Illustration of a large crowd of characters of mostly strange alien creatures. At the center of it all is the main character Agnes, a 9 year old girl.
I do a web comic - Agnes from S.P.A.C.E. - about a little girl named Captain Agnes who's crew mutinied - leaving her stranded on a planet where she gathers a new crew to help take her ship back / find out who's behind her original crew turning on her.
