Have you ever done a tally of all the comics you've ever done?

This is a list of all the comic pages and strips (that I can remember) I've done since 1990.

It's a lot.

I need to do more....

I did a lot before but I can't possibly remember all those. They're not very good anyway, just high school/middle school stuff, really...

It's kind of neatly retrospective to do one of these, gets you thinking of where you've come from.

i been doing comics for close to ten years now and i have no idea how many pages , if i had to guess i would say over a thousand, but im afraid to count , cuz it seems like bad luck somehow , maybe im just being paranoid. it's still wayy less than i intended , i wanted to make 1000 pages every year , but that just seems kinda impossible now that i think about it , Stupid space-time !

I keep a tally, but damn...its not as detailed as yours.

I started putting my drawings into "comics" around 8 or 9. I just made one of spawn at the time. i did a couple of "issues" with my friend. I wish i still had them somewhere they were KLASSIK.

Then after that I got into dragonball z and did some fan issues...about 100 or so. While doing that, I did some mini-side comics for fun of my own characters, but nothing that really lasted.

Until I got to about 9th grade, when i created a character called SAMURAI BOB *ironically, the tv show SAMURAI JACK debuted about 4 months after i came up with my idea, but the stories were not related in any way*. I did SAMURAI BOB all the way till senior year when i finished it. I also went back and did a prequel, PROLOGUE. I currently have both "series" in plastic cover sheets in a huge binder. the thing weighs around 40 lbs and is over 1000 pages long. I thought about scanning it in but that would take forever.

so after i finished SAMURAI BOB, I stopped doing "serious" comics, and i wrote a story called MOO GOO PAI AND THE ARMY OF HORROR. It was about a character based on me fighting ninjas and zombies and overall randomness. I did some pages of that, but also around that time (2003) i joined penciljack.com and was working on improving my art.

The next sequential art i did after that was a 24 hour comic in 2006. Then I did LUIS. *which i will finish uploading, one day* Then in 2007 I did SMOKAR: CUZ HE SMOKES SUCKAS, IN: T3H MONSTAR! which is on drunkduck.

at the end of 2007 around christmas time, I did BATMAN AND ROBIN IN THE GREATEST STORY EVAR! that was my first time drawing a comic on huge paper *i did it on 20x24 paper and took pics of it because it was too big to scan* it was also the first time i inked a comic with only brush.

finally, in mid-08, I came up with the idea for Kung Fu Komix, after watching the movie Kung Fu Hustle.


and there you have it.

"Kung Fu Komix IS...hardcore martial art action all the way. 8/10" -Harkovast
"Kung Fu Komix is that rare comic that is made with heart and love of the medium, and it delivers" -Zenstrive
"Kung Fu Komix is...so awesome" -threeeyeswurm
"Kung Fu Komix is..told with all the stupid exuberance of the genre it parodies" -The Real Macabre

hmm... I might not have a list that great... but

2008
Din Krakatau = 96 pages finished, 11 as pencils only, 21 more planned.

1997-2007
non-Din Krakatau short stories =15 pages, out of which a couple needs to be scanned and letttered, but the art is done.

that gives me 122 pages. 143 once I'm done with chapter 4 of Din Krakatau.

Not included:
- all the comics I drew as a kid, from 1985 to 1993 or 1994. (there's only one surviving "magazine" there that runs for about 100 pages, there were about 10 more of various lenght)
- several pre-1997 unfinished projects (for example my shadow fighter/street fighter-inspired title... about a tournament, this one I remember got stuck at couple of pages as I couldn't draw one character properly and I never finished it).

I noticed one thing. If I manage to finish Din Krakatau and do the first chapter of my second project, I'll have 150 pages ready. It'll mean that in a space of 12 months I drew ten times more than in the previous 11 years!


As for 1000 pages a year? That is possible, but you'd have to do roughly three pages a day. that means that either you have to be capable of finishing a page in one hour (and do two pages every weekday and then spend the weekend doing six pages a day) OR this is your day job. I can get to three and a half pencilled on a good day (which sadly doesn't happen often enough).

