Evan Stanley

Hallo #portfolioday-- I'm Evan Stanley, I'm an artist and writer on IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog comics, and other hedgehog-y things. I also like to do stuff on the spookier side; keep me in mind for your action/adventure/supernatural stories! evanstanleyportfolio.com

Preview pages for Sonic the Hedgehog #91, via @ign.com (1/2) Releasing October 28. #IDWSonic

Recent(ish) design sheets I've done for the Sonic comics. Some text on Blackwood and Dapple's pages was removed as it referenced an earlier version of the story and was no longer accurate. Soleil/Lunar's sheet was done before the difference between them was fully figured out, thus the single name

Huge news, y'all! ENDLESS FANTASIA is now available to be purchased by the public! If you missed out on the Kickstarter, now's your chance to snag it! Go here, to buy a copy: www.storyleaf.com/store/endles...

I'm always baffled as to why my art style is often labeled as "cutesy". Sure I can draw cute stuff, but I can also do realism, horror, action, etc. Why am I labeled as "cutesy" and not "versatile"?

My pieces celebrating the 35th anniversary, each one showing a different decade. The idea was to do something a little unexpected, be that illustrating a hypothetical moment in between the story's action or featuring a lesser-known game. Also taking advantage of my stylistic range :)

I use this sequence when I talk to educators and parents about the impact that comics have on literacy and development. This comic requires the reader (in the instances in which I'm discussing, a developing one) to reason how the rat creatures got from their position in the 1st panel to the 2nd. 1/

I don't do classic stuff often, so this was a fun change of pace!

Last year, I successfully crowdfunded my new, original, all-ages, adventure comic series -- ENDLESS FANTASIA! It follows the adventures of Jack and Jill, as they travel across a world of reimagined fairytales and fight Wolf demons! Lots of Sonic and Kingdom Hearts vibes! It drops later this year!

Belle has always been cool, there's just a bunch of people who only judge a character's quality by how much violence they can enact
