Storyboard day

Today felt like a storyboard day, so that's what I worked on. This series is sorely behind, but I think it'll definitely get done someday.
I'm not actually making anything too new here, but mostly just redrawing an old storyboard I had. Things like how I want the main character to be to the actual style of the drawings have all changed since I last worked on this, so I wanted to update it all before I started lining in earnest.
I feel a lot better about the drawings this time around, which is good since I still wasn't sure about them when I finished the storyboard the first time... I still need to work on speeding them up, but I think the lines will come out nicely, in any case.
New panel <- -> Old panel. Using fatter/rougher lines is kind of an attempt at forcing myself to leave detail for later. (Procreate on iPad actually helped a lot with practicing that since it's very easy to just tilt the pencil and instantly get more ambiguous, sketchy lines.)
And at the risk of getting conceited, I think I'm just like, better at drawing than I was the first time, so things feel better overall.
Still, I worry about whether or not this project will pay off, in whatever way that it can. Most importantly though, what happens as a result aside, I do want to see this short story finished someday since it's been written for so long, and I'd like to finally send its message out into the world.
I'm wondering if I could eventually focus almost full-time on short story webcomics like this one will be, so this will be the beginning of that adventure.
