Neutral Chaos Archipelago
I guess I have "fake" series on the brain these days, because while I was having fun making up that Sonic-style Baker and Dipper universe, I was also goofing around fleshing out Alicia's favourite TV show, Neutral Chaos Archipelago.
This poster was a test piece! I wanted it to have a bit of an "animated series" look, so I tried using thinner, more evenly-weighted lineart and psuedo-painted backgrounds. I was pretty happy with the result, and I hope y'all get a kick out of it, too.
That's all for today, team. But see you on Friday!

Life Comics
And this is why I don't do more autobio comics!
There's a secondary aspect to this comic conceptually that I really enjoy. In comics, when you have to depict an artist character drawing something, you generally draw their drawing in a simpler art style than your comic's art style, to make it clear that it's meant to be an in-universe drawing. So in this comic, I wanted to show that each successive version of Sam is drawing their comic in a simpler style than the style of the reality he lives in. (And that's why I didn't just copy/paste the first two panels over and over and just make them smaller. Haha!)
See you on Wednesday, team!

Three corgis
Skull Panda felt left out! (Also, I just thought it would be amusing to see the three different characters interacting while drawn in their respective art styles.)
I hope you had a great week, team. Come back here on Monday for our next comic!
