So you've written this awesome scene, or placed your pawns (aka characters) just perfectly to create a perfect scenario… and then you are stuck.
There is no way you can solve the problem in a way that pans out well for the character or the plot, or what you ...
Writing into (and out of) the corner
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 17, 2018The Origin Stories of Webcomics | Part 3
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 2, 2018
So here we are.
The final part.
The end of the journey.
Settle in kids because this is looooong. I’m going to get a bit real and it may be confronting for some people so I just want to warn you.
I was in my final year of university ...
Quackcast 359 - The Covershow
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 30, 2018 LISTEN!
Covers are a very important part of books and comics! They entice us to pick them up and read them, they encourage us to BUY them. But how much are they really needed for webcomics? You hardly ever look at the front cover and what you really want in ...
The Origin Stories of Webcomics | Part 1
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 19, 2018
For this week I decided to take a break from the usual topic of comic promotion and, instead, talk about something more personal. Every now and then I get asked how I got into webcomics and, as an inevitable follow up, where should they start. If you’ll indulge me ...
A new coat of paint - The DD website design update!
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 12, 2018
Last year, our glorious leader Oz suggested that the site needed a fresh, new coat of paint to bring the community forward in the webcomic sphere. As a way to usher in a brand new year for the DrunkDuck community, we unveiled the new look for the website over at ...
Creators vs. Readers
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 6, 2018
Creators and Readers are two groups that go hand in hand. In a very substantial way when it comes to art, one cannot exist without the other- Art is created to be seen, heard, felt and read or otherwise enjoyed (including eating it), even if the only one doing that ...
The Turn
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2017
There are few scenes more dramatic, more alluring and more riveting than the moment when the one of the main characters of a story makes the Turn: the moment where they change their convictions- for better or worse.
If properly prepared, the Turn is an extremely cathartic and exciting moment ...
Using social media to get Senpai to notice you
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Dec. 22, 2017
As we gear up for the holiday season, we take this time to reflect on the year and decide on the inevitable New Year’s resolutions that follow. Whilst most will add, “Take better care of the plants”, “Do more exercise,” and “Finally get my life together,” to the list ...
Quackcast 353 - Beautycast
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Dec. 19, 2017 LISTEN!
This is the Beautycast. We decided to have a chat about beauty. What IS beauty? is it universal? I would contend that it's not and that's what we tended to agree in the Quackcast. Beauty is a highly relative concept dependent on many factors like symmetry, rarity ...
On The Still-Ongoing Net Neutrality Issue
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 16, 2017
A thread in the forum by JillyFoo on Net Neutrality has inspired this newspost.
I did some cursory research on it on the issue of how repealing it might affect artists- indie artists, like most of us are as webcomic creators and DD contributors.
According to Rolling Stone repealing it ...
