Bored Panda reached out to Mesut Kaya again to learn more about him! The artist has been creating comics for quite some time, so we got curious whether he has noticed some changes in his creative process. "I used to give myself as much time as I needed, which led to me being stuck with an idea that wouldn't work, no matter how much time I would spend to make it work. With a schedule and feedback, I can move on quicker and spend more time coming up with new ideas. I also started playing around with 3D elements, which is super fun," Mesut shared.
Speaking about the best part of the creative process, the artist shared that he likes coming up with unique ways to tell relatable stories. "You might have to read the comic a second time, but I want the reader to think about what they've just read. I also love coming up with funny facial expressions."
While artists face various reactions from their audience, Mesut shared that his followers leave mostly positive responses. "I love reading their comments and discussions. I almost never partake in discussions, cause I feel like I made my point with the comic. No need to make comments about me."
The artist shared that for the time being he is working on animations and he also started streaming on Twitch! You can check out his streams here.
If you're someone aspiring to be a comic creator one day, Mesut has some advice for you! "Don't think about who's going to read your comic. Make them for yourself. Then show them to the people you want to make laugh. Those people will be your test group. And then just post everywhere. Have a schedule. Be consistent and have fun."
