Random venting:
A month or so ago, I posted a message on reddit looking to hire an artist to draw a six-page Mokou x Kaguya fan art manga. It's a tricky business when you do that because finding someone that way who can actually draw worth a damn isn't easy.
But I found a guy! And we started working together. Was a solid collab. Got the storyboards all done, some rough sketching done...
...and then the radio silence started. Would go days without hearing from him. Progress was super slow. And he started mentioning how difficult it was, much more difficult than he expected.
Today, he bailed on me. Refunded my money, so at least he's honest and honorable. But now I'm back at square one and I am annoyed.
