Why did you become a creator?

[meap]

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.

[powerplantanimations]

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.

Because I LOVE creating comics. I love creating stories as well...

[PapaDom]

I thought being an artist makes you popular with the chicks.

And the rest developed from itself after that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[AmazementComics]

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 had the same thoughts as well lol.

Let's manifest for our fandoms together

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... <_<

[RiidDisBuk3]

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

[AxemanRifflord]

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.

Pfff same, for real! According to my mom I've been drawing since I was 3, it's just something I gotta do, and get stressed out when I can't for a week or so.

SImply because I love to write! Speaking of writing, here's a shameless plugin!

tbh I don't really think of myself as a 'creator'; just 'a person who happens to have specific stuff they're creating'. If I finish creating all the stuff I want, I may well just retire from the creation business. So I guess I became a creator because I have specific stuff I want to create, which is very tautological XD

Why did I want to create the specific stuff? It depends on which thing we're talking about. My motivations for creating bitwam, God's World, the First Principles series etc are all distinct (but overlapping).

As for why I learnt to draw ... idk, it just sort of happened I think it first started as playing pen-and-paper versions of pet/farming/RPG kind of games with my stepsister where we basically made up games and "DM'd" for each other, and afterwards I kind of just stuck with it because it was an accessible activity for a kid with not many friends or toys I don't think I really set out to master the art of ... art, for a specific goal XD

[summermcallen]

creating stories and drawing was always a part of me. It’s just what I like the most.
So I started being a creator to share these stories with others. I just want to tell them. entertain them

[GhostlifeMaku]

I always imagine and dreaming but never get to finish them, make the story good, and most of the time forgot them
I always read webcomic and i admire them, but never got an idea of making them because i don't know how to. Until i saw a video of how to make one, and I was just curious, but never planning on making one. Then i saw some fan art which i fall in love with. Then suddenly remember the video "how to make a webcomic ",search and learned that you can actually make money and since i'm a student i want to make money, and thanks to my ideas, motivation, and love for pokemon i finally made one

And I wish that I can get 500 sub to at least support myself
