Revisiting this, I can actually give a rough approximation for my new series now! At the time of writing the first reply here, the D&D campaign that the comic is based off of was still going so I legitimately didn't know how much farther the timeline would go. The following month, however, the campaign ended so I have a good idea now.

From Adventure start to Adventure end, the campaign lasted somewhere around 1-2 months give or take. It's a little shaky because our DM had us fast traveling long distances at times, so I'm just estimating how long that travel would have taken by car to extrapolate that time. The campaign itself was 18 sessions with each session containing at least 1 day, but sometimes more. And then several of those fast travel segments were intertwined... and there was also a period where we kinda skipped a week so... yeah, somewhere around 5-6 weeks probably!

Around 3 years for the part I already wrote; possibly 5 years total.
But the events told are actually happening over about 40-45 years; there are full chapters of flashback to the previous generation.

The main story takes place in the span of almost a year but there are some flashbacks from 200+ years before

For story reasons, I don't think I should say the exact length, but all I will say is that it takes place over quite a short period of time!

I'd say Splitting Image happens over the course of 2-3 months, most of it offscreen though. The main events are two weeks just about, but there's a lot of downtime between the characters training, waiting for the next incident, etc.

Hmm... I hadn’t really thought about this, but from what I have planned my comic’s total story will take place over the course of five or six months.

The Turbulent March takes place over about three days. Not counting Rhunal's first day and the days she spent imprisoned.

Acolyte of the Tempest, the second Arc takes place over about three weeks.

The sequel novel, The Scouring of Refuge, takes place over a two week period. It encompasses the beginning and end of a lightning fast private war.

CELESTIALS canonically takes place about over a year. The 1st season takes place in 2-3 weeks (wildest 2-3 weeks ever lol).

Comic time is weird.

Damn, this is an old thread :o

So, for my project - the first saga specifically, since that's the one I'm doing currently - the story time will roughly be 4 years, spanning over 5 parts, to sum it up very shortly.

The long version of that summary

For the parts themselves, they're quite varied, the first and final parts being relatively short compared to the other 3 in the middle. Part I, which I'm currently at, canonically takes place in a span of 3 1/2 months.
Parts II, III and IV don't have exact times yet, but since there's a lot of content to go with, I'll just say that II & III are the longer ones with around 1 year each and Part IV currently standing with about 6-7 months. As for the final Part V, that's gonna be the shortest with just around 3 weeks, as it currently stands.

I just love seeing my cast grow over the span of that time xP

So far:

The prologue took place over the course of like... a couple of hours. You can see the sun set and it starts going dark as it goes.

Then there's a TEN YEAR TIMESKIP :rofl:

Chapters 1, 2 and 3 happen across the course of a day. Fun fact! I had to work out what time it was because you see people's phones a few times in these chapters...

So we start with Subo at mid-late morning (around 10-ish?), and he goes looking and meets Rekki. We get a flashback to Rekki earlier that morning, showing Rekki is up and ready to work at 7.30 (god, Urien is a horrible boss, isn't he?) So she got up, went into town patrolling with her support knight, who "went for coffee", never came back and is seen handing in her resignation to Felix when Subo enters the Chapter House, leading to Felix running into the lounge a few minutes later to find a replacement and Subo getting the job.

Then after patrolling a while and beating up the studded chaps demon, Rekki gets messages from Jules...

It's now half past two.

And then after finding the anomaly and witnessing Jules' amazing application of "delicate science, and seeing the really big demon emerge, Rekki messages Sarin at...

chapter2_28.jpg940x1309 345 KB

Twelve past three.

So "book 1" (chapters 1-3) outside of the prologue (chapter 0) spans most of one day up until around teatime.

Chapter 4 starts up the following day and we know exactly when it is because good morning, Rekki!

4_001.jpg940x1339 320 KB

And we're currently a number of hours later. Rekki has been to Camelot and back, Subo has gone to work and gone on an adventure with Jules and they've all driven to the University. It's afternoon now.

BUT Chapter 5 also had a lot of flashbacks, so it technically kind of also spanned ten years in a way, because we flahed back to days after the prologue, and then checked in for the following few years after it.

So in a roundabout way the answer is that Errant kind of spans an afternoon/evening and then two days, but it also spans ten years :sweat_02:

One year. Begining Jan to Ending Dec. I really want the finale to be in a snow setting.

What an interesting question you pose :thinking:. For The Action Fruit Society, season 1 takes place when the Action Fruits are 16 years old. Seasons 2 & 3 take place when they are 17 years old. Episodes 1-17 of season 4 take place when they’re 18 years old, with the remaining episodes 18-26 occurring during a one year time skip. Making them 19 years old, just about the tail end of their adolescence. So the entire series overall happened with the span of 3 years.

I am in the process of doing a miniseries that serves as an epilogue to the original series that happens during another time skip of 6 years. Which would grow them up to 25 years old at the ultimate end.

So far, Galactiquest has spanned the course of almost three months. I was going to go into detail, but then I remembered I had a spreadsheet that does that. I have an idea of how long the entire series will take in universe, but saying so out loud might ruin some suspense.

I think my story covers roughly one year, from the beginning of school in september till the end of summer. I don't know how many days will be potrayed, there will be some jumps from one week to another.

Technically 500 years, but my current comic is about the first 2 years of that story.

And I've only published one day so far lol
The overall story is about different generations trying to figure out and control the power/magic system I set up.
There are three generations I want to write about and the earliest and latest are 500 years apart.

Good question.
In the first scene, my main character is around I wanna say 12?
Then, after a timeskip, they're around 17-20? After that, more years pass, and they're 22, so the story takes place over the course of 10 years, although a lot of it is skipped as it's a short story.
So, roughly 3,650 days. Love me some flashbacks and time-skips.
