Hey, Steemit/@dtube! I’ve been writing a lot about how comics art truly art therapy for me. I love telling stories and I love drawing sequential art. Why the need for so much creative therapy lately? Well, this market is a big part of it. The plan was to withdraw enough cryptocurrency to comfortably work on my comic projects with @ghostfish, transitioning out of photography. That’s clearly not going to happen on the timeline I hoped for.
As an artist, I tend to visualize everything. I’ve been thinking about this brutal bear market’s persistence as a villain, beating the living pulp out of her hero protagonist, STEEM. Years ago, I was friends with a guy that was obsessed with anime, specifically, Dragonball Z. We eventually became roommates, and I remember him hanging on the edge of his seat for fight scenes that would literally last two or three entire episodes!
That brought me the idea of this fun side project. “Steemian vs. The Bear”! No story line, per say. This isn’t going to have a decisive “end”. Two characters. Steemian, obviously, representing our precious STEEM blockchain […and in a sense, all of us], and “The Bear”. A self explanatory asshole that relentlessly beats on our protagonist, until eventually the tide turns and our hero gains the upper hand.
The idea is, I’m not going to write this. The cryptocurrency market is going to write the endless fight. I’ll draw pages that reflect what is actually happening in the world. If STEEM drops another 30% by next week, you can anticipate some more back-breaking brutality for our favorite token. If it shoots up to $1, a super saiyan Steemian will rise, unleashing the punishment of the blockchain against a fearful Bear.
This is something I’m doing to help cope with the hard time, while contributing something to the Steemit comic community. Hopefully, in the process, giving us all something to laugh at for good and for ill. It’s just for fun, since we’re all rooting for the home team. Thanks for reading.
