The world's great artists, writers, colourists and storytellers, together under the DC brand. Each with their own live channel. Watch their screens, hear their thinking and ask your questions as they create.

From rough shapes to expressive characters. Explore a live drawing session, with the creative decisions explained as the page develops.
A blank page becomes a story. Explore scene structure, character choices and dialogue, with a script on screen and fans in the conversation.
Build a stronger comic page. Explore poses, perspective, lighting and composition, and see how each decision changes the finished image.
Three illustrative channels from a proposed global platform. Creator participation, sessions and prices are examples.
Established names. Independent voices. Exceptional new talent. A platform open to great creators wherever they come from, brought together under a brand fans know.
Every creator has their own channel and brings their own audience. Fans discover more talent, explore different techniques and find new reasons to return.
Explore creators and disciplines. Follow the channels you love and get notified when they go live.
Creators share their screens and voices from their own laptops. Watch the drawing, script or colour choices unfold.
Ask why a scene changed. Suggest a question. Learn directly through channel sessions and focused masterclasses.
An example programme combining open sessions, member access and ticketed masterclasses. Times shown in Eastern Time.

The proposal: a standalone DC-branded platform for global creative talent, with DC owning and operating the destination using GAWP® technology.
DC sets the standards, selects creators and builds direct relationships with fans. A global creative home that extends beyond its existing talent roster.
DC earns an agreed share of creator subscriptions and ticketed masterclasses, with opportunities for sponsorship and advertising. Creators earn from their own channels.
Creators invite their followers into the DC destination. Discovery across channels helps fans find new talent and gives them a reason to keep coming back.
No. The proposed platform is open to world-class creative talent from around the world, including independent creators and those without DC credits. DC would select creators and set the standards for its branded destination.
Digital drawing, scripts, colour decisions, page layouts, concept art and creative breakdowns from a global range of talent. Sessions could explore creators’ own work and techniques, with permissions agreed for any published material. Creators explain their decisions while viewers ask questions.
Follow creators, receive go-live notifications and join their sessions. Channels could offer monthly memberships, with separately ticketed masterclasses and selected free sessions.
Yes. GAWP® has built the underlying technology for live screen sharing and voice, individual creator channels, audience comments, followers, go-live notifications and paid subscriptions. This site demonstrates a proposed DC experience.
Explore the interactive channel previews above. This demonstration uses simulated screens and chat; live broadcasts, payments and registrations are not connected. DC LIVE is a proposal by Rich Stonehouse, founder of GAWP®, rather than an official DC service.
