So over here on Greek TV, there's this very popular drama series that happens to be set in a Greek mainland village in the 1950s, and sells itself as ‘authentically representing an era’. It started off very promising, as a crime drama + family drama kind of story where three ...

I recently took on the Sailor Moon Redraw Challenge. I was so excited to pay homage to the series that inspired me to take drawing seriously but most of all, I was curious as to whether or not I had a style. It took many years for me to realise ...
So you think you can draw?
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 13, 2020
I was recently tagged in an Instagram post asking creators to share what they’re favourite thing to draw is. I immediately put down, hair, eyes and guys. Upon reflection what struck me about that response was how different that list was only a few years ago, for the three ...
When the Plot is Too Busy
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 22, 2020
The plot is the spine of your story, the scaffolding upon which everything will be placed in order to create a full experience for the audience to immerse themselves in- be it a movie or a comic or a novel.

The Day After

The feeling that you're never doing enough
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 7, 2020
For most of us, creating webcomics is a side hustle; a hobby or “second job” that we come home to after we’re done with our day jobs. In many ways you make your own rules and set your own hours, however, this can lead to an underlying sense that ...
Writing Wise Folk
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 1, 2020
Wise men are like valuable spice for a story. They are also a wonderful plot device, or an extremely cheesy one, depending on how the character is used and written.
Wise men (and women) are often the moral compass to the main characters, or hold some kind of answer to ...
Overall tips for getting over a slump
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 17, 2020
It's very easy for us creators to get wrapped up in our own art and stories that sometimes we begin to feel stagnant. It’s important to take a step back and look at what others are doing as it might go on to serve as inspiration for your ...

On Toxic Fans (for 2020)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 4, 2020
So the third and final installment in the new Disney Star Wars trilogy is out. Personally, I haven't seen it yet, mainly because the mild curiosity I have can wait until the movie hits the streaming services.
Initially, it seemed like this final installment would be met with average ...
