It's HIDEOUS!!!
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no- well, you get the point.
It seems the inhabitants of “Aquaria” are making a few changes in light of their new ruler.
As always, you can find my other work at maxgraphix.deviantart.com
Alternately, the black and white version:
Manny is the quiet one, and not much else is known about him. He keeps to himself, but is always there when someone needs protecting, or something heavy needs moving. Because he rarely says anything, everyone has their own idea of him, and so everyone likes him.
Lenn
y is a rather effeminate seahorse, with a love
for the theatre. Of course, this means Finn can't stand him, and most of his time is spent weathering verbal attacks. He dreams of one day performing in an undersea ballet, and finding a beautiful seahorse girl to carry their babies for.
Ah, references.
Tim and Jim are two halves of a whole idiot. Their silly antics are relatively harmless, though something always gets broken, with the other twin to point blame to. They actually came from a huge school of identical siblings, but were the only one's to survive. They do absolutely everything together, and even finish each other's....
Okay, maybe not.
What's that delicious smell?
Caught in the act.
Real heavy themes.
This concludes section one of our main story arc. For the next few weeks, we'll have single strip stories and jokes.
Useless Factoid: The art for the final panel in this strip is actually the original thumbnail sketch.
Let me know if you want an inside look at the thumbnailing process for this comic, or any other aspect of my creative process.
Also, i'm happy to say that the art in panel 1 is early expression art as part of a storyline I cut during the original writing process.
Like taking candy from a baby....fish.(Panel 2:) I thought it'd be amusing to give that particular line to a character of his....stature.
Enter: Villainous Lackeys.
Each Saturday (while we still have new characters), I'll be posting character description profiles to help you get to know the kooky cast of Tanked, including unique character pics!

Yoyo! (Milo Jeffrey Jenkins McBubbles the Third)
The youngest of the aquarium fish, Yoyo's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Everything excites him, and NO is not part of his vocabulary. Yoyo spends his free time blowing bubbles, and annoying Oscar.
No hamsters were harmed in the making of this strip.
Our fourth page is now up, the About page! Here you'll find a brief summary of the webcomic, including it's origins, as well as a biography of the author.
Nothing more frightening than a little girl.
Our third page is now up, the cast page! On this page you'll be able to find all of the character bios, updated as I post them on Saturdays. Who knows, you may learn a thing or two not mentioned in the comic strip itself!
Delicious vanishing grapes.
Our second page is now up, the links page! On the new page you'll find links to where you can find my works and contact me, as well as a list of the WebComics I read and think you'll enjoy as well. Go check 'em out!
Also, because of the inconsistency of my posting, the next two posting weeks will be on a Monday Wednesday Friday schedule, so more content faster!

Oscar the Goldfish!
A streetwise goldfish from the sewers, Oscar has found himself crowned king of a petstore fishtank, responsible for its crazy inhabitants. Although he may seem grouchy, he does care and has a sense of ownership over his new home. Just don't ask him how he got the hole in his dorsal fin.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
And thus we conclude the introduction portion of Tanked, just in time for a short vacation. We'll be back in two weeks to jump right into our first story arc!
You may also notice near the top of your screen that the Tanked! Blog has a new page, namely the archive. The archive page is an easy hub for all of the Tanked strips to date, in chronological order, so you don't have to go searching through pages of blog entries. It's a great place to start if you need to catch up, or if you are entirely new to the Tanked webcomic. Expect more pages soon!
I'm not sure if he was scarier before or after the reveal...
Believe it or not, this particular character is one of the truest to the actual fish. I based Orlando the Oracle off of an Oranda goldfish (pictured below), with large bulbous red growths on their heads that, to me, look like turbans. The rest, as they say, is fishtory.
Oh Lenny, always the polite one.
We're off to see the Oracle. The wonderful Oracle of.....
"I like your eyebrows." Ke$ha would be proud.
Introductions to be made. What can I say, I love large casts.
The world is your oyster, but sometimes you wake up in the wrong one.
Fade to black. Nonverbal storytelling, my favorite.
This is where those of you inclined to talk to your computers will yell, "Look behind you!".
