Animals are cute... Unlike the real me... which is just a bitter, hate filled, drunken, misanthrope...... wait... I mean... look at the cute little dragon OC!

Really charming. As someone who read Scott McCloud's book back in the day, it feels really funny to see people reference it in 2026!

animals are cute ^^

^Oh.



I thought it was because animals are better than humans.

I mean, a lot of them are tastier.

LOL! Love how the human version looks!

You look really handsome. And yes, this applies to both pics.

I agree, humans are overrated XD

There's only so much variation you can give them. Sure, they have a few different face and body shapes and colors, but have you seen all these species, genera, tribes, families, orders, classes, phyla, kingdoms, and domains of animals that we have? There's just no contest.

I thought a lot of people use animals in their comics because a animal and vote certain thoughts or traits so that you wouldn't need to explicitly show them over over again for the reader to think okay this person's probably like this or this person's probably like that. Like loyalty with canines Grace and dexterity with felines speed with rabbits and don't forget rabbits are strong those kicks can do some real damage

The irony of the "cutting corners" meme while overcomplicating the punch-line...

also.. animals are cute.. ^.^

It also adds a different level of recognizability. I saw a clip of a genet grooming itself recently (adorable), and immediately thought of you and your art. I would only get that kind of recognition with people, if they look like someone I'm close to (i.e. my brother) or someone so famous/infamous that it's practically impossible to not know what they look like (i.e. Keanu Reeves).

the look of a real Doctor ^w^

Well, I am. And I do dress like that sometimes when teaching.

it's very professional looking for sure ^w^

Huh...I dunno why, I expected you to have a goatee. An now that's been confirmed...why does it feel like I'm missing some crucial detail?

When the doctor took off the face mas and suddenly you think you've got the wrong doctor

You kinda have the look of a hard sci-fi protagonist.

What can I say, I love my turtlenecks.

Bradford.

True that, but how many corners can you cut before you lose your art direction, recognition and don't fall into the lazyness side? >.<

Precisely, your art style is the corners that you can't cut. Every artist has something that they can't sacrifice no matter what.
