It’s #Microcomicsummer day! Featuring: my dinosaur poetry from 4th grade! Except for the sketches, this entire project was done in one day using the grease pencil tool in Blender. It was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it even more! #comic

A 2 panel digital ink and watercolor illustration. Panel 1, a colorful allosaurus prancing proudly, a small flower sits on the ground by its feet. The caption reads, “‘I,’ said the Allosaurus, ‘Am a jolly creature. I have the brightest colors, lo, The brightest you’d ever feature!’” Panel 2, the colorful allosaurus reacts in sheepish shock as an even more colorful flower speaks to it. The caption reads, “‘But how?’ asked the Flower--Who was not yet in existence--’Are you sure you have the brighter colors? Brighter than me, for instance?’”.

A 2 panel digital ink and watercolor illustration. Panel 1, the allosaurus cartoonishly leaps into the air with his jaws wide open, the flower caught in his shadow. The caption reads, “The Allosaurus then leapt up, To bite the little Flower…” Panel 2, the colorful allosaurus sits on his haunches and looks widely from side to side. The caption reads, “But seeing that it was not around…”

A 2 panel digital ink and watercolor illustration. Panel 1, the allosaurus slumps over, dead with little x’s over his eyes and a cartoonish allosaurus skull and crossbones hovering over his head. The caption reads, “He died and lost his power.” Panel 2, an even more colorful flower grows upon a grassy hill where the colorful allosaurus died. The caption reads, “The Flower sat upon his grave, He then laughed and said aloud: ‘For one’s brains, or strength, or colors, One should never be too proud.’”

A photograph of two pages from Al Figgy’s fourth grade journal with a hand written poem. The poem reads, “Colors, “I,” said the Allosaurus,
“Am a jolly creature.”
“I have the brightest colors, lo,”
“The brightest you’d ever feature!”

“But how?” asked the Flower,
Who was not yet in existence,
“Are you sure you have the brighter colors?”
“Brighter than me, for instance?”

The Allosaurus then leapt up,
To bite the little Flower...
But seeing that it was not around
He died and lost his power.

The Flower sat upon his grave,
He then laughed said aloud:
“For one’s brains, or strength, or colors,
“One should never be too proud.”

A two panel preview of Champion Chapter 3 page 7. Panel 1, the Serpent in her human form dramatically places her hand to her forehead and exclaims to a person off-panel, “While you have enjoyed the warm Allight and the scent of nubile spring buds, She has tirelessly fought to defend the people of this Land as they are endlessly beset by vicious, venomous serpents!” Panel 2, the Serpent smiles broadly as she continues speaking, “You’ll surely agree--a noble Champion of her standing deserves only the biggest, best, and most luxurious private accommodations that your lovely inn can provide!”

A preview of Champion Chapter 3 page 6. In Panel 1, the Champion recalls the myth of the weaving of the fabric of reality. All, a plump goddess with a dress of wings and sun-shaped afro spins golden solarflares into thread. Ur, a wiry goddess goat legs hooks the thread into a spiral of fabric with her Shepherd’s crook. The Champion says, “Her handiwork? But it was All and Ursuthis who created the Fabric of Reality! “ In Panel 2, the Serpent in her human form gesticulates widely at her more cartoony interpretation of the myth. All and Ur hold hands and spin golden thread together, All looks spacey and happy while Ur looks devious. In the foreground Shei’apstis irritatedly weaves the thread into a bolt of fabric. The Serpent narrates, “All might have spun the thread, and that nanny-goat Ur might have stitched the whole piece together...But who do you think wove the bolts in the first place, eh? Shei’apstis the Weaver--
working thanklessly and unacknowledged as always!--is who!

A preview of Champion Chapter 3 page 4. The Serpent in her human form points accusingly at the Champion and says, “Obvious that I’m a Daughter of Shei, is that it? What about that hair of yours, eh? I notice you’re not in any rush to conceal your parentage!” The Champion, self conscious of her hair, stands defensively and replies, “That’s slightly different--” The Serpent continues, “Of course! Because your Father is Rain and Fortune and all those nice things! Shei’apstis isn’t just Poison and Trickery, y’know! She’s Weaver and Dancer too! Is being seen with a Serpent really going to stain your spotless reputation that bad?” The Champion answers, “Yes, it might, actually!”

