I just realized that I have a couple (2) of these books. They're amazing!
xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles

Reblogging this to hopefully safe my future
ArtStation Fan Expo Panelists, Nacho Yagüe (Art Director at Gameloft) and Tim Warnock (Co-Founder of North Front Studios) detail how to avoid common mistakes and filter through your artwork to get stunning art portfolios that will wow recruiters.
A tip for excellent writing I just learned: Don't introduce a character with their Dramatic Backstory. It makes readers go "oh alright this is the Dramatic Background Story Character" and establishes a baseline of Tragic, either for the story as a whole or this character in particular. With no contrast of light and dark, pure darkness isn't impactful, it just looks like the absence of anything to look at.
If you really want someone's dramatic backstory to hit the audience like a gut punch, let them get to know the character first. That way the dark backstory doesn't come off as a description of who they are, but an explanation to why they are the way they are. Bonus points for connecting it to something that's already been established as a part of the character - what a devastating blow to suddenly put together that hold on, that funny quirky thing that they always do is a fucking trauma response.
I was able to skip lunch today.
