Title: Non comic specific questions
Post by: Stupid N00bie on February 24, 2008, 05:39:36 PM
For general things like: (Feel free to answer these Jigsaw)
How large is your comic buffer?

Average time it takes to make a page?

Will VoV ever be updated? (Koff, Koff)

And thats all I have at the moment.  To everyone else, feel free to contribute.

1. The size of the buffer depends on what season it is. If you ask me at the start of a semester, it'll likely be the Super-Mondo-Gigantimous Five-Month Buffer (which is no small feat -- YOU try drawing 20 comics over Christmas Break)! Over the semester, naturally, it gets smaller. I'm at 15 weeks right now, which is... acceptable, but I always feel better having more in there.

2. Depending on the complexity of the comic page involved, this can be anywhere from 1-4 days. Of course, this assumes that I'm actually trying to work on it, which is part of the reason I have such large buffers during the school year in the first place. (the other reason is it makes me stress less about actually drawing the comic... so I can worry more about promoting it and justifying its existance to my Dad somehow making a little coin off it.)

3. I don't want to say "No", HOWEVER... The Vampire of Veldin is an early work of mine that I don't necessarily have the energy to work on at this point. Let's face it, there's a lot less incentive for me to finish what's essentially an old fanfic than there is to work on an original project of mine that has more fringe benefits than "ZOMG your work is awesome write more of it!"

... so I might, but I don't want to promise either way. Sound fair?

I will always take a "we'll see."

Also, do you have any webcomics that you particularly enjoy?

I'll probably make that into a blog post sometime soon.

For now, though, I've got a post from a few months ago  (http://lastres0rt.blogspot.com/2007/10/barcamp-recap-and-some-comic-pluggage.html)talking about a few of the comics I visit. Partial list, though, since it only counted the Friday-updaters, and my tastes have changed a little since then.

I could post the ones -I- read, but again, that's out of date... ;-]
