The Sentinels

Two comic creator wanna-be's try to make a comic, hilarity ensues. Latest stuff from the Sentinels (and silly art) posted here regularly!

[thesentinels]

I made this comic for a 2 month long Zine project! Necro-Guy is my baby and everyone must know about him. I'm thinking about making him into his own thing, I've had ideas for other characters in this world. Just sort of testing the waters with Necro-Guy

Might put this in color, might make more Necro-Guy. Anyone who wants to say something about Necro-Guy, lemme know if you want to see more of him! <3

Cyto throwing a pickle at you

ref (too funny not to include here imo)

more below

I love how this turned out, I used a new shading style for it and I think that really made everything pop, ESPECIALLY Cyto's mohawk! I want to turn this into a sticker and sell it when I go to conventions, so right now this would be my FIRST sticker! yippee!!

[thesentinels]

Somebody on a public art page saw me drawing Cyto, said he was cool, and checked out my tumblr, this is the best thing ever I love people

The Sentinels x Hollow Knight

I might draw more of Cyto with the Knight, they're so cute, hangin' out together

Why I'm not hiding Cyto's transness

I've seen that writers will often hide that a certain character is transgender, keeping it for a "reveal" or (god forbid) a "plot twist", like unless that's something that makes logical sense as a plot twist, I think it should be avoided. That's why I'm not gonna hide the fact that Cyto is transgender while I'm helping write The Sentinels, there's something so incorrect to me of deliberately misgendering a character just to reveal later that you knew they were trans the whole time. It's messed up to me to imagine fans of your writing realizing they've been misgendering this character and you just *let that happen*, y'know?

So for me, Cyto is trans and I'm gonna talk about it. People need a trans character that transitions on screen, comes out, and talks about what it's like. Trans representation is already super small in media, and being transmasc myself it's SO important to me to give people a trans character they can see themselves in. I don't want to suddenly have a timeskip and for Cyto to just be fully transitioned, there's so much that happens inbetween that's important to show.

I can just imagine a younger me reading my own comic and relating a ton to Cyto and not knowing why, but having a trans character you can relate to and see transition so you can think about where you want to take your own transition is such an important part of Cyto's story.

Cyto Sketch Page

Tenta-Queen vs. Nomad! (By Rex_Roar44)

This AMAZING piece of fanart of The Sentinels was created by Rex_Roar44 (same username on Tiktok, Bluesku, Instagram, AND Tumblr!) Super easy to find them! And they deserve to be seen cause their art is AWEESOOME! This fanart depicts Tenta-Queen (Rex's own Sentinels character <3) fighting Nomad up in the sky! That's super sick! But how's she gonna... y'know... get down? She can't fly! Not sure Tenta-Queen thought this through. Thankfully Nomad is more than capable of catching her! Even if she is a supervillain.

Background for Sentinel City!

I'm the second-half of Nerdy-Pop! (Pop)

I drew a concept for what I want Sentinel City to look like! Super stoked about this, I'm in love with the layers of buildings and the gradients that make so much depth-

I really want Sentinel City to have that early 2000s cartoon feel, and I feel like I hit the nail on the head with this one! I really wanted to get that comfortable, colorful feel. I really want people to be able to look at the Sentinels and think "I really want to live there", especially with Sentinel City. So I went with lots of colors, and a picnic scene just came out during the process!

This feels like a perfect, nice day out in Sentinel City. The weather is perfect and if you stay out long enough, you might see Nomad flying by! Sentinel City is full of superhero history. If you look closely, you'll see a piece of it right in the background of this piece!

Hey it's Pop! The second-half of Nerdy-Pop!

[CONTEXT: Cyto comes out as trans (he/him) to Amari (AKA the superhero Nomad).] This is a completed version of the comic which I won the "Best Junior Sequential Comic Book Quick Sketch" award for at DragonCon! The panel was hosted by Georges Jeanty, who's had decades of comic-creating experience. So please go check out his socials! He's got some really cool stuff!

I will now be hanging this awesome plaque on my wall, and I plan to frame the original sketch and put it right by it. Here's to the first of (hopefully) many awards!

(Meme from "The Sentinels")

It me! (Pop)

I made this meme, it took a while but I'm super proud of it! Nomad hits pretty hard, so isn't too keen on punching anybody just yet. Gonna have to wait for a supervillain who's tough for that to happen.

Sparrow doesn't care either way.

"Just hit that guy, Nomad! Throw a car at him, or something!"

[reblogger-ignis]

Automatically made me think of the audio "He is not the love of your life. He is literally just a guy. HIT HIM WITH YOUR CAR"

[thesentinels]

No but so fr!

Nomad would be all worried about hurting Permafrost and Sparrow's just gonna be like "HE CAN TAKE IT! I DON'T CARE IF HE HAS TO GO TO THE ER!"
