At the start of 2021 I participated in an Original
Character Tournament called "The War for Rayuba!"
Essentially, it was a competitive comic-making bonanza
ran by Tom Parkinson-Morgan where artists from all over
the world submitted characters and fought each other
with comics of all different styles! My gimmick was
that I animated my comics like some kind of madman.

My character was Aubrey Chamberlain IV! She's
a haughty, quick-to-anger bureaucrat who does
all the logistic work for an army that's trying to
end the world and possibly even the whole universe.
Needless to say, she deals with a lotta crap.

Below you'll find a link to every comic I made
or helped make for the War! I'm incredibly proud
of what I made, but some of it is very referential
to other characters or events in the tournament,
so be warned! (Psst! The least referential comics
here are "Coastal Carnage" and "The Queen
and Her Advisor," so start there!)
