[link]I'm going to break this down panel by panel!
P1: Pixely world.I AM NOT CUT OUT TO WORK IN PIXEL ART... luckily pixel world is just a small part of what that guy's dream world is like... you can see him in the corner there we totally know him. We might cross through the dream worlds of other people we know as well! That panel took me the longest (most of friday and today!) but over all I'm happy with the result.
P2: Weird anime anthro world.This panel is so strange for so many reasons. This is the first time since high school that I've seriously attempted to draw anime and the first time in four years I've drawn furries. Originally I was going to have it look like the game from AN2090, but it felt weird... So this is a similar Asian RPG that's very popular with tumblr ppl in the comic because of it's cutesy avatars.
I planned for Tabbi to be human originally but thought it'd be funnier if they were both furries... Tabbi was a grey/white siamese at first, but that looked too detailed for the character design. So then she was a grey and white
tabby cat, but the stripes also looked too detailed for the design, so now she's just a grey and white bobtail. Koji's a black and tan shiba because shibas are adorable. They're not really all that furry, they still have human faces... I've seen the style around a lot recently and I think it's cute. There's also some slight anatomical changes here, Koji's arms are not really that muscular and Tabbi is not really that well-endowed, but lol game designs.
It was REALLY REALLY hard to draw eyes like that. I kept glancing at the panel and feeling a wave of disappointment, like I'm still stuck in the awkward anime phase I worked so hard to get out of... but then I'd remember that I did the eyes like that on purpose and how it took me so long to make them LOOK anime-y in the first place... and then I felt better.
We don't know that girl in the corner yet... but she's posting about her day on tumblr. She has a tardis phone charm.
I took the screenshot from my phoneP3: BABBIESSSSIn his first speech bubble Koji is saying "I can't see!!"
In the second he's saying "Huh?"
Language barriers! : D
Tabbi is 3 and Koji is 5. Koji didn't move abroad until he was 6, which is about the time they realized that he's not stupid, he just can't see for shit! He didn't complain much because there weren't really any adults to listen to him and Sayomi would just throw things at him.
Tabbi has always had a specific interest in fashion... she's also naturally a redhead if you forgot!
That person is a nun in the cafeteria, praying for the kids she teaches. If you haven't noticed, all the dreams they're running through belong to people in the school.
P4: Gender Swap'dGoddamit, Koji.Male Tabbi's name would be Tyler, female Koji's name would be Kyou(ko.) I don't know, I think those names kind of have the same feel to them as their real names do. Kyou looks like Sayomi with glasses and better hair and, despite the fact that Koji is like 6 feet tall (~183 cm) Kyou is really tiny like 5'0 (~152 cm) Because I think the size difference is funny. Tabbi's small but so is Tyler, proportionately. Tabbi is 5'3 (160 cm) and Tyler is like 5'7 (~170 cm) The O'Malleys are not tall people. The gender swaps are meant to retain their habits, interests and personalities, so Tyler's hair is fabulous and Kyou looks like she doesn't have the time or want to do much with her appearance.
We don't know that person in the corner yet either, but we'll meet them in Dreamers. You can imagine that some of these dream worlds have much deeper meanings that others. o:

This page is pretty much a small sampling of what Anarchy Dreamers will be like. A lot of going into the strange worlds people create in their heads (though issues will mostly focus on one or two at a time, rather than a different one every panel.) We'll see most of these worlds again and many more. ; )

BUT DUDE I LOVE THIS PAGE
IMEAN I LOVE ALL YOUR PAGES BUT THIS ONE
WITH ALL THE STYLE CHANGES JUST
YESS
I like totally did not expect to see so many dream worlds all on one page, haha, AWESOME. I love the composition and flow of the page, and the way it just teases at things to come. Really well done!
BONUS NOTES:
- Interesting how Crow has pixels, but the other video game dreamworld doesn't. I guess he hasn't played games in a while. That, or indie game hipster. ; D
- I love the disparity between Avatar-Tabbi's happy expression and Game Character-Tabbi's disconcerted expression.
- lol game designs indeed, hahaha
- Squinted as hard as I could but I couldn't make out the text on the phone. Not the entire text, at least. "OMG" at the start, then "cheerleader" soon after, and it ends on "Jesus or something???!????"
Is that right?
- Koji not being able to speak English yet is pretty much the best idea ever. I LOVE IT.
- The concept/age contrast of this dreamworld and character, too!
- WELL NOW I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE REST OF THEM, TOO
- The background looks like the one on the previous pages. Not the same place though, right?
- Don't bump into things, Tabbi!
-Crow's an all-inclusive media consumer and his dreamworld reflects it. He plays a lot of flash games and has older cousins who introduced him to video games when he was very young, so pixel art has a special place in his heart. BUT he also plays the xbox, watches too much tv and too many movies, and illegally downloads a lot of music.
-Haha, I was thinking that the game/avatars are actually very simple but it has this crazy fandom that makes detailed fan art of it. Like ragnarok online (or even gaia or homestuck!) So I haven't decided if they're being portrayed how that person imagines the characters in the game to look, or if the game play is more detailed and you just get a cutesy avatar next to your name whenever you talk. Either way the game does have a dedicated (insane) fanbase. : B
-Oh wow, your eyes are REALLY good! It says "OMG" "So this bitch cheerleader at my school just got possessed by Jesus or something???????"
-I'm glad you like it! I was afraid that it might be confusing... Koji's creative so if there is an entire dreamworld where he has a language barrier, he'll find another way to communicate.
-I might draw everyone gender swapped... I did a dress up game a while ago and got a good feel for how all the guys would look, but I couldn't do it for the girls because all the male dress up games suck. Tabbi was the one I struggled the most with conceptually, but then I saw the hair style somewhere and it all came together after that! I do have names for everyone, but I won't spoil those haha.
-It's a similar background but not the same world. The idea of this world is that everything is the same EXCEPT that the genders are swapped, so it looks a lot like the one Koji found Tabbi in... more or less because they both looked like themselves there. Lol~
That makes sense - there are a lot of games like that.
Haha, my eyes aren't that good, I just zoomed in real close and then tried identifying the words by shape! "Possessed by Jesus", lol. Considering this is a catholic school, someone sure hasn't been paying attention to the nuns' lectures.
I wonder what the teeth stars look like in the other worlds... I guess we'll find out sooner or later, tho!
I'm about to san the next page... they look exactly the same, just a different color. ; P
I think the last panel is my favorite over all, because it was a fun exercise to change their genders and still make them look like themselves. :3
