Oh well I wrote M is for Monster because of the writers camp but also to show people that sometimes you can enter in a situation and you think you know what you're seeing. There's a good side and a bad side. Well, not everything is like that. Sometimes, everything is grey and there's no real good or bad. It just is but I think that was for myself in a way.
Because I want to improve my skills as a writer and artist.
Because I don't want to stay in my current career for the rest of my life.
Because I have dozens of stories that I want to tell and have people appreciate.
Because I want to prove to myself that I can stick with a long, LONG term project and complete it.
Because I love making stuff.
making it for practice.....i dont know anything about writing,but i can draw,so i make comic.
comic has been helping me cope with my personal life,so i figure i want to create comic to help people with their life.
I love to read, it's been a major part of my life and I wanted to try my hand at writing myself 
As far as the theme of my writing, I wanted a story that showed the complexities and messes that is life, how the line between what's right and wrong/good and evil, can be fare more blurry than people realize and despite all that, people can still pick themselves up and push forward. People are far stronger than they realize.
well I mostly work on my comic because I have nothing else to do, and I have a LOT of ideas for it in the future that I don't want to just be in my head. it's also a way for me to develop my art skills. otherwise, I don't really have any message in it. I just do it for the fun of it
I want to give my readers a good time. Reading always protected me from the crap going around me, so I wish it would help someone else. This is not to say I write happy stuff. There is darkness in my stories but through all the toil, I always let good prevail.
There’s something I always quote.“Write the book you want to read,” and I always do that, there’s thousands of stories about the hero winning and have friends to help him/she beat the big bad evil person so I want to write and show that villains have friends to and things don’t always work out the way you think it will. But that’s just for my new book.
I draw my comic because it's a story I want to read and I also want to try and share my thoughts in it as well since I have trouble expressing them verbally.
Im making this because its my dream to be a comic artist and because of my love of manga and comics. Ive been working on this for about 9 years since i was in 10th grade but only in the last few years has my art been good enough for me to actually make pages. Still have a long way to go art wise but still want to put my work out there and make a story that atleast some people like.
My little series started out when I was feeling depressed and I wanted to do something productive. After watching animation videos on YouTube and reading webcomics I decided to make an fb page. At first I just uploaded drawings but then I came up with my first webcomic which... wasn't all that good...
Eventually I made up a plot (which I am still currently refining) and filled the series with more characters.
Generally I just make comics about my life and what I find funny. But my message would be to share my experience with others.
If... that's counted as a message :T
I am very religious and it was on my mind and laid on my heart for about 2 years and I have been trying to develop the story and world for about 2 years. With all the signs about armor put in front of me, I decided to go ahead and pull a Hayao Miyazaki by making up the story and retweak it as I go along. I think a lot has to do with the theme of knowledge is power and being strong when it is hard to be strong. I want to encourage myself and others to strengthen their faith in the midst of pain and fear. https://tapas.io/series/A-Call-to-Bear-Arms6
It took me a while to realize this but I created my stories to cope with some of the trauma in my life, specifically, about not having a dad there for me. I found my self trying to build a relationship with him in my stories.
Not much has changed since I was a kid. I use my art to cope with my current struggles, to understand my emotions, and to share my joys as well.
My story is a culmination of experiences and I want to sort of convey that it's okay to think outside of the ordinary.
I deal in cosmic motifs and these beings are vast and endless, but we can be, too especially as it pertains to our imaginations and I think that's cool.
Even more, each part of my story encompasses some theme separate from each other: First part is about Friendship/Family and the importance of trust
Second part is about love and challenging what is considered normal.
Third part is about freedom and that fighting for justice and freedom for everyone should be a priority, not just for oneself.
A lot of how I see the world and the universe has made its way into this project...I hope people can take something from it.
I usually make stories to make people feel. I want to say some important sh*t in them too, but mostly to see people get happy over a character, sad if something happens to them, angry-- everything, mostly because I do that when I read stories, and wont forget how do you truly feel things, emotions. I enjoy it and I have seen other people enjoy it too :3
Also I need to bleed all the ideas and stuff from my own head before it explodes XD
I mostly do the stories for me and I publish then to see if I can get some profit out of it, is nice to see if someone likes what you do, but honestly I make things for me. I dunno I like to make things and tell tales.
i actually dreamt of my comic idea
its been two years and its still in my head everyday so if not for my readers... then for me i would really like to develop the world and the characters because i do love them a lot. There's no 'definite' message like 'be kind to others, friendship saves all, love conquers all ie though
Well for me, it's really a way to indirectly deal with feelings and thoughts I don't like to confront but I have to as part of treatment (my comic revolves around mental illness, focusing more on depression). I also wrote this as a way to maybe hopefully help others by showing them that they are not alone in their struggles and that recovery is possible. I also wrote this to help give some insight to people who don't understand mental illness that well of what it is like to be in a such a place and why its so difficult to get help. I also wrote this story to honor a friend of mine who has another very stigmatized physical illness (HIV/AIDs). So its really a comic to show overcoming of struggles, destigmatizing and fostering understanding for certain illnesses, showing that people are not fully defined by their illness and that there is someone out there who cares for you and is willing to support you.
Please put a link to your comic on your profile, I'd love to read it with such a description! Also good luck with your fight, you're not alone, wish you well 
It's mainly because I've had these characters and world in my head for a while and I wanted to put it down on paper as a study. Also, I love stories and making them 
For me it's just very fun and I want to share them to others to see how they think of it.
