anniversary fanzine

fanzine to celebrate animorphs' 30th anniversary! run by @pyrochord

[animorphs-30]

"Just tell them we're Animorphs." "Tell them we're what?" "Idiot teenagers with a death wish."

THE ANIMORPHS30 ZINE IS HERE!!!

(And thanks to @gros-chat-fait for this beautiful cover art!!)

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series, creators of the fanbase have come together to bring you a zine of nearly 200+ pages (at which point I'm not even sure we can call it a zine anymore! The correct term at this point would be anthology!), filled with art and writing.

You can download it as a PDF here, or if you just want to view it without downloading, it's available on Canva here.

(Please just use the Canva version for now. The PDF version isn't updated and has less content.)

Currently I'm still working on options for getting a printed release, but self-printing is still an option! Stay tuned—there should be a self-print mirror available shortly (I'll just need to change some links to QR codes, among other things).

Okay, I think that's all I have to say for now! Here's to thirty years!!!

The Power of Change

If I had a thousand years and a million words I still wouldn’t be able to articulate how much The Departure fucked me up 😭🦋🐌

This piece was a collaboration for the @animorphs-30 zine with my dear friend CrimsonEnder who got me into animorphs last year :3

Participating in @animorphs-30 was super near and dear to my heart, as Animorphs was arguably one of the first book series I threw myself into as a child. I mean I'd loved reading prior to then, but they are my earliest memories of waiting anxiously for each volume's next release and being top of my list when the school's book fair came around.

I still love the series and and eagerly awaiting for when my niblings are old enough that I can suggest they give it a try :3 Alas, I did run into some time management issues right at the end of the project, so just the panels made it into the zine itself, and not the assembled cube!

Read More just has some assorted WIP shots.

[animorphs-30]

this is so cool!!! thanks for participating in the zine!!

[toadinthechest]

One of mine contributions for the @animorphs-30 zine (I also made some spot art).

It's the first zine I was ever participating in. And I don't even have enough words to express how I am glad for this opportunity to work among creative and talented people 💛💛💛.

Oh and these are the spot art I made

[animorphs-30]

these turned out really cool, thanks for your contributions!!

Royal Flush

My second piece for @animorphs-30 intended to be my love letter to the series as a whole emphasizing the finale of the series.

I’m really proud of this one and I’m so grateful to everyone in the zine giving me feedback and advice to make it better than I could have done on my own. 💖

[animorphs-30]

this turned out great!!! thanks for your contributions to the zine!

Squid Ink

My piece for the @animorphs-30 zine! Kid-me would have rioted if they heard I was drawing animorphs fanart and didn't use that opportunity to draw a giant squid, so I had to find a good scene from the end of book 27-

[animorphs-30]

this looks amazing, thank you for contributing to the zine!

- Alloran-Semitur-Corass, The Andalite Chronicles

My first piece for @animorphs-30 depicting Loren comforting Elfangor after his first real battle in the Andalite chronicles. This was my third try at this scene and I’m so honored to have it included alongside so many incredible tributes in the zine 💖😊

Non Ponitur, an Animorphs fanfiction

Life and work under Doctor Cassie in the post-war era, as told by a junior team member.

My contribution to the amazing @animorphs-30 fanzine, which is a loveletter to this series that has shaped so many of us.

Animorphs was the reason I got a Tumblr account back in 2013, and that led to AO3, and here we are. It was an honour to return to my roots, as it were, to offer up my small little bit, and to focus it on the wonderful, complex, admirable character that is Cassie.

[animorphs-30]

thank you for contributing to the zine!! this turned out beautifully!

[animorphs-30]

hi! i talked to Torren and Cegorach, they've said that neither of them have a tumblr, but Torren was okay with me providing his reddit and discord here (torren7ial on both). hope that helps!

Happy 30th birthday Animorphs! If you were a person I would buy you a beer. This was my first literary love and I suspect will be my last. A bunch of very cool and talented artists and writers got together to make a massive zine in celebration and everyone should go check it out (and maybe pick up the books if you're interested in a sprawling tale of body horrors, war casualties, moral dilemmas, hard choices, and loss of innocence - they're available online!). And please show the artists and writers some love! Thank you @pyrochord for undertaking this huge effort to organize and support :)

My contributions are the cover art (top) and this paired piece of many major secondary cast (bottom)

From left to right, top to bottom: Prince Elfangor, Loren, Dak & Aldrea Hamee, anonymous Taxxon & Hork-Bajirs (or are they?), Visser One, Toby Hamee, Eva, Visser Three, the Drode, anonymous Yeerk (or are they?), Erek King, Aftran (whale form), Taylor, David, Aux Animorphs (Erica, Timmy, James, Craig, Collette), Illim & Mr. Tidwell, Tom Berenson, Hedrick Chapman, Karen & butterfly (or is it?). And in the background: the Ellimist and Crayak.

[animorphs-30]

thank you for contributing!!!! these pieces turned out so great :D

Berenson Family Circus

My other piece for the @animorphs-30 zine. This idea has been living in my head for a while. Not sure if it truly managed to develop my vision but it was nice to finally get it into reality.

this turned out super cool, thank you for the contribution!

Animorphs Cross Stitch 25 x 25

Years ago I designed this cross stitch pattern to represent Animorphs in a personal project and the @animorphs-30 zine gave me a wonderful excuse to make a new and improved version.
