesson from the start

This is a story, of times not too long ago, of a child who had a dream about being an invisible giant; A giant one  could never see but was always there, staring at the clouds and crafting the finest fantasies from them. It was improbable and physically impossible, everyone said, but in time the child did become a giant, albeit an invisible one, with the help of many other friends who shared the same dream. This is the story of the beginning, in a time where people lived with two feet on the ground and their eyes fixed firmly on the earth.

1st ever rant: No love for digital comic artists/ Illustrators?

So theres no official first post yet, but I thought I’d like to do a first rant of the sort.

Well, basically, after meeting and talking to Mr Sonny, Yong How, 0ne (Thanks guys for all the critiques about our work! Will pay attention to the points you mentioned!) and my artists, plus my personal experiences with freelancing and the like, Im pretty dismayed to finally realize that both professional and aspiring artists alike both face the common problem of not earning enough to live a decent lifestyle. With the exception of a lucky few who have made it like, really big thanks to their tremendous talent and hard work.
