Webcomics from sedna

a comic about space and dinosaurs.

jurassic

jurassic published on No Comments on jurassic

hey, it’s that period that’s famous because of some franchise that overstayed its welcome by soon-to-be 5 movies. you know, the one with all the cretaceous dinosaurs… what’s it called again…?

to be fair though, the jurassic period is when dinosaurs came to dominate mammals and other reptiles, so maybe jurassic park isn’t such a bad name for a story where dinosaurs break out of cages and eat all the humans.

and yes, for those of you who didn’t know, birds are actually avian dinosaurs. and since crocodilians are the only other remaining archosaurs, that technically means that crocodiles are more closely related to ostriches than they are to lizards. isn’t science fun?

triassic

the triassic is probably the most underrated of the three periods in the mesozoic. i mean come on, its like an awesome 50 million year-long tug-of-war between archosaurs and therapsids (proto-mammals) for control of the planet, until the triassic-jurassic extinction happens and the dinosaurs go “nah mate, we’ll take it from here.”

also, my hometown sydney mostly sits on triassic rock. so if any of my fellow sydneysider friends ever go to the beach or someplace and see sandstone cliffs, remember that rock was made over 200 million years ago when dinosaurs just started kicking around.

(this fun fact is guaranteed to make you extra fun at parties.)

the great dying

oh boy, i did a lot of wikipedia bingeing to learn about geological timescales for this comic (and the next few), but here are the cliff’s notes:

the history of the earth is divided into 4 ‘eons’, the current one is called the ‘phanerozoic’, and it’s been going for the last 300 million years. basically everything interesting to do with evolution happens here.

the phanerozoic is divided into 3 ‘eras’:
the ‘paleozoic’ (boring single-celled organisms -> cambrian explosion -> much more fun organisms, yay!)
the ‘mesozoic’ (dinosaurs, yay!)
the ‘cenozoic’ (no more dinosaurs, boo!)

each era can be divided into ‘periods’ (we’re currently in the quaternary), and each period can be divided into ‘epochs’ (we’re in the holocene) if you wanna get real fancy. so it goes eon->era->period->epoch. remember that kids, you’ll be tested on it later (maybe).

sedna makes dini an offer he can’t refuse.

if you haven’t noticed by now, i’m a big fan of silent comics. personally, after page after page of dialogue, i love to take a break and let the pictures tell the story. visual storytelling is always more important than verbal storytelling in my opinion. especially with comics.

now, before you get mad dini, in sedna’s defence, what’s the point in having a giant pile of dinosaur plushies if you can’t bury yourself in them anyway?

as you can probably guess, giraffatitan is what scientists like to call a really big dinosaur. 22 metres long and 12 metres tall. still not the largest known dinosaur, but definitely in the top 5 for cool names.

dinosaur collection

i just assume sedna carries a prop asteroid around at all times, just in case there are some dinosaur plushies lying around which need smashing.

and spoiler alert: she definitely will not stop calling him “future husband”.

tyrannosaurus

tyrannosaurus published on No Comments on tyrannosaurus

yay! it’s dinosaur storyline time! i totally neglected dino comics in the old sedna comic, and i feel like i let dini down a little. in my defence though, dinosaurs are pretty hard to draw, as evidenced by my mediocre attempt here.

and before you ask, yes, i am 100% down to start selling dinosaur plushie merch once once there’s enough demand for it (all the more reason to tell your friends about sedna, just saying :D).

a boy and his dinosaur

oh boy. this one took me a long time to draw. illustration is so haaard! what am i even doing drawing a webcomic?

fun fact: a fully-grown t-rex would be over 5 metres from head to bum, much larger than this little guy.

fun fact 2: grass didn’t exist in the mesozoic when the dinos were kicking around, meaning the time traveller in this imaginary scenario isn’t dini but the t-rex.

morning alarm

i like to imagine the ridiculous amount of time sedna must have spent practising and fine-tuning in order to nail that shot instead of just knocking on dini’s door. but then again, what was sedna gonna do with her time anyway if not launch rockets?
