Featured Webcomic
Ash in the Wind
by Cryoflower
Reasons to Read:
1. Romance with a twist
2. Beautiful environments
3. Good mystery
Summary:
Alexis Brangwyn is a disillusioned college student who has lost interest in the real world. When an opportunity turns up for her to investigate a local paranormal legend (and with the boy she’s been eyeing) she seizes it, but the two soon find themselves lost in another reality. In a place that seems like a dream come true, is there a reason to return home? A paranormal romance about self-love, loneliness, and escaping into fantasy worlds.
Updates every Thursday!
Ash in the Wind is recommended for ages 13+ due to light suggestive themes, mild horror imagery, and topics of mental illness.

Newsletter - November 2024
No News is Good News
Leaves are falling, Snow is falling, I am falling. It must be FALL! Screen Tones is on hiatus after wrapping up our third season. While we still have a lot of irons in the fires, it's all goodies that you'll have to wait till next year to find out. And don't worry, the Discord is still there to satiate your Screen Tonian needs until we're back on the air.
So we'll keep this months newsletter short and sweet!
From the Askbox: Making comics when you have a full-time job
Q: do you have any advice for aspiring author-artists who already work full time (40 hrs per week) day jobs?
i straight up don’t have time for anything outside of work, taking care of my pets, general housekeeping, feeding myself, and sleep. i’d have to sacrifice time for one of those categories to do anything outside of them. and i frequently do sacrifice that time. usually sleep and housekeeping.
(i am looking for part-time work that would let me bring in the same amount of income per month, but i would have to sacrifice my current health care while im in the middle of trying to address my own medical needs)
Newsletter - September 2024
Falling into Webcomics...
Fall is almost here! And as the weather cools, and the leaves change (at least here in the northern hemisphere), the Screen Tones calendar is filling up with more excitement and activities!
