Comic Goals For 2020

DualDragons 2019-12-26 22:23:22 UTC #11

Well, i want to finish chapter 4 and 5 of my current comic/manga and do at least a good portion of chapter 6.
As for other goals i plan to work out my future project by writing the script, worldbuilding and characters and doing reference sheets/concept art which i'm actually doing as we speak

As long as I keep doing my comic more or less on schedule I'll be content enough. During the beginning of the year I'll be ending chapter 2 (and I can't wait to get there ªªªª), and I should be able to get at least chapter 3 done during the year as well c:

I plan on rebooting one of my comic. Not sure if I can even do that since I'm busy bit I'll try.

More like relatable since i'm still trying to figure out how to bring more people to my patreon as well and thanks we both just need to keep doing our best then something good will happen at some point
I have 7 comics so i'll just send links to three of the ones i like working on the most XD

I actually rebooted my comics a few times before i was satisfied XD and i regret it a little because after the first time i should have waited till i was completely satisfied with my work before i posted again because i started to confuse some of my readers. So i made sure this time i took all the time i could to correct everything so i wouldn't have to redo everything again

My goal is to start having more fun creating my comic without worrying if it's good enough or not
I'm still planning out a few things for the series. Like advertising! And saving up more money to advertise
just until I have enough content! As of now my series is on Tapas & Webtoons! With 2 episodes up today!

If you're interested in wacky looking characters. And enjoy Comedy/ Superhero & Action then check out my series!

oh jeez haha well I will definitely give them a look

My goal for next year is to reach chapter 5, which will get me about halfway through the first arc! If I can stick to 2 pages a week for the rest of next year, I should at least start chapter 5 by the end of the year.
If possible, I'd also like to have a working script for the second arc.

I'm also hoping to do some more bonus content like holiday pictures and other fun little illustrations to break some of the monotony of just exclusively producing comic pages. It's not directly related to my comic, but I'm hoping to improve my watercoloring a lot more over the next year!

I want to:

-Introduce all the characters finally!
-Stop losing the subs I win and reach 400.
-Be on Webtoons with a brand new first chapter.

But my number one goal is that everyone has fun with me and my comic and it becomes a nice place to forget about your problems.

meet all my deadlines and don't go on hiatus . . .

Jophiel 2019-12-27 01:01:11 UTC #21

Actually start my comic ^^"""

I have two ideas in mind (of different genres) but the three characters shown there are just alt timeline versions of the other one. If I went with the lighter one, my goal would be to get courage in having it beta read first ;v;

Publish one page per week. It's difficult as my year is divided between 10 months without drawing and two months drawing 5+ hours per day, because my job is highly seasonial.
But this year I managed to be 12 pages ahead, and I'm starting now my 2 free months, so it's doable. I have to draw one page a day, though. That's a lot of drawing for me. But I want to make it.

I’d like to release at LEAST three books this year. I say at least because I already have two books worth of material (for a 145 page graphic novel and another 200-something page book which should be the first in a series of three). I have one book I have a soft deadline for a sequel to another book from 2017 that I wanna get 245 pages done this year and have and printed before 2020 is over.

Somewhat related to the comic since it’s based on the comic, but I also hope the show sells. Less a goal and more of a ~hope~ for 2020 since it’s a little bit out of my control.

I also have been looking into starting a small clothing brand based off of some of the clothing I draw in my comics and getting help from friends who do similar things.

My goal is to reboot my gag comics in 2020, and hopefully publish other series as well, but... I'm here again procrastinating strolling around the forum ... I should finish my buffer ASAP

I have a bunch of kind of small goals for my comic(s). Right now I only have one comic, Whispers of the Past, but I plan on starting another, just because my brain has been screaming at me to work on another comic for YEARS.

GOALS FOR 2020:

Reach 20k subscribers on Webtoon. Right now, I have 4k, which I acquired in only 3 months, so I think it's definitely possible. (I would have a sub goal on Tapas but growth has been so unbelievably slow, that I don't even want to set myself up for disappointment.)
Get to at least 100 pages of Whispers of the Past. (I am currently at 25.)
Make more than $50 a month on Patreon. (Not a lot, but a start.)
Begin another planned comic project, Silent Nocturne.
Attend at least 5 conventions.

I tried to pick only achievable goals, and very specific ones, so that I don't get disappointed when I don't succeed.

My comic goals for 2020:

1) Get my arms healthy again so that I can start back working on my comic again. I really want to keep my arms healthy this year; I may have to shell out some $$$ towards massage therapy for maintenance- as well as try to adapt a moderate(not heavy) drawing schedule. I do however, want to finish Ch 3 of my webcomic before summer so that I can print & sell it at some cons(especially if I can get accepted to MomoCon and DC BlerdCon).

2) I wanna get my website put together this year. I'm tired of going to shows or trying to promote my comics/art stuffs online and I dont have a main site.

3) On the subject of schedule- I wanna devise one so that I can work on comics, and standalone art pieces. I wanna create a "Patreon only" comic project, but I feel like I've got no time between my RL job, the webcomic, and working on standalone projects like prints, sticker designs, and stuff to post on Patreon. I know this year I'll be barely producing art for prints, but I do want to make at least 2 designs for stickers(one of which I want to be a prism/holofoil type sticker).

4) Get MORE patrons on my Patreon. I need this thing to start growing...

5) Sell off most of my individual issue comics- looking to transition to mainly selling trade publications...

I've been losing a sub for everyone I gain for the last few months so you are not alone in this sad boat

And let me know when you sign up for webtoons!

rmdooley 2019-12-27 05:27:37 UTC #28

If you need a beta reader, let me know!

My biggest goal this year is literally just to release my comic. I've been way too shy to commit. I sit at home quietly with my cat and carefully draw out each panel, page, scene, character. But I'm always too shy to post, too self-conscious. Slowly by posting doodles here on the forums and getting positive responses I started working up more and more courage. I'm not as embarrassed by my art anymore. I think I can do this. I really think I can post my comic

nathanKmcwilliams 2019-12-27 06:15:27 UTC #30

I'd like to up my chapter release schedule from bi-monthly to weekly. That's the only goal I'll set, last year I shot a little too high. This, I think I can manage as long as I get my buffer established.
