It sounds like your comic takes a lot more work then mine and its nothing to be ashamed of XD. It really comes down to style and mine is pretty simple so I can get a page up every week.
I always forget to time myself even when I try to. :'D And I usually work on multiple pages at the same time now so that makes it even harder too.
But I think it takes me around 10 - 15 hours to complete a page depending on how many panels etc. I know I've gotten faster lately but I have no idea how much... But yeah, I'd really like to be able to trim my production time down to 10 hours which I think can be done even if I do have quite detailed full color comic. It's just a matter of getting more used to drawing it and learning better working methods.
On a good week some time ago when I also didn't have much any other obligations, I was able to draw 3.5 pages and a bunch of thumbnails so I know I can work faster than I usually do. xD
Depending on the page, it varies between 4-6 work days, and that is excluding preproduction. I like to spend about 2 days penciling and that sometimes includes a little reference searching. I typically complete inking in one day and marker rendering takes 2 days. I wish I could go faster but you can't have high quality done too quickly. I'm actually in the process of recording the inking and coloring portion of a page for Whetstone1 right now. But that won't be released for a couple weeks.
Damn guys, I'm jealous. I take about 15 hours on each page of Drugs & Wires - sometimes more if i've got reference to plan and prepare. I think I got a bit faster, but there's only so many corners I can cut without compomising the quality.
My workflow is a bit weird, so I'll try to break it down.
It usually takes me three days to write my script.
It takes me 2 hours to pencil and 2 hours to ink each page - 4 hours.
Color flatting each page on the iPad probably takes me about 3 hours each page.
Then the actual coloring/shading process which I do in batches of 3 pages or 6... and that one can take me about 5 hours by itself, so per page it breaks down to over an hour for coloring on each page...
Then finally, 30 minutes to letter each page.
So ultimately---way too freakin' long!!!!
If I spent time on one page only, I could probably knock it out in a day.
That is to say if I actually had a full 24 hours to myself though...
It depends on the number of panels versus the amount of detail and art I have on a page. If it's strictly black and white art, traditionally I work at 8 hours to a page a day. Digitally, I'm still assessing that.
If you add color into the equation, the main statement still applies- amount of detail versus panels, and effects. If i stick to a certain scheme and process, I can usually cut my coloring time down to about 5 hours(minimum) per page- and that has been since I've gotten adept at using my Wacom tablet; when I was coloring with a mouse it used to take me an entire day. The reason the process has gotten a little longer is that I discovered texture brushes; there's always a conscious battle to use texture/effects and make sure I'm not overdoing it
If you add in lettering, it's not too much. I usually go into lettering, knowing what I want the end process to look like- since I dont have a balloon template library/file(storage file for premade and frequently used word balloons) the process is a little slow. I usually letter a page at the rate of hour or less.
I dont draw/ink a page, color same page, and letter same page. I usually draw/ink most of my pages first, then comeback & color them, then come back again and letter.
i usually take a lot of breaks when I draw. But usually it takes me to 4-8 hours if i really have to i'll stop and then continue the next day.
I agree. MS5/Paint Tool Sai/Medibang Paint has made comic making significantly easier as a whole. I mainly like how I can erase something as many times as I please without ruining the paper I'm drawing on. Not having to erase sketched lines is also a time saver for me. I just have to hide the rough draft layer in MS5 and bam, no blue lines. I also try to shoot for organic dialogue in my comic. I often "act out" conversations my OC's would have in future chapters well in advance and act them out repeatedly until I can remember the gist of what my characters are going to say. (one thing I like about being an aspie myself. Repetition in this case helps a lot). In the past, I would try to type out a script, but then as I got around to drawing the pages I would often either condense or eliminate whole lines of dialogue in favor of keeping LoaA flowing at a brisk pace.
In other words, I don't want to make my readers suffer through too much freakin dialogue ala a Bioware game.
I can't exactly specify since each page has a different level of intricacy. I have some super simple pages that take around an hour, and others with lots of panels everywhere which can take 5+ hours
Depending on how many panels are on each page Star Watcher can take anywhere from 4 to 10 hours to complete one page. It may be a grey-scale comic but I work really hard to make sure none of the colors blend in together so well that they cant be distinguished from each other.
last time i timed myself it took me around 5 hours for a page with 6-7 panels, from sketch to finish. i'm impatient and life is too short. i got other shit to do!!
How anyone gets it done under 5 hours amazes me. I should time myself but I make the scrolling type, not the single panels.
For my random comics series it literally takes me 10-20 minutes to make (you can guess why). As for The Adventures of Bob! It takes a couple hours, maybe around 2-3... This is because I don't exactly have a plan or story board for AoB, I just make up the story as I go along, so it takes some time for me to put down an idea for it 
Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. All through Incubus Tales, I was doing traditional linework, scanning it in, and then doing digital finishes. I decided that when Incubus Tales was coming to an end, it would be the last work I would do that way, and I'm much happier doing purely digital work with Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint. Erasing roughs was always such a pain, plus you could seriously mess up even without really meaning to or doing anything strictly wrong.
Plus, I really like being able to look at my roughs/pencils if I want or need to somewhere down the line. It's nice to have them just a click away! Sometimes it can also help others that I'm helping along their way, to show them my process...and I can't do that if the roughs are gone. So it's overall such a time saver and such a help. I'm so glad for digital solutions!
Pages I am happy with:
Pencils/Inks: 3 hours
Colors: 6 hours
Pages I stopped caring about and just want to be done:
Pencils/Inks: 2 hours
Colors: 3 hours
depends on the page. If the page only focus on characters, usually took about 2-3hours. If there's lots of bg, 5 - 6 hours.
