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

Post by Phinmagic »

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'm still coming from somewhere...but here's the tally of comic pages I've completed:

LleuGarnock: 112 pages & three covers (including buffer)

Previous online comic: 59 pages. I never realized it got that long. I might continue/redo it someday.

Antonia Rowles: six pages, never published

Naruto & Sasuke's English Paper Adventure (I loved that teacher): 22 pages

MegaBacon: about 4 pages, only one in the school paper

Harry Potter and the Rogue Snitch: 3 pages

There's a lot more random junk than I realized, bringing the total to 196 comic pages I can currently remember drawing. I'm sad that the fan comics are the only ones that are actually completed. That's just how I was in college, though; I had a hard time sticking with a character long enough to become attached to them, unless I already was. It's still school projects that have the best chance, though; LleuGarnock started out as one. I will eventually complete this comic. It will be at very least 250 pages and maybe as many as 500 or more, with the possibility of a sequel.

No, some of them I'm trying to forget.

I've been doing comics since I was a kid, and there's a load of stuff I've done during grade and high school, they weren't particularly thought-through, so they were made quickly. For a while I was also doing 1-2 page underground comics, and I don't have a track of where all those pages ended.
It would be an impossible task...

Last time I was working on a comic, I hit about 220 before burning out.

NOW. ON TO A THOUSAND

Post by Cope »

If you only include all the stuff I've done since I started doing webcomics, I think the number of pages would be close to 750 by now. In the nine years before then? I have no idea. Probably far fewer.

Over nine-thousand!

...Well, okay, probably not that much, but I wrote/drew over 500 strips/pages for Freedom Fries... wrote/drew six for an aborted comic called Afflicted (that I later wrote a terrible 22-page script for that I never used)... wrote almost 100 for Deep... wrote a first chapter for OR... recently wrote two stories for an upcoming project, so that's 15 pages... and then I think I've got about another 100 or so pages of bits & pieces of unused stories floating around my hard drive and notebooks... & I've done at least a few dozen random pages/strips for jams and such (I think I did around 15 just for the Shmoe Jam)... hey, I guess I've been a little more prolific than I thought! Although, most of that stuff was more than two years ago, so it does seem pretty distant.

edit: I just remembered that I'd drawn a decent amount of comics before Freedom Fries... did a fantasy epic with a friend back in elementary school called Quest For the Future... South Park-James Bond parody in middle school called Kenny Bond: License to Be Killed... and then in high school I did a few comics where Jesus hunts for Al-Qaeda on the moon... eh heh heh...

My Reckless Youth comic folder contains 419 pages not counting fillers but including Title pages

Big hand sorta Chick has a miserably low 14 pages (MORE MUST BE DONE!)

Hellroy Also has 14 pages, but some of those are tiny

The Road trip died at 30 pages

Potato Smiles should count as three pages really

Journal comic, claude will fight you, has 65 in the online archive...

6 pages of Captain Claude

A 20 page convention special, a 24 page convention special and a 28 page convention special, minus covers and into pages... 62 pages of comic

2 two page anthology shorts - 4

And a shtload of jam stuff I wont count.




617 pages of comic work (including RY title pages). cripes.

There's also the 300 or so RY strips that came before webcomics, a photocopied superhero thing and convention special prior to the others that i forgot the number of pages for. Theres an essay in comic form i did for school which probably amounted to twenty pages at most, and stuff i did when I was very very young. Counting all that stuff I've gotta be nearing a thousand or so.

Fuck it. with the jam stuff I must be well over 1000

Well lessee.
I'm only going to count webcomics, because if I go off on a tangent about the comics I did in high school, plus some of the really random wtf comics I made in elementary school, we'll be here all day. Also I lost most of those, which is too bad because they were GOLD.

Pimpette is currently sitting at 160 (not counting extra comics or "Ask A Question Comics" which would probably add only another 10 - 20)
Shenanigan is currently sitting at... 16. (Interesting coincidence)
Pumbum sits at three... with thirteen more roughed out & waiting for colours.

