Which kind of creator are you?

[TrustyShamrock]

im also 3 tryin to be a 4! i mostly do illustrator work for other peoples books and stuff. but i really wanna make my own for a job. but now i just do it for fun. might publish it some day

[asheskyler]

Somewhere between Hobbyist and Semi-Pro. I am goofing off with print-ready copies, PDFs and ePubs, and a purely written counterpart, but I don't expect it to go anywhere. Mostly doing it for myself.

2 - Hobbyist. Lots of fun to write and produce comics, but I don't ever expect to make money from it.

[KSlinger]

I'm a Hobbyist for sure. I love drawing and making West but it has to come second to everything else, just like gaming or hiking. Booo.

I thought that topic was quite interesting so I made it into a graph.
For clarity, all the "I am sitting between x and y" I counted as x. (Ex, I am between 1 and 2 I counted as 1).

[BlackMantaStudios]

I'm a 2. I'm just having fun making comics and entertaining some people as I do on the side. As much as I love art, my other plans for my life take precedence.

[purrlpankras]

I'm kind of a weird one.

I do get paid for digital paintings and such, along side of university work.
But I also do Two Faced, which I got the first chapter self published.

But yes, in an ideal world I'd like 4

[raelcsART]

I probably was #1 but now im #3 (maybe working towards a #4 >:3 )

[ToonDoctor]

This chart is great!!! Wicked!

Somewhere between 2 and 3 I'm trying to produce as many comic pages at as I can per month as I can but am being weighed down by budget constraints. With any luck I can run into some benevolent supporters to help out with that : ) so far my writer for Mercenary Gu has be a big help ensuring at least one page of the comic is made each month (him and I pay the artist).
One day I want to make to the status of 4.

[trivialtales]

Semi-pro, I guess? I get a few jobs a year, and collaborate outside of my main thing. Also I wasted a bunch of money on an animation degree, so just humor me (crying)

[Knight_Owl]

I'm either 2 or 3, but most probably 2.

[ikushina]

learning hobbysit, but i would probably end up as a hobbyist heh..

[vitamindy]

I'm currently a 2 as a webcomic creator but 4 as a game developer. Also, hello again, forums. (I haven't visited since the Tapas app overhaul, sorry T_T)

[Greg_Dickson]

I'm #2, but I aspire to be #3. I work a part time job, have a wife, kid and house, and all of those responsibilities. While I am creating my series for fun (I mean, who doesn't?), I would really like for it to be published someday. But because I'm just starting, I'm years upon years away from the possibility of #3. #4 would be the ultimate dream, but I don't want to set the bar too high. Haha.

[carloswebcomic]

I'm so #2 that I'll change my name to Señor Dos and sign all my documents as 1+1.

[elixiadragmire]

3 and 4?

I'm a full time Illustrator/graphic designer. Silversong is my 'hobby' but its more of a second full time job booking comic cons, doing promo, creating pages. I would like to find a 'publisher' thou I'm not taling Image/DC/Dark horse, more digital focused companies.

[seacho]

I'd say I'm in between 1 and 2, because I just started making web comics and I'm still in school, but I already had some experience in drawing comic for myself

[lilybugged]

I'm a #1, but somehow I feel that, with my simplistic style, my comic might gain a sizable following someday.
Here it is if anyone's interested lol: Shut Up.

[ShrewdManeuver]

Used to be #2 but I got tired of contract work, worked on projects year after year both in games and animation on different companies. I just feel drained working on other peoples ideas just to sell kids toys. So I'm gonna try it out on my own.

I'm a #4
