re: Do you maintain a schedule for creation of your comic? Do you use a buffer?

@ArtCrumbs The morning schedule came about because originally I would work on the comic at night after my kids were asleep, but it was far too easy to stay up late, thinking "I'll just do this one last thing, then call it a night"... But then I'd find another tweak I'd want to make, and another, and before I knew it, it was 2 am. I ended up...

re: Do you maintain a schedule for creation of your comic? Do you use a buffer?

I do work on my comic on a regular schedule - every weekday morning I do about an hour and a half on it - but I long ago abandoned the idea of trying to keep a regular schedule to post pages. So I have no buffer, I just try to make each page look as good as I possibly can, however long that takes. I find it is a lot less stressful that way.

re: Do you have certain shows or games you go to for advice or inspiration?

@ArtCrumbs Yeah, I've read Uzumaki, it was quite disturbing! Horror in comics is hard to do, so I always admire a creator like Ito who can actually pull it off!

re: Do you have certain shows or games you go to for advice or inspiration?

Not shows or games, but when I want a jolt of inspiration I usually read one or more of the following:
- any 1970s Jack Kirby comic
- Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo
- anything by Naoki Urasawa
- an EC comic story, especially something by Will Elder, John Severin, Jack Davis
Basically, reading another comic that was masterfully done makes me want to try and...

Excellent essay, ArtCrumbs! I've been in a bit of a creative block funk lately, myself, I think mainly due to stress and exhaustion from stuff outside of comic-making. Starting to get back in the saddle in the last few days, though!

re: Characters you really related to

Sorry if this is too heavy, but when I was a little kid with newly-divorced parents I related to Mr Spock from Star Trek. I had a lot of emotions to process (obviously) and seeing a character on TV who was able to control his emotions and not let them overwhelm him helped me to at least attempt to control my own, at that time. (I later realized as...

re: Comic Book Podcasts

My favorite podcast is Comic Book Club Live! They record weekly, the review the week's new comics and almost always interview at least one creator. They have a lot of indy creators on to promote their upcoming Kickstarters or newly released comics. It's also streamed live on YouTube and Crowdcast each week. https://comicbookclublive.com/

re: When you have a character and you can't come up with a story for them.

I usually take the "character first" approach - work out the character's personality and background, etc. and then figure out a story for them to work in. Like with my character Steamroller Man, for example - he's a character who wants to do good and be a hero, but his power is basically destroying things, so he often does more harm than good....
