New Leaf: My First Month In Town

The Animal Crossing train keeps on rolling here--if you're watching, and you don't like AC, then I apologize and also you should like AC. I wanted to do a "serious" fanart of the game rather than the comics I've been drawing, so I did a group shot of my character and all the animals who have lived in my town (Shady) since I started about a month ago. Hope you like it, it consumed my stupid life for a couple days.






A couple of favorites:

I didn't think I'd care much for Dora (the mouse) at first, but by the time she said she was moving out she had become one of my favorites. Unfortunately I was on a trip irl and didn't get to talk to her on her last day! I felt guilty, haha.

Bruce is the deer on the top right; a "grumpy" type villager. The way he was always wandering the town with a shovel at 3 AM and living in a garage led to a running joke that he was a serial killer. He's still wandering around town at night, but he tends to be watering flowers nowadays. He always seemed like such a quiet, polite boy.

This Week In Town: O'HARE






Just a short one about a character I like this time. Somehow it came into our heads that O'Hare is destitute and squatting in the town campground at my girlfriend's village, so I decided to make a little comic for it. The idea that someone could have trouble getting money in Animal Crossing is very funny to me...maybe he has a gambling problem.

Just pretend that the Happy Home Association allows you to buy fully furnished homes in the game too! More to come next time.

This Week In Town: THE BUG OFF

Another one of my dumbass Animal Crossing: New Leaf comics. The next one will likely look different! I'm trying different types of drawing/coloring to find something that I like, and that's efficient enough to use for comics (I draw very slowly).

This Week In Town: RUMORS (my animal crossing comic)

I'm so behind with blogging, both posting and reading/commenting. But I've finally gotten some time to pursue a project I've been excited about for weeks--my Animal Crossing: New Leaf comic!

It's called "This Week In Town" and here's a pretty rough test strip I did. Nice and colorful though!

If you don't play a lot of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the villagers are always talking about everyone else, including repeating rumors about the player depending on how they act in town. For a long time I was called a "Pro Listener", which gave me the idea for this one. Nowadays they call me "Stump Maker" because I'm turning my town into a desert hellhole. It's fun to make stupid stories for the people living in my town; more to come later!