I’m so hungry!”. The Champion replies, “Not likely this late in the season…”

A digital ink and watercolor illustration of the Champion webcomic chapter 3 cover. The champion and the serpent in her human form stand in a large bird's nest made of pine trees and branches. Boulder-sized eggs sit in the nest along with a human skull and various bones. A t-rex-sized harpy eagle-like monster menaces the pair with its beak open, eyes glaring, and massive talons clenching the side of the nest as it prepares to strike. The Serpent kneels on the floor of the nest and looks frightenedly at the bird monster as she reaches up to the Champion. The Champion stands protectively over the Serpent with her sword drawn, preparing to face off against the bird monster.

A terribly drawn comic. Panel 1, Terribly-drawn AL Figgy looks at her terribly-drwn phone as it dies, her expression nonchalant as she says, "Zounds! Myne beloved cell phone hath given up the ghost". Panel 2, Terribly-drawn AL Figgy smiles smugly and says, "No matter, for we live in such a blessed age bountiful with cellular devices and stellar customer service, securing a replacement is certain to be a quick and painless undertaking!" Panel 3, Terribly-drawn AL Figgy is squashed and pixelated, her colors inverted as a large red 'WRONG' stamp appears over her face."

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Marv the Tanner sits on a barrel in front of his house working on a hide. A narration box reads, “Sequestered away from the comforts and judgment of civilization, MARV, single father, labors tirelessly to provide for his God-Borne, Wolf-shifting son…” Marv yawns loudly. Panel 2, Marv blinks tiredly. Panel 3, Marv looks into the distance and sees the Champion stride out of the forest. Panel 4, Marv squints, not quite believing what he’s seeing. Panel 5, the Champion, looking determined and pissed off. Marv thinks off panel, “What the--?! What’s a Daughter of Eutratis doing out here?!” Panel 5, Marv is petrified with fear, “Oh Gods. Today’s the day. She’s come from the Capital to take Tam away…”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Marv the Tanner looks closer and thinks, “Hold on a moment...lt doesn’t look like she’s wearing any lmperial regalia?” Three different soldiers appear behind him, all bearing the same five pointed star with a tall upper point: a footsolder with a sword, a spearbearer with a shield, and a messenger on a horse with a bird-shaped helmet. Marv’s thoughts continue, “What is she then? A Champion for hire?” Panel 2, Marv continues to worry, “I haven’t let Tam out of my sight! He can’t be in trouble, can he? There’s no reason for her to be here!” Panel 3 Marv’s eyes widen in horror and thinks, “Unless…OH GODS! lt’s Relumis all over again!” An imagination scene plays out behind him, the Champion boorishly grabs Marv by the collar and says, “You’re with me, little man!” while Marv struggles helplessly and says, “Please, Lord! Have mercy!”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Marv rationalises to himself, “Calm down, Marv! Maybe it wouldn’t be so terrible for Tam to have a sibling? He’s so lonely out here…” Panel 2, Marv continues to think, “But the Huntress is a Wolf, and so TAM is a Wolf...But if SHE’S a daughter of Eutratis, and HE is the Horned Stallion, then…” Behind Marv is an imagined epic scene of his son Tam happily riding a rearing unicorn. Lightning flashes and flares dramatically from the unicorn’s horn. Panel 3, Marv frantically shuts down his line of thinking, “NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I don’t know anything about taking care of horses!”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, the Champion speaks indistinctly, “Good-Eve, friend! Has your tannery been afflicted by any blah-blahs or blah-dee-blahs bleh-blah bleh-blah?” as Marv tries to pluck up his courage, “You have to stand up to her, Marv! Just take a breath and tell her--” Panel 2, Marv yells a loud and decisive, “NO!” Panel 3, the Champion is taken aback by Marv’s sudden outburst and Marv, having finally heard what the Champion actually asked, stammers, “--What? Uh…I mean…” Panel 4, a narration box reads, “And so, immediately following the events of Champion Chapter 2 Page 11…” Panel 5, Marv kneels on the ground and desperately attempts to reason with Tam, “TAM--whatever you do!--DO NOT BOTHER THAT LADY!” Tam whines, “Aw, PA! What for?!” Marv answers, “You’ll understand when you’re older. JUST LET HER REST, AND PRAY SHE WON’T ASK FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!”

