Who doesn't love a happy ending?

Eh, there are a good few people I've met that just turn their noses up at happy endings, because apparently according to their opinion, happy endings are for the weak.

But for all other normal people, a happy ending is a good ending… most …

Digging for references

For the longest time, I thought that I would be less of an artist for relying on references. This slowed my progress and made creating comics even longer to produce. Eventually, and thankfully, I got over myself and began using references all the time and by jove did that speed …

Now that's a little TOO scary!

Horror is perfect for metaphor and allegory. In fact, a horror story is often allegorical by default, what with its bizarre landscapes and freaky beasties.

Here are some categories of horror and some thoughts on what they symbolize:

Reality Bites

FEATURED COMIC --> Raising Cain

Ozoneocean at Sept. 30, 2020, midnight

tags: FEATURED COMIC, Raising Cain

This is a bad day for John Cain, waking on a desolated starship, floating alone in the blackness of space with no memory of who he is or what he's doing there. It's a desperate race against time to answer those questions and find out and who are the heavily …

This is Darryl Hughes aka "TheDeeMan" and I have some DD news. Coydog and I have started a kickstarter for our comic "Hit Girlz". As you may recall "Hit Girlz" ran on DD until 2018 and won the "best mystery/crime noir" …

Cultural Significance

So the other day I watched a very interesting video about the new Mulan movie. It was by a Chinese person, explaining why several things were done in a way that is inherently alien to the Chinese culture.

I also recall that the original Mulan was not a hit …

They talk about 'writing what you know' and we've talked about it around here, too.

Does that mean the characters you write and draw have to match all the surface details of your identity, sharing your gender, race, and hobbies?

Of course not.

The characters and stories you create might …

Imagine a superhero team that combats negative forces, now imagine that same group of superheroes all being part of the same family tree: the Impossible Family. Surprisingly, the Impossibles have formed some enemies, including DeathQuake, whose main goal is to destroy their whole family. The Impossibles are about to go …

I Hope John Connor Already Exists in 2020

kawaiidaigakusei at Sept. 21, 2020, midnight

Seven months into this new reality and coming to terms with this idea that the world is becoming more digital is a lot to wrap my mind around. Just last week when I reported (in-person) at my job, I overheard a conversation about a person who had shown up to …

Character Design Brainstorming: The Witch

Tantz_Aerine at Sept. 19, 2020, midnight

tags: character design, character development, motivation, Tantz_Aerine, witch

The witch is different than a sorceress, though their affinity with magic and their powers often can overlap: the sorceress carries status; the witch carries fear.
