Eleven days left until 2022 has me reflecting on the year that was basically navigated on autopilot. “May you live in interesting times,” a saying from ancient times that is quoted many times in the forums by bravo1102 ...
Above and Below the Surface

“Get Back”, the new documentary about the Beatles has been released - I haven't seen the whole thing yet, and I'm a fairly casual fan of the Beatles, but I've seen the shorter version of these recording sessions that was released way back when. And I've seen ...

I couldn't find a perfect gif for this article but…. let's be real, that's an excellent cutie to see.

Last week I made an article about how it’s ok to just stop and take a breather.
But now I wanted to talk about recognizing when you need to stop, when you can come back and the thought process you should take on while you’re away from your ...
Making mistakes in your art
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 20, 2021
Three things happened that inspired me to write this article.
1) When reviewing an episode we recently completed for one of our comics, I realised I had missed a key character design aspect of one of our boys. Although it was not egregious, I did notice it, and it has ...
ART: wrong time or wrong crowd?
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Aug. 1, 2021
Is there a specific age for a specific art style? Maybe an expiration date for some? Or is it just entirely dependent on the crowd?
