Micro Comic Summer Returns for 2024!
In 2022, Hiveworks introduced Micro Comic Summer, an online comic challenge shared via the #MicroComicSummer tag on varied social media channels.
Micro Comic Summer is one of many online art challenges that bring creators together to complete a project and share their work with their community. Other well-known examples of art challenges include Hourly Comic Day, where artists draw a comic panel for every hour of their day, and Inktober (along with its inspired spin-offs), a daily illustration challenge in October.
Micro Comic Summer focuses on sustainable art practices, story craft, and art exploration, by encouraging creators to take an entire summer to draw a 4-page comic.
The rules of Micro Comic Summer are as follows:
Rule 1- Tell a story in four pages. This rule is possibly the most challenging aspect: to be succinct and efficient with your page count. Some creators have used this challenge as an opportunity to redraw old webcomic pages or introduce new readers to their pre-existing characters and story. What story you tell is completely up to you!
Rule 2 - You have all summer (or winter, for the southern hemisphere) to do it. From June to the end of August, take your time to perfect your paneling, edit your story, and choose your palette thoughtfully. There is no need to make snap decisions or cut corners for this challenge. The timeframe is meant to encourage exploration and growth.
Rule 3 - Share it online. Use the tag #MicroComicSummer to share your work with others on August 31. Contribute to the conversation around comic artist working conditions.
While Hiveworks introduced Micro Comic Summer, anyone is free to participate. Participation in the tag does not mean you’re submitting your work to us, nor does it mean we own it. It’s just a hashtag, for fun.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Yessss, my favorite challenge is BACK!

Aristocrat runaway Ludovica did not expect such adventures when she swapped places with her twin as sea captain. Between untangling her brother’s romantic life, meeting old gods, uncovering naval sabotage and deciphering her own feelings about the lovely ladies she meets, will Ludo ever have time to complete her beloved treatise on sea sponges?
TIGERS IS SO SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I were comparing notes when we realized we both read Crow Time but on different platforms. We were curious about the minor stylistic differences between Tumblr and Webtoon: do you have an 'intended' platform for your comics, or do you simply make edits to fit the different formats?
Since I ink traditionally, Crow time is drawn on 6x9 inch paper, which is graphic novel size, but also a great format to convert for scrolling if you take that into account when lettering. I use the square format on social media as its the most versatile format for it (instagram & bluesky mainly take square). Usually, it fits pretty well, but occasionally if I do a full bleed 6x9 page I need to slice it or zoom out. So, I would say the page format is the default, it just fits nicely with a scroll format.
My preferred format tends to be books lol. I do love the square format, square books are also super cute.
