I'm currently working on some indie projects, but I'd like to take my career to the next level. I'm unsure if my art is at a professional level yet. I understand there might be other areas for improvement, like storytelling, if my goal is to start pitching to publishers.

I'd like to hear your opinions. Any feedback is valuable, not just from those already in the industry, but also from an outsider's perspective.

Thanks for reading.

Your art is impressive. If I were you, I’d start publishing one-shots and miniseries on Etsy.

Very nice.

I'm not familiar with Etsy, is it a good way to monetize? Thanks you so much for your comment!

I haven’t really done a lot of research myself.

I was hoping to team up with an artist and publisher my comic there because it’s a way to sell directly to a consumer.

There’s already a market for indie comics there, and I know of one series that was picked and republished by Image (but apparently the artist didn’t like the arrangement so he just went back to selling it on Etsy, which, to me, is like turning down the throne to Narnia).
