Question about online comics..

I just came upon this site and didn't know if I should ask this here or not, but..

I've been looking over things and I'm really interested in learning how to use poser to draw 3D comic like characters and stories, I have recently bought the newest version, and I was wondering how long could it take to get good at making 3D comics(or at least draw the art minus the stories)?

Is it something that takes years of perfecting, or could I do it with a few hours a day in a couple months?

I'll use a good looking comic example:

I just picked something I thought looked good on here. I want to know what kind of investment this would take to learn how to create the art(the story is a whole other level I know lol.. but just wondering about the art for now)

I apologize if I shouldn't ask this here, but I don't know where to ask it, thank you. I just think it'd be very entertaining being able to create stories with graphics like this.

Wow. That's not an easy question to answer. A lot depends on what talents you have. Do you already draw? Do you have an eye for comics and how the art works in them? Is the only thing you need to learn Poser or do you need to learn the principles of good comic art as well?

Poser is not too hard to learn, but getting really good at it can take years. It can also take only a few months if you have a knack and are willing to read the manual and experiment.
