I want to have a following and be appreciated. That's my end goal. My current one is to finish chapter one

You wouldn’t want to work with your local bookstore to see if they’ll put your book up? :thinking::thinking::thinking:

My ultimate end goal is to print and publish my series and possibly gain an audience (I don't care about having a big or small following as long as I have caring and devoted fans). Also, just the fact that I am able to bring my story into existence makes me happy.

i don't feel like i have much of an end goal aside from just getting my stories out there. a desire for any kind of following or whatever has become even less than secondary i guess because i feel like attempts at garnering attention or just being noticed in general is a tiring process so more than anything I just want my work out there in whatever form is accessible to me and to have the tools, time, energy and finances necessary to accomplish that in a way that i can be satisfied with.

if attention for those works comes after then great but i mostly just wanna sate that urge to release what's been kind of trapped or held in my heart mind and soul for so long; like screaming after holding your breath for a long time

i guess there's also a desire to continue learning and improving in art in whatever form that is but no real endpoint in that since you never really stop learning

There isn't much from me actually.
Just to continue living doing what I like to do, draw and get paid so I can keep a roof on top of my head and a full stomach.

Hum... my ultimate goal would be having a living out of my art. Not only my comic, but my art in general. But that's a bit too big, right? hahaha I'd like to have a following that appreciate my work (and I do have a few already in my comic, fortunatelly), and obviously I want to make money out of it (that I don't make much right now xD), but I think the most important thing is having a caring audience. I do want to have a big audience though, I want more people to see my work. I dream of selling phisical copies too, I'd love to see my comic in phisical format! I almost did it for a convention here in my country but it didn't work out as I didn't had the funds for it. Idk, I dream of being big, even if it doesnt happen.

nope. if i make people pay for my story, then people can criticize it!
Half joking. I also don't want raised expectations. That's why my stuff is all free.

My goal is to visualize all of my ideas in a single universe world building from fantasy all the way to Sci-Fi so that many all over the world can see, and read the stories, and lore I make.

I want my stories to make people happy
I wouldn't mind making money off them either, but I created my comic simply to spread the story I wanted to tell.

end goal - I'd like to eventually have a physical copy of my stories
Dream- pitch it to a comic company or A24 studios (or both)

Okay, so this sounds like an overly grandiose pipe dream, but I want to inspire people and make them feel empowered to take the future of art into their own hands. To prove that we as creators and audiences have the power to make good art happen, that we're not at the mercy of big corporations and we don't have to settle for what they give us.

I've made a few unusual choices to this end; my work is open source and public domain, I've maximized my free time while still guaranteeing my ability to support myself rather than banking on supporting myself with my art, and I plan to encourage my audience to do stuff with my work and directly commission others to do the stuff they want instead of relying on me. To support my work, they're gonna have to take matters into their own hands.

Tbh I was inspired by this video3 by Uniquenameosaurus; in particular, the part where he talks about how if the 'official version' of a work is deeply flawed, someone can just come along and make a better version. I want that for my stories. I want them to grow and become something bigger than myself. I don't plan to be Airlock Bound1, but my work also (at least partially) aims to prove a point :stuck_out_tongue:

Of course, for me to have any impact I'm going to have to be successful (in terms of fame, not fortune) while operating under this mindset. Not anywhere near that at the moment, but that's the 'end goal' anyways :smiley:

For me? I want a publisher to notice me and pick my comic to be licensed! It has been a life long dream to see my story coming to life on the bring screen!!!

Building an audience, and fanbase for my comics, and socials also appreciated as a comic creator. And eventually get paid would be awesome someday that is my end goal. For webtoon contests to gain exposure and some existanse to the webtoon staff that I am a comic creator.

I guess to build a community based on my work (?) if that makes sense. :see_no_evil:
But I don't really see or have an end goal. I just want to keep doing what I like, hopefully for the rest of my life.

End goal sounds like you stop when you reached that goal. That´s something
that doesn´t exist for me. I stop when I die and in the meantime I follow small
and big goals.

Small goals can be daily things or small events like playing a concert
next saturday. Big goals can be publishing a comic, taking part in a contest, releasing
an album, printing a book.

This year I published an album, finished one third of a comic which I send to a contest,
started singing in a band and one goal is to record 2 songs for my solo project as a
musician, play some shows. When I reached one goal, the next one will pop up.

I know multiple people who don´t seem to have any goals, some of them don´t want
to work on goals, some are happy to work on goals that I set for them but would never
come up with the ideas themselves. That´s something I don´t understand, but maybe
they have ideas/goals which are totally different than mine and they don´t talk about it
