Oh god yes. For a while, I felt like I was only drawing for my audience, not for myself (so I went on a long hiatus for this). I always go through drawing depressions where I just don't feel like I'm getting any better...

I always feel like quitting, but for whatever reason, I just can't... it's like killing a piece of myself..

But, it's satisfying to know that I haven't quit and that I have an idea on what I'm gonna do.

well, I made the decision...
I'm quitting for a while.
Need to regroup.

Well, be sure to come back!!
(I'll miss b/d, please come back fast!)

So I'm stuck with a lady forever wanting to pick up big talky creepy baby? :cry:

I'm actually quitting for some while for my own comics as well.

Actually, I quited for half a year already.

Hmm... should I come back?

That depends. Do you want to for you, or just because you think you need to? Remember, webcomics are all about you. You created them, you made them grow, and they are what they are now because of you. Fans won't enjoy a forced work as much as something you find fun.

Nope.

One of my earliest memories is of reading old Uncle Scrooge comics. Those books brought such happiness to me as a child, that there was never anything more I wanted than to do this, drawing comics, one way or another.

There are times I feel down, or like I don't have any reason to do it. But then I remind myself of just how important it is to me as an artist to tell this story.

I have a pretty bad habit of not giving feedback or commenting on other people's stories. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy them or read them. :)

Ultimately, as you noted, life does get in the way of things like this. I'm still looking for that job I need, and when I am feeling down or a little stressed, I don't feel like doing ANY of my creative outlets.

I think that's the closest I get to it, because if I let myself "rest", then it's harder for me to get back into the saddle and start up again.

"Have I ever considered quitting?"
Yes. So many times. I lost track.
I started the whole Webcomic 'thing' back in February of this year. I was considering it for a very long time, but it was then I finally got around to doing it.

I didn't write a script, and the pages weren't very well done. I only got to Page 4, before I quit.

Then there was a few more, a lot of changes, and like, 3 or 4 scripts later, I'm at my current point.

I can't quit now, I want to tell my story, and technically, haven't quit, just changed the story. I changed Ryu's look, Archound's look, and made a few new characters.

I'm doing most of the writing and pre-drawing right now. Other times I'd write and be like, "Oh, I hate this, I really hate this", but for some reason I just can't get enough of writing my script. I'm not digging the concepting too much. But, I realize it's something that has to be done.

I'm aiming to have a great webcomic. Original, pretty good art, pretty cool story, and have a decent amount of fans. I do have very high expectations, but who knows. It all depends on how many people are interested in the particular genre I have chosen.

I've even been told that my comic is very original for a webcomic. As most webcomics these days are (no offense) Sprite comics, Gaming comics, or horrible comics.

I'm just hoping to change that, I'm hoping to make a webcomic that just about everybody will love.

And I hope to have it run on for a very long time, but there will be an ending someday.

So, in conclusion, quitting is not an option. Ryu's Krew is now apart of my life. And I couldn't be happier.

I never considered quiting, to me its a hobby, and quitting would make a big hole in my life, well at least Im not planning to think about other hobby until Age of Ends is finished, and that will take a while, so yeah...Im staying...

NEVAR!!!!

Unless I die or Dasien reaches its conclusion, I will NEVER quit. I'm slow, but I'm no quitter.

Taking a break: Sure!
Quitting: NEVER!

I'm with a few of you. A break from time to time is very necessary. Quitting? This has always been a hobby of mine as a kid and it would like kriskas said, leave a hole in my creative world.

Still, best thoughts and wishes to you Midge as you re-group. I hope you return soon.

In the beginning of my webcomic making, I believed that the success part of making webcomics was not necessarily working harder on each page but the endurance to keep on going. Through making lots and lots of pages you get better/more successful.

The longer you wait in between updates, the harder it is to come back. So as a result I have been stubbornly keeping up with updates. Over time, I have forgotten quitting.

Now webcomics are more so thought as a daily routine. I can't imagine life without it. It's like brushing teeth....kinda.

I have thought of quiting but I don't like seeing things unfinished so I keep going. However, after I finish Crystal Dreams I might retire. Who knows.

Of course I have. I went through so many hiatuses it's not even funny.

Actually, yes it is. Hahahaha.

I'm trying my hardest not to quit, and really, with Mastorism, it hasn't even really crossed my mind yet.

The point where I began working on this version of Mastorism was a point where I leveled with myself that the reality of the expectation of being a "pro" in comics was this: Very low likelihood, and I could schlep for years only to be drawing someone else's comic! I mean, my goal is to do my OWN stuff, right? So, why not just do that now? So I am. And its so much more fun than any other comic project I've worked on, and, being a webcomic, I love the daily interaction-- Most print comics don't even have letters columns anymore.... but I digress.

Anyway, i guess you have to ask youself why you're doing it. For me, really, there's no other way. Comics are who I am, and making them is all I really want to do.
