dailycupofcreativitea:(Reads right to left, manga style!)A longer-than-expected comic based on excerpts from a poem I read in high school called “Walking Both Sides of an Invisible Border” by Alootook Ipellie, an Inuit poet born in Nuvuqquq on Baffin Island (now known as Nunavut). Some analysis for the poem:“These two sides [of the border] represent the way he was born, Inuk, and how he was forcibly raised in a Western education system. He knows that the way he is forced to live isn’t his fault, but that doesn’t make it easier. He feels as though destiny decided his life for him, and then left him to struggle through it and fend for himself.”I thought the poem was very fitting for half-breed Gohan who struggles to live as both Saiyan and human, two clashing cultures that he struggles to reconcile. All he wants is to live as himself, but he’s constantly pulled towards either side by his studies, by battles, by his gentle nature, by his overwhelming power…he can never get a break. It’s only when he grows to be an adult that he finds a way to balance both his studies and his training, even if that balance falls apart sometimes.(The whole poem is worth a read, so check it out!).(Also, side note: this is my first time using the free program Medibang. I’m still struggling to figure out how to use colour and texture, so I left this comic as simply line art. Also, embarrassingly, I realized near the end that I was on the pencil tool the whole time, when I meant to use the pen tool…ah well. You live and you learn!) -- source link
