Welcome back artists! 🖌️🎨👩‍🎨✨ Quote post with an old piece that you still like! I made this two years ago for an OC zine! I still love the glitchy effects

Illustrated portrait of Maddie, a young teenage girl with long brown hair and bangs. She is covering part of her face and has her eyes closed with a transient facial expression. She is illuminated by the glowing glitch effects that are dripping down her face and body. The background is black and has remnants of glitchy chaos.

if you love me, show me your obsession the "strange" feeling turns into an unbearable longing we can go as far as we want 🐝 #art #oc #illustration

digital illustration inspired by the official artwork for the Vocaloid song Magnet. Yellow Jacket and Maddie Cinder from my webcomic Future Agents are locked in a passionate gaze while Yellow Jacket has a caution symbol illuminated on its helmet. Maddie looks exhausted as her eye is illuminated by the HUDset display. The blurry nighttime skyline of Chicago is in the background.

I wanted to represent how addicting the technology of the HUDset can be, and how manipulative Yellow Jacket is. 🐝

Niles has a second son, Frederick. He was the first big investor of the HUDset and HUDtech and is the one who introduced Clyde to the Future Agents and helped him obtain a deal with Niles. Niles looks very similar to his father.

Here's everyone's relationship to Maddie in the Future Agents Amy: Doesn't like her Karner: Tries to be a mentor Li: Empathizes with her struggles Weston: Wants the best for her Siren: Concerned about her safety Niles: Doesn't acknowledge her Clyde: Wonders if they're related Vince: Doesn't know her

Amy is asexual and aromantic. She realized this from a pretty early age.

Maddie used to white, but now she's half Latina. Her mom being from Puerto Rico is a big part of the prequel series.

Maddie probably has undiagnosed anxiety. She tends to worry and overthink a lot. It's a shame she keeps finding herself in stressful situations in the comic.

Clyde is more of a business man than an innovator. And he's always willing to put his ethics aside for a bigger paycheck.

Emelia is the founder of XTech, which is HUDtech's biggest competitor. She is working on some augmented reality glasses, but they aren't exactly the most innovative device. The release of the HUDset really put a strain on her business.

Tiff is one of Maddie's gymnastics teammates. She's a bit abrasive and can be a little mean spirited, but she gets along well with her teammates.

Nadia is about to turn 18 and graduates high school around the time the comic takes place. She'll also be aging out of the Pink Stars gymnastics program, and was really hoping for a gymnastics scholarship. Unfortunately, that's not in the cards for her but she might have another opportunity!

Niles has a gold HUDset, most likely because he believes in Clyde's invention so much. Interestingly enough, you never see him use it. 👀

I created Vince in 2015. He is Niles' less successful son. Originally, he was supposed to be the snarky deadbeat agent who had a very dangerous side, but now he's a computer whiz that stays in his closet office working on some mysterious classified work.

Vince's updated character design that highlights his new personality more accurately. He is standing next to his father Niles.

Siren was originally a self insert persona and was never supposed to be a character in the series. But I liked their design so much that I made them canon and gave them their own personality and storyline. This is the first drawing I did in 2013 (technically it's just me in an agent suit lol)

I first designed Yellow Jacket in 2014. The original story behind YJ was that they were someone in the Future Agents living a double life. This concept art is the first drawing I ever made of them in 2014.

The main villains of Future Agents used to be Dr. Suzuki and his wife Valerie (the big heads in the movie poster below) They were your stereotypical cartoon villains who wanted to take over the world. This poster is from 2011

Clyde is the type of person to wear the same suit every day. He used to wear a gray turtleneck under this navy suit until an investor told him to do something different.

Niles is arguably worse than Clyde as far as bad things he’s done in his life. I can’t say more… yet.

Amy almost didn’t graduate basic training to become a field agent. She had to retake the test twice and barely passed the 2nd time. Karner had to give her special training and encouraged her a lot. He also requested she be in his segment, because no other head agent wanted her assigned to their team

Comic panel of Amy covering her mouth and nose with her eyes closed while saying, "Looks like things just got a lot more complicated." There is blood spattered all over the floor.

I started a mini comic for fun but got a little side tracked with other life things so never finished it. I have a lot of ideas that don’t really fit in the main story but could be fun one shots.

Here's a little look into my webcomic process. I use CSP for my comic! 1. Thumbnails with 3D models (sometimes I do a pre-thumbnail with stick figures) and lettering 2. Sketch characters 3. Lineart (P.S. I reuse backgrounds a lot too) 4. Flats + Gradient Map 5. Shading + Details

Maddie and Nadia were originally friends but they were too cute together so I made crush on each other. Fingers crossed they confess their feelings for each other soon.

Karner went into the Army right after he graduated high school. He served for four years with the intention of getting his education benefits, but Niles Pennington met him during a career fair and recruited him to work for the Future Agents.

Sometimes I worry people think they're supposed to take everything about my webcomic super seriously. But truth be told, there's some corniness that is intentionally baked in. I'm not afraid to lighten the mood, add a little quirkiness, and even insert a meme or two. You gotta laugh at Clyde

Truth be told, I don't have a name for Maddie's dad. Part of the fun is that he is always referred to as "Maddie's dad."

Here's some art that I don't feel particularly proud of. Ironically, they all feature Amy. 😅

People want to see Amy and Siren together, so sometimes I'll entertain the crackship. It will never be canon though because they really don't get along together in the story.

Yellow Jacket is not a real person and is actually a digital entity (and also most likely a virus created by someone to hack the HUDset)

I'm working on a page format version of Future Agents that I will be sharing on my own website. Includes bonus new scenes and updated artwork.

Karner is a good man at heart who loves his family dearly. But his wife is in hospice and it's eating away at him, especially when he is forced to attend to work.

I do have a prequel comic in the works featuring Clyde and Emelia. It's called "Georgia on My Mind" and it's based on their time in uni at Georgia Tech.

Future Agents takes place in 2033, so it's very much relevant to today's world with the bonus of having slightly advanced technology. I wanted to parallel a lot of current events.
