I love a character in an ensemble cast that runs counter to the rest of the people around them.
Really, it's the best way to make a character stand out. The one who has some kind of contrast to everyone else, in terms of their priorities, or beliefs, or ...

Today we're going into another aspect of creating artwork for webcomics! This time it's painting skin, a topic that Tantz suggested. How do you render skin? It's a super common thing in ...
This and That (the power of contrast)
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2025

It's been a very tough week (as per usual these past few weeks) and I've been sitting here staring at the blank screen of my computer trying to think of a topic to write about for the newspost.
And I got nothing. I keep drawing blanks. I have ...
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 ...

Group Dynamics
I'm working on putting some teams together for some new comics. Will I ever get to them? Yes, I think so!
Figuring out an ensemble is a long process. At least it is for me.
Before I started my first webcomic, Typical Strange, I spent over a ...
