So, I was looking for something in the attic when I ended up finding a box filled with old drawings from 2004
I decided to scan my favourites and share here, so I can keep for memories and stuff.

Anyway, here we can see Juba’s first appearence (from when I first found dA).

The very first on the top, she used to have hair and I was influenced by an anime drawing of Crash and the Fairly Odd Parents. And I don’t know how the heck I ended up with “Janla” for her name.
That was based on an anthro drawing of me as a jaguar (with hair and stuff), so I wanted her to have hair.
But It didn’t came out as I expected because I hated the haircut.

The seccond one is closer to her actual appearence. I made in 2005.
I remember being with a dictionary to look for names there. I don’t know how I came up with those terrible names and also don’t know why on earth I tough that “Jara” was nice…..

The third is the very first colored drawing that I made of her, and also when I decided to give her my nickname, “Juba”.
Juba is the brasillian word for lion’s mane and since I alway had a messy curly hair, people called me that. Usually it’s offensive, but I didn’t mind and now people often know me by Juba, so… yeah…..

seriously, what the heck is happening there?
I can’t browse anything realted to a tv show, movie or some trend without coming across these “memes” and “motivational posters”…….I love deviantart with all my heart, but seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

So, I’m taking part in a brazillian cultural contest, named “Ideias Ilustradas” (something like “Illustrated Ideas”), where they send me a theme and I have to create a comic strip with that theme.

The theme of tha last contest (and my first) was “Artistic Block”.
So, with that in mind I create two comic. I was eager to send them my seccond idea, but I was afraid that I would ended up desqualified, so I send them the first, wich is possible to be seen with all its color and glory at sketches.thecomicseries.com
