Description I present to you from left to right: Jake, Rachel, Tobias (in human form), Cassie, Marco and Ax from the hugely popular 90's book series, Animorphs by K.A Applegate.

After an alien gives five human kids the power to morph into animals (Ax joins the group a little later on), they find themselves having to use this power to stop Earth from being taken over by the brain-controlling parasites the Yeerks.

I've always wanted to do something that did justice to my love for Animorphs especially as it formed such a large part of my entertainment buzz during my school days so I've made plans for a video based around the book series (it will also give me the opportunity to practice with my new Samson CO3U microphone!) which will feature these head-shots as part of the footage. I don't know how long it will take me but watch this space for more Animorph-related drawings to come!

EDIT: This Animorph-related video(s) can now be found here: [link]

Rachel: *pulls out a gun and goes on a killing spree* I am a goddess! Bow before me!
*a few hours later*
Rachel: *in a strait jacket*
Police Officer 1: What a crazy girl!
Police Officer 2: I know! She kept saying that she could morph into animals...what a bunch of hogwash.

I was addicted to Animorphs when I was younger, but my parents were constantly taking the books away because the covers "looked too weird." >_< But these days I have all but book #9. Nice pic, by the way. ^^ My favourite of your pics that you drew here, would be Marco.

Where's your long-haired Marco drawing? That was his style for the first nine books.

I drew the image of short-haired Marco first then drew a pile of longer hair seperately before photoshopping this "wig" over the first Marco image.

You should post the long-haired version, too, if you still have it.

A video? Awesome, I can't wait, I bet lots of people would like to see that.

The facial expressions and style remind me of those seen in the Horrible History books, if you've ever read them. Which is no bad thing, they're awesome.

I love the faces. All the characters are instantly recognisable. My favourite thing is the way that they're all looking at something far away..Ax must have seen a cinnamon bun. Tobias probly saw a mouse, Rachel saw a half-price sale and didn't quite believe it. Marco has seen a cute girl, and Cassie has seen Jake. Jake has seen Cassie. Both are trying to be subtle about it.

I'm re-reading them for this drawing/video project (just finished the Andalite Chronicles) and they do hold up amazingly well in my adult years as a great bit of adventuristic sci-fi!

They certainly do. (although I can't technically say "adult years", seeing as I'm fourteen years old.)

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Animorphs was like, my elementary school CRACK! I was SOOO obsessed with those books when I was young. I still remember most of the stories. And you drew them so dang WELL! I could tell who everyone was without even reading the comments.

I'm drawing a couple of the most important alien species next so I'm glad that people want to see more!

Like the...the...erm...f*ck. How do you spell it? H'ork Baajar or something? And the yeerks themselves? Omg, did you ever read any of the spin off/backstory books? Like The Elimist, or the ones with the backstories of the H'ork Baajar and the Andalites? THEY ROCKED.

Expression In reply to Poohbearlover42 [2010-03-12 15:03:35 +0000 UTC]

Hork-Bajir!

Not all of the back-story books were printed here in the UK so I took full advantage of a trip to Florida once and bought them all! Love the huge amount of plot twists that occur in the Chronicles books.

I've still got to draw a full-bodied Andalite and the Ellimist but I've sketched down a Hork-Bajir, Taxxon and Yeerk so far!
