I was always a creator, I can’t no create, it’s like telling me to not breathe 
Some asshole made a line of NFTs called Game Punks and I said fuck that and started a webcomic with the same name but with actual heart & soul
I just always had/have so many story ideas, that I wanted to build, and create. Additionally, I love art, so I love putting these two interests together and creating comics!
My entire family is kind of gifted in the artistic department. Bed time stories and TV shows filled my imagination with tons more, and I started reading longer stories at a very young age. After reading 'Harry Potter' I became fascinated with writing my own story. The first try was kind of like a rip off of the original series but right after it I got to writing my own original works on Wattpad, and I haven't been able to stop since. That's about five years ago, I graduated highschool two years ago and I'm happy I still get to share my stories.
I have always loved writing stories and because of watching large amounts of anime and reading webtoons, I wanted to make a comic on Webtoon. The problem is that I suck at drawing. Like really suck. This led to me abandoning my dream of making my own comic but then I came across Tapas. Seeing novels on this reignited my spirit for writing stories and that ended up in me making my own novel which is now on 46 subscribers. I love reading and writing stories so with my novel here I want to show my family and friends that not only can I write stories that people love, but also make money and a career doing something that is my passion. Which is why I will not give up until my novel has been read and enjoyed by hundreds of people around the world.
I have been telling stories since I was a kid, so I thought I'll make a career out of it. So far, I am still in the starving artist phase but with a little bit more perseverance, I'll succeed.
I really liked the Dragon Ball manga when I was in middle school and doodled little gag comics about Goku and Akira Toriyama. I then decided to make original long form doodley comics. It inspired me to come up with more characters and such.
One of the comics I made as a teen was called Crow which I think I always wanted to convert into a webcomic. I did eventually do that. I was in my mid 20s and depressed and I wanted something more positive to focus on.
Had a story a friend and I wrote in our early 20s out of spite since at that time we were so discontent with how the mecha field was trending. Decided to write it just for fun, and since it was horribly written at at that time, I decided 15 years later to rewrite it properly and only post just to see if it could possibly be a story someone would enjoy (because why not? ^^; ).
No goals for money or followers as I am not an author, just another dude out there.
Novel is about 2/3 done.
I thougt it would be fun to make characters. I'm also interested in storytelling techinqes. Although it's not realistic I thought it would be nice to have a fandom.
I really do just want to be like those creators where people can read my name and be like "OH THANK GOD THIS PERSON IS WORKING ON THIS!". I hate when someone perverts an IP or makes it too different that it should be something else. Especially in this time and age where it's really difficult to create your own property what with companies wanting everything to either be adaptions of big projects or spin-offs.
I think I've accepted that I be a people pleaser. I'd 101% down to remake someone else's vision while trying to make some of the stuff that didn't work in the past work.
@Crowv Also yeh that too. I get a headache when I'm not working.
I thought being an artist makes you popular with the chicks.
And the rest developed from itself after that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The right side of my brain which controls creativity influenced my mind more than the left side ever did. So growing up, I drew just about anything that caught my attention and well… I still do.
It was only when I got into Marvel and DC comics that I decided to try my hand at one as well. But I really love animation, so I want to do that. But I wanted to get my start in comics first. I want to leave this world with impacting stories that will make me immortalized. And will leave people inspired for years to come.
I also do it partly to make $$
but I look at all the other fields and think we're betting on the wrong horse here... <_<
I want to tell an amazing story and make tons of $$ while I am at it.
Edit: Also, to create a fan base that goes on for a while.
Idk. I didn't choose the creator life.
Actually I think it's the only addiction I have. Kind of like not milking a cow in a lot of ways if I don't get the ideas out it becomes painful. I just also happened to have drawing as a compulsive habit. I'm fine living this life thought the constant string of "you have to do this" "you should do this" is almost like a joyful ache.
I just had some stories to tell, and comics was the easiest medium for me to tell them in.
Dabbled in a page or two, here and there in high school after getting into manga. In 2009 I made kind of an attempt, didn't make it past 20 pages. Made another attempt in 2010 with a new story, that one made it till a little after the start of my current comic, like 2-3 pages more pages then I dropped it.
Nothing super special. Oddly enough comics didn't even register with me until high school, but I think the only comic I had as a child was a saddle stitched single chapter of The Electric Tale of Pikachu I got in a Pokemon game pack. Other than that comics didn't exist to me since I only cared about drawing, mineral hunting in the mountains and playing video games. I did some small bits of writing, especially when a movie pissed me off, and I thought I could write it better. Didn't do it often though since I hated writing. Lol
Honestly, the initial spark just kinda happened when I was too young to remember. Just kinda stuck. I kinda feel like I have a habit of looking at something vaguely cool, realizing “I can do/learn how to do that.” Then proceeding to learn how deep the rabbit hole goes and going “Hell yeah! I could do anything with this” only to run out of story inspiration after finishing one last project and fall back into a more aesthetically driven medium I’ve been trying to hone.
