Webcomic startup

Thalass:
I'm not yet started my strip, I'm still planning it at the moment, but what I can say, like others have, is that if you aren't having fun then there's something wrong.

Also, your art will improve over time.  Take a look at the artwork from some of the older comics' first strips compared to current ones. (CRFH!!! comes to mind)

Try to ignore your angst, too. :P That's probably the hardest thing.

I'm using Blogger to host my cartoons. I felt a bit cheap to begin with, but it's so easy to update compared to my old HTML site. They have their own image hosting, but I prefer to use ImageShack.us and direct link.

Hoverthrone:
Someone already said it, but set a schedule as soon as you know how fast you can spew these things out. It's really worked to keep me going.

Truth be told, more than anything, I regard that as 8 hours of my life I'll never get back. Eh. Art for art's sake, I suppose.

I've been thinking about trying my hand at running a webcomic for a few months now... I think I could probably put together something decent. Problem is, between school and my band (I'll wait until we don't suck before I do any shameless plugging), and not to mention my pathological inability to adhere to any sort of schedule, I know I couldn't keep up with it. But come to think of it, I'd rather do a Flash series, anyway.

*insert silly name here*:
Don't worry if youre not happy with your artwork at first, As you draw you improve, and you never really notice it until you look back at your old stuff and think "holy shit, I didnt know how much this has changed".  Teh more you draw a charachter the better you get, also, If you draw something randomly, never ever throw it way, save it and look back at it from time to time.  The comic i Draw was started by a random drawing of a toaster with a machine gun.

I've been doing that comic in sketch books for ages, so i've basically got 2 big sketchbooks full of strips of varying quality, and i still have no scanner or funds to buy one.  Suffice to say, when i finally get one (legally or otherwise) Ill have the most updated web comic in history (100 strips every day, booh yah) well..for mabye 2 days.
