This is Ciaran Benson's online webcomic gallery, in particular "UberCyberCats" - the comic I started in 2001. Please choose a comic from the list below, or start at the beginning with Episode Naught.
After [long story here] I'm drawing again. Mostly ponies. Feels good. So far the thing I've been working on the most is trying to wrap my head around hand animation. Turns out to be harder than I ever imagined possible.
I knew it was hard but trying to do it myself?
So very educational.
So, look for more ponies in the future, I guess.
In the meantime, here's a bunch of comics. The column on the left is all UberCyberCats related, and the stuff on the right is the "Or What" column.
[Still in progress] Feb's "mother" rebuilds her ancient temple, but Feb doesn't like the lesson that's being taught and tries to get her mother to deal with her directly. [Warning: Includes some not safe for work bare breasts]
Some examples of how I draw, including some sketches of Feb and April, and a fantasy about another story that I am working on. [Warning: Includes some most likely not safe for work playful nudity and touching]
Feb, April, Mathias, and Skrymir journey again to Rikon - but this time the world was already there waiting, and we see the life it lives when the gamers aren't around.
I wanted to return to Rikon in a very sincere and honest way, and to introduce some of my favorite Rikon-only characters like Wai'ho.
Very preliminary pencils for a story I'm doing to help me get back my drawing mojo, based on Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece.
My main focus in these pencils is to figure out the page and dialog layout, and to make sure that the layout flows from panel to panel and page to page.
A delightfully psychotic 24 hour comic that I did as a result of a complete misinterpretation of an assignment in Scott McCloud's advanced comics theory and practice class at MCAD
A three page tribute to Excel Saga using my characters. Just pencils - no inks or anything fancy. If you're curious about how I draw, or would like to see what my drafts look like, this short comic is a fine place to start.
