This has turned me of so many stories, in practically every medium I couldn't even count them. Pretty much anytime I sniff out an ideological agenda I'm done. You want to write a story that weaves a certain worldview or political stance or social issues or religious belief into its themes, then go…
As a lifelong Marvel fanatic, I just never dug the Hulk, like at all, until the movies. He and the FF just seem like they're part of a bygone era. Plus, Marvel TV shows go really bad way more often than the other way around.
Most sub plots should be cut. This sounds like one of them. Honestly, unless your story absolutely doesn't work without it, it shouldn't be there. If it's boring you, what do you think it's going to do to your readers?
I can do a headstand for a seemingly unlimited amount of time. Honestly, I've never tried to see how long I can go before passing out, but I never even wobble or come close to falling. Even getting older and putting on weight hasn't weakened how easy it is for me.
If they have it turned on in their settings, they will get a notification when you reply to their comment.
I reply to pretty much every comment I get and my readers appear to really appreciate it. I just either let them know how thankful I am for their leaving a comment or giving good feedback. Some readers and I get some good banter going, and over time we've developed a good rapport. It's actually one …
The only place where I've seen any real life hazing was sports related. I was hazed and later led many a hazings and am a better person because of it. It's a rite of passage and way to weed out those who, as stated above, either aren't cut our for the sport or don't really want to be there. When you…
Here's my take on referencing objects/places/people for your art. DO IT! Humans have been tracing ever since we put a disgusting paste into our mouths and spat that out onto a cave wall. You think your favourite artists just pull every little thing out of their genius minds? When I want to use…
I use a wide space between panels for standard pacing, then a long space for scene transitions, and tight spaces to emphasise action. Panel pacing is one of the benefits the mobile format has over traditional comics.
Kids in primary school in Australia stand and sing the national anthem every week. I think that's great. People are too cynical these days when it comes to even a little bit of national pride.
It must be time to share this video again.
I think you'll find we're full of surprises.
I agree with you on how messed up that is. Don't get me started on the system turning a blind eye to abuses in the name of religious freedom.. but I think when it comes to this specific issue, there'd have to be strong political and public will to lead to anything like women falling afoul of the law…
Without the private medical businesses in the US, all those countries, including my own, with affordable and "free" healthcare couldn't exist. Solving that situation, which places an unreasonable burden on US citizens who can't afford health insurance, is so complicated we'll probably have to wait f…
That's why we have judges, to interpret the intent of laws, and set precedent for other cases down the line. Convicting anyone of murder for a miscarriage would never happen in a country like the United States, even if a vaguely written law appears to open the door to that possibility.
To prevent the President of the United States being voted on by two coastal hubs and a handful of major cities. It's not a perfect system of course, but in a country the size of the US, which such diverse interests, it's much better than a straight popular vote. The overwhelmingly vast number of cou…
It's even way worse than that. 'Artists' with no talent other than schmoozing the right people constantly shit out modern 'art' pieces with no application of any skill, sometimes not even doing it themselves, that have no inherent beauty or value, and sell them for millions and are fawned over by sy…
No one is a perfect being, loved by all. But flaws don't have to be in your face, or even faults of the character, they can merely be a matter of circumstance or an inconvenience, like an ageing warrior, or a woman who's 'too' tall to find a man... anything really that makes their existence more dif…
We recently got Ticket to Ride: Europe, and it's great! Other than that, the one we always play is good ol' Steeplechase.
Don't y'all realise? In current year, EVERY time is the first time.
We had a Micro Genius which was a nintendo Clone from Malaysia in the early 90s. Loved it. You could get games super cheap and cartridges with dozens of games in one. Great memories. [image]

I've honestly never thought of this. The only consideration I give to a character in a panel is their expression. I want the reader to get some sense of what kind of thing they could be saying even without the speech bubble. If the expression calls for a closed mouth, open mouth, gritted teeth, puck…
I've received every promotion Webtoons can give you short of being featured, all more than once, one of them (the thumbnail at the bottom of the homepage) I've received several times. Yes, I've been extraordinarily blessed, but I also see it as being rewarded for my work, consistency and future pote…
Something people don't like to bring up is that most of the time, people's stories just aren't very good, or the story simply doesn't resonate with the audience. You can tick all the boxes in the world with regards to what you're supposed to do to optimise the performance of your webtoon, but at t…
How profitable the 'organic' food industry is, is no doubt in direct reverse correlation to how harmful GMOs likely are.
For me personally, it's a I'll know it when I see it kind of deal, but that might not help people who aren't as knowledgeable in such matters. Off the top of my head, generally, the more extreme the ideology being celebrated, the more likely it is to be propaganda. When it comes to politics, it's …
If a work is a piece of social/political propaganda, then you'd be a fool to divorce the ideology of the protagonist from the author, and by extension, the antagonist as having an ideology intended to be demonised. But for a regular story, with honest, genuine characters, then I don't know why any…
I don't do it as much as I used to, but when I did, I used Camtasia, which is a one stop shop screen recorder and video editor.
Yeah, I'm probably 60/30 hand drawn / models, but with quite a different effect than yours. Which just goes to show, the artist plays a huge role in the final product, no matter whether or not you're using models. Your comic looks very cool btw! It reminds me of cut scenes from video games I used …
