Animated Webcomics - ‘The Crimson Fly’ Creator Collin ‘Skipperwing’ Byrd (Pt 1) :: DIYA #16 - a podcast by Jessica Doll & Lauren Morse

Happy New Year and welcome back! We're continuing Season 3 today with a new guest - the indefatigable Collin "Skipperwing" Byrd, creator of action-packed, animated webcomic, The Crimson Fly!

Originally debuting in 2015, Collin’s ‘Crimson Fly’ is an examination of the intricacies of being a superhero, and combines the freedom of animated movement and the storytelling of comics to tell his story in the most complete way possible, as he meets any obstacle this unique artform throws his way with full gusto.

We are also excited to announce that Collin is revamping his comic in full - from its visuals to updated coding - and has treated us to a teaser of the new animation! Find a link to a sneak peek in the blogpost for this episode diyanimation.show/diya16 , and keep an eye out for the revamped ‘Crimson Fly’ to debut sometime in the very near future!

Today with Collin, we talk about:
- The origin and evolution of the Crimson Fly
- Negotiating and creating an intuitive animated reading experience for your audience
- A thorough overview of his entire process for making his animated comic
- His social promo process
- How limitation is the mother of creativity
