[WIP2]젠레스 존제로 만화 / ゼンレスゾーンゼロ漫画

작업이 너무 늦어져서 중간 진행 상황을 보고하려고 합니다!!

업로드가 늦어져서 눈치채신 분들도 계시겠지만,

이번 작업에도… 고비가 찾아왔습니다…ㅠㅠ

The project has been delayed far more than I expected,

so I wanted to share a progress update.

Some of you may have noticed the delay in uploads,

and yes… this project has run into another rough patch ㅠㅠ

사실... 콘티를 마치고 스케치 단계로 들어가는 순간부터

작업이 잘 풀리지 않아서 꽤 당황했습니다

Actually… right after finishing the storyboard and moving into the sketch phase, things just weren’t going well at all, and it really threw me off.

이전 수오미 작업 때, 그땐 건강 문제가 겹치긴 했었지만..

작업을 갈아엎는 등 만족스럽게 진행되지 않아 힘들었었는데

이번에도 그때랑 비슷한 느낌이 들더라구요

When I worked on the Suomi comic before, things didn’t go smoothly either.

There were some health issues back then too, but more than that, I just couldn’t make any real progress— I ended up scrapping and restarting the whole thing.

This time around, it’s been feeling kind of similar.

으음...그래서 뭐가 문제일까 고민을 해봤는데..

1장의 일러스트를 그리는 건

익숙하고, 경험을 쌓아오며 감도 잡았지만

만화는 자주 그려온 방식이 아니다 보니, 점점 감을 잃었던것 같아요

So I started thinking about what might be going wrong.

I’m pretty comfortable with drawing single illustrations—

it’s something I’ve done a lot, and I’ve gotten a good feel for it over time.

But comics are a format I haven’t worked with as consistently,

so I think I’ve been gradually losing my touch with them.

작업물을 자주 보여드릴수 있는 작업 주기를 만들기 위해선

"데드라인을 정하고 무조건 밀어붙여야 한다"

는 생각도 했지만 작업물의 상태를 봤을 때

'이건 도저히 용납이 안된다' 는 생각이 들어

강행시키질 못했습니다..ㅠㅠ

At one point, I thought maybe I just needed to set a hard deadline and force myself to push through— just to build a more consistent work cycle and share updates more regularly. But when I looked at the state of the work,

I honestly felt like, “No… this just isn’t acceptable,”

and I couldn’t bring myself to push it forward like that. 😓

지금은 어느정도 감을 잡긴 한 것 같아서

어떻게든 밀고 나가서 완성을 해보려고 해요

That said, I think I’ve gotten a bit of the feeling back now,

so I’m going to try and push through to the finish somehow.

그리고 만화나 대사가 있는 CG작업의 양과 비중을 늘리고

단순한 1장짜리 일러스트 작업양을 줄여서

어떻게든 스토리가 있는 쪽으로 방향을 잡으려고 합니다

Along with that, I’m also planning to shift more toward story-driven work—

like comics or CG sets with dialogue—

and reduce the number of standalone illustrations.

I want to focus more on content that has some kind of narrative flow, even if it’s short.

지금 다시 감을 되찾아가고 있긴 하지만,

그 감을 되찾는 데 너무 많은 시간을 버렸고 또 고통스럽기도 했기 때문에...

앞으로는 감을 잃지 않고 비슷한 방식으로

계속 이어나갈 수 있도록 스타일을 잡아보려고 합니다.

I do feel like I’m slowly getting my sense back, but it took a lot of time—and honestly, it was pretty painful. That’s why I want to lock in a working style that I can stick with—something that follows a similar process, so I don’t lose my rhythm again and can keep moving forward more consistently.

아무튼 작업물이 늦어져서 죄송합니다ㅠㅠ

헤맨 시간만큼 더 속도를 내보도록 해볼게요!

Anyway, I’m really sorry for the delay. 😔

I’ll do my best to pick up the pace and make up for the time I’ve lost.

감사합니다!

Thank you so much, as always!
