If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, than so is Red Cliff since it takes place in December (of 201 AD), the "good" faction(s) colors are red and green, and there's a focus on gift giving.

Granted, the gifts are tuberculosis and fire, but still.
A silly four panel comic quickly describing the events of the Battle of Red Cliff. In the first panel, strategists Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu argue about joining forces until Zhuge mentions the enemy wants to bone Zhou Yu's wife, to which he agrees to the alliance. In the second panel, Prime Minister Cao Cao takes over naval command and refuses to acknowledge that he's already been outsmarted by Zhuge and Zhou Yu. In the third panel, general Guan Yu is worried that a fire attack, which is needed against a larger military force, will fail because the wind is against them. Zhuge Liang pops out his iPhone and texts the wind, asking it to change direction, to which it responds "Lol, sure." The final panel has Cao Cao on his knees in defeat before Guan Yu, who describes Red Cliff as Cao Cao's greatest military defeat ever. They then agree to let Cao Cao go for absolutely no discernible reason.

Anyone got any tips for getting back into art after physical trials? Especially from people whom #ComicsBrokeMe? Getting the itch to make comics again but I constantly think of my damaged shoulder.

Also, for reference, my style isn't even complex and I overworked myself.
A two-panel comic. A caption mentions that many snakes imitate the threatening colors of the deadly coral snake (red, yellow, black; "red next to yellow, kill a fellow"). First panel shows a proud and angry coral snake saying "I am a TRUE Coral Snake! I AM DANGEOUS AS F**K! MY VENOM AND I ARE ONE!" Second panel shows a silly milk snake (red, black, yellow; "red next to black, friend of Jack" aka harmless) woth eyes looking in different directions simply stating the head-empty thought of "i eat egg"

Been staying off socials for mental health stuff for a while. Lemme just check my bluesky -

Oh. Um. Hi. Welcome to my corner of the void?
A scene from SpongeBob SquarePants - Patrick Star returns to his home, a rock shaped like a dome, to find the entire town hiding under it, exclaiming "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!"

No way to verify but my working headcanon is the only reason IGN lets me write for them is bc I ranked all 23 major installments in this dumb wonderful franchise that I irrationally love with all my heart

(Also every game from DW5 forward has an encyclopedia to learn all about ancient China 👍🏽)
People are realizing how much the Dynasty Warriors games taught them about a historical Chinese period and it RULES

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm William Quant and I make comics and write many things non-comics. Currently writing wrestling for
@comicsbeat and video game guides for IGN. I draw when I have to, and when I do, it's usually round and cartoonish. Always looking for more (mostly writing) work!
Kirby + Miles Morales, Across the Spiderverse Big experiment of mine - telling graphic novel/comics stories through video game guides, this one with Jinzo, my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! design Romance of the Three Kingdoms is my absolute jam and this is a cover I did for one of the battles based on old-timey wrestling/boxing posters A one-page summary of an ancient Chinese battle done in a very dumb way in a 4-panel
