Artist's Comments

Now in Technicolor!

Really, I just wanted an excuse to draw the Animorphs again after my first attempt four years ago. I consider this drawing a way to pay homage to my favorite series growing up, and to poke fun at myself. Because...well...really, like Michael, I love a good conspiracy. The more I kept thinking about one coincidence, the more others started becoming obvious to me. (The one about Jace and Tobias is part in-joke with my friends, and part spoilerific similarities.)

The X-Men Evolution similarities are for another day.



And if you have no idea what Animorphs is...allow me to enlighten you.

Jordan's scene made me giggle madly.

Don't worry about the similarities. If you do get published, a lot of people won't even notice the subtle things like that. Most people can't even remember
Animorphs! D:>

Aaah, relax, as long as the plot is different, you're fine =) This happens to lot of writers...they are deeply affected by something they loved and it just stays in their minds. But if you know that the influence is there, better for you, at least you can prevent yourself from making it too similar. Yo'll be fine, don't worry :)

At first I was like, 'Um, what?', and then I was like, ' Haha, suckers.'

Oh the poor, poor Anomaly kids :p

Oh god, I do this all the time when I'm writing. All I can see is similarities between my stuff and other peoples. Don't worry though, I'm sure you're plot and writing is different enough.

On another note, very amusing. Especially the last panel. (It would probably be funnier if I remembered anything about animorphs...)

A-as long as there are no Yeerks, it's all still good! ...I could never read Animorphs as a child because the Yeerks /freaked/ me out.

xDDD I love Anomalies, and I loved Animorphs, so by extension I love this twice over. I would say "especially the Marco/Cody panel" but I really love all of them.

While I do understand your apprehension, I would say not to worry about it. There are a lot of books (movies, comics, tv shows...) with similar casts. And I for one believe that the plots are very different.

XD Funny coincidence - I'm just reading Animorphs right now. (I'm sick, and it's a light read that keeps me entertained. XD)
I think you'll be fine, though, really. Anomalies is different enough.

Everyone should remember Animorphs! I was reading it again recently--it's still good, after all these years.

But thank you! :D

Haha, thanks. I think I just sat down one day and kept thinking about all the similarities, getting more and more panicked as I did. Let's not even get into X-Men...

But thank you! It's my intention to steer away from being a carbon copy, but I don't mind a little homage to my favorite series growing up. :)

They try so hard to be cool and different, but it's all been done before.
