Storyline: Chapter 1 Page 27
August 28th, 2012I’ve recently been going to to the Seattle Indie Comic and Game Artist‘s meetups to try and meet some other comic people, and wow, what a good idea that was. If you’re a cartoonist/comicker, it’s really great to meet like-minded people, get advice, network a bit, and have the opportunity to exercise your cartooning skills and even accidentally make some really awesome collaborative work. I’m really bummed I’m leaving Seattle in a few weeks to go back to school — I’ll have to find (or start?) a similar group near campus!
I’ve also been reading How to Draw Webcomics. It’s a pretty thin book, very practical, covering everything from making your website to the business of selling merchandise. I haven’t finished it yet, but the practical-ness of it makes me really think webcomicking is possible… until I read the following line:
“Once your readership is up in the tens of thousands and you’re ready to take the financial plunge of selling your own merchendise…”
WAT. I think I’d die of happiness right there. My readership will probably kill me before I get to create a store.
Lol, I’m sure you can get there. Your art is very good! ;3 I’ve been reading your stuff for awhile. I’m trying to get a comic of my own going… It’s rather difficult work. It’s amazing how you’ve gotten this far. Good luck!~
Haha, thanks so much for the kind words! Good luck to you as well 🙂 You should post a link to your comic! I’d love to see it!
Aww, you’re welcome! I haven’t actually gotten the website to cooperate yet, but I’m working on it! ;D I’m going to make a tumblr for some concept art while I fix everything. It could take some time, but I’m confident that I can get everything in order soon enough. I’d be glad to give you the link once it gets moving!
