Katie Tiedrich, formerly known by online persona Hail-Nekoyasha, has been drawing up entertaining video game themed comics for years now. After a good start on deviantArt, she moved onto her own website, Awkward Zombie, where she continued to post comics based on video games, normally the ones she'd been playing at the time, or about things going on in her life, normally school related.
The artist does a lot of art around the Smash Bros. series, especially concerning Marth, Roy, and Link. Since Roy's departure in Brawl, she's done a little more work with the rest of the cast. In particular, it seems Pit at times replaces Roy, not only in looks, but as an ongoing gag.
Other than Smash Bros, she's done a bit of work with World of Warcraft, using in-game humor as an art form. Other comics may revolve around failed raids, and guild chat. Some of these may not always seem funny to those that aren't familiar with the MMORPG, but anyone who has played the online phenomenon will certainly appreciate the humor.
She's done a bit of other game works as well, such as Fire Emblem, Phoenix Wright, Pokemon, the Zelda series, Pikmin, Pokemon, Trauma Center, and more. I've posted several of my favorite comics below. Click the images to make them larger.
Anyone that enjoys gaming (especially Nintendo titles) humor should DEFINITELY check out her site. There are a LOT of wonderful comics and stories I haven't even gotten to, and I can't put into words the nostalgia factor I get from reading some, or the "THAT'S WHAT I'VE WONDERED" moments that I've thought from reading others. She has a strong following of fans, as well, and you can join them on her forum, or read along each week at her site. Find her at: http://www.awkwardzombie.com
