O'hare Yonkoma's 1-3 (Patreon)

 Yon' (四 ) means 4, and 'Koma' (コマ)  means a frame, panel, or scene :3

I started drawing this after getting an influx of Japanese followers on twitter

Now if I'm honest working on these strips has been the source of a fair amount of anxiety for me, as earlier in this year, I failed to produce a proper O'hare comic that I set out to produce. At the time I bit off way more than I could chew and burned myself out. And given that I'm a guy who hates to let people down, this hurt me far more than I think people realize. And all of that depression ended up being tied to the character. I love Lady O'hare. She's one of my favorite creations, but when I sit down to draw her now theres this fear that whatever I do with her will ultimately lead to disappointment. However the 4 panel format helped me cut through the stage fright.

Because I was limited in panel count, panel structure, and aspect ratio, I was forced to really get my ideas onto the paper quickly while limiting my scope. Truly this format is easy to learn but hard to master, and I know that I still have a lot of practice to do! So for the time being, I'm going to try make comics like these and help build up my confidence as an artist :3
