Life Sketch is a Massively Multiplayer CrossoverWeb Comic with MapleStory sprites. It contains elements and characters from Code Geass, Princess Tutu, Doctor Who, A Witch's Tale, and others. It was created by Shygirl, a contributor.A little girl named Koneko Tachimachi uses her magic sketchbook to bring her favorite anime and video game characters to life. Only she and the Eleventh Doctor know that the characters are just characters, however, and must keep the secret from them or else have them Go Mad from the Revelation. On top of that, they have to deal with Dr. Crackenstien and his band of supervillains trying to steal the sketchbook and use it to take over the world.And, as the fates would have it, Hilarity Ensues.The first issue can be read here on deviantART, or here on Smack Jeeves.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: A particularly strange example. According to Word Of God, the White Space where Jandoe and Zenith reside exists inside the fourth wall.
Brick Joke: Loue challenges Rue to a fight here. In the very next issue, he is seen with a black eye.
Character Development: Myuto, who has had absolutely no personality in the series of his origin due to not having a heart, has been slowly developing since the comic began.
Credits Gag: Two original characters, Jandoe and Zenith, appear in the otherwise blank panel for the disclaimers and have some sort of a witty banter. Sometimes this involves Jandoe singing a little song.
Dawson Casting: Koneko, despite being eight, started out about as tall as all of the older characters around her due to the limitations of using of MapleStory characters as sprites. This problem was fixed in issue 30.
In the Valentine's Day special he shows up with a different hairstyle, claiming that he tried to make himself look "less girly" (and failed). It wasn't permanent.
Our Zombies Are Different: Lump, the little girl zombie who's a friend of Koneko. She's vegan, her expression never changes and she can only say the word "Ungh..." which everyone else can apparently understand perfectly well.
Parental Abandonment: Koneko's parents are currently on a mission around the world, and apparently have been for a few years. She doesn't seem too upset about it.
Issue 15 seems to imply that it has something to do with a glacier bombing...
