Volume 1 questions.
Added 2024-08-26 16:34:11 +0000 UTCTwo things:
1) Should I draw a volume cover page for volume 1?
2) Is around $30USD a good price for what I consider $41 worth of work? Or still too high for a digital PDF of porn?
Currently fixing all of the visual and written errors of Chapter 1-8. And cleaning up and writing the bad ends. A lot of work, but should be done this week for a release of Volume 1 as a product, not part of patron library.
I will probably make the bad end sketches, but not the writing, available for the "Shiny and Gassy" tier here. I don't know yet, but i might doodle scat for these bad ends. I can stomach it if I only do it for under an hour, but I don't want to draw something that takes a dozen or more hours to do with content I mostly dislike. Literally polishing a turd.
I don't think I should draw a volume 1 cover. As it would delay Volume 1 until september, make me take more time before I start more Violets comic. And really no one will care much as its just SFW cute sutff about Violet. The only reason I can think TO do it is if I was publishing each Volume physically, as each Volume (1-3) has a completely different tone.
I know I'll be interested in drawing a cover page for the full comic release of Volume 1-3 combined into a mega omnibus. As I definitely will sell the comic physically if I ever get to that point. Hardcover and large.
On the other topic, I'm very concerned about pricing and selling volume 1. Because I just went on expensive vacation with my siblings, about to spend all of my savings to buy a townhouse. And I just lost all my income because of gumroad. So thank you all who have subscribed here, taking a bit off my mind financially.
So if you have some ideas to sell Volume 1, I'd be interested in hearing. Maybe I should sell the chapters individually with the bad ends? Because a lot of people I talk about only care about a few of the chapters.
Would selling each Arc with bad ends be a good idea for cheaper option? Like:
- Chapter 1-3 American arc + bad ends
- Chapter 4-6 African arc + bad ends.
and soon as Chapter 9 released....
- Chapter 7-9 Indian arc + bad ends.
I think that is the only thing that would make me not feel bad for selling it so pricey as a whole volume, but it's literally nearly 5 years of work..
