Dinner

Zara's family is coming over for dinner so she and her dad are helping her mother and her aunt in the kitchen, and taking the time to catch up with each other. So it's just a matter of time before Zara is asked for something a bit too personal.

Hence the alt versions here. Tho, more than alternative from each other I think they work more as a sequence. Yet I still plan on posting them randomly through my accounts.

I'm not completely sure what she asked but I have my theories. I'm ...

"Happy Christmas Lil!! 😸 (Read 23:16)"

Well you know, the world is pretty much fucked and getting worst. So this year I'm going Christmas mode early. Lol

But for real. Seeing those Christmas begins on November 1st (3rd in México) memes, I started to think about what my Christmas piece this year could be, you know, as a bit for my own amusement. But the idea got me so excited that I decided to start working on them for real.

For last year's piece I w...

A-4

Or

“Taiyou Ga Mata Kagayaku Toki”

Which is also the name of the song for the fourth Yu Yu Hakusho anime ending. And the piece is named like that because I sort of hyper fixated on it and heard it like 50 times while working on it. And thus, I think the vibes match.

The music at least, not so much the lyrics cause I didn't really know what they meant for like half of those times I had it on loop in the background.

Fun fact: I actually started drawing in elementary s...

Y el Camino de Regreso

"The Way Back"

+ WIP

I wanted to make a Dia de Muertos Piece this year but in the end I didn’t have the time. In fact I started one with the Whisperers but didn’t get to finish. I’m including the Wip here.

But I had some free time and I decided to do something quick. It’s a bit inspired by an old animated short I was working on with some friends before Covid forced us to stop. It was the adventures of a young recently deceased woman trying to navigate the city to get...

The Beast of Pirates Bay - Animatic

That's Den for you. He's a conman and a bit of a mythomaniac. He's cool otherwise. Just don't believe what he's singing about. He's making it all up. A lot of it on the spot.

Basically I wanted to try out storyboard pro and saw myself with a temporary test. Pretty good btw, but expensive 😔. So I decided to make a scene I've had in my mind for a while now. The scene in my mind would actually have been the full song but there will be time for that later.

This happens in the Carto...

Doll V Clown

…In Powerful Dolby Sound!!!

Or.

Creepy doll Vs Creepy Clown, What else is to say?

Or.

I guess maybe the Doll got her own episode.

Remember that weird phase where they started doing “VS” movies for horror characters.

Also, Remember all those creepy clown videos from some years ago? I guess this is a similar situation but this clown is also demonic. Maybe he did a Faustian deal or escaped hell like the doll. I'm not completely sure of a story for this o...

Vero

Or

"POV: You and your demon friends caused problems in the wrong town"

Or, I finally got to make Vero's solo piece.

I tried a couple of things with her before but I wasn't convinced. I mostly tried some silly stuff. The original idea was her punching some kind of slasher movie killer, and I still want to do something like that later, but it felt too silly. So I just started sketching and ended up with just a picture of Veronica going Beast mode.

This was also an excuse...

The Stick

Not a lot to say about this one. It’s just the season.

I had some free time yesterday and felt like doing a NITW fanart. Recreating this scene. I’ve actually had the composition sketch in my “To finish” carpet for like a year.

I’ve been doing some fixes to my computer so I feel like it’s time to do a little bit of a replay.

31

Or the Halloween special.

On this week episode, after a comedic mixup, The Worndown Children will have to search for the kid that took Lil's bag of her mother's home made "magic candy"

Well I kind of did it again and overdid this piece.

It originally was going to be only the band. The first idea for this year was that they were going to be waiting at a subway station or bus stop. But I realized that those would need background characters anyway so I ended up going all the wa...

Halloween WIP

Work in progress for a Halloween Piece I'm doing with the band. This isn't necessarily how they’re gonna look at the end. I'm having a bit of a problem deciding on the costumes. The only one I’ve known since the beginning is Ghost RJ.

