It's true. Original content in any niche has potential, and original toon content is probably a gold mine.

It's true!

I don't have to pay models, labor costs, legals. Just an artpad and scanner and photoshop. None of that model age verification nonsense either.

I work in mainstream comics and animation/tv/movies/radio. I did this site as a protest and a joke but after just a few days it started making money! My site is different because I teach how to draw so much of my site time is emailing back and forth or IMming students and video conferencing drawing etc. Made lots of friends!

I need to do more gallery submitting and go back to finishing up my affiliate program.

Just a few tweaks and I'll have some awesome content and affiliate program for webmasters.

I have like 4 graphics/animation software programs I'm studying at same time. I need to hire a small staff but I'm busy re-studying real estate and financing too. A full plate!

Not putting all your eggs in one basket, smart.

The truth is, if the bulk of us tried our hand at drawing, the best we'd probably come up with is stick figures or emoticons bumping uglies

Edit: (what animation programs are you learning?)

Well the two big programs are Flash and then Maya.

Maya is a super advanced 3D animation software monster. It's what most movie studios use to do those CG movies (computer generated movies) like Happy Feet or Cars or the new one Surf's Up.

The menu board on this thing makes the Space Shuttle's dashboard look like a VW Bug's dashboard.

The only problems I've ever run into while doing toons on the web outside of the normal stuff are the greedy, hateful competitors. They just don't get the fact that there's an abundance of surfers no need to sabotage one another. Them guys usually get beat down and end up on crack in Vegas bumming money.
