The past few weeks, as life has begun to settle down again, I have been trying to get back into the swing of things with our comic projects. However, despite having the best of intentions, it has been a struggle. In large part because we’re embarking on some reworking ...

So I have another part about Religion, as well as a Deep Dive I'm hoping to have ready before Halloween in terms of my upcoming newsposts. And I have several art projects running. First off, to protect my buffer for Verdant. Second off, to make my contribution for the ...
Trying to accept a slow creative process
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Sept. 24, 2023

The AI Problem
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 21, 2023

Development hell is a form of purgatory for a creative project. We often hear it used in relation to series or movies. The project is bounced from studio to studio, as ...
Enjoying the work
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 22, 2022
So this might be a little tricky. We're webcomic artists. We make webcomics that are a ridiculously composite and tough undertaking, all on our own- and we like it. We really do because it rarely pays the hours and skill that goes in them, but we still do it ...
