I just launched my comic Creatures Of Habit just over 2 weeks ago, but spent many months prepping and script writing. Unfortunately for me it was also the first time I ever really started to draw in my life, so my drawing is very piss poor. Working very hard to improve it though, slowly noticing slight improvements. But the prep work & research for the project was a lot of fun, though for me it consumed my life since I have a real passion for telling the story I want to tell. The more work that can be done before launch, the better off you are from my (limited) experience.
sorry for the double post, had connection issues.
