Chapter 6: Fairy Godmother Mode pg1

As i sit down drawing this new iteration of Hocusha, i feel that i know her better. That's why i had a writer's block for Chapter 5 and pretty much stopped working on this comic. First rule in any 12 step program is that you have to admit you have a problem.

The biggest problem was, even though she is the star, she feels more of a supporting character against the 'client' characters in each story. We know less about her than we know about the 'client' characters Who are her friends? What does she do in her spare time? Does she have a day job? Who are her mum & dad? Does she have any siblings? What's her backstory like? So many questions to answer and i slowly realized she's not fleshed out properly.

Now, i feel i know how to make Hocusha work again. Hopefully my other problem, blowing deadlines, can be solved in time. One step at a time Vig, one step at a time.
