Hmm I guess I'm technically a 4, but still a 1 in some areas...especially promotion, lol.
I'm relatively new to comics (professionally at least) and before RetroBlade I hadn't seriously made any for years, but I've worked as an animator, concept artist, illustrator and storyboard artist in games, advertising and books. I've also done English lit and creative writing classes, and love to write fiction and articles.
So yeah, lots of related experience, but a newbie (sort of) to the webcomics scene. I think because I've always wanted to make comics, I was putting it off and doing absolutely everything else first? Haha. Scared to go for the full dream or something.
I'm not interested in being hired for other comics projects at this point. Maybe 10 years ago or so I'd have been interested, but now I'm hella burned out from working for company agendas. I want to bring my own vision to life. I've had too many bad experiences with client and boss changes, larger teams with management issues and 'too many cooks', and projects getting canned because of budget cuts or lay-offs. For someone who puts their all into their work, it's heart breaking when that happens. SO much better to self publish, that way all your passion and hard work is an investment!
AND you get full control and get to go with all your own ideas, hah XD
It's probably way more sensible to stick to comics as a hobby though, especially if you have a mortgage, kids, live in a country that has ludicrously expensive healthcare... or other financial commitments...
