Hey, check out these pens, I use them all the time!

CaliPen can be downloaded from Kofi: ko-fi.com/s/a92cd230b7

It was made to compliment Vant pencil: 2049728

and default design pencil: 1842027

It's like calligraphy but with better pressure changes, texture and a faded tail, so it's smoother.

One more dragon design that lives in my brain rent free
Here's moon king from Kubo
I really wish he'd gotten a smidge more screen time. I absolutely adore stop motion and his design is nice and spooky.

a deafening "SKREEEEEEEECCHHH!!!" is heard blasting though the rounded walls of the well as a bright pink flame follows out heroes down.

Sparx holds onto Spyro as they fall down the well, the walls mossed over and covered in vines and glowing blue mushrooms. This way is clearly in disrepair, but it's just what they need to escape the fury of whatever it is that's attacking!

Suddenly, Spyro flies backwards as a wall of harsh vibrance crackles into the ground! A bright flash of pink and orange flame erupts from seemingly no where.
A shattering "SKREEEEE!!!!" accompanies the burnign fire, chasing Spyro into the second panel. Sparx barely holds on as Spyro runs for his life!

The fires whips across the ragged third panel, catching a bone pile as Sparx yells "Doen here!!" leading Spyro to the safety of a well. Spyro can't help but glances behind it as the approaching flames.

In the final panel the crackle of fire seems to be outrun by the duo, as they hop down a crumbling well. The very color of the world is taken from them as the area lights up in a somber hue.

Invaluable information! Food banks are needed and in need of support now more than ever. I used to volunteer for one before I entered the workforce and lost contact with the people who ran it.

Sharing wisdom from a food bank volunteer:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac & Cheese in the box. But it needs milk & butter which is hard to get from food banks.
2. Boxed Milk is a treasure. Kids need it for cereal, which they get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce & spaghetti noodles.
4. Canned Foods should be Pop Tops OR donate Can Openers.
5. Oil is a luxury needed for Rice a Roni which they get a lot of.
6. Spices, Salt & Pepper are a real gift.
7. Tea bags & Coffee are caring gifts.
8. Sugar & Flour are treats.
9. Important are fresh produce donated by farmers & grocery stores.
10. Seeds are great in spring & summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. Rarely is there fresh meat.
12. Tuna & Crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but NEED sandwich bread.
15. Butter or Margarine are good.
16. Eggs are a commodity!
17. Cake mix & Frosting makes it possible to make a child's birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing Detergent is very expensive & is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury & women will cry over them.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
Bonus: CASH makes it possible for the Food Bank to buy what's missing and buy in bulk

"calling all apes. Be part of the comic"

The following image is a clawn like OC creature, which has an arrow pointing to a selection of small, medium and large ape creatures. The apes are similar in design to the clown creature, with star features, red noses and various armor inspired by the clown's color, star shadpe and especially the face, which is on the hat/hoods. The features are increasingly more interesting as the creature is bigger, with the third larger ape having a star light club weapon next to it.

To the right, a text box reads the following:

How it works:

-Click link in Description. Purchase your desired ape and attach your OC's ref//s/images. Tell me know if you want specific things highlighted!

-I'll create an "ape-sona" inspired by your OC based on the chapter. This is an artists liberty design. Some colors or features may be adjusted to fit the setting

the design will be used in the comic and you'll receive a flat color drawing of your ape!

"SLOTS ARE LIMITED"
Below is the following disclaimer:
You can buy a design after slots are closed by selecting the "art only" item, but it will not be in the comic. If i need more, i will take from these buyers, first.

A flapping can be heard at the first panel scans the forested and mushroom horizen. In the distance we see mountain cliffs and to the right... could that be a building?

It doesn't matter. The flapping is getting louder as Spyro and Sparx glance up in the second panel. The golden sky and morning sun is cut as a thin black shape darts up in front of the two.

In the final panel, taking up half of the page, we look down on the duo as they seem to shrink with fear.. The entire area is blanketed in darkness as the shape of wings covers them and blocks out the sun...

