Hand-coloured etching and aquatint: A bare room, with an elaborate shaded centre light of fourteen (? gas) lamps in cylindrical globes. Two dandified young men are playing, in shirt-sleeves; two others, wearing bell-shaped top-hats, watch, one being in evening dress, the other in a long greatcoat. The marker adjusts one of the dials. Besides a rack of cues and the framed Rules of Billards, there is a washstand: on the chimneypiece are spirit-jars and glasses. c.1825

Tag yourself in this 1825 satirical print of men playing billiards.

Re: The inevitable push-back about these kinds of tips: keep in mind, it's literally my job to know, catch, and correct this stuff. You do whatever you want, but if your script is gonna end up in a mainstream book, chances are good it's gonna be changed to mainstream standards.

Comics writers, if you END a balloon with a ellipsis, and the idea continues into a 2nd balloon, it's standard practice amongst almost all mainstream publishers to BEGIN the 2nd balloon with an ellipsis. Same goes for double dashes. (I end up correcting a million of these.)

This is straight up some of the best Star Trek I've seen in any medium in about a quarter of a century.
It nails the characters' voices and motivations and back stories. It has a philosophical point to make.

And most of all it has something politically relevant to say. It draws blood.

A little orangey-yellowy-brown skipper butterfly (facing right, in center of frame) on the bright yellow petal of a helianthus (a native sunflower variety). Its little proboscis is coiled up, ready to feast. I think it's a Peck's skipper, but don't quote me on that as I am not a CERTIFIED BUGOLOGIST. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

CUTE LITTLE BUDDY FRIEND. This is a jumping spider, and all you can see is its eyes and bunched up limbs as it is tucked behind the branch of a tree, hiding as if to say, "You cannot see me, I am too clever." Its eyes are black and shiny, but somehow adorable, perhaps because of the impression of dewy eyelashes. It's a cute spider. You can't see the rest of it but it is, I believe, Paraphidippus Auranthus, or an emerald jumping spider. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

A broad expensive of fence in a macro photo (with a very thin slivered depth-of-frame) shows a tiny red bug on the wood, the bug has a large butt (not the technical term, no) and a little head, leaning forward for the journey ahead, as if he could be a pack animal for little fairyfolk or something. This is, I believe, a globular springtail. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

FORBIDDEN GUMMY WORM. Okay, not a gummy worm, but this caterpillar looks kind of like a gummy worm? The caterpillar is bright red with a mottled, almost tortoiseshell head. The caterpillar is bent at the fore and is on a leaf drooping forward. Its body is covered in cresting peaks of tiny bristles. It is, I believe, the caterpillar of a luna moth.

From my experience of drawing sound effects by hand, I realised that you can easily make font-based sound effects more exciting as wellβ€”by exercising intentionality and control.

Here's some examples.

A cropped illustration shows the cover of Into the Smoke. An androgynous young man with shoulder-length red hair and tattooed hands appears below a dark, smoky ghost, who caresses the man while inhaling his breath. Swirls and patterns surround them.

Hey #MeettheWebcomic!

I make a supernatural mystery webcomic about Blaze, a gay medium who binds himself to an evil spirit to solve his murder. (And this DEFINITELY won't be an issue for the priest he has a crush on... right?)

#meetthewebcomic, below is a logo that reads heirs of the veil. Beneath that are genres: Urban Fantay, Spooky, Drama. 
The text reads: A young witch in search of her mother has to try to untangle a dangerous family secret. 

Website name: heirsoftheveil.com
Additionally can be read on tapas. 
The image on the right shows three people, the person in the foreground looking up distraught, the person behind him seems to be distrustful. The girl in the background is stabbing herself in the chest with a dagger. Instead of blood there is only light