Since the moment I thought about Zara going as Barbie I thought it would make sense for RJ going as either Ken or Oppenheimer due to the meme, That’s why I decided on ghosts. It felt really silly, and I love how it looks.

The other one Is Tony/...

El Bibliotecario

(Edit: made some changes to the picture. Mainly I added shawods to the stairs' rail . Also, Ahhh! they changed it! They changed tho logo thingy!!)

The librarian.

Or.

The long Reading Room

There's a big hidden Library standing in the middle of a lonely Cul-de-sac somewhere in your town. It's not easy to find and it's not always there. And you can only go in with an invitation.

Most big libraries have a security system to protect the books, mainly from f...

October Icon

O

Papel Picado

Well October caught me by surprise just like september but I took a little time off to make me a nice Icon for Halloween/Dia de Muertos.

I've had this style in mind for one of these for years now And I finally did it. It's supposed to be like an impression of a Jose Guadalupe Posada's type Catrina, And I think it work even better than I tought!

Behind the Lines

Edit: Took out a line I never really liked from page 4. What do you think? lol

Or.

"Let's go to the artist's house."

Edit: Ah they changed it! They change the thing! The layout or whatever... Anyway...

Fine, here's the third, but second, comic of this new series of comics I've been doing. And one funny thing to note is that Davo has been present on all three of these, accidentally making him, for the moment, the de facto protagonist of this series.

Even if...

Void

Or 


"The abandoned hotel's main hallway that extends, twists and turns down for 3 kilometers and ends nowhere.


Ian, the librarian, found an old separator on a book that, according to the records, had been taken out of the library 40 years ago and had just recently been returned anonymously. 


The book in question, a memoir. And the content, complete gibberish and written upside down. But more importantly, it once formed part of the collection of the h...

Name Every Band!

Ok, here's a quick self indulgent thing I did. I think I mentioned this dynamic between them once before but I really wanted to put it down in a comic or something. Just a silly party trick these two do from time to time.

See, Davo is a total dodofafa, or music nerd, and the day he met an even bigger music nerd he had no option but to fall in love with her.

My purpose at first was to make this thing look a bit shitposty. But apparently that's something I can't really do. In the en...

Idea

Ok, just a silly wip, I'm still not completely sold on the idea but I think Tony and either Tak or Davo could go as two kids on a trench coat for Halloween...

Tak - Reference Sheet

Erika

Artistic name: "Tak"

Everybody calls her Tak

The worn down Children's usual graphic designer.

She's a street artist in secret. You can see her work pretty much everywhere in her town.

She has probably the best social skills of all my characters.

Has ADHD, very hyperactive. Also the memory is not great.

Anyway, Here's Tak for you.

Tony suggested her when the band needed to make some posters and the ones they did on PowerPoint kind of sucked...

Hey Teacher

(Edit: Took the censorship out cause I relized the joke works better without it. Also did some more edits on page 4)

They're talking about bands.

You see, the kids didn't know teachers live out of school. I mean, they know but they hadn't seen it before I think.

See, I mentioned that Lil's parents own a music store/school, and that Davo works there when not with the band, and Tina is a teacher and of course she went to see a band named warlock Rage in 2023-09-07 18:53:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Parranda

(Translation Below)

Parranda.

Si, están borrachos.

O

Por si les preocupaba que estuvieran muertos…

Básicamente aquí está mi dibujo para el día de la Independencia de este año. De un tiempo para acá, cada año en septiembre dibujo a la banda como mariachis para el 15. Me gusta pensar que es un universo alternativo al que he titulado "Los niños viejos" que de hecho es el nombre original de la banda. "Worn Down Children" es solo una forma en que adapte el ...

Septiembre

Oh vaya, septiembre me tomó desprevenido este año, creo que aún faltaba una semana. Como sea aquí está mi icono para el próximo mes, qué sucede qué es el mes patrio de México. Es básicamente el mismo icono del año pasado pero esta vez use un sombrero de mariachi lol.

