>>731628>sorry if im taking the thread off-topic you're a fascinating case is allThanks anon! I'll try to answer all your questions succinctly, but I have a tendency to ramble.
>hey OP how old were you when you started this comic?I think I was 20 or 21. I studied graphic design and illustration in college (I know it's meme degree, but I can't change the past). For the final project, we were allowed to do whatever we wanted, so I decided I was going to make an issue of a comic. I went to a really shitty university, but the upside of this was because students were so unmotivated and didn't care, my friends and I were able to start a comic society and get funding from the Student Union to print our comics. We started a club hoping more students would join but for the most part it was just me and my two bros. Our school also had a risograph printer that no one else used, so we basically used it as our private printer to print out our comics and posters. At the first comic con I went to with Oi! I sold out of all 60 issues of #1, so that's what inspired me to keep going with it and start issue 2-selkie blues.
>also what are somethings you'd do differently if you were to do it all over again?I dunno. Everything I learned about comics was from the experience of doing. The main thing I would do differently would be to get a non-meme degree and do art on the side-that's what I recommend to everyone in college! I should have studied business or marketing or something. My art courses were full of arty farty conceptualists and we didn't even get life drawing classes as part of our illustration course-it was a joke! Comics wise, looking back, I would have grinded fundies harder and kept regularly grinding fundies. In some early issues and even now, if I don't do life drawing for awhile, the anatomy gets wonky.
