Last time I started talking about religion as a great umbrella term for a lot of facets of worldbuilding you can take into consideration when constructing the world of your story, be it webcomic, novel, series, or anything else.
This type of worldbuilding is especially prevalent in fantasy worlds, but ...
Religion (part 2)

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 26, 2022
So you may not have noticed but I have missed an update on WM.
I sorely feel that as a loss, because I've been so proud of not breaking my streak of regular updates for three years now.
It was hard telling myself not to pull a double all-nighter ...
It's the Peak of the Spooky Season!
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 30, 2021
So I want to talk about the Dread Persephone!
We are familiar with Persephone as the abducted bride of Hades, the floral, pastel-themed, light-hearted girl that brings about Spring and is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of nature and the harvest.
But is it really who she is?
No. No ...
Flipping off the Author
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 23, 2021
So Squid Game is a huge hit, and I'm glad I've been a kdrama fan before it was cool, apparently XD (though granted, it's been cool for a good while for a lot of people)
This is not an article about Squid Game, but it offers the ...
Writing Tools

Everyone has a different way of jotting down ideas, writing out their stories and planning their comic pages. (even if it may be on the walls too…)
When I was working on Scarred Eden (rip my baby project that’s on a reboot loop) I had a document of timelines ...
Consistency is Key
damehelsing at 12:00AM, April 18, 2021
So many people will tell you that consistency is key and in some areas, consistency is definitely key, but the only area I’ll be diving into today is art.
Is consistency really the key when it comes to art? I would say no but I will agree there are ...
Horror is in the Eye of the... Beholder?
damehelsing at 12:00AM, April 11, 2021
See what I did there? It’s an image of a Beholder… which normally has one giant eye right in the center of their face/body and the article is titled HORROR (the Beholder is scary looking) is in the EYE of the BEHOLDER? Yeah? No? Ok…
Seriously tho,

Resurrection
damehelsing at 12:00AM, April 4, 2021
Today is Easter and originally I was going to write a wholesome message about taking care of yourself (which you should) but then I was like “NAHHHH, let’s talk about characters dying and coming back.”
I know the wonderful Tantz_Aerine wrote an article on it here but I wanted ...
Back From The Dead
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 2, 2021
So we've talked often about how letting a character die in a story is something that should be used very frugally, because once death occurs, it should be permanent. In most settings, death shouldn't be something that is reversible. If not, it will lose its impact, and the ...
Character Design Brainstorming: The Monster Among Us
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 10, 2020
We live in a world of routine, predictability, and pedestrian problems. (2020 doesn't count. Much.)
Magic doesn't really seem to exist in our world.
Or does it?
Perhaps we live above a very thin surface, like floating on a tranquil lake, and just underneath it there are ghouls ...
