Do you work alone on your webcomic?

[J.Lovelace]

I'm trying out everything to be honest.

There's projects I do all by myself. There's ones I do exclusively with my partner (he's the co-writer and proofreader). And there's a few group projects I am the leader of.
I'm all over the place, trying to see what works best for me XD

[saari]

I draw my comic alone, and I've done most of the writing on my own too. The story is based on mine and my partner's idea, and he is helping me bounce off smaller ideas for the plot ^^

[thomasfallaeriksen]

Yes.
And I'm very over protective about it when I work and don't want any interruptions. When it comes to drawing I prefer to work alone. It's a lot of stubbornness involved in there too. When the comics are published online nobody else than me and my cat have seen two pages or more next to each other.
It probbly isn't the smartest thing to do.

[Zanreo]

Yep, Consolers is all me and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's my own personal passion project : D
I just sometimes discuss stuff and if a specific joke works with friends, that's it.

[shaneoid77]

Yep totally on my own, I've tried to get my family to even try and read my comic but they're not very supportive. I'm off work sick right now and I don't think I'd have got half as much done if I wasn't. Webcomics are a good distraction from all that

[CaptainUfo]

Nope, I have a writer and occasionally someone who helps me with colors.
The writer is a precise choice, I'm not fast anough to keep the weekly page schedule I want, and having a writer really helps me not to give in to my laziness.
The colorist is sometimes a necessity, as I find myself with too little free time to do everything myself.

[Wishjacked]

Another loner here! I do everything myself. I like it that way, to be honest— I have worked with other people before (as a writer/concept artist) but I prefer doing things my way without having to constantly defer to someone else. That said, it would be so helpful to have a beta reader, haha.

When I started Johnny Bullet, after discussing the concept with a friend, I offered him the chance to write the scripts because I didn't feel confident at first. He declined. Another friend was supposed to write a storyline but wanted to put aliens and crap that in it that has nothing to do with a 1970s street racer...

The first script (that had nothing to do with aliens) that he was supposed to send me ever came about. I learned quickly that the only person who could create Johnny Bullet was me. I got over my fear of being a bad writer and jumped in. The strip is now what I would like to call my magnum opus. It's my work through and through.

[punkarsenic]

i work alone! i think when it comes to webcomics, a lot of people work on their own - the work is published for free, so unless it gets really popular it's difficult to afford a creative team, and/or a lot of people do this as a solitary hobby.

youre right though, its a damn lot of work

[insomniascrawl]

I work alone on both of my comics on pretty much every aspect, though a few friends offer critique and I might adjust the story accordingly, but as for the creation and social media, that's all me.. Clearly because I'm insane haha

[novasiri]

Yup! I do my entire comic. Aether Eternius, alone! I am planning a collab comic with a friend though. But that won't come for a bit. Though I plan to start a second comic series on my own in time. Once I get a good buffer rolling for my main.

[LCT_m_a_d]

I work alone. Fortunately, I have only one series currently Vicar ST and update monthly as opposed to weekly. Still, I am constantly working on improving my time management and making lifestyle changes.

[ahhvecadoes]

I've always worked alone on comics, although there is an idea floating around between me and a friend that I'd love to work on with him in the future. It's mostly just I've never met someone who wanted to follow through with the process of making comics with me, so I just do it myself.

[SpavVy]

I mostly work alone yes. The only help I get is for the series two translations which would be Portuguese (Brasil) and French.
Other than that it's just me and I want to keep it that way.

[Valalaraptor]

Absolutely. I'm a complete and utter control freak and would never want to expose anyone to the nightmare that is me with a vision.

[carliv]

I do everything by myself, as well. Course I do listen to accuradio to help keep myself inspired and productive often do yoyo/college work well on break.

Lol I work alone because I discovered early on it is difficult to work with others. There's only been one girl I ever worked with who coloured in my inks. She was awesome. Unfortunately, life set us on separate paths (in different countries) and I have never found anyone else.

[smgorden]

Yup. Working alone. But also... I'm sticking to single-panel newsprint style comics for my first series. Great for skill-building, and a personal sense of progress. And it lets me post often enough to feel good about it.

[SynergyEclipse]

I've always worked on my comic alone. I'd find it too difficult to collaborate with another person on it, and it started as a personal hobby for me.

[Mineu]

I work alone in my two comics, I do from script to designing, sketching, coloring and editing. I wish I had someone helping me but the only people I know work in the digital medium. From time to time, my brother gives me advice on building designing and backgrounds and perspective but that's all the help I get. However, it is also nice to work along as I can work at my own pace and at the time I want. Also I find quite convenient as, an amateur, I need to learn how to handle everything in the comics medium.
