Hi, my name is Carly and I’m an animator and illustrator in NYC! You might know me from Rude Tales of Magic, or my work in TV for shows like Venture Bros. and Birdgirl.
As he watched the world burn, he couldn’t help but laugh. The chuckle grew, then turned to a choked and gasping seizure. His view of apocalypse blurred by tears, he convulsed in mirth, until finally he could say just one thing, “Previously known as: feelmydragonballs.”
After finding what I thought was a lost collection of pages sent back to me from a gallery exhibit, I am happy to do one more art sale, with prices set to moooove! The last batch of pages I put up sold out in about a day, so I have many more this time around to give you a chance to buy one if you missed out last time. Click through to see the whole list.
It’s been about a year since I’ve ended The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, and last night I went through some old pages and picked out a few favorite moments I thought would be nice to sell (because APPARENTLY I can’t pay rent with a stack of bristol in my closet.)
I remember enjoying the drawing of this page so much, I asked Kent to let me ink the faces, which is looking back, incredibly selfish and silly. But you can see there’s a lot of acting in this page with drunky ninja, and you don’t really need the dialogue to understand what’s going on, which makes it ideal for displaying.
This is one of my favorite moments of the series because it does several things at once. It’s funny, with Dan McNinja explaining that he just magically stuffs food in his mouth to avoid taking off his mask even a little. It sets up a stupid hand-wavey justification, so anytime I wanted the ninjas to get away with any shenanigans, someone can just say “Ninja tricks!” and that’s the end of it. And… it sets up the ending I knew I would pull the trigger on some day, with Dr. McNinja just taking off his mask and disappearing into anonymity.
This one is still just cool to look at. There’s a bunch of ghosts chasing Dr. McNinja, and he’s scaling an airplane in flight to get away from them. Have fun explaining it to your guests.
See the unlettered and non-shaded art here. (SOLD)
I like this one because it’s a funny little character moment for poor Gordito, who I had no plans for inside of the tennis temple, and I had to just say “Yeah, you’re in the B plot for this one, sorry.” You can tell what’s happening without the dialogue, and like I said, that’s what I like in the comic art I have displayed in MY house.
See the unlettered, black and white art here. SOLD
I love drawing dream sequences, because its an excuse to mess with the medium, which we’ve done here by making the trees of the dream forest into the actual panel borders. It looks particularly striking in the original black and white.
This is one of those pages I loved to make because it got to jump around the pieces that make McNinja who he is - he’s training Gordito in martial arts through his weirdo brand of science, he’s happily dealing with a patient with a real and normal medical condition, and there’s the quick nod to the gorilla receptionist, who did not get explained for a very long time. Also there’s a unicorn.
But mostly I just enjoy McNinja’s gleeful expressions until he is finally horrified by a body in the street.
This is one of those pages that really sums up a relationship. King Radical respects McNinja, but… he’s still got be himself, you know! And that self is the most radical man in the radical lands. And a twerp.
This page also features a king on a dirt bike kicking a raptor, which is neat.
See the unlettered black and white version here. SOLD
Story wise, this page is the start of the big turn in Army of One. Normally we’d assume that clone army was designed to beat Dr. McNinja by forcing him to fight an impossible to defeat larger number of himself. But if they’re all clones… then they wouldn’t WANT to fight him! And Frans knew that, and it was part of the plan. If you’ve read Gwenpool, you know I like to mess with genre tropes, and this is one of the larger examples of that in Dr. McNinja.
Also it looks good in black and white, which is why I’m selling it. See it here.
FRANS RAYNER PUNCHES MCNINJA IN THE FACE - $45 - SOLD
And here’s where Frans explains the plan. Again, just a nice looking page! This was near the end of Kent’s run as our inker, and he’s doing some of his best work.
After a bit of inking warmup on “Judy Gets a Kitten”, this page is probably the first where I start to feel comfortable and good with my own inking, and you can see the style of the comic start to change. I drew this on expensive paper with an expensive brush, and the thick, dark, expensive ink looks excellent in person.
First off, considering how much original art I’ve sold over the years of making this comic, I cannot believe I still have this one. Besides being the first appearance of Judy, with some excellent fur work from Kent, there are a few interesting things about this page.
1) I redrew the kid and replaced him digitally, because well… he didn’t really look like a kid at first. The art has the original version.
2) This was originally homework I did at the School of Visual Arts, and on the original page, you can see it was graded a B+ from my professor, Walter Simonson.
It’s the first page of the comic! A collectors item! Get it out of my house.
I will say this page represents when I was first really finding my voice, and it was a thrilling time for me. I was discovering that I could make comics however I wanted, and prior to this, I wasn’t really doing much in terms of comedy. A cheeseburger mayor fountain was hilarious to me, and you know what? It still is.
Thank you for taking a look at this collection of art, and I hope you consider taking some home with you! I’ve also got some signed books for sale on my eBay page as well. Happy New Year!
