Oh look, it's #PortfolioDay

I'm a freelance animator and work on my own stories in my spare time. Been testing the waters with comics recently!

Back in my day, the internet was full of child-friendly quality entertainment.

Some sketches. The way she draws the sword changed quite a bit from the initial sketch. Lifting a heavy sword over her head seemed unnecessarily dangerous..

Mogu thought he was being clever, failing to consider the giant, prehensile extra limb.

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Lago and her adoptive father Mogu discuss an old sword that belonged to her master. Mogu claims that she will be allowed to keep it, as soon as she grew tall enough to pull it out in one go. Lago struggles to unsheathe the large claymore with her puny arms, but soon switches to her prehensile tail to draw the weapon fully, with a defiant look on her face. Mogu didn't account for that possibility and hastily announces that her tail doesn't count, while his son Emil laughs at the whole situation.

I haven't drawn grown-up Lago in a while, so here goes. Felt good to work on something more detailed inbetween comic pages.
Even with references, abs are still tricky to get right, huh.

Haven't drawn grown-up Lago in a while, so I'm in the process of making sure I can still do it.

I made a simple rpg system to keep track of strengths and weaknesses for my characters, it's easy to manage and modify.

Their japanese names use basic katakana (RaGo, EMiRu, ShiFu) so it should be alright, but let me know if I wrote anything bad on there.

Lago, Emil and Sif pose with their printed-out rpg character sheets. Sif notices that "rambunctious" is one of her traits and asks what that word means. Her father replies that it describes her continuous efforts to keep him alert. Sif, failing to understand that "rambunctious" may be a negative trait, assures her father that she will keep it up.

Doing little info box portraits. Almost makes me want to open rpgmaker to make an Omori-style rpg..

Emil looks so much better now, with his hair visible under the hood.

Another mystery solved.
Emil's character design kinda fell behind the other two, so I updated him a bit. Even I didn't know what was under that hood until I made this comic..

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Sif wants to find out what is hiding under Emils hood and recruits Lago as a distraction. Emil's hairstyle is revealed as Sif sneaks up on him and pulls his hood down. Lago pretends to see his hair for the first time, prompting an annoyed Emil to point out the fact that they share the same bedroom and that she should've seen his hair before. Sif just stares at him, seemingly satisfied with her discovery.

Skin texture on Mario would look awful, but I assume Nintendo wanted at least SOME tactile feeling, so they went for the clothing and his most iconic feature, the mustache. Makes sense to me, it's just hard to find the perfect balance.
His mustache reminds me of Duplo though.

No wonder she's always starving.

Six panels? I'm starting to push against the constraints of the 4koma format..

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Emil asks Lago how her biological energy household works. Instead of simply giving a verbal explanation, Lago uses up most of her energy to perform continuous shapeshifting feats until she ends up exhausted.

A rare smug Lago.
When I sketch her, the head is oftentimes just a blob.

The instructions are clear, what could go wrong?

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Sif asks Lago to take a deep breath before blowing on a dandelion to make the seeds fly away. Lago proceeds to inhale so hard that the seeds get pulled out and fly into her throat instead. The last two panels are dedicated to Lago having a coughing fit.

Shocking.

I feel called out.

Emil hears noise in the house at night and decides to investigate. He finds his sister Lago munching on bread in the pantry and scolds her for randomly eating so late at night. When Emil turns to his father for backup, he is disappointed to see that he too holds a late-night-dinner ready for consumption.

A slightly older Lago, happy with her new kneepads and leg upgrade. I'll have to come up with a suitable shoe to go along with it, she can't keep running around barefoot forever..

Small continuation of the previous comic.
Please let this one remain a mystery, Lago. Think of the carpet..

#digitalart #oc #comic
Lago claims that her stomach acid can dissolve almost anything. While her brother wonders how they could verify that claim, Lago begins to regurgitate some acid to drip onto her scaley hands, to the panicked protest of Emil.

Only Emil has permission to dissect her.

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga
Lago transmutes her body to grow scales and big claws over her arms. Emil notices and asks her to come over for a second. He begins to prod her scaled arm to satisfy his obsessive, scientific curiosity while Lago just casually lays on a couch, implying that she is used to it. Lago asks her brother to wake her up once he's done.

Surely this means we will finally get a port of the best Mario Game.
Mario Paint box art, featuring front- and backside in a new composition made by thecoverproject.net.
