SNEAKERS' U-FORCE is the most popular of OmniLegend Tales on Global Comix! 🎇
Global Comix sends me bi-monthly updates on readership of my comics there. I have 3 followers there (I technically don't count the fourth because it was an erroneous follow vote from myself, but I'd rather not un-follow because I feel that shows I'm not proud of my work... yeeeaah, I'm kinda weird like that), which to me is more than I could ask for.
What surprises me, though, is that of all the installments for each of my two series, Lil' Hero Artists and Sneakers' U-Force, it seems Sneakers' U-Force is the most popular of the two series, with readership for all three current installments -- Volumes 1 and 2, and Volume 3 - Issue #12 -- currently amounting at nearly 4,600 reads, with one reader also favoriting the series today, tying it with the single favorite for Lil' Hero Artists.
During my time at my former job, I remember something all of my supervisors -- our HR manager in particular -- always told me to take to heart: that it's high time I start taking the compliments I've been getting from others seriously, because they are honest compliments. As I've always been extremely self-critical and self-conscious, accepting compliments hasn't exactly been easy to do. And as far as my art goes, yeah, many people tell me I'm FAR too humble about my work, ranging from my local bookstore owner who never complained about slow sales with my work while also declaring to me that I'm the only local artist whose graphic novels would grace her shelves (!), to my Eco Art instructor who not only helped my with my vision to bring Sneakers' U-Force to life, but to make it the star attraction at the gallery in 2010, along with an interview and photo-op for the college paper.
I think I'll start taking the compliments now. No point in denying what people keep telling me; I am proud of what I've accomplished. And I'm excited about what I've got planned for the future for not just my series, but another series currently in development headed by a good friend of mine since 7th grade who wants to try his own hand at scripting a graphic novel of his own with me as illustrator and graphic designer. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
