If you were given unlimited budget to use for your comic (only)

[morganicfoods]

I'd hire a marketing team. Having to promote my comic myself sucks.

[EncryptedWriting]

Hire a team to do it for me lol. I'd obviously help but unlimited means I have money to spend.

[VibrantFox]

finding a way to invest in marketing would definitely be nice but honestly i think time more than anything is what i need along with stuff to improve my current setup like a bluetooth hookup for my drawing tablet than the current cord i'm working with (already in it's duct tape to hold the inner wires steady era) as well as like resources or classes or something to learn 3d sculpting in programs like blender or something. i'd also probably expand like i've dreamed of into music production and animation so software and spaces to learn how to do all that would be a part of the budget as well

but i think i say time coz i'd probably work more on my comic if ididn't have to worry about funds for bills and other necessities so i'm spending a lot more hours at my day job than doing creative anything, which maybe young folks dont have that worry, but if that unlimited money can go to those kinds of expenses then maybe i'd be interested otherwise i'll just stick to what i've been doing

[igneriss]

Definitely hire a team It would be nice to have assistants to draw panels' frames, maybe draw some simple-but-timeconsuming stuff (looking at my MC's feathered coat...), scanning & editing scans, and maybe a marketing team?
And as the budget is unlimited, let's make the team big and make some animations! Or even an animated serie! And also a game, maybe the players would make better choices than my MC hahah cx

[Kuma]

I would hire Daniel Warren Johnson as an artist and write like a madman.

[AmysGames]

Depending on what you mean by "for your comic only," I'd like to turn it into an animated series like was the original plan, haha. Otherwise, I guess I'd hire some artists?

[Shanny8]

DEFINITELY marketing & distribution...and an editor to make sure my story is being told in the best fashion possible.

Production wise, I'd hire a colorist- while also hire someone to teach me to color the way I want; I'd let the colorist color the book, while I just color cover art and my own projects(like prints and digital pieces).

[voskhodart]

Probably hire a social media manager. I can’t stand social media, but I know it would be good for growing my reach.

Also get a better drawing tablet. Mine is held together with duct tape and some questionable soldering, lol.

I would also love to get a P.O. Box so I could send out stickers or prints. That would be really fun.

[Chocolate]

No it’s for your comic only lmaoooooo no animations. 🤣

[KennethLopezJr921]

The first thing I would do would be to hire assistants, like assistant inkers, background artists, etc. Then I would try to start my own company to make an animated series out of my comic, but that would be later down the line because I would mainly use it get help making my series cuz I’m doing this all by myself and I’m struggling quit a bit with being consistent while also keeping my art quality high

[Vikthetoonaddict]

OOOOOHHH. I'd buy one of those realistic articulated mannequins to help drawing. Also, I'd make merch. I've always wanted to get into plushies and action figures.

But, mainly, I'd spend it on the best comic software, and tablets to match.

[kyupol]

Ok then just gonna hire a bunch of artists that can do a better leveled up version of my style so updates get cranked out faster and get more subscribers since art skills are a factor lol

[XiuLyn_12]

I'd buy paid 3D backgrounds and poses! (for CSP)
Currently, I have 0 budget to do so. I can only rely on free 3Ds.

I would probably try to advertise my work more. (Though I'm not sure how to do it with money)

[Mallory]

I mean... I'd pay myself a living wage so I can focus on making the comic full-time?

I'd buy the best equipment there was (20+ inch Cintiq Pro + beefier computer), and I'd hire someone to flat my comic and pay them an actual non-exploitative wage. Then when I had enough pages, I'd print and store the books + doo-dads and fly out to various small and medium-sized comic conventions to table at. I might also hire someone to do my instagram account for me because hell if I can be assed to manage it. >.<

Buy a stylus pen defenitely

• Hire a marketing team

• A more powerful computer set. I haven't dove into learning 3d, but I imagine it may take a toll on my PC. Plus large files eat up a ton of storage

• Hire assistants: Especially if said budget can't be used in a way that lets me quit my job. They'd definitely come in handy for artist alley booths at cons

• Maybe an office: I live in a full house so it'd be great to have a dedicated work space where I can focus and have room for my improved computer set up

[2DLenzy]

• Pay a bunch of viewers/followers to send me fanart
• Pay randos/homeless people to dress in white robes, shave head, wear hoops and beaks and preach the ways of Halaka, and scream KA-ROO at passer-bys
• Pay a printing company to print out hard-cover versions of my comic, and hire pilots to airdrop them into random places. And yes, they're dropping hard-covered books, cause they make a lasting impact.
• Comission a church to install stain-glassed windows of my OCs.
• Form an actual cult, stockpile corn, bribe farmers
• Get filmed on national news proclaiming Friar as an idol and drink koolaid.
• Lay down and have a dump truck dump all the unlimited budget in quarters and slowly crush me to death before the cops show up and be laughing in Purgatory cause none of that is gonna happen XD

Well, since its my comic... then that means art and story will be mine too, so maybe that budget will be used to pay food, my gym subscription, roof and services... Maybe pay for a few assets buts that's it

I already got the tablet, the paper, drawing program... Not much to invest in something mine to be honest

[MarvinDziamski]

If it includes paying for advertisment i would pay Tv, newspapers and many other medias to promote my stuff.
And i can afford better hardware and software and i could afford more learning materials.
