RickColbert:It really boils down to as to why you are creating your work. Webcomics, as a rule, are really for hobbyist. Most of us will never make a penny from what we do on the web, and most of us, are ok with that.

If you are looking to turn your art into a source of income, printing is presumably the ideal way to go. If you are printing your comic to make a buck, be ready to spend some money, invest a TON of time trying to sling your work and hope to find a following.


I do PC as a web comic for the reason that it was a challange to do it in the style I do it in. And I do it for fun.
However, a comic I had here a while ago (Under An Alien Star) was always intended to be in print. Back in the day it would cost a small fotune to have a printer do up a thousand copies with no guarentee of making a sale.
Now with print on demand I have UAAS (now titled Alien Sky Tales), in print as of this month.
The down side is making money, but it takes time to gain an audience. The upside is it costs me very little.
Putting a comic on the web is also a good way to build an audience and get an idea of weather your comic has potential to get readers.

Sometimes. Because I can be my own worst critic. But I still do it.

Any art I have goes at the end of the chapter. That way it doesn't interupt the chapter.

I did it. I couldn't stand looking at the first few chapters so I dumped the whole thing and started over.
The downside is you will lose fans altho you can get new ones.
How many pages are you going to redo?

Try the rectangle select tool and cut the image you want and repaste it.

Sounds to me like comic creating is not for you. But you should find something that interests you.

lsilberman:Suddenly all the posts here are starting with "Well that's nice but let me tell you about MY comic"... Is anyone else seeing the glitch? Restarted my browser but it may just be a cookies issue if no one else is getting it.


Look at todays date. :D

All I can say is it's your comic and you can do whatever you please with it. If that means no guns then no guns.
If you want to put 'em in, do it. Drawings of guns don't bother most people anyway.

Yes and no. I have the beggining and the end. It's all that stuff in between.
I'm good up to 12 chapters at the moment. There are other ideas I want to do. But there are some I don't know for sure that they will work.
Sometimes something will take longer to put out than it was to think up.

Mr. Capps:
ZeroGee:If they want to drive me out of here, oh well. They win their hollow victory.


You know this post is probably just proving to you, your points and shit but jesus christ... No body wants to drive you away from the forums. So please stop acting like the OP are burning your farmland, sacking your villages, and sticking your heads on pikes. Because frankly this is the type of stupidity he is complaining about. I am sorry if this offends you, but it really is kinda stupid.

Yeah, he was a bit over dramatic. But this is like 10 times as dramatic as he was. You guys are not helping your case by acting like a bunch of civil rights activists, you are soiling it.

I probably don't have the best tone set with this post. I am being a bit of a dick, and I am aware of that. But I like being a dick, its fun. And the truth is I rather be on a forum where people are dicks to each other occasionally than a forum where its all sunshine and rainbows like what you guys want.

Don't take things too personally, its the damn internet. Grow a thicker hide and stop playing the victim.

Please?


You know what? FUCK YOU. OK FUCK YOU and Kyo. You want to be assholes... be my fucking guest. It's your board you can be total cunts to people if you want. That's not what I'm here for.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE
I'M OUTTA HERE.

GigaNerd17:Nearly all of you guys seem to be regulars here, so if you don't mind, I'd like to provide a newcomer's perspective:

I came to ComicFury because of a horrible incident at my previous forums. I liked what I saw in the webcomic critique thread and had a friend's personal recommendation, so I jumped right in.

Concerning the offending threads, I didn't see an issue. With "Characters as Reflections," it was interesting to see which traits, fears, and beliefs each individual was reflecting and how they were different from everyone else's. Sure, little room for discussion, but it was fascinating. I also thought the "Have You Ever" thread was a survey of sorts to gauge CF's tendencies.

When I saw this thread, I was honestly horrified.

I can't tell if Fubar is a mod or not, but this makes me feel very uncomfortable either way. If someone posted something like this in any of the other forums I've been a part of (about 7 total), moderator or not, it'd likely get locked up right away. But here I watch the Spanish Inquisition get away with attempting to purge CF of its impurities, and the fact that no one has blatantly decried this yet honestly unsettles me. This is the Internet, an omnipresent refuge for those wishing to escape from the trials and tribulations of daily life. I don't understand how Fubar has the right to blindly bash typical inoffensive online behavior, let alone bash everyone for something only a few users are doing. It's nonconstructive and rude.

So forgive me if I've said anything to upset anyone, but y'all are really scaring me with your tolerance of this display. I'm not sure if this is really where I want to stay.


I know what you mean. But there are a lot of good members here who make a lot of good comics.
However, when the board owner and his freind gang up on a member who's been here a few years, well, your last sentence gives me the same thought. I don't feel welcome on this board or these forums if I have to walk on eggshells.
If they want to drive me out of here, oh well. They win their hollow victory.
I have my stuff hosted at other host sites so one less is no skin off my butt.

ZeroGee:I don't think you're going to find deep meaningful discussion on a board devoted to webcomics.


Maybe you have a different definition of 'deep and meaningful' than I do, but there are a lot of really great threads on here. Some about webcomics, some about other topics. Yes, there are plenty of just silly/fun/less meaningful threads, but there are some great discussions on here.


I know. I read them too. Up untill now at least.

Kyo:Yeah but if your two cents add nothign to the conversation other than that you don't like people complaining about stuff maybe they are better left unspoken.


Yet I was not the only one and yet you're targeting me?
Again, this is a self imposed limit. What inherent quality of webcomic forums makes meaningful discussion impossible? (That's a rhetorical question, please don't write 3 separate posts answering it)

Tongue in cheek, tongue in cheek.

Not if everyone has that attitude towards it


Let me rephrase that. You're not going to find that many, or a great number of them. That's not saying their are none at all.
My earlyer comment was more tongue in cheek than anything, so excuse me for seeming rude.

ZeroGee:It does. Life's too short to bitch and moan about threads one doesn't like. That's the problem when you live in a world where you have many choices and options. You have to take the good with the bad.
Me... I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.


ok

well then maybe life should be too short to bitch and moan about people bitching and moaning as well. I don't like this attitude at all, this "no one is allowed to complain about things" attitude. You don't have to agree with fubar or capps, but if you can't find a better fault with their posts than "they're complaining about stuff" then maybe you should think about whether your post adds anything to the discussion or not.


Don't get me wrong. I harbor no ill will toward them or their opinions. Just adding my two cents.;)

Then pick and choose what threads you want to participate in and ignore the ones you don't. That's what I do.