But you know what? 2009, I'm aiming for 1000 pages, or at least 500 :D

I don't do much. I started in 2007, only because reality hit me that I'd never find an artist to bring my stories to life, so I had to try to do it myself.

Used Books (started in January 2007)

ONLINE
62 chapters
625 pages

QUEUED (already uploaded)
5 pages

PENCILS DONE (but not the finishing stuff)
14 chapters
127 pages

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gelotology

3 strips (just started this week, so I'm doing okay)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other (non-ongoing) projects

Midsummer Night's Dream
12 pages

Community Project Contributions:
~15 pages

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Um, 787 pages total or something right around that number. (Not counting pin-ups, coverart, and fanart)

Hmm, let's see...

24 strips of Errantry (which was basically Salt in larval form)
20 (or so) pages for Community Projects
6 pages for the Cameo Caper
-----
143 pages! (if you count 3 strips per page)

Not bad if you think I just started drawing in 2006 ^.^
(Clarification: Started drawing non-stick people in 2006)

Going in backwards order:

2003 - 2008
Due East (2003 - present) - 107 pages (and about 20 filler/fan art pages)
Off Hours (December 2007 - present) - 54 pages (and 1 Christmas filler)
AR-MEN # 147 - Series finale (Early 2007) - 35 pages (and 2 "blooper" pages)

1980 - 2001
Second edition of series
The AR-MEN - Issues 1 - 146 (1980 - 1996)
About 20 pages each, except for double-sized issues
6 Annuals (About 40 - 50 pages each)
2 Special Editions (25 - 35 pages each)
3 Giant-Sized Issues (50 - 77 pages each)

I also did 2 comic strips, in attempts to get into the University of Texas student newspaper. Little did I realize the hoops someone had to jump through if they weren't a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend of the staff...

Joe's Generic Strip (1991) - 30 strips - A freshman geek who's majoring in Physics gets in a freakish accident at one of UT's experimental sciences labs. Now, when night comes, he turns into -- *gasp* -- a long-haired thrasher named Matt Metalhead! Matt also attracted the attention of a satanic beautiful female metalhead named Irma who follows Matt until he turns back into Joe. Oh, and one morning, Joe wakes up to find himself married to Irma...and she's pregnant with his child. Oh, the dangers of having more than one personality!

Caution: Party Zone (1988) 30 strips. A group a pot-smoking college students happen upon an ancient book of earth-shatteringly powerful spells (from the student library, of course!) and bring it to a party. They then try to use it to order a pizza and SHAKAZOOOOM -- all chaos breaks loose! Oh, but they do use the book to save a magic-wielding alien from his evil brother and snatch the "good" brother to Earth. So of course, the evil brother follows! Conflict ensues...sort of?

The Star Men (Original superhero team created by a friend of mine, he passed it to me when he didn't want to do it any more)
- I started at issue #80 and went through issue #89 (1985 - 1991)

The New Mutants (Fan fiction) (1983)
About 35 issues (20 pages each)

Lupine and the Cat (original characters - suffered from "Mary Sue On Crack Syndrome" but fun to write)
(1983 - 1985)
About 40 issues (20 pages each)

AR-MEN (Original Superhero team)
First edition/trial run AR-MEN 1 - 10 (1980)

Has anyone's eyes glazed over yet? Sorry for the long list, but you asked! lol!

That's around 5500 pages? Wow, nice :D

Too bad I don't have any of my early comics anymore (other than one volume that miraculously survived), I could add somewhere between 1000-2000 to my count.

Holy crap, to a person who's only made one comic my mind is boggling at how many you all have made. 0_o

I started drawing comics about four years ago in fourth grade. I'm in eighth now. I've thrown away plenty of my old work but if I could count up all the pages of comics I've drawn, it's probably well over 2,000.

Not counting the countless number of single page, 24 hour or short format comics, ( Less than 5 pages. ) I've really only made 3. An old comic I used to blow off doing real work back in high school art, Last Words and one that I'm currently trying to figure out.

I'm a bit like Skullbie in that I seem to pick one and stick with it I guess.
