"The Road to Resilient Art – Week Two"
This is it—Week Two of Resilient A.R.T. and I’m officially committing to a one-page-a-week schedule. Exciting? Yes. Nerve-wracking? Also yes. But more than anything, this feels long overdue.
For years, I’ve been telling fragments of this story in my art, scattered across different mediums, never quite landing on the right way to bring it all together. Now, finally, I’m giving it the space it deserves. This world, these characters, and the themes running through them have been forming in my head for so long that they feel like home, even as I build them from scratch.
What to Expect
I’ll be releasing one page per week, sticking to a batch approach where I work on several pages ahead of time so I don’t fall behind. This should keep the process sustainable, especially as I balance it with other creative projects. Octodaze
Each update will go live on my blog, eventually Webtoon, and Instagram, giving you different ways to follow along. And while this first stretch is all about setting the foundation, I can already tell that things are going to evolve as I go. That’s part of the excitement—letting the story breathe, shift, and become something bigger than I first imagined.
Different Disembarkments, Different Destinations
Some people have a clear path laid out before them. They know exactly what to do, step by step, and move forward with confidence. Others—most of us, I think—are just slogging through, figuring it out piece by piece, improvising as we go.
I’ve spent a long time trying to live every other way—trying to fit into structures that weren’t built for me, convincing myself that art was secondary, that it had to be. But in the end, nothing has ever felt more real to me than this. Even when it’s frustrating. Even when it’s terrifying. Even when I doubt myself.
And that’s what makes it worth doing.
Moving Forward
So here we are, at the start of something real. If you’re here reading this, thanks for being a part of it. I don’t know exactly where this path leads, but I know that I’m finally on the right one.
Next week: More worldbuilding, more art, and maybe a little more confidence. We’ll see.
