Hey /ic/, I'm currently working on a webcomic with some friends. While we've been working on it for about six months, we're still in the early stages and have accepted that it may take well over a decade to finish the whole story. Nothing has been posted publically as we want to have at least a few chapters finished before doing so.

That being said, some advice would go a long way while we try to work all this out. The first chapter has been sketched out, the process for that was basically a few panels were drawn traditionally per day, all the same size, and now that all the panels have been drawn we're now working to organize them onto comic page layouts digitally with panel sizes adjusted and then line/color it. Since we're still trying to figure out our "flow" this probably isn't the most efficient way, so if anyone can offer tips on how to impove the workflow I would appreciate that. Other advice regarding scripting/paneling/composition is also appreciated. It's easy to overthink everything but I also don't want to half-ass it.

Webcomics are pointless to pursue for the express purpose of attaining an audience. Nobody reads them.
Kill all webfags now
Kill yourself first

>nobody reads them
The idea of too many annoying people looking at it scares me, so thank god. Not doing this for fame or money, just for fun and to also hopefully improve along the way. I know damn well webcomics don't make people famous or rich.

I could write a book on how to improve comic workflow. but its a waste of my time which is better spend on the comic. (hint hint)

NGMI the post

A decade for an entire story. Reminds me a bit of the autists that create extremely detailed stories and lore for their characters and world but barely do any drawing if any to actually bring it to life

I suppose it would be the collaborative things that are the slowest.
Do all the written stuff on Notion,
And do the sketches in a program similar to drawpile,
and then do draws to decide who does what panel and then they can do that in the program of their choice.

Frankly though, I think you should shrink the scope of the project. Ten years? Do you seriously think you guys will last that long? You should have gone for a short comic to test out your work methods first.
I would have said a year long, or two year long project is ballsy.

10 years is a pretty normal timeframe, but only for artists who have the ability to draw round the clock, but in webcomic time that frame is 20 years to indefinite hiatus. That's what happens when comics have to work around jobs, instead of it being the job.

A page a day is the goal. Whatever day you guys have set aside in your schedule to work on it, if you dont have the layout of your page done by the day, it was wasted. If you are in the thumbnailing stages, get two/three done per day. When you are inking(or final line art or however you do this shit digitally) it should be two per day, however that can vary depending on the complexity of the piece.
Also unless you are doing a 4koma where the panels are all gonna just be the same square layout the way you are drawing this comic seems retarded. Drawing panels individually? Organizing them afterwards onto a page. That is fucking retarded. If you are working on one page work on the whole fucking page. Think of the page as a fucking whole, trying to scrapbook it or some shit after the fact sounds like you are making more trouble for yourself and not thinking ahead.

>a whole decade
I dont care what kind of wagie cagie job you and your friends have to deal with, you fags better find a way to wrap that shit up in a a couple of years. Even the most autistic webcomic creators that have the most contrived and convoluted lore can wrap their shit up in a couple of years

I have no idea how long this comic is gonna be but you BETTER find a way to get to a conclusion by the 300 page mark.
Also fuck you for not even attempting to post work
>bu-buh its not ready for relea-
Fuck off faggot. Neither is my shit but I can at least show shit like thumbnails like pic related. Fuck you.

After I've read your post I'm pretty sure you will never finish nor publish anything in your whole life.
