On the Quackcast this week, we talked about the MISTAKES we make when making our webcomics. In the end, we agreed that the biggest mistake one can make is not creating their webcomics in the first place!
It's easy to get lost in uncertainty, anxiety and ...
Mumblecore in Webcomics
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 20, 2015
There is a slightly odd trend in screenwriting for indie films called Mumblecore where the actors are given a very minimal to non-existent script to work from and are forced into creating natural dialogue on the spot. I believe the director has a general story outline of where he or ...
FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Inner Turmoil in Comics
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 17, 2014
Comics are a great medium for action-heavy stories, but showing inner conflict without massive walls of text can be difficult. The other day I picked up a very disappointing graphic novel version of “Frankenstein” - it read like an illustrated summary of the book, not reflecting any of the angst and ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - A New Way Forward for DrunkDuck
HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 25, 2014
After some drama with the website the other day (I'm sure most of you noticed that the site was down for a time) and some cleverness on the part of ozoneocean, I'm writing my first newspost with DD officially under community control.

The Balancing Act of the Real World and Creating Webcomics
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, July 21, 2014
My personality appears extroverted in the right social situations when I am surrounded by like-minded people, however I know deep down that I am truly an introvert because I recharge when I am by myself and drawing.
When I first started getting serious about webcomics in college, there were many ...
Digital Sketching in a Café with a Tablet in My Hand
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, June 2, 2014
