Continuity
Banes at 12:00AM, May 24, 2018How far can a Reboot go?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 19, 2018
So I came across this new announcement of a reboot (?) due in 2019 of the nostalgic cartoon Thundercats that most of us grew up with (fine, ok, I'm only dating myself with this).
I have always been partial to Thundercats, but not overly possessive. I didn't mind the ...
Designing a Cover
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 12, 2018
Why is it so haaaard?
For me at least. I really am stumped when it comes to drawing covers for my webcomics. So much so that I would always find clever (?) ways for other people to do them for me.

The Sizzle and the Steak
Banes at 12:00AM, May 10, 2018
For of all sad words of tongue and pen,

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, April 13, 2018
So for the last few posts I’ve been meaning to go back and finish off an idea that I had begun to explain, albeit poorly, but, as you can see, I have not. I know that there is more I could do with it; more I could delve into ...
Character Arcs Revisited
Banes at 12:00AM, April 12, 2018
A character starts in one state of being, and ends in a very different state of being.
The Character Arc in a nutshell!

Quackcast 369 - Propaganda and agendas
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, April 10, 2018 LISTEN!
This week's Quackcast was inspired by a newspost that Banes made about propaganda. We used that as a jumping off point to talk about political messages and social agendas in creative works- when it's deliberate and when it's not. Tantz Aerine made a great point that ...