Panel 3, Marv closes his eye and takes a deep breath. Panel 4 , he turns and smiles off-panel to Tam and says, “Yes, baya?” Panel 5, Marv’s eyes nearly pop out of his head as Tam excitedly holds up the dead rooster and proudly says, “I got us supper!” Panel 6, in the background Marv holds the dead rooster and indistinctly scolds Tam. In the foreground, the Serpent and the Champion sit behind the house. The Serpent waves her arms casually and says, “ “C’mon, don’t be so hard on yourself, Champ! We’re just figments of a severely under-socialized kid’s imagination! How’re we s’pposed to know a band on a fowl’s leg means some-one owns it?” Meanwhile, the Champion sobs, “It was a PET! It was somebody’s PET!”

Tam & Pals 04 Today's comic is brought to you by the following memes... The comic: champion.thecomicseries.com | patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, the Serpent rests her arm on Tam’s head and speaks to the off-Panel Champion, “You cannot ssseriously be suggesting that this fine fat fowl should be burnt to a useless crisp?” Tam gasps excitedly, “What else can we do?!” Panel 2, the Serpent leans down conspiratorially, “Well, kid, whaddaya say we pluck it, coat it in grainflour, spices, n’ salt and slowly roast it over a medium-flame hearth from now till Allset?.” Panel 3, Tam jumps up and down excitedly, “Just like Pa does spring- time squab?!” “Just like Pa does spring- time squab!” the Serpent answers. Panel 4, the Champion yells, “LADY SNAKE!” from off-panel. Tam giggles as the Serpent whispers, “Uh-oh! Here comes the FUN patrol!” Panel 5, the Champion crosses her arms and says, “That fowl--a sacred emissary of All--
was killed by his snare! Its life needs to be honored accordingly!” The Serpent waves her arms incredulously, “ Goat-rot! You expect a son of THE Huntress to let a kill go to waste?!” Panel 6, the Champion and the Serpent yell in each other’s faces. The Champion shouts, “Our young Champion- to-be needs to obey the laws and customs of the Land!” while the Serpent argues, “Customs, schmustoms! That stupid fowl got itself killed fair and square!” Panel 7, the verbal fight escalates into a big ball of violence as fists, stars, and childish insults fly, “Rat breath!” “Horse face!” “Thunder Butt!” “Worms fer brains!” Panel 8, the Serpent ferally bites the Champion’s hand with a mighty “KHOMP!”. The Champion shrieks, “YEEOWWIE! STOP IT! We’re setting a terrible example as grown-ups!” Panel 9, the Serpent moodily sulks and the Champion rationalizes, “Look, I’m sure we can all agree, the fowl was Tam’s kill, so it’s his choice what happens to it! Right, Tam?” Panel 10 the Champion looks bewildered at the spot where Tam was and says, “Tam?” The Serpent smirks, “HA! Kid got bored of your windbagging and ran off!”

A screenshot of two memes. Meme 1, Twitter user Memichuu tweets, “I asked my mom if she knew what yaoi was and she said "That scream Tom does on Tom and Jerry". Meme 2, a feral white non-descript cartoon character with red eyes and sharp teeth holds an even smaller cartoon character with a frowning face.

Tam & Pals 03 Man...the Bill Watterson/Calvin & Hobbes style is so deceptively difficult to recreate...but also a very good lesson to myself to not be so addicted to overcomplication in my drawings! The comic: champion.thecomicseries.com | patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. The Champion puts a comforting hand on Tam’s shoulder and says, “It’s true, the wildsfowl is the emissary of your Grandmaman All!” inside the Champion’s speech bubble, a cartoony drawing of the Goddess All benevolently hugs a chicken close to her. The Champion continues, “And thus, we mortal- borne peoples are forbidden from killing them for food and fun--” Tam protests helplessly, “I was trying to catch rats! I didn’t mean to kill it!” Panel 2. Tam excitedly swings on the Champion’s arm as she says, “Well, since it was an accident, I’m sure She will pardon you! But there are some Championly Duties that we have to fulfill first!” Tam excitedly says “Championly Duties? YAY! What are they?! Tellme-tellme- tellme!!!” Panel 3. The Champion is so tall that only part of her is visible in frame as she speaks, “First, you need to free it from the snare...Then, its body needs to be burned, so that its Yiltithea (The life force of all living things) can ascend to the Gardens--” Tam holds up the dead wildsfowl, noticing a silver band around its leg, “Lady Champion? What’s it wearin’ a bracelet for?” Panel 4. The Champion and Tam are tiny in the panel as the Champion tries to come up with an answer, “Oh! Well, obviously that’s because...Because...Hmm...I don’t know why that is, actually…” Panel 5. An unseen person rests their arm casually on Tam’s head and speaks, “Ignoring for a moment your inability to comprehend the trappings of modern fashion, Lady Champion…” Tam is excited to see whoever the stranger is while the Champion petulantly crosses her arms and says, “Ah...How wonderful of you to finally join us…”

