tags: by Jeremy Ray, FEATURED COMIC, rated M, XTIN



Steel yourself for the horrors within XTIN! This comic is hardcore, full on, skulls removed from still living bodies, muscles fibres torn from nerves and blood vessels… The true essence of shadowmasochism! XTIN is set in a bewildering world, half astral plane, half dream, where reality has been twisted by …

The years following my college graduation, the most frequent questions asked by my peers and older adults were: "What did you major in?" and "What do you do?" Initially, the questions would bother me because I could not give a direct answer to the second question without feeling inadequate. What …

Breaks and Hiatuses

HippieVan at Jan. 22, 2016, midnight



Hiatuses are a necessary evil in the webcomics world, it seems. Most webcomic artists can’t devote all their attention to their comic, and will at some point find that life – school, work, or family – gets in the way of regular updates.

In terms of maintaining readership, it’s best …

tags: Banes, ENDINGS part two




I read that a great ending should be "surprising but inevitable". That's a tall order! To have the whole story leading to that inevitable conclusion, but not be predictable. Wow!

LISTEN!

OMFG you sexist PIG! Heh… today we talk about trying to recognise sexism in your OWN work, what to do about it, and WHY. It turns out it can be very hard to do, and if you DO acknowledged it the instinct is to rationalise it away, justify it, …

Accents, dialects, and different languages in comics

HippieVan at Jan. 15, 2016, midnight



Accents, patterns of speech and the like can be a useful tool in introducing characters. In a film or tv show, a character's accent can immediately reveal the character's nationality or social background. And of course, we've all been conditioned by Hollywood movies to identify the bad guy by his …

ENDINGS part one

Banes at Jan. 14, 2016, midnight
tags: Banes, Endings part one



Endings are hard. We all know that. We have to tie up all the loose ends, answer all the questions, and pay off all the characters. We have to give a resolution that hopefully leaves our readers satisfied.

LISTEN!

Sometimes it works GREAT because it throws you right into the middle of things and you …