Whew, I started this thread, so I may as well participate:
Long story short, Project SHaDe2 first started roughly 6 years ago as a comedy comic featuring my friends as the characters - as life progressed, some came and left, as my own interests also shifted. Now it's deviated quite far from its origins and has become quite spooky in nature.
I'm still unsure of the outcome of this project, but what I do know is that, in essence, I'm pouring my heart and soul into this story. Upon further contemplation, I realise that there are 2 very important facets of Project SHaDe:
A case study on loneliness:
I wanted to portray a character/characters that were completely alone in their journeys. One thing I had noticed in the manga and media I consumed is that many of them have so much support for their adventures - thus, I wondered how a person would fare when facing impossible odds. A part of me may also be driving me to explore this part of the human condition - maybe to reconcile with little parts of myself.
Guilt and human perseverance:
A common notion I've found has developed within the characters is a focus on the concept of guilt. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I want to hit home the message that you must not be crushed by your guilt - if you are to move forward, you have to carry your suffering and continue trudging forward.
Honestly, as long as one person finds meaning in this comic upon its completion, I'll be happy when I eventually go and die. I think in essence, that's why I'm working on this - it's kind of like an emergency 'last words before I die' letter, just in case I get isekai'd.
I've been working on my comic universe for YEARS now. I began working on the first part of my story 5 years ago and I just finished it off this past December. Unfortunately a lot of folks didnt like the comic because the art in the beginning pages weren't as good as the art in the final pages. But I'm still trucking along with its sequel because unlike some folks, I really believe in the content that I'm creating. I just want more folks to pay attention.
Renisha + Cjay is a sequel to the comic I talked about above. And if things go well with it in the future then I will release the other comic on here.
I was actually considering this question a couple days ago so I'm glad to see it being asked. The belief I used to hold deepest was that the written word is a powerful tool that can entertain and educate, and that it's the duty of a writer to convey a message to the reader.
I was much younger then. It was a pretentious viewpoint. Now I create because I need to. Some people might be fine going their wholes lives by simply existing, maybe creating children to continue their lineage, but that's not what I want. I have this overpowering drive to create new worlds and characters that I find compelling.
Anyway, here's my main series if anyone's interested. It might be new to you but I've spent the last ten years developing the characters and world.
Because I'd be doing 11-year old me a disservance if I ever stopped. Lemme backtrack with a story, grandchildren.
It's the 6th-grade, and I took on the job of creating an entire fancomic Saga with Pucca, Yin Yang Yo, Hello Kitty, my own OCs and The PowerPuff Girls. It was four arcs long, each with more than 10 chapters, and all drawn on notebook paper -- which was then stuffed into a bunky, flimsy binder with envelope tabs, like so:
I was proud of it. I carried it with me everywhere. Even showed all of the story, and I mean ALL of it, to my best friend (who had the patience of a Saint, I tell you). I wrote that Saga for one year and never once thought about how hard it was or how much work it was going to be. I just wanted to write that story.
So if 11-year old me could write and draw a story she adored, and keep writing and drawing it despite how unbelievable long it got, I can too. She is my inspiration to keep going with my stories and see that I finish them.
Initially it was because I was unemployed and depressed and I made it a goal to just shittly draw comics just to get something done and have a reason to get up every day, however arbitrary.
I still use it as an outlet to focus on producing something instead of lying around and thinking about death in my spare time.
My secret hidden agenda within the comic was also to just have trans and queer characters in there where their trans and/or queerness wasn't the whole focus so that I could help sneakily normalize it in our overall culture. Shh.
To stretch my creative muscles
To put my ideas to good use instead of keeping them trapped in my mind
To inspire others to have confidence and start creating their own stories
And, (might get flack for this) I really don't like the direction a lot of mainstream comics like Marvel and DC are going (nor am I a fan of these past convoluted reboots/rebirths/crisis/ etc that make these comics pretty hard to get in to and just really just adds to the exclusivity of the comic industry) and I want to contribute to the indie webcomic scene to, hopefully, do better.
I started it, because it was always a dream of mine to do a comic. The point of the story was simple. To tell the backstory of one of my characters. I had used her in big and small RPGs before and had grown quite fond of her. Buuut since her backstory picks up a lot of relevant political issues I tend to ask myself, if that's really the only point. I could tell any story, if it was just about creating and finally doing a comic, right? So why a comic about an oppressive racist system, violent rebellions and extremism? Am I just that pretentious?!
Well, maybe. 
But that's not all! I guess I use my comic to explore how extreme circumstances can form otherwise pretty normal individuals (my individuals!) and how they and their goals evolve through the world they inhabit. Do I have anything to say to my readers? Heck if I know. I started this thing for myself and am lucky enough to have some people join me for the ride.
The story I write is at best morally ambiguous, so the most important thing for me is for my readers to come to their own conclusions about the actions of my protagonists and the people they encounter. And I hope that they have a good time doing that!
I've always come up with stories and drawn, it's a coping mechanism for me, so I've never not done it.
More specifically The Changeling's Sister is part self therapy and introspection, part a love for fairytales. The story developed at a time I was fresh out of a horrible depression that left me without emotions for half a year, and a developing general angxiety, and some years of heavy daily stress, and I guess I just want a story that shows all that emotional mess, and that hopefully, you can get out the other side of it.
