Beautifully presented

I've been subscribing since the first issue was offered and these periodicals are a treasured part of my personal library. The artwork is as skillful as it is well-presented. Insofar, I would like to see more varied styles and themes since it's often a bit too cutesy for my personal taste. That said, I still look forward to purusing each issue.

Great and inspirational work

I really enjoy every issue that I have received so far. The interviews are interesting, the tutorials engaging, and the great artwork gives great re-read value.

Fantastic

It's always a joy to see my new issue of this magazine arrive. The insight on various artists and there processes and techniques are both informative and inspiring for artists just starting our or those looking to try a new approach. Also, it introduces you to works and artists you may have never heard before, which is also very nice.

One-Of-A-Kind Resource

There is no other resource out there that compares to CDQ! If you are in the industry or even if you are not (like me). You will learn so much about creating characters. Even more important is the number of artists you will be exposed to that you most likely wouldn’t encounter anywhere else!,!.
