Which kind of creator are you?

[timinabox24]

neither
I already gave up on comics but I have so many pages no one has ever seen that it will be months before my friends /or anyone else/ realize I've already quit long ago XD

I think I fit mostly in category 3, or maybe a 2.9? My graphic novel started as just a hobby project, my heart and brain child that i wanted to accomplish. But as I work on it more, it becomes more and more important to me. Regardless of any kind of popularity (or lack there of), I do plan on self printing and trying to sell at conventions and the like, unless for some reason I am found and am approved for more professional publishing options. I have recently agreed to work on some more professional projects, but this will be the first one that has actually followed through.

1. I like to draw my comic. I like it when other people read it. I simply feel to nooby to be a proffesional comic artist.
   However I don't need to get payment for it. I draw for fun and wanna keep it fun.

[Kauffee]

1 yup =w= It's pretty sweet XD

[almondjoy445]

I'd probably say semi-pro.

[GesuGesu]

2. Hobbyist. It's just for fun. No need to get my jimmies rustled over wanting to be pro

[Wafer]

I'd say im a 3 but would like to be a 4. Times is tough for young artist.

[duochipi]

We're number 2, but we'll be focusing more on our webcomic to improve a bring more chapters faster since now we have more time.

[KoreanTacos]

I'm at a 2 wouldn't mind delving into 3 territory, but my art isn't strong enough to pull off a lot of the story ideas I have and I don't have the money to pay the struggling artists out there (if I had the money I would like my stories to be a reality).

[Parkblog79]

I have graduated from 1.7 to 2.1 during the last few years! Making stories is still a hobby for me, but I am really passionate about that hobby.

[ToonDoctor]

You are very funny!

[Parkblog79]

Thank you for thinking so!

[xYuushax]

I'm 1 and 2.
I'm just starting to make comics.

[speakmanwriter]

I'd say somewhat of a mixture of 3 and 4. I work a full-time job in which I use my pay to fund my comic projects and such.
I table at conventions/events and have had my work published by various publishing houses.

I decided to start this webcomic as an avenue to give readers something for free. After a decent number of pages have been gathered, the book will be printed.

[LuciieR]

Number 2, but back when i was a kid i loved to think someday id be a 4, i even sent my publisher friend a manga when i was ??? 14 so he could see if I had future lol.

I think i realised that I'm a pain in the butt when i need to do something because i HAVE to, I'm unable to meet a deadline or any sign of discipline a professional artist is supposed to have, and my favorite works are fanarts/oc related stuff, so i decided to not lose interest in drawing: keep it as a hobby (or a therapy for when my lab blows up lol) and build a career on something I'm good and it's garanteed

((but i admit some days i still think I could be a 4 kkkk))

[aszabla]

I'm a 4. I work full time as a concept artist/art director at a video game studio, then it's comics all night. Someday I'll jump off to comics full time, but for now the security of a monthy paycheck, health insurance, and the ability to do a clean switch from working at the office during the day to working on comics at my home studio (as opposed to freelance where you're tempted to always be on the clock) keeps me in the 9 to 5 life!
Still I have two published books, a third on deck, and then my comic Banquet on tapastic which right now is...my free time comic? Is it weird to procrastinate on your published comic by...making a whole nother comic!?

I definitely remember the days I was just dabbling, though! I started trying to make webcomics in high school (more than 10 years ago!) and I learned a lot about keeping a schedule and how to draw and pace a story and who knows what else. I'm definitely proof you can go from scribbling comics on the back of math homework to published pro though! Just takes time and bullheaded stubbornness >

[krissorayan]

Most suitable number for me is 3. A semi-pro.

[ToonDoctor]

Why is that? We want to know more!

[Djmuse1231]

Definitely number 4... or at least, trying to be number 4. I approach my work on that level, but haven't been able to make any kind of sustainable living or income off of it. No published work, no massive audience... just working towards getting those things.

Saunters up to the microphone and casts his shadow over the breadth of the crowd. With one defiant fist struck into the air, he raises his voice to the heavens, "I am not a number!"

I'm a hobbyist. I enjoy it for it's own merits. I need no other reward. A cup of coffee from time to time, or maybe a black glove, would be nice though.
