Why are you drawing THIS comic?

[Kenn]

I think a most of my other ideas were rushed, so after I went through the phase of being excited about them I sort of 'got over them' as it were.

Starry Day was something that was so gradual, I mean Starlight went through some design changes along the way, and as the whole thing began when I was in High School I doodled a lot of Starry Day stuff in my Exercise Books. After some time it became familiar to me too. Even over the course of times with failed attempts to do something with him parts of of the puzzle that made the identity of Starry Day of a whole of what it is today.

I draw The Martyr's Rebellion
...honestly it's a story i had in mind for a long time and i really wanna share it with a mass majority of manga lovers and comic readers..I guess this is the main reason why...and also because i enjoy doing character designs and all of that short...I want to express my own ideas and views on certain subjects that other mangas do not have...

I continue to draw Strike Pup as I love women (Can't get enough of them), and I love action. So I though, why not combine the two. I wanted a female protagonist who rarely showed her soft side and who could kick plenty of butt.

I used to fill my books with designs too. I was once FORBIDDEN from drawing in class (not that I cared, since I kept on anyway).
Looking back, many of the designs were for a potential comic which may or may not be made someday (I must remember to ask for some advice here when I have the time), but I've kept them with almost no changes, even though they were made like five or six years ago.

Doesn't hurt to take what you had and see what you can do with it now! : D

So many changes happened, and 2 of our main 3 current protagonists didn't even exist before the webcomic!

Hi! I'm Josie-JES and I draw The Jade Heart.
I chose to go with this one because more than the actual story itself the characters are my favorites of all my designs(Some of them have a 14 year history with me!),I think up all kinds of different short stories but I always come back to this one,I've often thought up several of those stories with these same characters playing very different roles,plus this story actually has an ending.I often use these "guys" when I make parody comics for my own laughs too,maybe I'll post those some day...
This story has been messing around in my head for awhile,so even if just for the hell of it I wanna share it with the world,definitely without regretting it later!:)

My story is complicated! I draw cohersively assigned human at birth - and I am loving every moment I can find working on it. It is tender and vulnerable and explores raw feelings about living and being, which has been a huge way for me to process my life. <3 Huge is an understatement.

As a kid, I used to draw comics all the time about a milkshake and a straw. I thought you had to be funny to make comics, and eventually I realized I wasn't particularly funny. I also didn't really like superhero stuff. So I didn't draw, for years, until I made a very tender animated short film about growing up as a girl assigned male at birth. People loved it.

After the responses I got from the film, I realized I didn't need to tell 'funny comics' or 'action packed rollercoasters'. I just had to make real authentic stories that were true to my experience, and people would respond in the best way to it. I find drawing so much more delightful now knowing that. I love OliveOilCorp's Alone for similar reasons. It makes me excited to be in community with other vulnerable tenderhearts.

I draw Consolers mainly because I think it's a fun idea. While there's tons of gaming webcomics out there, I had yet to see anything like my comic, about the actual game companies. I like the whole "personification" concept and think designing and drawing these characters is a lot of fun, plus, I love reading about video game history and enjoy illustrating these events. So while not a completely original idea it's still a fresh spin on the "gaming webcomic" genre.

I always had lots, lots of stories in my head, just waiting to be drawn. Unfortunately, all of those stories are really long, and before I even got myself to draw it down, another one just appeared, leaving me with forever unfinished first chapter c;
6,75 also used to be that forever-unfinished one. About 5-6 years ago had a script for first two chapters, half of first chapter done, but dropped it because I was really unsatisfied with my arts and started getting doubts about the story. But later I decided to stop dropping my ideas like that, and told myself to sit down, work on one of those un-finished projects and finally complete it CX
So, why 6,75 of all those other ideas? It was SUPPOSED TO be short at first. The first plan was to close the story in about 9 chapters (...but when after few years I started working on it again, I added a lot of new content, characters and so on CX). Also, I like the story and some plot twists I came up with. I also draw it for characters, they are my babies, even if they hate each other~
But mostly to make a dream of my 16-years-old self come true and draw down her ideas c; so I've set a big NO to starting another projects before finishing this one :'D (with one exception, as I plan to start drawing short comics about life as a chemistry student, with all our accidents in labs : D )

