I'd asked years ago I think. Just wondering as I believe we need to know the marketing end of this business. I've worked in comics and animation a long time and rarely see any pros in IM.
I work in animation although I have long since abandoned the 2D and traditional animation (of course the principles still apply) and gone over to 3D animation. I used to create comic strips in school and college, they eventually turned into full comic books hand drawn and such of course. I used to gift them out to the college after abusing the photocopier lol and was often told to go somewhere with them but I had no idea what to do at the time. I didn't really want to and I think half the problem was I just didn't know where to go with them or how to get anywhere with it. Well I have sent you a private message to talk further but I have had an idea for a long time for something regarding this topic but as I do not have the funds saved to throw into the project at this time I have chosen to go forward with another that I can accomplish with much less funding and once I have the funds or a keen programmer/web developer available I will go forward with it. Until then I only have my documentation and research for that "idea" which I am preparing to get on Kickstarter to help obtain funding for eventually. I don't know exactly when though. I would like to see my current project through until it's stable before moving on... My current project is a Pixel Art tutorial site for indie game devs. Intended to be for the most part 100% free =]
