Blue Hadpanagus by AZ

Blue Hadpanagus has 4 legs, and he wears 5 butts on his tail.

 

Hadpanagus, King of Beasts.

I painted this while I was working on some art for Crowded Comics, a fun new site that lets users write their own captions for editorial cartoons.

Today I learned two important facts about Hadpanaguses. They have ears. A little pointy, but not too pointy. And they even hunt each other’s butts!

Here’s AZ’s version of the same scene. Hers is a vast improvement, because her Hadpanagus is walking on a carpet of butts! And there’s a Hadpanagus band playing a tuba, a trumpet, and drums!

Hadpanagus meets Krampus, page 1

A short comic inspired by Alphabeasts! (And especially AZ’s creations.) There will be 3 pages of this, but I might not be able to post the next two until after Christmas, because something else has come up that will require my immediate attention.

This subtle and exquisite hadpanagus is by Leah Palmer Preiss, whose work was recently featured on A Word A Day. And she has an etsy shop.

 

Ichipotomas fan art

Our friend Isaac at Satisfactory Comics has drawn some fanart of AZ’s Ichipotomas painting.

Check out this faithful interpretation of AZ’s art. AZ says the nose is too small, but otherwise, it looks the way an ichipotomas should look. She is very pleased with the nice, big butt with little itch marks on it. I think we can all see why a hadpanagus might hunt for him. There is also another drawing (in color!) so be sure to click the link.

 

ichipotomas by az

AZ says:

“ichipototomas is a quiet shy hipopotomas with antlers.
A super crazy creature toataly. he eats grass!
he hides in the trees at day time, so hadpanagus
wont come and steal his butt, and he comes down
and sits by the ocean at night. but sitting there
makes him itch, so he just sits there itching all night.
lives under trees and fears birds. if a bird is in the tree above him he sticks his head down in the dirt, with his tail down. he eats mice while hes down in the dirt. if he’s in a tree hiding, and a bird is in same tree, he would jump to another tree or jump onto another planet and back. the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

AZ says:

“the ORANGE HADPANAGUS is a screaming hadpanagus, envented
only by az. made two hadpanaguses, but more people
made hadpanaguses too! all the hadpanaguses are brothers!

You’ll never guess what the orange hadpanagus screams about…
