The first The Hunter

Today it's my birthday, so great time for wistfully evoking the past.

Here I share with you my first attempt at comics. Those pages cringe the crap out of me, but I guess that is part of being an artist, be ashamed of the first works. As you can see, there are no sex scenes here. I wanted to make it some sort of mainstream comic. But I reckoned that was more about my fantasies and less about a plot with something to say.

I was so in trouble with the plot that I put the most cliched of the opening scenes. A foreboding dream sequence. Just to say to the reader: see, something will happen sooner or later. It's not just me playing with a bunch of jacked woodsmen.

(And also I've seen so many fucking stupid and poorly drawn comics on Tapas and Webtoons with thousands of subscription, that I just couldn't bear the frustration. There's a comic about a guy with a Hello Kitty head. For God of the Cats' sake!)

But there's heart in those pages, I wanted this story to mean something. I wasn't just ready. Both in drawing and storytelling techniques.

One of the good sides of having a purely erotic comic is that I can think about an actual story without the pulsion to put cheesy sex drama everywhere.

Well, now I have to find the time. Eh.