Tam & Pals 02 The Adventure begins… The comic: champion.thecomicseries.com | patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Tam, a young boy wearing bracers and a headband jaunts happily across a log bridging a forested spring. A narration box hangs in the corner and says, “The Wilds--the untamed fields and woods lurking at the edges of civilization--teem with countless, unseen dangers at every turn…Tam Relu’baya, Son of Relumis the Huntress and Champion-to-be, fearlessly ventures into the unknown for a day of training--and adventure!” Tam happily sings to himself, ““Ak-Ak-Ak,” says the All-yellow chick...“Ku-Koo-Uu,” says the Land-brown calf...“Ok-Ok-Ok,” says the Sea-green crab...“Ree-Ree-Hee,” says the Cloud-white foal…” Panel 2, Tam pushes aside tall grass and his singing is interrupted, ““Sh-Sh-Shss,” says the Magic-purple--Huh?” Panel 3 Tam notices a dead rooster caught in a crude rope snare and shrieks, “YlPE! What’sa WlLDSFOWL doing in my snare?!” Panel 4, Tam anxiously hops up and down and cries, “Aw, ROT! What do I do?! Grandmaman ALL is going to KlLL me! I need help!” Panel 5, Tam looks up off-panel as a large hand settles on his shoulder, an unseen person reassures him, “Shh, it’s going to be alright, little brother--” Panel 6 the owner of the voice is revealed as the Champion, smiling sweetly, Tam says, “Lady Champion!”

Champion Halloween: Hercules Well, 🗡️, you might feel that way about her for now but who knows what the future holds... The comic: champion.thecomicseries.com | patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

An ink and watercolor illustration of The Champion and The Serpent dressed as Hercules and Megara from Hercules 1997. The Serpent wrings out her hair and playfully flirts, “Ssssoooo…did they give you a name along with those rippling pectorals?” The Champion, holding the Serpent’s missing sandal out for her to take, smiles wryly, “Nice Try.”

The Serpent has grabbed the Champion by the collar and yells desperately, “If I got crushed to death by a pillar to save you and my soul went to the Underworld, you’d come down and get me out right? You’d come and get me out, RIGHT?!” The Champion, trying to wrench the Serpent’s hands away, shouts back, “Keep pestering me and I’ll drop the pillar on you myself!”

An ink and watercolor illustration of the Champion and the Serpent dressed as Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens. The Serpent lifts her sunglasses and inspects her pants saying, “Fire below, how does this guy see anything with these on? How am I supposed to see anything with these things? And there’s barely room for my purse in these pants, how does he manage to fit a prick in these?!” Meanwhile the Champion wheezes under the multiple suffocating layers of suit as she tries to loosen her bowtie.

For the record, 🐍 can sing quite well, but chooses not to because it is funnier to her. Champion Minicomic: Reveries wraps up today with page 9! champion.thecomicseries.com , and Nib tier and above patrons are 1 month ahead! patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A 2 panel preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries” Page 9. In Panel 1, the Champion and the Serpent walk down a forested road together. The Champion walks purposefully ahead, hands clamped over her ears, while the Serpent dances along behind, singing to herself, “...I went down to Koulashei Market...La-da-ba-dee La-dee-ba-doo…” A glowing orange butterfly Reverie spell follows behind the Serpent, fluttering into the scene from outside of the panel borders. In panel 2, the Serpent’s song is suddenly cut off as the Reverie lands on her face with a splattery, “Piff!”

