Nine. I see the light burning to darkness.
All so swiftly. All so blindly.
Eight. I hear the alarm screaming to deafness.
All so widely. All so loudly.
Seven. I taste the medicine spoiling to sickness.
All so queasily. All so badly.
Six. I sense the odour stinking to foulness ...

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'm Out of Order? You're Out of Order! - Nonlinear storytelling
I finally watched Strange Darling the other night. I think I saw part of a review at some point and dipped out before it could be spoiled.

Infatuation
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 30, 2024
How do you make a clever character stupid?
You give them an infatuation. A fixation. Something that completely overrides their critical thinking and better judgment. Something that drives them nuts like a switch is thrown.
And when that happens, they're dumber than a bag of rocks. (And they're ...

On Conan O'Brien's Podcast the other day, the gang answered a question from a fan about whether they'd created the show with the classic radio lineup of “Dick, Dork and Dear”.

Exhaustion is a character beat
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 23, 2024
So I'm exhausted.
A ton of things I'm juggling in real life plus emotional baggage plus stuff I'm doing online plus art = exhausted Tantz.
And because my brain refuses to focus on anything else, I thought I'd talk about how using exhaustion can be a cool ...
I May Not Know Art But i Know What I Like. Except When I Don't
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 21, 2024
I've been VERY slowly working on new comics ideas…way too many of them…for several years now. One of the decisions for me is what kind of STYLE the comic should be.
To be clear, I'm not a phenomenal artist, to say the least. So i don ...
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:
