I've been working on a comic since last May but have yet to fully complete it. All the pages are sketched but as I go along I'm taking out parts and adding in parts. Now its been about a month or two since I last did anything. I'm just wondering how an artist is supposed to finish something as big as a drawn story? I don't want to be a concept artist forever!
