Welcome to the articles section. This is where a lot of the Guild's 'think tank' activity goes. |

 We as a community aim to take an in depth look into that which we are interested in, and through our discourse we try understand what makes such things tick. What makes up a likable and original character? How are things designed and wtitten to seem believable and relatable? What's the best way to learn how to draw? Or voice act? Or write a story? These are things we seek to investigate and break down so that we can put it to use in our own original creations. Here you will find an eclectic assortment of writing from our members and staff. They range from the very practical to simply insightful. We hope you enjoy.
If you have an idea or subject you would like us to look into, please feel free to contact us. We're always open to looking into new things.