In the first panel Spyro and Sparkx make it to the edge of a short drop off. We're angled as if looking up at them, close to the seeminly bubbling black mud. The mud has some scattered bones, mushroom growths and hard spikes sticking out. Seeing that it leads to no where, Spyro sighs,

"Aw man, way to go-- we lost 'em!"

In the next panel, Sparx seems to shrug it off, flicking his hand as we reverse the shot. "Whatever, they'll think twice before messin' with ME again."

Spyro seems unimpressed, just waiting for Sparx to be finished with his boasting.

In the third panel, Sparx continues, taking on a dramatic flair, "Listen here, hidden dangers!"" He says with an arm out and a nonchalant expression, "You now face Sparx: bug of the bayou!" But his threats are cut short as Spyro sushes him.

"Don't shush me!" Sparx yells int eh fourth panel. "The world needs to fear the fly" But Spyro looks away, telling him to "listen" as a flapping sound slowly grows louder.

...flap...flap...Flap...FLAP...!

In the last panel, they listen closely, turning behind their heads, with Sparx cupping his ears...what would it be?

In the first large panel, chunks of wood from the now exploded ogre plop and splash into golden river. Some pieces are on fire, bouncing as they fall.

We hear a patting sound as Spyro's paws are revealed to be running in the next panel. He races across the dirt, chasing after the lead ape, who's running just as fast in the third panel.

In the final shot, we get an overview of the more forest like area, dotted with mushrooms and glowing from the morning sun. Spyro chases after the ape, yelling "Get back here!"
Sprinkles around, are some remnants of a forgotten battle, like a golden helmet, broken armor and even a skeleton from an unknown purple armored beast.

In the first panel, the ogre reaches towards Spyro as he run out of the line of fire. "Blam blam blam!" can be heard as the dynamite starts to go off, sending small pinkish explosions from withint the monster.

BOOM!
A huge explosion brightens the second panel, taking up nearly half of the page. The ogre 's body is shattered and a pinkish flame shoots from it's mouth and eye. The plan worked!

In the third panel, a mysterious claw steps into view, dark and sharp, with a silvery braclet adorning the wrist. It's owner overlooks the trees below from a distant cliff, as a small smoke cloud rises up. Maybe the plan worked too well...

#legendofspyro #spyrothedragon #comic #spyro

The ogre growls as it violently reaches for Sparx-- but Sparx planned for this. In the second half of the first panel, Sparx, lets go of the dynamite satchel, sending it towards the ground, where the viewer presumably is.
"All yours, moss breath!" He shouts, a cocky smile on his face.

In the third panel, the ogre looks surprised and confused as the satchel falls into it's open mouth. The two smaller apes react in the 4th panel, scattering as the lead ape tries to contain them, yelling "Stop!!"
But they just run, shouting, "Run away, it's gonna blow! Run!"

In the last panel, the lead ape bark another "stop!" turning and looking to the area where Spyro is being caged, "Secure the dra--?!" But he turns to see the space empty, looking through a gap in the branches. That's where the branches likely shattered upon the ogre reaching fr sparks...

#legendofspyro #spyrothedragon #comic #spyro

The first panel is split, with the perspective at first from Spyro, who lowers his head defensibly as the ape holds onto the cage-like fingers.
"But it don't saz what condition you're in..." The second half of the panel is a reverse shot, with the perspective of the Ape, looking down at the captured dragon, who flairs his wings. "Condition" is emphasized as the ape smiles with an evil delight.

In the 3rd panel, the cocky ape reaches for his dynamite, only to mutter, "eh?" As his hand touches him own chest...

He shakes his head left and right in the 4th panel, searching. He's shcoked to see not one dynamite. Where's it gone?! He turns sharply in the 5th panel as he hears a voice, "Missing something?"

