I have to say, I am a little bit scared, and I will explain why.
When I started to develop my webcomic, I decided to post my comic five days a week. This would be one black and white strip a day, Monday through Thursday, and a double sized color strip on Friday. This way people could get into a habit of checking the comic weekdaily, and the Friday color strip could be the end-of-week bonus like the color Sunday newspaper comics. Some webcomics post less often, like Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but I really wanted to get more content than that out there. More comics a week equals more content for people to enjoy, and that means more visits to my website, and hopefully more of an audience. Also, having a schedule really keeps me motivated. I have motivation problems (I’m lazy). So I set the goal to five strips a week.
I decided to make two months worth of strips before I posted anything. This would give me a good decent buffer of strips in case I fell behind in the future. Because I was just beginning, I would give myself as much time as I needed to come up with the first month of strips. Then for the second month’s worth of strips I would set a deadline and do a weeks worth of strips every week for four weeks, to get me into the groove. Then I would start posting the strips five times a week.
There was so much to do. For the first month’s worth of strips I had to come up with templates for the strips and then developed a work pipeline going from thumbnail sketches to full sized roughs to final art. I worked on designs and personalities for the characters. I made decisions about what media to use, what fonts to use, and what color schemes to use. Writing was easy at first, but I found when I turned the script into a cartoon it took a LOT of rewriting to make it work. That first month of strips took me about three months.
Last night I finished the twentieth strip. The last of the first month’s worth. Now comes the second month’s worth. Now comes keeping on a schedule and doing a week’s worth of work in a week. This is why I am afraid. This is still going to be a LOT of work. I don’t want to back down and post less often. I really want to post a weekdaily strip. I feel it is important to set up a comic that posts often and posts regularly. But doing this much work in a week might be too much to handle, especially since there are still things to fugure out artistically and technically. And I still need to learn how to POST the comic…
This just might kill me. I’m scared.
I’m pretty happy with the silhouette test. The first two characters are pretty similar, but I think the differences are enough to make them work. 
I came up with the name Jet-Pack Jack, but the name was already taken.
