Gypsy the Munchkin Cat

If I were to make a webcomic it would be about my cat Gypsy and all the stuff he does. the internet loves cats so I feel like it'd be a hit. Also in its short format and concept it'd be easy to update often and quickly so I would be able to get more pages done on a weekly basis.


Looking good ladies!~

Another comic based on things that have actually happened to me and friends while walking anywhere at anytime of day or day of the week. This comic is 'female friendly' because it's about something that happens to women wherever they go, regardless of how they actually look. Street Harassment is something that me and friends deal with every day, even while walking around the edges of the school campus. Yet if you yell something derogatory at a guy they have no idea what to do, because they get to walk around their entire lives with no fear of being harassed or bothered by anyone.


Student Life

I find it a lot easier to make comics about my life and things in it rather than making up fictional situations that are appealing and relatable to others because what's more relatable than real life? Although this is a simple page and simple idea I think a lot of students, here at Ringling and average College students, can relate to. Starting out a night of work, fresh and energetic and ending it asleep at the computer while dreaming about successfully completing the work. I personally have dreamt about things like this a lot, when you have a lot on your plate it's hard to not have that work follow you into your dreams. If this was a longer comic that's something that I would try and showcase, how work and stress from our awake life can affect our dreams. Though the fun style of it would make it a lot more carefree looking than the general idea sounds on paper

FIGHT!!!

I read Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comics! I really liked the humor and the style of these comics. Also getting to use screen tones was really fun. I looked a lot at O'Malley's traditional brush inking, style and panel layout when planning out this page.


Day Tripping

Since I already did a page of comics earlier in the year inspired by Georges Remi this time I decided to look at Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon. I was inspired by the coloring/mood that I saw in a lot of their covers for the comic Daytripper.

Having done so many panel comics this semester I wanted to try showing a narrative without using boxes or words. This is the story of my cat growing up into a giant adult cat.
