Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 8, 2025
So you might have a character that's generally very calm or stoic. They may appear weak, or just not intimidating. They may be the right gender, class, age, or any other parameter for their peers to assume they are easy pickings and thus a great target for harassment. Initially ...

The 3rd in our technical art-making series, we're talking hair, feathers, and fur today. How do you draw those highly complicated, textured things? Well the complicated, difficult way is to draw every single strand ...
Nailing the climax
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 1, 2025
One of the best ways to absolutely nail the climax of your comic arc is by using foreshadowing. It’s like planting little breadcrumbs for your readers—tiny hints or clues scattered throughout your story that point to future events or a character’s big moment. When done well, foreshadowing ...
Nature As Antagonist
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 22, 2025
There is nothing more humbling against human hubris than Nature herself.
Even at humanity's peak expansion, technology, sophistication, education, or intelligence, all it takes for its eradication is for the earth to sneeze in just the right way.
Nature cannot be beaten or tamed. It can only be appeased ...

Art For Art's Sake
Gunwallace at 12:00AM, Feb. 13, 2025
I was tempted to write about something easy and non-controversial this week, but then decided I would just keep being me. At least this post has something to do with comics, and current news. I'm genuinely interested in what people have to say on this topic, as it it ...
What Will Happen Without the Barbarians?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 8, 2025
There is a poem by one of the most interationally famous Greek poets, Konstantinos Kavafis, called Waiting for the Barbarians. I invite you to give it a read (I've linked its translation) but here's the gist in a nutshell: It's about the Romans waiting for the Barbarians ...
Buffering
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 1, 2025
If there is one thing my comic partner and I have realised these past few years is this. The first half of the year is manic for us. Every year we get together to inscribe our goals into stone and within two months life has bulldozed its way through them ...
Creator Interviews Are Coming Back!
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2025
So I slacked a lot in getting interviews prepared for our awesome webcomic artists here on the Duck, but that is going to be remedied!
I'm trying to find a way to establish regularity for all the features for showcasing DDers and their webcomics that I've been handling ...
