How I got here
Welcome to AlienAlexComics. A place to see this dorky alien's (that's me) comics about odd adventures & more that comes to mind. Besides drawing, I'm over the moon with video games, walking/biking, & wondering if extraterrestrials will do something to us...
I always dream of traveling around the world, experiencing different cultures & atmospheres that seem kind of "lacking" here in the States. But of course, I can’t, thanks to obvious limitations including money. So with my passion for drawing, I decided to put that wish into comic/manga storytelling & characters. One of the characters I used the most is inspired by my wish.
When I was younger, I used to draw fanfiction comics (cringe as clearly as I remembered) with some of my favorite game & cartoon franchises, including Sonic, Pokemon, Kirby, Spider-Man, Mega Man, and even Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends for some silly reason, etc. Geez, my imagination was really weird back then. But since college arrived, I stopped doing them… I wish I didn’t recycle all of them…
However, my interest in comic & character designing hasn’t vanished. Starting in 2017, I started self-teaching myself further into the comic & character design stuff while taking graphic design classes. I enjoy the creative freedom of using characters & settings however I want. Plus drawing is one of the things I'm good at. I will continue on this path and make my wacky stories known to broader reaches in the world.
"Lots of artists come up thinking that the only way they can be successful is to enter a concept industry fraught with space marines, grey, dystopian cities, and more grey. Yet indie games, creator-owned comics, and animations are thriving. How? Through the personalities and designs of their characters and storytelling."