So, not a whole lot altogether.
I am lazy.

Well for Lost Da Comick there's 4 strips with less than 20 pages total, for Limaball there's 1 episode with 35 pages and Meiosis is my biggest (and bestest) project.

Amazingly enough, I still have most of my older comic endeavours, except the first one. It was horribly done, but the teacher liked it so much I let her keep it.

Jack Rabbit (1998): 6 comics
Dave & Jermane (1998): 20 comics
A Day In the Life (1999): 30 comics
Fergo and Enrique (2001-02): 150 comics
Robin Hood and His Merry Men (2002): 10 comics
Mac & Cheese (2002): 4 comics
Why Me? (2002): 14 comics
World of Fizz (2002-03, 2005, 2007-): 475 comics and counting

60 pages for Between Places, including the two I redid... not including the pencil sketches that didn't make it through. I have 12 pencilled pages done now...

Before that... uhm... 10 for Blue, some in pencil sketch stages... two for some fic illustration I felt like doing, two for another random scene illustration, and my first one was some manga page to also illustrate a scene. I think there was two for another scene that never made it past pencils, eh, a handful that were never inked. Blue was the furthest I ever got, it was the prologue, I had an outline for the story, it was a really good story, actually... I just... I inked a few pages, experimented with coloring a couple, and dropped it. I think two are on my DeviantArt, one's been scrapped because it was THAT bad. I've drawn less than 100 comic pages over my life, I've inked... uhm... well, 13 for BP, less than 20 pages, and before BP, I'd colored five.

BP is my first long-range comic project. No, I don't start small much. XD I haven't been drawing comics all my life. But I have been painting since I was 14, and I think that shows with my stylistic choices.

Current total says 346 on my mirror, yet 342 on the guide, how odd.

I've worked on a lot of failed/hiatus'd projects, so anything outside of my main comic count I don't really see as anything to be proud of : P. In fact I didn't realize just how many times I have failed in the past until I made this list. Anyway these are basically all the comics I have done till now.

Emergency Exit First Round: 24
Emergency Exit Second Round (my current and only active comic, however I occasionally work with other artists): 1,003
Spooky Candy: Somewhere around 6, dorky little school project. I don't even have them anymore.
Undead Friend First Round: 23 (done for another school project, but needed to be redone)
Undead Friend Second Round: 327 (haitus'd, plan to redo it sometime after college)
EE Side Comics: 6
Guest Comics: 21
Ready or Not: 6 (I was one of a few artists, I dropped out)
SuperFreaks: 7 (dropped)
Etale: 1 (random thing that never made it)
Comic Jams: 1 (I'm not good at these!)

Something like 1425 then. Not quite that much most likely considering the crossovers I do.

Parallel Dementia: 468 so far including cover pages and a convention teaser (though due to crossovers about 90 pages were done by NJ)
My contribution to Deep: 12
Superfreaks (colorist): 7
The Colosseum tournament: 8
The Cure tournament: 2 so far...
Post (a one man jam for Cornstalker): 54
Milk in the Pantry: 16

So totaling about 567 pages Plus various jams and guest strips I've lost track of, as well as the little failed comics from when I was a lad.

It's hard to say. Back when I did sprite comics (gasp) I did a ton of guest strips and one-shot stories that have since disappeared from the Internet. But I'll guess it was around 250 overall. Then there was Capture the Flag, which lasted about 30 pages, and my current one's up to 42. I probably have hundreds of unpublished crap from my childhood and high school (and maybe a few from recent years).

The guide says I've got 1,576 comics up, though a there's a few weeks of guest comics in there and some random other stuff, so a bit less than that, but probably above 1,500.

As for cataloging all of them I'm slowly working on cataloging the whole damn Legostar Galactica universe, including information about every "episode" but that's slow going here
