How many comics do you hope to create?

[OpalSpike]

Just wonderin'.

My goal was always to have a gag-a-day comic, and a high fantasy plot oriented comic. But I also recently began to host a Collaborative Comic, though I wouldn't exactly consider it mine. I'm just the one who sets it up. :3 I'm only making the cover + first page (for now) but otherwise, a new author will make a new page every week, and I think it's pretty sick.

I see some people with one comic that they rarely update, and someone with like.. twenty. I'm not sure how they do that. They're probably a wizard. How many you want to create probably depends on your schedule, if comics are your full time job or just a hobby, etc. How many ideas do you have? How many do you yearn to make but know you'll never get the chance?

[Helera]

I do comic as an hobby so I can work on it when I can, I don't have a prefissed number, I have some ideas in mind that I would like to finish. For example I had to leave a project due to the lack of time, so I prefer to concentrate my free time to the project I most love

[joannekwan]

looks through Word doc of all my ideas. chuckles

Not counting the stories ideas I've scrapped or actually completed in one form or another, I have about 25 that I would like to see fully realized into comics/graphic novels. They're all in various stages of development and of varying lengths. I have short ones I want to do, a meaty graphic novel, a sci-fi trilogy, and then I have my 4 book long fantasy epic with a possible 4 book spin-off. I better finish the ones I have here on Tap first though.

[Kura]

Too many ideas, not enough time to draw them. I don't know the exact count without having to go through my writings and counting them one by one, but it would be a lot.

[shazzbaa]

Like...... who even knows, man.

When I was in college I had one idea called Made Forest that I worked on really seriously -- that was the one I used in my pitch to comics companies, the one I felt was my strongest story. Later I got the idea for Runewriters, which I started doodling to "get it out of my system" and get back to my REAL story.
But the first comic I Finally Actually Started was a journal comic???

I eventually did start Runewriters, but Made Forest has become a story I'm not sure I'll ever actually tell.

Point is, I have Literally No Idea which of my ideas are going to stick and which are going to just float in limbo as a fun thing for me to draw sometimes. I have like three more mostly-formed ideas right now that could all become comics once Runewriters is done, but none of them are comics YET, so that could change at any moment. I could also have any one of a million half-formed ideas in my brain suddenly coalesce into a story idea without warning, and maybe that'll displace all the ideas I think I'm gonna create.

My feelings on it are, as long as I'm creating what I'm meant to create, it doesn't really matter if I finish 20 comics or spend my entire life telling one story! Lord willing, I hope to tell a lot more stories. But who knows!

[eschaefges]

Looks through Excel Spreadsheet of ideas. also chuckles

After A Legend (of some sort) and page 2 of Endless Winter with @Opalspike, I have on my list:

-Two short black and white vignettes (~20 pages)
-A middle ages comedy (~144 pages)
-A crime noir book (~100 pages)
-An action adventure (~100 pages)
-A slice of life drama (~40 pages)
and maybe someday, a sequel to ALOSS - A MURDER (of some sort).

And that doesn't include the short stories, novels and plays I am writing...

[mg78]

ive got 2 more comic ready to go, that i working/planning, but they ll be done in the future after the end of grunk (and grunk should be a loooong series, for the next 10 years, lol)
after that, i would go in some sort of new projects in the comic world, but that could be so far away...

[Aetherwing]

I have three major ideas for stories that I'd like to get to at one point or another, one of which I'm currently posting (Aetherwing.) Problem is, they're all epics so they take a lot of time. (I tend to get carried away.)
I'll begin posting pages from a short (ish) one-shot on Monday from my oldest story and I'm pretty nervous about it.

After those stories though, who knows? I hope I can keep creating for as long as possible and I'm excited for the things I have yet to come up with.

[Wishjacked]

How many do I hope to create, like, before I die? Um, let's just go with "a lot". I'm technically working on three right now, although I'm only drawing two and one of those two is a terrible, terrible excuse of a comic that isn't even really supposed to be good. But I have ideas for an additional five or so that I'd really, reeeeeaaaally like to do some day... and knowing me, I'll be getting plenty of new ideas as time goes by.

