My OC manga project cancelled :(
Dear all,
This actually happened a few months back, but I didn't wanna announce this due to my heavy preparation to attend the Anicult event to interview Ayano Yamane. Have to say this sooner or later, so I choose now to tell everyone...
I'm extremely sad to announce that my OC manga project is cancelled. I'm so sorry to everyone who has been looking forward to it and even checking on updates for it. Let me tell you what happened...
First of all, please know that it is not the fault of Joberu (the artist). I started approaching her and asking her about doing this together since middle of last year. But in between, I have personal issues at home, and so I kept dragging my plans and storyboards for the manga. Of course, we don't have any contract or agreement binding to this project.
So when I am feeling a bit better and wanted to start it... it's around only beginning of this year, Joberu is engaged already with another fundraising project and she's eager to start her own Patreon, and mentioning that she cannot do anything long term (which is what my manga is...a bit long). So I said that's okay and decided to cancel the project with her.
After that, I have given thoughts to extend my OC project to another artist (which I have not asked yet), but it may give a completely different feeling to what Joberu has drawn previously... so I have to be careful of that too.
So yeah, there's an indefinite postponement for this project now.
Not everything will go well in life, but it happens for a reason... so in a way, I know I have to try harder and lessons learned too. I still feel very bad to those who were looking forward to it.... really sorry about it, but hope you all will continue to support AarinFantasy.
