the death of 8tracks made you all so bad at making playlists i fear. good ship or character playlist is max 16 songs and devastatingly perfectly crushingly curated. it should make sense musically, if not across the playlist, then at least from song to song. GRADIENTS of genre. think about this before you make a 200 song ship playlist that includes both maroon 5 and mitski. Think on it

Some more comic doodles of Amaryllis and Astarion fhgfhfgg

So fun fact, in her original dnd campaign, Amaryllis befriended a dhampir early on, and their interactions went almost exactly like this fhghjdf “You are hungry, so I will give you blood”

I feel like that sort of view point/interaction would really confuse Astarion since vampires are so hated in his world, but Amaryllis is honestly extremely non-judgmental and just cares about helping

She also loves giving her friends n people she cares about kisses on the cheek, so I wanted to draw that too (and I figured Astarion might be really confused by that too fhgfhffh)

The Creator's Guide to Comics Devices is OPEN!!!
comicsdevices.com

An online library of visual-narrative devices that are used in the medium of comics and other sequential art.

Happy Halloween! I'm really excited to be finally launching* what is maybe one of my most ambitious, largest work yet.
This online library is the next phase of a research project that began in May 2020, when I first mused on how comics as a field doesn't have a resource that catalogues devices used in the medium. Like, theatre has devices, so does literature, and film! So why shouldn't comics?

I always had an interest in comics studies and analysis. I love reading, making and thinking comics. However most of my knowledge was intuitive - I learned comics from osmosis and experience. This is true for many of my peers. Speaking about comics as a creator is hard, because we don't have a robust system of language. When we had to speak, many of us tend to reach for the language developed for film by film practitioners. If there is language specific to comics, it's either scattered in multiple blogs or hidden away in academic journals.

The Comics Devices library is meant to aggregate everything and everybody into a single hub! After exploring some multiple resources, alongside some original, independent research, here is the first edition!

* The Comics Devices project is still a work-in-progress! It's not final, nor will it ever be. This is why I am seeking contributors to help build this library. Translations, comics examples, etc. There is a lot of work to do! If you are interested, reply to this post or submit an expression of interest on this page. 

Have fun everyone!!
(Now time for me to melt x_x)
