6 panel comic

P1: An impossibly buff Garfield knockoff (with distressingly visible nipples) towers over Jon, who is cat-sized, and lying on all fours on a table surface.

P2: Same, only now Buffield points at Jon with their right hand, and reaches for him with their left. They boom: "HUMAN"

P3: Brofield lays their left hand on Jon's back with such force, the latter begins to deform.

Masculinifield demands: "I PET YOU. INITIATE THAT SOUND WHICH PLEASES ME SO"

P4: Crushing Jon even further, The Garf lowers their head menacingly to stare at their quarry.

P5: Closeup on a panicked looking and sweating Jon, as he starts shakily singing the chorus from "Hero" by Chad Kroeger.

P6: As Jon continues belting out that absolute tune from off-panel, we go to a closeup of Garry Field, their face dramatically underlit. They let out a satisfied "bueno"

A sketchy comic page rendered in blue. Two teenage girls dance under a disco ball, blushing. The taller girl, Dylan, is wearing a dark strappy dress with mesh sleeves, and has her hair up in a Rumi-style braid updo. The shorter girl, Savannah, is in a long t-shirt dress and her hair is up somewhat messily. Dylan asks, β€œYou okay? You good?” And Savannah replies β€œYes. I am… having fun with you in this space.” Dylan blushes and looks down, and says β€œCool. Me too.” while a VERY ecstatic chibi ghost version of her flies out behind her, echoing her inner thoughts.

Three characters on a gray background. Far left is Helena, a young woman with curly black hair that fades into green. She is holding up a phone flashlight. She wears all black - a stocking cap, utility jacket, a turtleneck with a cryptid skull design, cargo pants, and steel-toed boots. The middle woman, Holly, is wearing a baggy green sweater cinched at the waist with a belt, a tartan scarf, black leggings, red legwarmers and converse. She has a green Santa hat and jingle bell bracelet and a nametag. The final figure, Mistletail, is an Andalite, a centaur-type alien with a humanoid torso and a reindeer body with a long thick tail, ending in a bright blue flame.

Here is a side-by-side of my first self-published comic and a page from the new book!
2011 vs 2025.

Adventures in Crapville was the first time I used my animation training to storyboard and develop a comic. It finally felt like home for how I wanted to tell illustrated stories πŸ’›

A Palomino cartoon horse (similar to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron) sticks his head out of a horseshoe-shaped frame. He is sporting a short blond mane, heavy eyeshadow and the hint of a parade uniform. The text embossed in the horseshoe underneath him says β€œGerard Neigh”.

A predominantly red illustration of a young brunette man with glasses seated before the keys of a piano. He holds his hands over it tentatively, looking apprehensive. Behind him, shrouded behind a spotlight, are two thin young men standing back to back. On the left is a blonde man in a white shirt holding a camera and looking over his shoulder out at the viewer. On the right is a guy with a big fluffy mohawk haircut, wearing a red vinyl catsuit a la Britney Spears in the β€œOops! I Did It Again” music video. The text at the bottom of the page, under the piano keys, is dark red and says "B-SIDE YOU"

A green forest with dappled light pouring in through the trees. Two Andalites - centaur-like alien creatures with blue fur, four eyes (two on eye stalks), and blades on the tip of their long, scorpion-like tails - lay on their stomachs in the grass by a sparkling blue brook. They each stick a deer-like hoof in the water. The smaller, more periwinkle Andalite is in profile, looking out into the distance. The larger, darker blue Andalite is holding a book, and all four of his eyes are looking at the other Andalite. They blush slightly.

Fanart for β€œDungeons & Dracon Beams”, an Animorphs AU D&D podcast.

He crashed to Earth in the Dome ship, and is helping his human friends battle the Yeerks. She's a mysterious Andalite with a dark past. The two didn’t trust each other at first, but that seems to be changing…

An illustration of an Andalite - a centaur-like alien creatures with blue fur and four eyes (two on eye stalks).

A lineup of five human teenagers. The first is Zac: A lanky, pale blond boy wearing a colorful shirt, cargo pants, Van sneakers, and holding a phone and a skateboard. The second is  Dylan: a pale girl with chin-length black hair cut into a side shave. She’s wearing a black and red top with mesh accents, torn black jeans, and combat boots with red laces, and holding a phone and some car keys. The third is Kamren: A sturdy boy with light brown skin, medium-length brown hair and a grin. He’s wearing a white and sky blue letterman jacket, blue jeans, white and blue sneakers, and is holding a football. The fourth is Savannah: A tanned girl with longer brown hair and a foreboding expression. She’s wearing a baggy black cargo jacket over a green shirt, jeans, and hiking boots. A dog leash and doggy bags are sticking out of the coat pockets. The last one is mAx: a boy with lighter brown skin and reddish brown hair, wearing a colorful button up over a bright orange t-shirt, bright blue cargo shorts, and yellow Converse shoes. He’s contorted his body into a weird, wobbly pose, and he’s holding a white paper bag that says β€œMiko’s Malasadas” on it.

The same lineup of human teenagers, but they are all wearing morph outfits. Zac’s is a black long-sleeved shirt that says β€œNice is Neat” and black skinny jeans. Dylan’s is a long-sleeved athletic crop top and black shorts that go to mid-thigh. Kamren’s is a gray long-sleeved athletic shirt and knee-length basketball shorts. Savannah has a black sports bra and hi-rise leggings with a mesh accent. mAx has black bike shorts and a white t-shirt that says β€œThe Gardens” on it in purple font surrounded by lime green animal footprints.