It's Sparx! In the 6th panel, the dragonfly struggles to hold the line of dynamic, suspended by a fabric sash. The ape and ogre look up in surprised at the sight, before the ape shouts in the final panel, "G-grab him!!!"

The ogre reaches for the glowing dot--crack, crack-- he doesn't realize he is ripping apart the cage he just captured Spyro in...

This page is simple, but I really like the tone and expression of the ape.

#legendofspyro #spyrothedragon #comic #spyro

sMASH! The ogre slams it's wooden claws into the earth, right over Spyro! Only his tail remains in sight as dirt flies up. In the next shaky panel, Spyro's face is tight with fear as the ape yells, "Gotcha!"

In the 3rd panel, the ape stands in the foreground and chuckles to himself as Spyro lay under the cage-like hands of the ogre. "Puny welp" he says, as the speech bubbles transitions to the 4th panel, which is a reverse of the shot, showing the ape joyfully walking towards spyro.

"You're lucky" he explains with his finger wagging, "Order says deliver ya alive..."

Spyro sits in the foreground under the root-like claws of the ogre-- trapped!

I miss those levels designed for sparx. They were cool, if basic haha.
#legendofspyro #spyrothedragon #comic #spyro

Sparx flies high over the battlefeild, wtahcing Spyro avoid a swipe from the ogre. His hands are on his head as he mumbles, "Weak point... Weak point..." But he can't find one, "Yeah okay, Like this thing has a weak point..."

In the next panel, he contemplates his past choices, still holding his hands on the side of his head, clearly stressed. "Good job Sparx," He says to himself, "Leading him into the forbidden swamp... 'Catch up or give up' You know how stubborn he is" He sighs before continuing in a disappointing but somewhat sarcastic tone, "Who woulda thought that's blow up in my face--" But before he can finish his thought, a small panel interjects.

A dynamic is thrown at him, just missing him as a smaller apoe yells, "Down in front!"

In the final larger panel, Sparx looks down to see the Larger ape smack the smaller one, telling him "Don't waste the ammo on bugs!!"

Spax ponders for a moment, at the dynamite...something else that can "blow up in my face". He gets an idea.

I always found it strange how easy fire hurts something that lived in a goopy, wet, swamp lol. But team work makes the dream work!

#spyro #comic #webcomic

In the first panel the ogre's claw is seemingly unfased, only smoldering a tad with bits of ash flecking off. In the 2nd panel the beast raises his arm and seems to grow vines, as Spyro Look's on, nervously. From behind him, the leader Ape chuckles, "Fire don't work so well on rot wood, huh, welp?"

In the 3rd panel the Ape grabs a dynamite from his sash and smiles with confidence, "Watch 'N learn boys! These guys aint much without that breath..."

In the 4th panel Sparx is suddenly told to "Get out of here, Sparx" by Spyro, confusing Sparx, who yells, "what?!" In a concerned expression.
Suddenly a dynamite explosion in the 5th panel interrupts them as the two avoid the Apes dynamite. "Look around," Spyro explains, "Find me a weak point or sometHING?!"

Before he can end his sentence, the ogre strikes, "SLAM!" causing Spyro's arms to fly up as he just barely manages to skid to a stop.

"Grahhhh!" the m,onster cries out, slashing the ground and just barely missing Spyro, who has a bit of flame sparking from his mouth.

In the second panel he let's loose the fire, before the monster can move his arm. The flash make a huge "frooooshhh" sound and take up most of the panel, smashing into the ogre's fingers.

In the third panel, the flames begin to die down, with embers and smoke in the fifth panel.

In the finel panel, the smoke clears and Spyro look forward, seemingly surprised or caught off guard...

The panel starts in motion, with a loud, "rahhh!" the Ogre brings his hand up and slams it to the ground in the following panel.

Sparx barely manages to hold on to Spyro's horn, as we see the dragon seemingly leaping from the "slam" sound effect. He seems to land hard on his arms, but his eyes are focused on the ogre.

In the final panel, a close up of the ogre's claws seem to reach for the reder, slashing down wards.
