Destiny Thwarted

Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 14, 2023



I was just watching a commentary on The Empire Strikes Back, and the person had an interesting take on things. She was talking about the sequences where Luke sees a vision of his friends in pain, and Yoda tells him he's seeing the future. Will they die? It's ...

AI, Comics, and DD

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 25, 2023



You might have noticed a forum thread discussing whether AI comics should be hosted on the Duck. As always, big decisions on TOS or policy are discussed with the community on the Duck before we take any decisions. Whether DD will be hosting AI comics or not is one such ...

Time Stand Still

Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2023



Time doesn't really exist in comics. Someone can blast through multiple pages in seconds, or linger on one panel for years. Well, that would be rare. But you see what I'm saying.

What if you want to make your readers slow down? To give your pages the pace ...

They Make You Believe

Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 24, 2023




A long time ago I read something, I think an interview with a respected screenwriter or something, where he brought up the movie “Rain Man”.
