The basic rules if you're interested in being interviewed by me.....

Adding a mythos to your comic adds a lot of great things that you can play with and enhance your theme. We look at how to build a mythology for your world, from gods to monsters, and look at how modern celebrities are the deities of the modern world. We also look at adding local legends to your stories for a little extra world-building.

We look at the importance of nudity when it comes to having fun with your characters, from character development to relating to your readers. We look at how stripping away all of the aritifice from your characters can leave them more vulnerable, and how that works in your favor. Your characters are at their finest when there is nothing else to consider and we expose how that works in your favor!

Character designs can be hard. We look at how different materials can hep define characters, as well as add to plot elements such as themes as foreshadowing. We also look at how tight a character's clothes defines their confidence, and why naked characters are usually honorable ones. Throw in a quick look at their jewelry and we show how what you wear is important.

Critics don't always get it right. We look at why there's a difference between what critics, artists, and everyone else are looking for in a particular. I also look at why critics should avoid genres they don't like, shouldn't charge for reviews, and shouldn't go in with a bias. There's also a swipe at some director and a website of frozen women.

Comic artists tend to over-use the same basic medium and close shots. We look at expanding that a little bit by looking at how camera shots can be used in comics as well as some advanced concepts. ranging from insert shots to zoom-in/zoom-out transitions. We even look at narration and flashbacks. Hopefully, this will help you look for other ways to have fun with your art.
