What Is Your Average Page Count(Monthly)?

[SoftWonderBun]

I've seen the same webtoon standard post popping up to the top of the forum over the last couple weeks and it got me thinking. For those of us who aren't trying to chase that ridiculous standard...How many pages/episodes are you genuinely able to complete per month?

I know some of us go single page still and some follow the webtoon scrolling format, either is fine for a response to this. All I ask is letting us know which format you follow.

For me, I can average 4 single pages a month with the free time I have. I do have a little extra time left over at the end of each month so I might try to bump it up a page or two.

Well, I guess it depends on my workflow, since I work for three different webcomics and I have a very flexible schedule and problems focusing.

But my average per month is
1 Episode for each series I work (3), with and average of 20 panels each one.
So... 60 panels in total, translated from vertical to traditional format... a page can have an average of 5-6 panels but I personally like 5, so I think it'll be 12 pages.

I must say that 2 of the series I draw for are completely colored, with cel-shading, 3d models incorporated and of course these require the approval of the author and fix anything they consider necessary. Meanwhile the third series I work for is in sketch, grayscale.

And in the meantime I also do commissions (Be it sets of character reaction sprites, Novel covers or illustrations in general), these tend to vary depending on what my clients want, but it's usually around 3-4 illustrations per month... unless these are my vtuber friends who ask for a batch of around 10 illustrations or with several characters, due to collabs or events.

I have given up on publishing my comic on webtoon.

I am doing great on Tapas. At first, I've been doing 4 to 5 pages a month but considering I can no longer do one page a week, I decided to later do 3 pages a month. This gives me 10-11 days to finish a page and do other projects, only February will have 2 pages because it is not a full 30 days so that gives me more time.

It's slow, 3~5 pages per month. I do want be a bit more productive but side projects...

I am comfortably able to produce a page a week, and built myself a massive buffer before I started posting. Since I post on Saturdays, readers get 3-5 pages a month, depending on how the days/weeks fall in a given month.

I post the same schedule for all of my sites (Tapas, Webtoon, Tumblr, and Deviantart) because who has time to post on different days at different sites?!?

10-11 pages I guess? Or around 60 panels, if you're going by Webtoon standards.

I could do more if I wasn't balancing it with other concerns, like studying and foolishly trying to color everything myself. I'm always trying to ice skate uphill .

But I also think that I've been able to get significantly better and faster over time. When I look at what used to take me a week in my first few pages, versus my latest ones... whew, lads.

My episodes are two pages stacked, averaging about 8 panels, and I update weekly, so in an average month I produce eight pages or somewhere around 64 panels.

...but note that I could never do this if I worked full time in my day job. I'm very fortunate that I've reached a stage in my career where I have a part time job that earns me enough to pay rent working two days a week.

[river121693]

I try to publish 3-5 pages every two weeks, so 6-10 pages a month. Each pages is usually 3-7 panels.

On average, I do about 20-25 pages a month I try to do one page per day, but there are days when I'm too busy with work or I'm meeting family & friends. Especially during the warmer months, all my weekends are booked If I know that I don't have a free evening, I try to draw at least a bit before work. Also, I work in bursts of energy, so when I'm in a good mood I try to draw more, because I know that later there might be days when I won't be able to force myself to draw at all.

Oh, and my pages are black & white and drawn traditionaly. I wouldn't be able to produce that much if my pages were digital & coloured.

[Moesakuara]

I update bi weekly, every other monday, with full pages (not scrolling). So about two or three a month. I do all the art and my story is full color. I feel like as long as you are consistent it doesn't matter how often you update.

Right now? 0. I don't have comics in my right now.

[TheLemmaLlama]

9 episodes up atm after about 11 months of posting, so 9/11 of an episode (~3 panels) per month

[smokesalty]

I finish around 12-18 pages a month when I'm working week to week. I aim for around 3-4 pages a week because I find it works for me with my schedule and gives my readers enough content. This translates to about 10-20 panels for webtoon readers every week.

[Azifri]

Depends on how much work I have. Including everything from writing to finished page, I'd say about 3 to 10 pages a month.

[TedGravesArt]

Depends on how complicated the pages are. Usually if I'm in production mode I complete a page every two days, so about 14-15 pages per month. The issue I'm working on right now has some pretty simple pages though, so there have been a couple weeks recently where I'm putting out around 5 full color pages per week with an average of 5-8 panels each.
I post two pages every friday, so I'm building a buffer as I work. That might drop off a little this summer as I spend more time outside, we'll see.
