This is it! I finished my first comic chapter in like 15 years. Felt great to revisit the passion of my teens! Please let me know how I did and if you want me to continue with a chapter two! - Land of Ur - the comic - chapter 1 - pages 10-12

Angry looking Four horned ceratopsian with a fan like tail

This is a earth type Ur monster for our monster taming game. Can I call him Quartzenegger?

Trio of cute creatures, clockwise from top, Loofal, Penjin and Voltuar

These three kinda have starter trio energy, right?
So here's a sketch.
Their types would be Deep Blue (water), Cyclone (wind) and Bolt (electric). The types are ordered alphabetically to make it easy to remember. Each type beats the two following.

And now for something a little lighter! Here's page 4-6 of my monster taming comic. Yup that's right, the monsters are called Ur (or Uru for plural) and they can be "bound" to simple pottery jars. More of an ancient vibe than Pokemon

All Ur monsters together looking like a pokemon posters.

I wanted to try and get that classic pokemon poster look where they skrunch all the pokémon together.
Meet my collection of Ur monsters so far! I also finally got my first attempt at a logo in colors. Tell me what you think!

Nu, an ennemie from Chrono Trigger. Quite iconic design by Akira Toriyama. It has some Miyazaki energy as well.

Nu from Chrono Trigger. It only appears when it rains.
Definitely some Totoro energy in Toriyama's design. I could also see it appearing in Ponyo. Sketch by me. Original pixel art from the game for comparison.

Have a look if you're a fan of monster taming, creature collecting, Pokémon, Digimon or just JRPG's in general!
I'll be bundling these in 3 pages with a one panel eye-catcher.
It's pretty hard to get your comic actually read on bsky.

Roly Poly, another example of great monster design by Akira Toriyama. Green, pudgy and able to roll up in to a ball.

Roly Poly!! It's my favorite monster from Chrono Trigger. The whole mechanic where the imps could ride them, but you still had to target and kill them separately was so impressive to me. Square Enix didn't have to add that, but they did.

Several Chrono Trigger enemies in interesting poses and expressions.

I always thought Chrono Trigger's enemies had very interesting expressions! Of course Toriyama sensei had something to do with that. :) Bless the man. These sketches are all based on in-game pixel art fyi.

A Voltuar (left) and Joltuar (right) inside a tree

I based this concept sketch on a pair of Jaguar sitting in a tree. I thought it was too cute how the little one was just casually hanging on to the branch.

I finished the side walk-cycles for these lil critters. You will find them struttin all over our gameworld. Once you get hitboxed the true monster gets revealed. They're simple shapes but it was still hard to animate. I'm no pro so they pretty floaty in places. Tips welcome!

Bibeak in glorious colour! It's based on Anurognathus

Bibeak!! Bibeak is based on Anurognathus, but you guys already knew that, I'm sure.

Hehehe both are an option I guess. It's not much of a game yet, but we're trying! My brother handles the coding, but he's been really busy lately.

1. Skelebust 2. Makara 3. Trasasaur 4. Kannadak 5. Dolmok 6. Loofal 7. Aqualgo 8. Bumblebeef 9. Penjin 10. Cherazeen. 11. Sasqwoosh 12. Terrigul 13. Ablazeon 14. Carcajaw 15. Voltuar 16. Joltuar

Here's a collage of all the Ur monsters I've done colored art of so far. I wanted to see them together. :) Let's do a popularity poll! Who are the favorites? There's 4 rows of 4. So you can just drop a number. Names are in alt text if interested

Uyu monk and Voltuar in front of the temple entrance

Voltuar wants to play catch, but the Uyu monk is having his serene moment. The first Uyu temple you come across will be in the middle of the Urwood.

Showing several concept sketches for Penjin

This is Penjin. I'm still not exactly sure what he is, but I love him!
Let him float into your hearts!

Concept art for the water type, Aqualgo

Aqualgo is a wetland dwelling Ur monster. It evolves from Loofal. The former is based on Allosaurus and Baryonix, the latter is based on Dilophosaurus. He's an older design so I don't have that many quality sketches to show of his conception.

Loofal conceptart

As a kid, during the jurassic park craze I used to have a Dilophosaurus toy which could shoot water out of it's mouth. Then when the pokemon craze hit, it got repurposed as a water type pokemon together with a whole other bunch of toy animals we had.

ALL MOTH

Sasqwoosh and its tamer Uhmac

This is still one of my favorite monster designs I did so far. Who doesn't like a knuckle-walking gorilla-horse right? Sasqwoosh is based on the extinct Chalicotherium. It can create eery mist in the dense forests it inhabits.

Monk in front of a Uyu temple from Land of Ur.

I finally sat down and drew some free form concept art again for my monster taming game and it felt good. Might have gone a little wild on the details for the gate. I fit five Ur monsters in there and plenty of other symbolism. 😅

Flying bat like monster chasing with a nice panorama in the background

Just a flying little Ur monster that's happy to be alive. It's soaring out of its cave temple to catch some prey. I call him Bibeak!

Last time Terrigul just snapped out of his paralyzing shiver. Guess he's not wasting any time after that scare!
That wraps up this fight. Taron & Terrigul advance to the next round!!

I just finished watching "The Worlds Divide". This should not be humanly possible... Mr. Jackson wrote, directed and animated this movie by himself. We have to celebrate this genius, this perseverance, this awe-inspiring human achievement! The story is as good as the presentation! Go watch it!

Color version of cover chapter 1

I'm always looking for a sense of strong light when I'm shading. Which wasn't easy in this one because I think I made the lines a little too thick. This beefy Terror bird and Snow Platypus are about to duke it out!!
