Hi there, I just have a quick question to put out there to the Oprano community in regards to a website I have, as I'm looking for some ideas or suggestions on what to do with it.
I run a small adult webmaster comic called YugSTAR.com (http://www.yugstar.com). It was a project I started up because I felt the 6 years experience I had in the adult internet industry afforded me a great perspective into the ridiculousness of many aspects of the business. I also had alot of great stories and humorous situations from other people in the industry which I was planning on using. I had also been wanting to start some sort of web cartoon, to improve my skills and drawing style in that respect.
Unfortunately, time got in the way, and only 6 comics were successfully drawn. Although the comic is featured on alot of other webmaster resource sites, as well as the oprano sexine, it didn't really take off the way I had hoped, and for a project that took alot of time for no money, I just couldn't justify continuing the cartoons.
I have since practically moved out of the adult industry and am running a few of my own businesses as well as becoming a successful commercial web graphic designer. I also run another web comic now, which is sponsored, which means the effort and time pays off (its AustralianGamer.com (http://www.australiangamer.com) if you’re interested)
My question to the Oprano community is in regards to the Yugstar.com website. Should I just forget about the website and the comics, are they not really that appropriate or funny? Should I try to seek out adult affiliate programs to see if they would want to feature or sponsor the site? Should the content be more relevant to modern webmaster going-ons, instead of following a story of a non-specific adult internet company with stereo-typical characters?
I had hoped down the track to incorporate industry 'celebrities' in the comics, refer to current events in the industry (once the initial characters had been setup), and hopefully make it viable and make it worth my while to keep running.
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers :)
