Everyone Should Wear A Flower Crown

Pretty Alien

Ok, so this is going to be the first in a series of pieces. And it has a backstory.

I was working the night shift and it was totally dead and I was super bored and I got to thinking... technically speaking, Sailor Moon is an alien. She's from the moon. So why does she look like a human?

And then I thought, maybe her Sailor Scout uniform is actually what she looks like, but in attempting to describe Sailor Moon's alien physiology, eye-witness accounts were mistaken for a description of a costume, not an actual body.

So, Sailor Moon's pigtails, bangs, and the little whiskers that I've given her, aren't hair. They're sensory organs, like antennae. The red "gems" described in her uniform are actually poison glands, which are brightly colored to gain the attention of predators. When subject to pressure, they secrete a poisonous liquid, kinda like Cane Toads. The "collar" of the costume is actually a wattle that Usagi's species uses in mating displays. It's inflatable!

Kinda like this:

As for the bunny nose and upper lip... Well... her name is Usagi.

The kanji at the top of the image is bi (pretty) uchuu (extraterrestrial) jin (person) and the katakana at the bottom is the phonetic spelling of Sailor Moon.

I'm sure that Kyozuka sensei would be pleased to see that I'm keeping up my calligraphy skills, all these years after her classes.

If anyone with a better grasp of japanese than me has any corrections, I'm happy to hear them.

Nerd rant over.

Playing around with cheap color pencils.

You mentioned in your commentary that you read some articles comparing the Simpsons and Family Guy. Would you mind recommending your favorites?

Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond! Here are some links to some criticism that I feel is well-written and relevant.

Is there a way I can purchase your Therapist RJ Hill digital comic without going through Etsy? I learned about the comic via a post on Imgur, so I don’t think Etsy deserves a commission.

Ha! I respect your conviction!

You can send me $3 on paypal ($5 if you'd like the printable version of the comic. My email is panicvolkushka@gmail.com) and make sure to include the email address where you'd like me to send the digital files.

11/14/22 UPDATE: I’ve taken both “Naruto: The Last King, The Last Priest” and “Therapist R. J. Hill” off my etsy store. Both comics can be read, in their entirety, on this tumblr.

It’s here! A hard copy version of my comic -- including a ten page sequel! $5.00 + shipping

I was debating whether or not to post the sequel online. I thought maybe the sequel would be the motivator for people to buy the hard copy, but I already have mixed feelings about selling fanwork, so I’m gonna go ahead and post the sequel here.

That said, purchasing a hard copy helps me out. I’m hoping to put the money towards some color risograph zines that I can take to an upcoming comix convention.

I’m putting the sequel under a cut because, while it doesn’t contain explicit imagery, it does involve discussion of a parent making inappropriate/incestuous comments towards a child.

This is as far as I had planned these comics going. I may revisit the idea, but probably not for awhile. Thanks for the wonderful messages that y’all have sent me!

Second in my series of practice portraits.

It's funny... most people won't buy portraits of random people but people won't commission you to do portraits if they can't see other portraits you've done. So I'm making portraits that will just sit in my room lol.
