Web Comic: Off-White

Kayla's presentation on web comics was pretty cool. I loved seeing the vast range of artistic styles and humor styles that web comics encompass. Her presentation was also pretty educational too about the different kinds of web comics and highlighting what it would be like to try and earn money off of web comics. 

Anyway, I wanted to showcase one of my favorite web comics that I've found. Okay two. 

The first is Off-White. Off-White is a wolf web comic about Iki, a young wolf who is actually one of the Guardians of the Earth. The art of this web comic is phenomenal. The two artists who've collaborated and created this comic are Anna Podedworna and Katarzyna Redesiuk. Each new page is filled with pictures that could stand alone as works of art. However, such good quality has it's downsides--the novel is coming along slowly. I've been following it for almost two years now. The story line is okay; I'm sure once it gets further along it will shape up and be better. 
This is Iki. He's rather...special.

And no, this isn't some dog-nerd, reminiscent-of-12-year-old-life obsession of mine. I won't lie, I follow it primarily for the art, but I think choosing wolves to tell the story instead of humans is, well, a lot more interesting. 

The second comic I find absolutely hilarious and brilliantly drawn and painted is Romantically Apocalyptic. Get hooked on this comic, it's worth it. The creator of Romantically Apocalyptic is Vitaly S. Alexius a brilliant Russian artist by the way, if you haven't heard of him, check him out. 


The main character in this comic is Zee Captain. He has a henchmen, kind of like the typical side kick that literally just gets kicked around. They appear to be the only two humans left on the planet, and neither is really intelligent enough to function like a normal last person on the planet would. Anyway....
