Description

Today’s guest is Robin, a supremely talented 21 year old art college student. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their QL webcomic Chainlinked, where we follow the sometimes awkward but always heartwarming encounters between the lead characters Danny and Hunter .  

We’ll chat about the genesis of Chainlinked and why it was important for Robin to portray happy representation of queer characters, how they learned to stockpile buffer episodes and adjusted to the vertical webtoon format, and discuss how to stay ahead of trends and leverage animatics as a way to build an audience on TikTok.
