Okay. If you like odd, conflicted, twisting stories involving death, life, afterlife, confused vampires and other supernatural/preternatural creatures, you HAVE to check out [info]blogofstench aka ModernWizard's digital soap/comic "Love Has Fangs." You can find it in a number of places:

1) The main site, http://oddpla.net/lhf/
2) The RSS LJ feed, http://lovehasfangs.livejournal.com/
3) deviantArt, modernwizard.deviantart.com

Right now, MW's working on a reboot. The strip started as one-off comics, using mixed-scale action figures and dolls. It grew into using primarily sixth-scale action figure photography, but MW was never quite satisfied with the medium. It got difficult, and expensive, and could never quite portray things the exact way she wanted them to look.

Then she discovered DazStudio. And suddenly, things started to click. She could manipulate the digital people into the exact poses she wanted, without the action figures' limitations of physical articulation. Facial expressions could be tweaked. And Love Has Fangs started to come back to life (or undeath).

I'm fairly excited to see what new stories she'll be telling. The current posts are familiarizing us with the new look of the old characters, and I believe, IIRC, new stories are supposed to start tomorrow?

Give it a look.
