Amelia Barnum is a Visual Animation major at LVA. When asked, what inspired her to write and draw a webcomic, Barnum responded, “ Personally, I’ve just always been interested in comics and storytelling, and I thought I guess I’ll just get started because if you just wait around planning forever, you’re never gonna get done. So just bust it out and show people what you can do.”
While Barnum has only been working on her original webcomic for a few months, she is hard at work to keep herself on time. “I have 12 episodes out now, but I’ve been trying a whole lot to keep up on schedule,” said Barnum.
“I basically took a month to come up with my whole story and planning everything out. Sometimes when I look back on it, I should have taken more time to figure out what kind of dialogue I wanted to use and how the character designs should change.” Barnum said, as a final reminder to take your time, and to warn against rushing your craft.
