So I suppose it is no secret I like activism, standing up for a cause and giving it your all no matter what. From my comics to my actual life I have been doing so.

But what about the imagery that gets such a thing across to an audience in ...

Playing with Time

Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 2, 2017



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 ...

Displaying Intense Emotions Subtly

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 21, 2017


Art by Pit-Face and Tantz Aerine

Expressions are key when drawing characters in webcomics- it’s understandably the acting portion of the creative work, and it has to be done well to engage the reader.

FEATURED COMIC --> Unfruity and Nonchalant

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Jan. 18, 2017



Unfruity and Nonchalant is the product you would get if you mixed a Keith Haring painting in a bowl with absolute cuteness. The simple style tells a quick story in one, two, three, or four panels while only using a single color (now THAT is talent!). The text dialogue is ...

FEATURED COMIC --> Aidana

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Jan. 6, 2016



A mysterious raven-haired woman is battling a demonic beast. The creature's grotesque, hooved body lunges before it gets stabbed in the torso by a large blade. The next few panels show Danaya waking up from her nightmare. Was it all a bad dream? It looked and felt so real ...

FEATURED COMIC --> Entanglement

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Oct. 28, 2015



Xellous and Mijaebah were weary travelers trying to explore an unfamiliar land when they ran into Ailin in a tavern. Ailin offers his help to the pair and it is a good thing he did because they still have a lot to learn starting with the concept of rain and ...