My script notes for this panel were: “[Champion] catches [Serpent] in such a way that is anything but heroic or skillful.” Champion Minicomic: Reveries, Pg 8 is up! champion.thecomicseries.com , and Nib tier and above patrons are 1 month ahead! patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries” Page 8. The Serpent’s front half is wrapped tightly around a pillar so hard she’s cracking it as the Champion tries to pull her down by the tail. The Champion has the handle of her sword clamped in her teeth and a ripped open pillowcase in her other hand, downy goose feathers from the pillow litter the floor. Talloul cries dramatically on the ground as her bewildered father tries to comfort her. The Serpent, in the past, narrates the scheme of the scene, ““Any minute now, my bull-headed, fluffy-haired friend is going to come barging in here, sword drawn, with the singular task of HEROICALLY and SKlLLFULLY dispatching the vicious, venomous SERPENT that’s vexing you...Meanwhile, YOU(Talloul) will be putting those ear-piercing TEARS of yours to good use…”

Familial ties are clarified and a plan is hatched in Champion Minicomic: Reveries Pg 7! champion.thecomicseries.com , and Nib tier and above patrons are 1 month ahead! patreon.com/alegrafigeroid #comic #illustration

A 2 panel preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries”, Page 7. In Panel 1, Talloul tearfully reaches across the panel borders to cling to the Serpent’s skirt as she begs, “But you’re a Daughter of Shei`apstis the Defiant?! ln the Afore-Days, your Father defied the wills of the Foremothers when He refused to wed Era the Unknown! Don’t you see? You’re exactly who my Kiss was meant for!” Behind Talloul, a mythological imagination sequence plays out as Shei’apstis, an unbothered and flamboyant young god, flips a rude hand gesture to four scandalised middle-aged goddesses: One made of stone, one of flame, one of water, and one of cloud.

In Panel 2, the serpent angrily recoils from Talloul’s grasp as she tries to escape the confines of the panel border. The Serpent scolds Talloul, “Were you asleep for the part of the Odes when Shei--MY MOTHER----Was banished to Akor* for doing exactly that?! Sure, it was also for the “Poisoning of Eutratis” thing...But my point stands!” A much more crude and childishly drawn mythological imagination sequence plays out behind the Serpent. A group of six gods sit on a white moon. A sea-green god cries dramatically over Eutratis, a sky-blue god with x-ed out eyes. A stone-brown god looks aghast and a red goddess and yellow goddess make out distractedly behind him. An angry orange goddess with goat horns casts a fiery blast from her shepherd’s crook and Shei’apstis, in the form of a spindly purple snake with cartoonishly bugged-out orange eyes, is blasted onto a little blue planet far below.

A 2 panel preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries”, Pg 6. In panel 1, Talloul looks off-panel as her father calls her name, “Talloul?” Behind her, the Serpent is shrouded in a puff of lavender smoke as she transforms with a “Shnng!” In Panel 2, Talloul looks at the closed door of her room and cries out a surprised, “Papan?!“ Her father speaks muffledly from behind the door, “Talloul? Are you alright, my dear? I heard a scream!“ The Serpent slithers hurriedly down from the bed and races across the tile floor and beyond the panel border. She things angrily to herself, “Argh! What am I DOING?! Wasting time lecturing some IDIOT MAIDEN long enough to get caught by her stupid FATHER?!”

A 2 panel preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries”, Pg 6. In panel 1, the Serpent slithers over the railing of a balcony, and thinks angrily to herself, “What the **** is she talking about? I’m not biting ANYBODY tonight! I’m outta here--” In Panel 2, the Serpent is suddenly wrenched backward, her orange eyes popping out cartoonishly as she makes a comical, “HYURK!” sound.

The glowing pink reverie love spell flutters over her face. In Panel 2, the reverie smacks the serpent on the mouth with a loud ‘PAF!’ and the entire panel glows a bright pink. In panel 3, the Serpent, now with a pink smudge on her mouth in the shape of the reverie, sits up awake and dazed with her hair askew as she tries to figure out what’s just happened. In panel 4, the Serpent blushes happily and giggles to herself with a hazy, “hee hee hee…”
