Advice on Selling Digital Comics?📚

I am not saying I am doing comics now or anytime soon, more so I am looking into some options of doing so and would just like the information if I decided to try it when I can. Clip studio is really great for comic making on that front and I'd be really curious in exploring the features it gives.

A lot more under the cut, it's a long post but I'd really love if people looked it over and helped me out! Reblogs are much appreciated and thank you for those that share and help!😭💖✨

Some of my thoughts with it:

Pages will be a A4 comic page style in left to right reading format, no physicals/prints will be thought for and supported (as in I won't make physicals myself or allow selling from others, but I will be fine with private prints for yourself and friends. I just can't guarantee the comic will be up to printing standards!).

Comics would range in Fandom and Original on topics in SFW to NSFW (non-sexual and sexual), so it needs to be a place that allows all of that. I work around various stuff and like exploring topics in my works, I don't want to be stuck to a SFW or NSFW only side of things.

They would be coming out in full with a pdf and png formats, not a 'by chapter' release. Would be mostly a 1 shot or Dojin styled comics but who knows if I end up liking it a lot, I might do multi-chapters, etc.

I was thinking of prices ranging from 5$ to 30$ counting on the length and style of comic (monotone lower, color higher).

Would like being able to pay for the comics to have multiple available options (card, paypal, etc). This is low priority but preferred.

My first thought was Itchio, cause of the light page customization along with it. But before I am sold on using that I wanted to ask around for advice from others that maybe do it too?

Some sites I won't be using though; - Nothing Subscriber Based (patron and the likes) - Gumroad - Webtoon (not meant for that format)

Also how hard is it to post and maintain more than one place to buy for low energy people? I'd like to hear from other people how that goes (and how tasking it can be). Kofi and Etsy were on my mind, but more looking at Itchio right now. And of course I am open to looking at anything else people recommend!

On a last note, how would peps feel about buying high resolution of artworks like the idea of an artbook but just the png and gif files instead of a pdf? I was pondering the idea along with comics though not sure if I should even try posting old art now or wait for just this year and go forward from there. Also should I focus purely on fanart or all of it? I'd be find doing a package deal or something, just thought it'd be fun as well.

I would not include commissions, adopts/customs, and gift art of original characters ever. Only works with my characters in it or is fanart!

Architecture student here to say that you're popping off with the perspective! I like the casual language to it that gives the feeling of philza writing it!! Like the man has no architecture education whatsoever but he has the ⭐️ life knowledge ⭐️ which is why he's so versatile with the ⭐️ arts ⭐️ !! Honestly one of my fave hcs of him bc u know... mans old asf lol also ur drawings are reminding me of the ones I have on my final fantasy artbooks SO YEAH. You're doing a great work with these wolfy, can't wait to have my hands on them (if u decide selling them ofc!)

THANK YOUU IM GLAD

I most looked up "architecture sketches" and referenced that LMAO so I'm glad it turned out okay

And yeeeee one of my favorite hcs for h!Phil is that he does art, though I think personally he'd be a charcoal kinda guy

But charcoal is hard to emulate digitally so watercolor it is KEKW

I just wanted to pop in and ask if your NSFW fitzier comic is going to be in the Fitzier Artbook, or is that still gonna be a Patreon only thing? I can't WAIT to order my copy of the artbook!!

Thank you!!

the first part of the NSFW Comic (titled Lazy Sunday) is in the digital edition of the artbook and on Patreon only.

Once I’ve completed the comic, I will probably put a digital version into my store!

Hi, I just wanted to say that my friend and I have just completed the entire game and it has such a fantastic story and we love it so much! Great job! We can't wait for your next game~ (p.s Is there any way we can get something like bonus room with all the illustrations/CGs along with fun facts?)

Thank you for playing it! I don’t think I’ll make another game, but I���m glad you enjoyed Aria’s Story!

Yes! I’m currently working on an artbook, it will contain the CGs of the game and more information about the characters! It will be a free digital artbook, more information about it here!
