Poetry Time 98: Sunslit

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 1, 2024



Your shadow growing to blacken the sky
Unfilling the vaccum we rotate inside
Your shadow glowing to blacken the sky
Sealed by the heavenly ocean we´ve seen to forget
Your shadow flowing to blacken the sky
In your reflecton I´ll always reside
Your shadow throwing to blacken the ...

Infatuation

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 30, 2024



How do you make a clever character stupid?

You give them an infatuation. A fixation. Something that completely overrides their critical thinking and better judgment. Something that drives them nuts like a switch is thrown.

And when that happens, they're dumber than a bag of rocks. (And they're ...

The Morning Wack Pack Trio

Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 28, 2024



On Conan O'Brien's Podcast the other day, the gang answered a question from a fan about whether they'd created the show with the classic radio lineup of “Dick, Dork and Dear”.

I'd never heard of it, and neither had Conan and company. But apparently, morning radio ...

Poetry Time 97: Everface

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Nov. 24, 2024



Time.

It does not come in an even lap.
It comes wearing the everfacing mask
Dead-light searching, seeking that hope.
It is gone graving the everfading mote
Can you see the black fog before the red freeze?
They are neither free from the primordial bead.

Time… now, always and never ...

Exhaustion is a character beat

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 23, 2024



So I'm exhausted.

A ton of things I'm juggling in real life plus emotional baggage plus stuff I'm doing online plus art = exhausted Tantz.

And because my brain refuses to focus on anything else, I thought I'd talk about how using exhaustion can be a cool ...

I May Not Know Art But i Know What I Like. Except When I Don't

Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 21, 2024



I've been VERY slowly working on new comics ideas…way too many of them…for several years now. One of the decisions for me is what kind of STYLE the comic should be.

To be clear, I'm not a phenomenal artist, to say the least. So i don ...

Poetry Time 96: The Outer Silence

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Nov. 17, 2024



My hearing was not in my surroundings but somewhere else.
I could hear a wailing turning to howling. Howling turning to roaring.

My mind stepping ajar into a place previously unsensored. Uncharted, Unamed. Unknown.
I am the creatureless feature of a parallell seizure, persisting the law for a self-procedure
That ...

Justice vs Revenge and What it Says About the World

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2024



Sometimes it may feel that the justice system protects the perpetrator a lot more than it does the victim:

There are many things an accused can use to mitigate their position, there are many reasons to shorted a sentence, they can get out on good behavior, they can generally serve ...

Front and Back

Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 14, 2024


I'm not sure if I've written a post about this already, but an interesting thing we have to think about sometimes with comics is how to make the characters, the foreground, stand out from the background.

Here are my notions on that:


- using human natural ability and instinct ...
