Question for you guys
8 years ago
Comics take a decent amount of time to get out, and the amount of work going into them can burn me out on the whole sequence (i now see why fully shaded ones are so rare). So I'm considering options for future installments.
I have lots of ideas for drawings, but leaving a comic unfinished or interrupted for other content too long feels wrong to the audience.
Here's the question part. For future comics would you guys prefer to see more pages come more frequently, but at a lesser quality (cleaned up sketches with simple colors), or fully shaded comics that come out at the snails pace they currently are?
- The pros of the first option would be (hopefully) faster production with less burnout, and I'd be able to move on to creating new ideas quicker. Saving full renders for single pictures.
- The pros of the second would be better quality comics.
In fact this isn't really a question of which option you'd prefer. Its more of "Future comic pages are going to be sketchy again because I can't handle doing full rendered comic pages at a consistent rate. That okay?"
I probably should've just led with that.
...
Pitstop 4 is on its way. The rest of that particular series is going to be in full color.

Last thing we want is for you to burn out bud.

He has done both sides of the comic spectrum: less quality for more pages, and more quality for less pages.
What it really boils down to, is how much time you really have compared to your job, school, etc.
If you have a busy lifestyle, go with less quality for more pages.
If you feel your not to busy in life and actually have time to spare, go with more quality and less pages.
In all honestly you should make the final decision, because it effects your personal time.
So weather people say they want one thing or another, you should ultimately say what you do in the end so it doesn't make your time to tangled in a mess.
