We did a guest lecture for Parsons Illustration senior class!
🕑 Added 2025-03-29 00:28:28 +0000 UTCWe were asked to give a guest lecture to a class of about 130 seniors at Parsons College earlier this week! Ananth put together this GORGEOUS presentation and I thought it was too pretty* not to share. :)
We more or less talked about our work history, our processes, and our current ongoing public projects. It's been a while since we got to talk in-person to a class, and it was a really nice experience!!! I'm very grateful for the warm welcome and the genuine interest and curiosity the students had in our work and how to break into our various career spaces. We wound up spending almost twice as long for audience questions as we did for the talk itself, which felt really cool!
It was also wild to talk to a bunch of young adults and say "I started my first webcomic in 1999, I guess most of you weren't born" and get a resounding "no we weren't born yet" lol lmao
These slides are largely visuals with an expectation that we'd be talking over them, but if you're curious what programs we're currently using for our process: our scripts are done in Scrivener and our comics pages are done in Clip Studio Pro. (I do colors & lettering in Photoshop still but that's unfortunately an issue with CSP being weird with lettering and CMYK color spaces. It's not an issue if you're working only for web!)
BTW if you'd like myself and Ananth to talk to a class/organization please reach out to our manager ( info@organizedhavoc.com ) and we'd love to try to work something out!
*OOPS I'm noticing the PDF conversion did some odd things with the text formatting! It's still readable, just less pristine looking! :,)

Was Fallen the webcomic that started in 1999? Or was there an even earlier one?
