Kind of an Important question regarding my comic projects.

Posted by Le-Radji - 1 day ago


First, I hope you all had good holidays and that 2025 started good for you.


Here's the thing: I have spoken often about my main project: DOGGOZ.

But I have TONS of little short stories I wanna tell and show.

Among others I got:

A short two pages comic with orcs in it

A 5 pages Biopunk story

A 30 pages or so idea for a tournament story with countries of the world making their national emblem/mascot fight

Two guys imagining what WW1 would have been with magic and shit (it's basically trench crusade before I even heard about the game)

And a fairytale inspired story about a bug knight and his trusty apothecary sidekick , I even got visual of that one:

So, the question is: Should I spend time and effort making those stories while slowing DOGGOZ production this year? (Yeah I know, the first DOGGOZ story isn't out yet.)


I planned to do at least three doggoz short stories this year: an intro story, then a little adventure to better introduce Chica and her world, then some secondary characters. SO the idea would be: do the intro comic, then make a small story, then DOGGOZ, then a small story...


Would YOU like to see those stories?

I say you should take several months to work on different things. Like half of this year is spent on the stories, the rest on Doggoz. That way, both parts are advanced. Besides, it would be cool to see what other ideas you have cooking up. So, it's up to you.

the more difficult part will be to juggle that with commissions

try to focus on the main thing, but its fine to dip into other stories if yer feelin it

It's okay if you need to switch to other stories to refresh your mind.

yeah, focusing on teh same thing all the time can be tiring after a while. That's how my first comic project failed

The example you gave at the end sounds perfectly fine with me. But overall, I honestly think you should do what you want. Worry less about what others want, more about what you feel is productive to your own creative endeavors and what matters more to you personally. I have a friend who writes/reads fics and she's mentioned several instances of followers getting rowdy anytime a writer decides to stray from what *they* wanted to see from them, and in turn brings so much stress to something that is meant to be enjoyed. One of these writers even ended up quitting, too. So, honestly, try not to consider the audience over yourself too much. What you want is arguably more important than what we want. I'm sure we'll be here regardless, y'know?

Its important to have focus. Juggling multiple projects at the same time can be difficult and frustrating.

@Le-Radji yea that too. Well that can leave 4 months for each category. Spend 1 month in between for commisions. For example: 2 months for (stories), 1 month commission. 2 months for (Doggoz), 1 month commission. Sounds complicated on paper but I'm sure you'll manage the way you do it.

realistically i'll need to do a bit more commission because I plan to put some money aside, but sounds manageable ye
