About us
This website was started when I was talking to Ace (the artist from Ace of Abra, a now dead Pokemon webcomic) about Pokemon Webcomics. We had noticed that there were so many sprite-based comics and the comics that were hand drawn were sort of neglected and not as popular. They needed to be unified in a way that people could easily access their pages. He was putting together a list until I asked him to take over the project and make a site that the artists could find on their own and join at their leisure.
DPCA stands for the Drawn Pokemon Comic Alliance and is pretty much self-explanatory. It's a webring that focuses to unite artists. But what is a "drawn" comic? Drawn comics are sequential art that is done using traditional media [Such as ink, pencil, paint, markers, etc-] or digital media [drawing in painter, photoshop, illustrator, etc]. But why no sprites? We have found that there is a surplus of webcomics that are based off of video games that feature sprites characters, so much in fact, that they seem to dominate the fancomic genre. Sprite comics usually focus on humor/parody aspects of a webcomic while a drawn comic can be flexible and leave room for many different genres. We want to bring together the artists who work to draw fancomics with diverse genres and storylines. Drawn comics also allow the artist to create visual personalities and to better portray their own characters rather than characters straight from the game. DPCA encourages originality!
If you have a comic and want to join, please head here now. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
