Do you work alone on your webcomic?

[pammella]

I work alone, but sometimes I miss a small group to discuss

[69Michi]

Yep, all by myselfff. It can get really tiring and sometimes I have to force time out of my schedule to keep the comic up to date. Mostly because I'm a full time student, plus I work part time job :/ my friends do offer to help with artwork but I have a weird thing that I only want to work on thing by myself, following my own schedule and in the end can proudly said YES I have done all of this on my own!

[WhatAHero]

Yeh I draw and write for both of my comics.
I'd appreciate any help writing and maybe flat coloring but I don't really have many friends that are willing to do that.

One day I hope to achieve the "Bakuman Duo" dream where I'm the artist and a friend of mine is the writer.

[rmdooley]

Yes, I work alone on Legio Arcana

You are absolutely right, it is tiring, time consuming, but if this is something you are passionate about keep at it and best of luck!

[anitacomics]

I work alone as well as many others. I've had my fair share of commissioned stories where I was the artist and someone else was writing. It was fun, but I kinda had enough of following small revisions and changes. Also, this story is so personal I cannot give it to anyone else

[TristanJensen]

I work with the voices in my head if that counts...

[serenitysquirrel]

All solo. Is why it moves so slow.

[Sephonica]

I work alone. Originally, it didn't start that way. I was the one who pitched the idea and the person who helped me actually wrote chapters. I'm not a person who hates working with others but I have had people pitch ideas and wanted me to write and draw it. ;^; Though, having someone to discuss/draw/write comics with would be nice.

[endlessuprising]

Yeah, I also work alone. Been running my comic weekly since March 1st 2014, and I kinda think working alone has been the key to remaining consistent with work and uploads.. The more people, the more chance someone might let you down, and to me I can't bare that thought lol.
It's interesting to read here of so many others working on their own too. Many of whom I know an loves.

[endlessuprising]

I hear ya on that- gotta love answering to no-one!

[youngaustin]

No, I'm not skilled enough. My cousin does the artwork for me.

[Triple_Horatio]

I would work alone because I have issues and I can't handle not having full creative control. Having a co-writer would help since writing isn't my strongest department but I'd be too picky and selfish. Just being fully honest.

[dojo]

I work 100% alone. I used to have a group I'd at least share the pages with beforehand back when I'd just post pages on my personal website, but I'm not part of that group anymore, so no one even sees the pages until they're public now. An editor would be nice, but I'm pretty content keeping everything else my own. If I ever make enough money from my day job I might hire someone to edit, but who knows.

I do love doing collaborations, though. It'd just have to be a pretty short comic for me to be able to do it and to deliver to the end.

[tomatobird]

Ahaha I do all the drawing/writing/research myself! I wouldn't mind collaborating in the future, especially collaborating with a writer, but for now i'd really rather work on the projects that I'm personally invested in. I do have a couple of people who I discuss plot/writing/characterization stuff with just to see what works out or not. It really helps just to have people you can trust with your spoilers!

[masoneasley]

I'm solo. Do all the chores myself in order to get my book done.

I really wouldn't have it any other way, but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't get a bit lonely sometimes.

[KrispyKremeBits]

Yup, I do everything by myself from script to pages. I do ask for help from time to time from a friend of mine for lettering and how she feels about some characters but that's about it.

[antwyonsimpson]

Im solo on my project Pitch Black. Takes time which i kinda dont have at the moment but i love to do at the same time

[jdmakescomics]

Hello! First post! Anyway. I had letterers/colorists/writers on some of the published stuff I did -- it was nice, but I realize I'm at my happiest when I'm doing everything. A lot of what I like about comics is pacing, and that's hard to control unless you're doing every job. I like having full control to screw up or succeed on my own merits.

[Vanadis]

deep breath ALL BY MYSEEEEELF
Yep, one woman show here, although my lovely husband does do the pencils on occasion, which is a huge help!
Inks and pencils are the hardest step for me...the rest isn't too bad. Writing is the fastest!
I like working alone, tbh. I've worked in professional teams and even with some of the best, most talented people, I've felt some level of frustration at the end product not being how I would like it to be in some way. I guess I'm bad at compromising on the personal vision side haha >.< So I went full control freak on RetroBlade XD

[RueCalintz]

I work alone, but I acknowledge the need for a copy editor and colorist. I think everyone who works alone needs at least a copy editor.

I was working with someone on another comic project to draw for them, but people are unreliable when it comes to these things, and if they fail to deliver on their end you're stuck with a bunch of unused stuff that you can't do much with since it was created for that thing.