Dreamcatchers was my first comic I started to draw. I think the first hero or heroine you have is usually YOU, and Sohiru is the girl I'll always be. I learnt a lot about drawing with this comic, and I'm so in love with the characters of it! They're like my children And... I think if I can draw the whole story, it can mean to me, that I'm able to do anything.

Meanwhile I'm drawing Furusato House. This story came from a dream of mine. As soon as I woke up, I started to write the story of it because I think It has a misterious feeling, what can easily catch you. So it totally bring me with itself XD Plus it's heroine... I wanted to make her a strong, brave character, who I wants to be, so... I just feel it's important for me to tell her story. And Hiroki... I just LOVE to draw him!

I drew a lot of comics, but Wonderers is the first one going so far (the French version as over 70 published page, and I drew over 120). The funny thing is that this one just HAPPENED. I drew two very different characters, and 5 random pages, left it somewhere and kind of remembered it way later... I finally came back to it very as an experiment (on layouts and b&w) and never stopped.
I think I like the storytelling, I dont do more than 4 page of story-board before starting to draw. Of course I already know the story, but I'm letting myself enough space to be in a discovery process each time I'm drawing it. And I love it.
I also like those characters a lot as well as this non-magic-anymore-but-once-was universe.

I've always wanted to make a comic. I loved shonen manga and American superhero comics as a kid. However, as I got older the type of comic that I really wanted to read I couldn't find, so I just decided to make it for myself. Hopefully, others like what I have created.

[kamethehermit]

Sounds like fun =)

Why am i drawing my comic?
Random Stuff is a short-comics series, as such it gives me a wide range of themes to work with, and doing it in a traditional way (watercolor pencils) is really fun and is something i wasn't that used to do, until i started with the series.

[davidlhickmon]

I'm writing and drawing Autumn Bay because the setting literally lets me tell the vast majority of all the stories I want to tell. I like working in modern (and slightly pre-modern) times, and weaving tales of the fantastic, and my comic lets me do that.

[shortygul]

My Girl: Nano Alechimist is the story of my life; except for the giant mecha, super powers, mutated people plants and animals. Basically, it's about me and my friend. http://m.tapastic.com/series/mygirl

[Fascher]

Practice!! I have another comic I would like to draw, however I don't have much experience drawing a comic at all! This doesn't mean that this story is really rushed though, I ended up falling in love with the story and characters anyway >v>

My comic is a nuzlocke and I love Pokemon so I decided not to do an original story (which would have taken more time to plan out) instead of just getting on with it and getting that EXP!

[Viro_Veteruscy]

I draw Buckle: Slave & Monster because I want to show that not everything is as simple as fighting bad guys. Sometimes there's more personal troubles that characters have to deal with that not everyone sees. There can be times that simply having one friend can make a huge difference when thinking that you're better off alone and isolated from those who simply misunderstand you or treat you differently before even getting to know you...

[zeravlam]

Great question!

I'm making PAWS because I love pets, both kittens and puppies, and I always wanted to create a story about my own pets and try to make some adorable drawings. Hope I'm doing right!

I created Casual Gamer because video games are one of my passions, and I think that the nicknames "casual gamer" and "hardcore gamer" are absurd, so I try to show how everyone should play whatever they like without no one making fun of them.

[sarahrebecca58]

At the moment two reasons: 1. I need the experience for larger projects. 2. I don't see to many poetry comics out there.

[kennethwright5]

I'm doing Uncommon People because if I don't no one else will. It's the sort of thing I'd like to read. I have a number of stories in mind for it, but I'm beginning with "The Dead Girl" arc since it introduces the world, and it wouldn't work anywhere else but first.
