Lauren Metzler Art & Comics

Hi, I’m Lauren Metzler! ✨ I’m an Artist, Author & Illustrator creating whimsical worlds filled with silliness, sparkle, and side quests! 🐉✨

I am currently working on my debut cozy fantasy graphic novel Side Quest and sharing my journey as an comic artist. 

On this channel, I share the real behind-the-scenes of making comics and building a creative life! From drawing pages and designing characters to developing stories, worldbuilding, art experiments, conventions, and all the messy bits in between.

Expect:

🐉 Side Quest behind the scenes
🎨 Drawing & illustration
📚 Making a graphic novel
✨ Cozy fantasy & worldbuilding
🧚 Character design
🎮 Games & creative inspiration
🌈 Inclusive and neurodivergent storytelling
💫 The reality of becoming a full-time artist


If you’re a little weird, love fantasy, make things, read too many books, or have ever wondered whether there’s a place for people like us in the stories we love…welcome! 

You’re on the right quest. 🐉✨