La pintura que uso como textura para el fondo es una que ha estado en mi casa por año después de que la heredamos de mi abuela que la tuvo en su sala por aún más años y está firmada por el Lic. Eduardo R. Z...

Oh Boy!...

She'll be fine.

Most probably.

And yeah, it was her! Who could have seen that coming?

Well, at least one of you. Morlund figured it out two weeks ago due to a small detail from a piece featuring her that I had completely forgotten about when posting it. Lol

But yeah.

This ...

Volleyball

On this episode B plot When the band arrives at a beach town for a festival they're gonna play in, Lil joins the beach volleyball practices of a local league as it looks fun and as replacement of two girls that are now in the hospital due to food poisoning. She is then joined by Diana who does it as she has a crush on the team's captain. Will they take the tournament's trophy home? Will the hotel management discover that RJ isn’t actually the Andorian ambassador and take him and Zara out of...

Bar (WIP)

Good news everyone, I had a really dumb idea, and then I had an even dumber complementary one!

Basically, out of nowhere I remembered the bar guy from Naked Lunch and thought it would be funny to draw the whisperers in that situation, Maybe to do some work. Then I thought the bar from the shinning would be an easier reference but decided to combine them to make the thing sillier.

For some reason I felt that it would work very well with veronica, maybe as a solo piece, but then I t...

"Is it over" or "Or maybe an Elf"

And This time the two titles have a purpose. See this is an old comic I started working in when COVID started to go down finally but I never finished for whatever reason.

It was a bit of weird timing with it because first it seemed like COVID was over and then it came back and then it started to slowly go down but not really, and then just when it was over I got Covid so it couldn't be over and  it all was such a gradual thing that when COVID was finally over (if it is), it was kin...

Dark Room - Animation

Or.

"When you're alone, are you? I mean... You make sure?"

Ignacio didn't even have a clue until later that week when they saw the video. Now he's considering switching to digital. But it's just not as good. Especially for ghosts.

...

I did a solo picture with Nicole some time ago and since before that I wanted to do something with Ignacio and I've had the idea of making it something related with dark rooms (him being the photographer and all) but I couldn't figure out...

I could model you know.

Tak woke up early and rode her bike to the futbol fields in the public park next to the market to do some sketching of the players during their training. Tony just happened to be around there, for real, and he went to her to say hi and hang out with her for a while while she drew.

"You know, you could draw me. I can pose as a model."

He said and she laughed. She's the only one that always laughs at his jokes.

You know. It may not show. But this silly thing is the hardest I'v...

Art

The artist.

A sort of oldish piece from earlier in the year featuring Erika or Tak as she's known.

I guess I wanted to make a simple-ish pinup picture with her going out in her free time and just sitting somewhere and sketching a bit.

Also a little bit of a teaser, Got a couple of thing featuring her coming, One is done and the other one is on the works right now.

Summer

Just a quick thingy I made for the summer. I realized I didn't had the time to do a proper Beach episode or something so here's this. 

She is a character I just made for this piece and I don't have a plan for her. But I really liked the design so who knows later...

I'll be posting this one soon

Living Forever

+Bonus alt ending.

Based on a true story.

As in I too once got a pistachio ice cream that had raisins in it instead of pistachios and let me tell you, that was messed up. Even worse, it was an ice cream cake I stood in line for. 5 mins of my life and like $50 pesos completely gone to waste. I still ate it, but picking the raisins made the whole experience less enjoyable.

When I drew Zara driving the van I mentioned that the doors had to be changed due to RJ's ex's fault. And...

The Duck

The party pretty much died down a couple of hours ago but Tony and Davo knew a spot to hang around and wait for the morning.

Tina loves the summer as she gets vacations as well as the kids and she can have the mornings for her.

This is a bit of one of those oldies that I forgot to post but to be fair I just recently finished a couple of details that were missing so it's almost as a new piece.

Canon wise Here's Davo and Tina who in this piece I think have been dating for a co...
