The Webcomic Alliance
Hi everyone!
We are proud to launch the home of the Webcomic Alliance, your worksource for digital comics!
The Webcomic Alliance is for all webcomic artists and writers, from aspiring to well established webcomic community members, who are looking for some help or input from fellow webcomic creators.
The Webcomic Alliance is a free resource for webcomic creators featuring useful articles, tips and tricks and the Webcomic Workshop Podcast, a round table discussion of common issues facing digital comic creators that comes out with a new episode every two weeks on a Wednesday. Plus we feature a Weekly Spotlight on Webcomics all over the world!
It’s going to be a lot of fun, so pick a topic and start reading. Or drop by the Podcast page for a fun hour of webcomic information and drinking advice! As the weeks progress, you’ll see more and more articles, reports, and tutorials.
Welcome aboard!
– Dawn, Ken, Byron, Kurt & Antoine
Hey Guys! Congrats on a really super new Website! Already learned some new stuff from your tutorials pages. Thanks! :`D

bookmarked!
Awesome! Nice site, lovin’ what you’re doing. Glad I came across it. BOOKMARKED!
Awesome!
Thanks David! You should be getting a “present” from me next week!
Byron
Nice look and feel, guys. I like the corporate colors and the “oversized,” relaxed design. The individual icons are big and easy to read. A nicely balanced list of topics/menus—excellent for navigation and research.
A great start. I’m very proud of you guys.
Long Live The Alliance!!
Thank Ken for the design work, he busted his gut on it. As an old fart, I love the bigger design too!
Byron
Thank you sir! Great feedback – and not just because you dig it!! 🙂
Great job guys. As I move forward with trying to get my pen wet with webcomics, I know I’ll use this site a lot. All of ya’ll have a great approach to this industry and I look forward to learning from your tutorials and the workshop podcasts. I wish ya’ll all the best in this endeavor.
Time will tell, but we’re off to a good start. All five of us have varied backgrounds and those experiences directly translate to the business of creating webcomics. Who knew? 🙂
Byron

Thanks, man! We’re all excited by it!
Byron

Looks great! Love the site design and the podcast. It’s bookmarked and I look forward to learning even more!

Thanks Joe! 🙂

I can barely keep up, people! A BIG collective thank you to EVERYONE for making our launch day a great experience! Hope to see you around the site!
Do I pay my $30 now or later?
But seriously, best of luck I shall be here regularly.
Thanks, James! We’ll all see what the future holds. It’s been a fun and hectic trip getting here. Glad you’re along for the ride.
good to have ya aboard, dude! Give Gary a cat and a catapult for me. ;0)
The check is in the mail, right? 🙂
I dig the podcast. Nice job.
We really dig doing them. We’ve gotten “a groove” down now and the upcoming episodes have even more info in them plus some fun along the way.
Careful when you say groove – getting Antoine to sit still for an hour is a challenge!
Beer beer beer…
A perfect reply! Thanks for taking the trbuole.
This site looks great and I look forward to sitting down and reading what you all have to say!
there’s a lot, better get crackin’! Thank you!!!!
This is a fantastic idea! I also really like the look of the site. I hope this takes off successfully! Kudos to you!
Thanks – we’re really excited to share what we’ve learned!! And we gladly accept Kudos!
This site is rockin. I hope you’ll be open to guest posting and submissions in the future!
Totally!
This is part of our Post-Launch implementation ideas!
And after seeing your own tutorials, surely We would welcome your submission with opened arms! 🙂
I really like what you all are doing here. I was just wondering if a forum might be incorporated into the site someday? It might be useful if moderated properly. I know that’s a lot of weight for someone but I’m curious. Best of luck to you all!
Thanks Adam!
We are definitively looking at the forum possibility. We wanted to launch first a see the demand after.
Stay tuned on that! 🙂
This site is great. I know that Ken is a talented designer!His Rick The Stick comic is even actually funny (sometimes);-) Congratulations to you guys!!
Haha – thanks Marty! I’ll design your site when you make the trip up to Tampa!
yeah, Ken’s okay. He brings a certain something to the group. Sandwiches, mostly.
;0) Thanks Marty, and seriously, Ken has been a tremendous help, especially with the site itself!
Thanks Dawn – nice job with the logo!
*circle pat on the back to the group!
Nice job on the site guys. It’s nice to have all this info collected in one place again.
You should have some live streaming video of comic creation I think, I know I have learned a lot while watching someone else draw and asking them questions about their technique.
I’ll be checking back regularly to keep an eye on you guys, someone has to make sure you all behave.
Hey Keith! Yes, I have been working on doing video tutorials, but my current system just does not have the power to handle that well. If the “money gods” shine on me this quarter, I hope to have a new machine over Christmas and will start up the videos then. Stay tooned…
Byron
Looking forward to seeing this place soar! I see a few good articles already peaking my interest. Best wishes to all of you! =)
Omg I love the idea of this site! So glad I came across it :O best of luck srsly.