[Doubtcent]

A buhzillian.
But seriously, I'm never gonna stop making them until I can no longer hold a pen in my hand.

[rainbowolfe]

stares wistfully off into the distance (╥﹏╥)
so many

But seriously, I've gotten more than a little out of control with the ideas. There's just. so many. So far, I've only got one on here and another coming up soon. Then there's like, two more coming within the next few months that I just couldn't let go. As well as one really big one I want to start posting next year.

And of course, there's like 20 in the works that are just snippets, ideas, partially written, or temporarily discontinued. XD

[GFalconDX]

Well, my comic is going to be a series, so I'm hoping I can complete it. But I'm hoping I can create a lot of comic series in the foreseeable future.

[gateofselidor]

I have three short stories ready or nearly ready to draw, along with an additional three longer ideas that are definitely going to be comics. I also have countless ideas early in development. Some of them will end up as comic ideas, some as novels, and others will be discarded.

For me, it's not a question of how many I hope to create, it's how many am I physically capable of creating in my life. The only way to find out the answer to that is to just keep on making them.

[colinwmd]

I hope to make lots and lots. I've accumulated a large number of ideas since I started writing them down and I have a list of around 40 potential one off gag comics waiting to be drawn. Four or five of these are multiple pages.

Besides that I have four long form stories I want to tell. The first I intend to start posting early next year (hopefully) and will be around 50 pages of detective noir film parody.

I have the beginnings of an idea for the sequel to it too, and also a couple of scifi ideas that need a lot of work before I start drawing them.

I imagine I'll have a lot more ideas though long before I finish all these. I used to be worried that I'd run out of ideas but that doesn't look like being a problem.

So I think my answer is "as many as I possibly can"

[heterodont]

I've got 3 'major' stories as in they need a LOT of time for me to develop fully (my current webcomic is one of them - thankfully i've already got the entire story draft written out to what i want, so all that's missing is for me to draw it out entirely!) I'd totally do small one-shot backstory comics for a variety of my characters, aside from those.

Ive also got another story thats barely in its beginning stages of which character i want the story to revolve around and a basic plot written out - so it's in its infancy.

I've also already got a sequel planned out for my current webcomic and its development right now is kinda?? who knows. ive got basic plot elements and the primary antagonists + protagonists but since the story is meant to involve two separate story arches, I have to figure out how to make them blend smoothly and in a way that makes sense

Then I also have ANOTHER comic idea planned as a collaboration with a friend of mine, but thats in the tentative future once I'm done with college + if I have enough free time after.

Frankly, what's stopping me from starting another series while I work on my current one is just the fact I have NO other story completed. Can't miss out on that foreshadowing - ya know.

[TAMAnnoying]

I have about six comic ideas. two of them are currently being worked on at a ongoing rate. one of them is straggling behind, and the other three are still in script form

:v so not sure if we'll ever get to see the rest of them

maybe one day

[Dorian_Grey]

I would say...two.
And by two; I mean two fully fledged stories I can really work on and be satisfied with. That I can fully realize as substance or some sort of plot that can hold water. ^^;
I hope to reinvent the second comic idea a bit, which would be more a either a modern day or 1950's lgbt romance.
I would make it a tap exclusive. But for now with my work schedule, I just have the one comic. But one can dream if time allotted! ><

[XanderYoung]

Let's see, I have a now-defunct Urban Fantasy comic, a hibernating Autobio comic, an updating Urban Fantasy comic, and a planned Gag-A-Day comic. So... two at a time.

[Thesleepypencil]

oh god that is crazy long and i can actually have a list of them.
I have the two i'm working on now. One about aliens, and one about magic and fairytales.
I have 4 other fairytale based stories set in one universe which is m y dream series that are pretty much my magnum opis of life.
I have 1 magical girl story.
i have one supernatural zombies and ghosts type series.
after these ones which are my most important I have multiple different stories i'd want to go back too or even check out my older work. BUT all my stories are so freaking big because i don't know how to make small things aparently so these will take over my life.

[voshxdaemon]

Well, just getting Idle Vampire off the ground would be incredible...

But I also have two or three ideas for some major series as well, and if I ever got to be a full time comic artist, I'd love the chance to pursue them.
