You can draw, but can you tell a story with your drawings? Sequential art is a different beast than one off illustrations. Learn to read a script, understand how time is felt in panel pacing, balance composition of individual panels versus together on a page, and more!

Beyond One World and One Species
Saturday October 19, 2024 7:00pm - 7:50pm PDT
Morrison
Millennia of diaspora from Old Home Terra would almost certainly produce any number of subvariants of humanity including genetically engineered transhumans and cyborgs. Consider not "the" future of humanity but "the futures" of humanity. Save for a common heritage distant in time, they might be alien species. What might that be like?
