>>91400139hmmm... I mean, what you're saying makes sense. Everyone else I've spoken about it recommends the third option.
Also five months down the line I pretty much have to go back to working a day job so I have to think ahead a bit. Maybe I can crank out the horror anthology comic while also drawing a high quality buffer for that third comic for when I've got to have downtime. I think once I've proven I can start and finish short comics, and then release a full first chapter of a more ongoing but still more or less episodic comic, maybe it'd be a good time to start a patreon?
I know people have said that one thing webcomic authors fuck up with is begging for money too early on, but I dont have a lot of wiggling room to wait before I just wont have time to make art because of a dayjob.
Best case scenario is in that timeframe I could build up a portfolio to either pitch to some publishing companies or even get a job at a local animation studio, since I'm also collaborating on some animations.
Impressions are everything, though, so I'm not sure if making some super grungy grindhouse thing when looking for a job would be the right call.
The other thing is I kind of had the idea of making it, like another anon suggested, a more multimedia web based project, so as to amplify the horror. I was thinking I could basically go and teach myself some coding to put something complete together by halloween.
They say its better to focus on one thing than go nuts and spread yourself thin, but when you have the time for it, its hard not to get tempted into doing that.
