I love conventions so damn much.

#I got in to Midsummer Scream with only about an hour left until closing in a frazzled mindset but coming across this group doing twisted- #-kids’ & folk songs as soon as I got in made everything better #I also ended up talking to a couple artists I really admire (Aaron Alexovich & Rhode Motijo) who were the sweetest #Very happy to finally have a hard copy of Alexovich’s Serenity Rose - and with a lil’ doodle when he signed it too! #I … may have already bought too many books tonight. I did not account for this w/my luggage. Halp.

-jthm cosplay that i made myself :)

-anne gwish tshirt that i made because i only ever found ONE listing for the original and it was bought already :,,(

all of my individual issues of johnny the homicidal maniac came organically to me as i work at a comic book shop and people have sold collections to the owner and he gave me the issues for free!! (he used them temporarily as fly swatters because anything that isnt first printing is worthless)

i also have a small collection of lenore the cute little dead girl if any one is interested. my love for jthm was blossomed from the love i had of lenore when i was young. i grew up with my dad at the comic book store he worked at (the same one i work at now!) and he would buy me the individual issues and hardcover lenore books as they came out. i had to have been 6 or 7 which i probably shouldnt have been reading bloody comics full of profanity but FUCK IT! they changed my life and the more i learned about roman dirge, the more i learned about jhonen vasquez with jthm and aaron alexovich with serenity rose (honorable mention jim mahfood). they inspired me to create my own comic that has helped me to cope with a lot of emotions and personal trauma over this past couple years.

The IZ comics have 15 extremely cool artists and here's a slight guide on how to identify them :3

Aaron Alexovich

- typically more dynamic and what i would describe as a “scratchy” artstyle

Issues: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16, "Gir's Big Day", "Holiday Special", "The Dookie Loop Horror"

KC Green

- very silly and colorful style, creator of the “this is fine” comic/meme

Issues: 6, "Bitters and the Witch", 31

Dave Crosland

- more detailed style, similar to Alexovich but a bit cleaner

Issues: 7, 8, 9, 10, 21, "Invasion!"

Sarah Andersen

- another very silly style, though simpler than KC’s, creator of the “Sarah Scribbles” webcomics

Issue: 11

Warren Wucinich

- main artist and letter-er, typically stays fairly true to the original style though is a bit more round and curvier

Issues: 12, 13, 14, "Tales of Bitter", "The Evil Ms.Bitters", "Sweetheart Bitters", 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, "Tales of Stuff What Did Not Happen", 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, "Dib's Dilemma"

Ian Mcginty

- fairly detailed and feels 3d at times, typically a cover artists (see here)

Issue: "Ms.Bitters' Bugs"

Sarah Graley

- ANOTHER silly style :3, this time more chibi than the others with flat colors

Issue: 26

Maddie C.

- i don’t know how to explain it but squishy, similar to the original style but instead of being mostly flat/sharp lines it’s more curvy (dib being the best example)

Issues: 27, 29, 30, 38, 46, 47, 48

Mady G

- sil,,,,ly, everything just flows together really nicely, very stretchy and expressive

Issue: 28

how did you come to work on invader zim properties? did that help in publishing your own comic?

I met Aaron Alexovich at comic con right before I started college. He was the character designer on the original show, and we kept in touch online and at conventions until we became friends. So when Oni Press started the comics he was looking for someone to ink them to help his workload and came to me first. Invader ZIM, JTHM, Serenity Rose, etc have all been huge influences on my style and I was out of college and hungry for work. By the time my my first feature gig was winding down, the ZIM movie was staffing up. Jhonen and I knew each other at this point, so I was an easy pull for the staff! I think working on ZIM helped me conceive and develop the comic, but I don't think it had any direct influence on getting published.

Little Nightmares unused 2017 comic content master post (WILL BE UPDATED)

Okay, so disclaimer/info: None of these have been "leaked" by me, nor are they leaks in the first place; I just found them because I'm a HUGE LN comic fan, and I cannot keep the silliness contained. They either came from posts/portfolios made by the original comic creators or official announcements (with a few exceptions.) All of these are real. Obviously, don't take my word for it, but all of these have come from official sources that can be found online (if you want me to, I can prove it). Also, I know I might get people asking me about this/asking me to add it, but the supposed "leaked" comic pages of the Runaway Kid and Six interacting are fake. As far as I'm aware, these were either made to push sevix as canon or to troll. Either way, they were presented as being real leaks. Any other leak posted by this person was, while convicting, faked. (I don't want to start drama, and this happened years ago, so obviously, I'm not going to mention who made these posts.) Also, I will be updating this post with new content once I find it. I am currently looking for a couple of early sketches I saw a while ago. LAST THING: not all of these are unused content. Some are unused covers that didn't make it into the display at the end of the comics or inked and uncolored versions of existing pages.

