It's painfully frustrating to have lost an opportunity like this, and who knows when the heck some kind of opportunity can rise again like this? It doesn't happen very often, and yet, there's no one but myself to blame for this failure. I'm talking about the JUMP+ contest....I was so excited for it, and yet I failed to meet the deadline. ((´д`)) At first, even knowing that time was not on my side, I thought, "Even if there is only 4 days left, I'll definitely make the deadline!" Perhaps it was my inability to accept the fact that I wouldn't be able to make it...And I did work hard, started to draw pages...raced against the clock. But yesterday, rather VERY early today, I just realized that sure, I could get 30 pages sketched, inked, scanned, and tone in time, BUT the quality would be another story...and I didn't want to just submit some crap that didn't show the full of my current abilities, even if they aren't that high... At the same time though, after I finally accepted that, it's like a huge stress has been taken off my mind!

That being said, there's no time for moping around! I'm still going to finish the one shot, but I'm going to take my time on it....and now, I'm going to try harder than ever to IMPROVE! Next time an opportunity like this comes around, I definitely won't lose! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Just now managed to read this!

That's quite unfortunate about the deadline... I know I personally suck with deadlines, so I like to give myself more than what I think I'll need to cushion myself if I'm struck with procrastination or if I'm just running real slow. Besides, the production process - quality drawing, inking, scanning, editing - takes a long time anyway, so its nice to have a large enough cushion to be able to work at a decent pace, especially if it's a 30-page one shot. I think this will be a new learning experience for you as I hope another opportunity like this does appear! I only wish for the best!

But that's really great that you're back on your feet with this and you're taking your time!  If another opportunity rears its head for you, you'll definitely be ready to submit your work! Or better yet, you can do some extra work and search for more of these opportunities! That should be super exciting! :aww:

Good luck!
