Hey all! Posted this on CF and figured I should ask here as well:
So my progress with this comic is unbearably slow. There are a million scenes and characters that I'm dying to get to; but at this slow of a pace it just feels like they'll never happen. And the fact that I seem to get really bad burn outs after every finished page posted isn't making things easier either. :/
So this is something I've been debating in the back of my mind for quite a while now-
But I'm considering doing something like releasing temporary sketch pages on a weekly schedule and then slowly replacing those with their completed versions as I finish them. This way I can progress with the story much faster, while at the same time completing each page at a pace that I can manage that won't cause such painfully long burnouts.
An example of my sketches: LINK 1
LINK 2
But of course, they'll be much more presentable than the examples given! XD
So in your honest opinion, would this be something you'd be okay with? Or do you prefer I just stick with posting the finished pages?
Not saying this'll definitely happen of course, I just want opinions is all! :) This has been something I've been on the fence about for a long while now. It's so agonizing how slow I am because there is so much I want to get to! Starting to get desperate at this point. lol I don't think my perfectionism will let me do this tbh, but it's something I'm starting to heavily consider. :/
Thank you for your time! <3
Any opinions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
:D

Post the rough sketches as a webcomic and publish the completed, finished pages as a print book if you ever decide to go that route.

Sounds like a plan

I suppose it could be interesting to see the WIP of each page before you finalize them.

I hope it'll be! ^^

Why not? The sketches look great. Anything that works for you will work with me.

Aww! Thank you!! ^^

In your situation l'd create two comics: One frequently populated WIP comic with an interactive character (through the comments), and one with the finished pages. This has the advantage for readers of the completed version that they don't have to dig through a thicket of material to get to the next page.

That's a good idea! I'll definitely consider that! Thank you! ^^

Get your ideas down. Then flesh them is a great idea and if you are comfy sharing the roughs that's fine with me. Your stuff is so good and I can certainly understand how a page could burn you out. Whatever you do I'll be in your corner rooting for you. But don't go away completely.

Aww! Thank you so, so much! That really means a lot to me! ^^
