The physical space that a character inhabits often seems far more passive than it really is. Space is more than a matter of creating a backdrop, though. Why is it that some characters feel as if they’re moving against a wall paper background while others inhabit a far more ...

Punch to the Midsection
Banes at 12:00AM, March 4, 2021
In the beginning, we set up our character
Iin the middle, we get them into trouble
In the end, we get them out of trouble.
Sounds so simple! It's tougher than that to pull off.
The middle of a story in particular, as people have talked about, is often ...

Dialogue Should Denote Mindsets
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 27, 2021
Dialogue is a very important element of writing. From novels to webcomics to movies, good dialogue will show things seamlessly, effortlessly, while at the same time they are unsaid.

The Setting is the Wrapping, Not the Content
Tantz_Aerine at 12:26AM, Feb. 20, 2021
I have never been an X-men fan. More like a casual consumer of the movies, and that was only until the disastrous (in my opinion) Wolverine singles and the Dark Phoenix movie which I couldn't finish. Props to everyone who managed to enjoy those films! These things are a ...

The Loner
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 13, 2021
Silent types can be very alluring. They don't really engage with other people, they are content to be on their own, they have developed their own special, unique manner of wading through life independently, which makes them interesting. They are their own kind of strong, even if they are ...
Tooning With Banes - The Horizon
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 11, 2021
The Horizon
Even though I've been drawing/cartooning for longer than I can remember, there are major holes in my knowledge. Even after a lifetime of drawing, and making hundreds of webcomic pages.
Luckily I found some great info while cruising around the ‘Net.
You may already know this ...
