4gb, definitely not enough.
Also: 6000x6000pixels at 600 dpi is 10×10 inches, but what matters for memory consumption is the size of the canvas not dpi.

How much RAM did your machine have for such a 6000×6000 image (what DPI?) with ~25 layers?

And while I’m here, I guess I’ll just mention my admiration for the extreme cuteness of the artwork. Yeah, very nice.

Probably the best way to not feel like you’re neglecting either comic would be to say that you will do this many of this comic and then this many of that comic and then repeat keeping the numbers consistent.
I’m sure we’ll forgive you if you decide to do up to about 1:3 ratio or are lacking inspiration for one and want to work on the other.
(just as long as you give a reason :P)

If you want to devote more time to both comics there’s a simple solution. Just clone yourself!

I was thinking about it, but I it would probably be best if I just kept everything on one site. At least for now.

A lot of these other comic ideas I have range from 10-50 pages and aren’t really worth setting up extra sites for, fragmenting the reader base and everything. Instead they could serve as intermissions between AHS chapters.
IFF might go on for longer, but it’s still going to be nowhere near close to AHS, which will likely have thousands of pages once all is said and done.

Also, I can understand how one might not be on board with IFF yet. There’s only a handful pages so far, not really enough to form a solid opinion on. Hell I didn’t even name one of the main characters yet.

Usually when people give this advice it is right after a disaster, when it is the least useful and the most snarky piece of text one can manage. I don’t want to be one of those people so, here it goes in advance:

Backups, multiple, everywhere. Offline, online, synced, offsite, onsite, buried in the woods. Backups.

In reply to Saskyou.

Also, I didn’t reply to the last page about having a separate site for this comic, but maybe you could get a new domain, (idk, called DrakeThePleadingCat.net) and you could make subdomains (ahs.drakethepleadingcat.net and iff.drakethepleadingcat.net) and the main site could contain only links to the comics you make (that is, http://www.drakethepleadingcat.net – and it doesn’t have to be called that, could be any brand you want to give it)
I am not sure how your webhosting works, but if it doesn’t let you stretch out a little bit, maybe you should change 😀
Also, if you payed forward a few years, you might want to wait with that, but that would be the most professional looking thing I can imagine. You could later make more subdomains for the stories you think out.
But then again, I don’t know what your actual possibilities are, so this is just a suggestion :3
