What You WON'T Tell Yourself
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Aug. 29, 2021
it’s so easy to find something you like and dive straight into it without knowing the costs and hard work it’s going to take.
Webcomics just happens to be like that too sometimes.
Sometimes you don’t know how much of a buffer is actually good, when you ...
Making mistakes in your writing
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 27, 2021
Last week I wrote about what you can do when you make mistakes in the artwork of your webcomic. A mistake in the writing is oftentimes harder to fix than the artwork. Foreshadowing and building of the world’s foundations is baked into what you write, so when you finally ...

damehelsing at 12:00AM, Aug. 22, 2021

Making mistakes in your art
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 20, 2021
Three things happened that inspired me to write this article.

I think a lot of us have dreams of growing up and changing the world. Impacting it in some great way. Or if you’re villain type, maybe in a bad way.

The Torture of Watching
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2021
Greece is burning, as I'm writing these lines.
There is fire everywhere, and it's only getting worse. It's probably going to extinguish itself in the sea, when it gets there, in all areas, from central Greece to Attica to Euboia. The ecological disaster is enormous. The consequences ...
