Webcomic startup
Bubbleob:
Howdy! I'm new to the forum and this seems to be where i can find out. Can someone fill me in on the process to start up a webcomic?
Valrus:
1. Don't ask the yahoos around here for advice
2. ?????
3. Profit?
No, seriously, I'm sure you'll get some helpful advice from someone around here. But it sure ain't gonna be me.
And just so you don't get your hopes up, it probably won't be Jeph either.
For starters, though, I can recommend as a first step that you make sure your comic is decent. Either the art has to be good or the writing has to be compelling; preferably both. If you haven't workshopped it or shown it to your friends and gotten satisfied murmurs of approval at the very least, get your ass back to the drawing board. God knows there are enough mediocre web comics out there already, and while yours doesn't have to be a masterpiece, we've had enough people come in here showing off comics which had basically nothing to recommend them that I think I can safely say you'd be a fool to trust your own judgment.
Okay, so that turned out to be a little longer than I expected. Anyway, good luck!
Bubbleob:
Thanks, i think.
The idea of showing it to my friends is helpful. But i was referring more to the web side of the situation. How do i get the webspace and upload the comic etc?

TADA! Free webspaces!
All you really need after that is an FTP program. I use 'FTP Commander' becaus it was free and it had 4 stars next to it's name which made me believe I'd see Kevin Spacey in the file menu. Sadly this wasn't so.
I can answer more questions if you are more specific.... but you can also just google search for info. There's about 300 tutorials out there telling you how to do everything from drawing and pasting sprites to site design and all that techy crap I'll never understand
Good luck![/url]

Screw fancy programs, all you need is MSPaint!
