After a while of having completed this picture and an even longer time since I started it or even hinted within the Misery world what I was thinking about, I've finally come to say: I'm gonna be revamping Misery!!! For the longest time, thinking about doing this made me really sad, and honestly it still does--but right now I'm feeling relatively positive and relaxed about it, so I'm gonna roll with that for this here description!
Misery is a world that's been a part of my life for close to 8 years now, which is a long time!! Started from a bunch of random doodles and a fleeting idea of a story in my head, I ran with it and created a lovely cast of characters and world that I'm still super proud of, but for a while now, things haven't quite sat right.
I've been stumped over how to move forward with these guys, and slowly I've come to realize that there are a lot of things about what I have set up for Misery currently that... I'm not so satisfied with, or that I feel like have been preventing me from exploring these characters and this world any further! It's tough to say that I'm not happy with the plot, or the character relationships, or even the character designs the way I once was--but it's the truth! I don't think that's a bad thing; it makes sense for a world to grow just like I, myself, have but it does still feel sad.
However, it doesn't have to be! I wanted to make this picture to set this revamp in stone and finally allow myself to let go of the reins a bit and just explore! It's been a tough one to complete, (if that wasn't super obvious, ha ha) and I ended up leaving a lot of the characters as sketches because dwelling on it for so long just made me unmotivated and upset. I'm excited for this though! These characters I know and love are still gonna be around in one shape or form; I'm just finally allowing myself to branch out a bit with and explore other avenues, which I think is what I need if I wanna get to a place where I feel more satisfied and happy about everything!
So, here's to that and to everything I've created so far! Misery's been a passion of mine for a long time, and I'm not ready to give up on it! I'm just ready to see what wonderful things a little change can bring, so I hope y'all are excited just like I am!
Enjoy!
