Banes at 12:00AM, March 13, 2025



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 ...

Buffering

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 1, 2025



If there is one thing my comic partner and I have realised these past few years is this. The first half of the year is manic for us. Every year we get together to inscribe our goals into stone and within two months life has bulldozed its way through them ...

This and That (the power of contrast)

Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2025

Resolute Resolutions for 2025

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 4, 2025



It’s that time of year again. It’s become a bit of an annual tradition. I started setting goals for myself a few years ago. And whilst I have not hit all of them, I have achieved more than I feel I would have had I not set any ...

Baby Steps

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2024



The end of the year is fast approaching. Per tradition these past few years, I have done an article focusing on setting comic goals or habits for the upcoming year. Last year, for instance, I had a whole bunch of goals to achieve, habits to establish and projects I wanted ...

I was going to do a Character Deep Dive yesterday, for you to read today. However it wasn't meant to be, because while I was making my analysis, my house alarm went off because some decided to try to break in. So enthusiastically that my shutters were shattered and ...

Are We The Baddies?

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 15, 2024



Last time I wrote about villains making amends, after they decide to change their ways, flip sides, or generally become support to the protagonist, rather than the antagonist.

But for them to get there, there has to first come the realization that they are the villain of their story. And ...

The Understudy Hero

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 18, 2024




There's nothing more shocking than when the hero dies …at the beginning.

Don't worry, Banes isn't dead! I'm just standing in for him this week, he will return! This is only about fictional main characters that didn't get the memo they should reserve their death ...