Taken from Aaron Alexovich's website. This is an alternate version of an existing panel. The North Wind seems to have shape-shifted itself or created the visage of a wolf to blow at the barn. This is probably a reference to The Three Little Pigs, which fits, considering that The Tale Of The North Wind has many references to the fairytale "The North Wind And The Sun" and some other stories that involve the north wind as a character. One other minor difference is that the crows, which are implied to be skeletons in the original panel, are shown to be fully skeletal. Looking at the original panel, it seems like this version came first. Not sure why it was changed.

This is an unused cover. I found it on the twitter of one of the people who worked on it.

This is an unused/alternate version of the hunchback girl destroying the music box. Found (If I remember correctly) on the colorist's ArtStation.

WIP version of an unused cover

This one is an alternate cover version, so not really unused. As far as I'm aware, they don't sell selling physical copies with this cover anymore, but they do exist. Also, this can be seen in the cover display on the last pages of the comics, so if you've read them you've probably seen this. Might be a bit of a copout but it feels right to add it hear for some reason

I wasn't sure if I was going to include this one because, honestly, I don't really know what's going on with this cover. While this cover is used, for some reason, the colors in this version are super warm. It might be a reprint error, but it may also be an issue on the side of whoever took the photo. This may be a specific issue with the physical version as well. Really not sure what's up. (original below for comparison)

Unused alternate page where Six hauls in the music box. Also found on the colorist's art station

This is also an alternate cover that was used. I put it in here because a lot of people haven't seen it, but it isn't necessarily unused content.

These two pages seem to go hand in hand. They were used on the steam announcement for the LN comics. The top page looks like two panels oddly edited together. The children in the top panel seem like an early scrapped design for the campfire kids. These two pages honestly feel more like promotional material/concept art or something because of the sketchiness and scrapped designs. I believe these were specifically created for the announcement. This is just my speculation, though.

All the photos below are uncolored, inked versions of pages from book 2. These were found on a deviant art page which seems to be owned by one of the artists involved, probably the inker. Nothing super out of the ordinary until we get to the last of these inked pages.

This is an alternate uncolored, and unused version of the mirror monster first appearing.

I hope you guys enjoy this post, and I do plan to update it when I find those sketches. (sorry if the grammar is a bit messed up I'm tired and a bit out of it)

ONE SKETCH HAS BEEN FOUND

I found this on my camera roll and if I’m remembering correctly it came from one of the artists’ twitter accounts or one of their Deviant Art accounts. (Because I can’t remember exactly where it came from, please take this one with a grain of salt.)

[purpletyrant]

Where would you site most of your art inspiration or artist your style was directly influenced by?

this is kinda tough to answer. one of my earliest faves was brian froud - i didnt own "good faeries/bad faeries," but whenever i went to the bookstore i would sit on the floor and flip through it. i think the whole reason i got into art was by getting into neopets when i was 10, so official site artists like claire hummel were a huge influence. "big name" artists on neopets, if you could call them that, also influenced me. fatal-mantis85, pookawitch, nestly, nazcon, and mindsend come to mind. i could spend hours scrolling petpages and then trying to emulate the same vibe in my notebooks. i was also really into alt/gothic art around this same time, so jhonen vasquez, aaron alexovich, roman dirge etc were like. aspirational

at the end of the day, i am the way i am today because i was into deviantart sparkledogs in middle school. artists like doomdawg, iceandsnow, somewhatcrazy, xbakkari, and many many others were people i aspired to be like. it is very sad that nowadays their profiles are either gone or gutted. link rot is really bad for people who want to be nostalgic on websites that have seen their day

nowadays with my oc art and storybuilding and general aesthetics, i guess i have a few inspos. artists like miorjah, godaughtr, kwillow, junka_art come to mind
