Character Quirks
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 25, 2017
So last time I talked about the little extras that can go into dialogue and how that dialogue can be presented on the page of your comic, so I was thinking today might be good to continue in that general trajectory and talk about little extras in your character design ...
