25 expressions for Andrea. She surprised me with some of these… She’s easily the most emotive of the Hues.

For my newer followers, I’m working on the development of my dream project, The Hues.  It’s a comic series about a group of survivors of an alien invasion apocalypse that discover they have magical powers and can save the world.

Post Apocalyptic Magical Girls, fuck yeah.

So from time to time, I post my sketches and concept art.  I’ve been doing this facial expression worksheet for each of the 7 girls who are the main characters.

I’m shooting to launch the comic this summer!  You can look at the rest of my Hues art either in my art tag, The Hues tag, or in my Deviantart gallery. :D

Sami, Hannah, and Andy are the first three girls we’re going to meet in The Hues.

I will inevitably get things like “Burger King Kids’ Club” shouted at me for my character designs for this comic, but IDGAF.  I hope that every girl will be able to see some part of themselves in my comic. :x

Baltimore Comic Con?

Alex Heberling

So, a question to my east coast friends, and anyone else who’s been to Baltimore Comic Con.  An Artist Alley table is $200.  I’ve never been to BCC before.

I gotten one testimonial that it’s a hardcore old-school comics crowd, but I’ve also got many friends that go who haven’t responded to my queries yet. Is it worth it for the webcomickers?

Bottom text: Thank you to everyone who stopped by! My hand needs a rest from all the drawing, so proper comics will resume on Friday! –Alex.]

Ohayocon has set a high bar for the rest of my shows this year!  It honestly feels good to be getting back into the swing of things.  I haven’t had a convention in 4 months, so I was surprised to find how much I’d missed them during the long dark winter. ^_^

Going out with friends for lunch today!
