I am Zen Snowden, the “Z” in ZRock Comics. I started drawing as soon as I could pick up a pencil. It has been my passion and creative outlet. I always loved art and comics but never considered making it a career until about 2015. I studied animation at Woodbury University.
I have always been drawn towards comic books and Mangas, especially ones in the fantasy and action realm. As an artist, many of my inspirations come from the older anime I watched when I was younger such as Akira, Gurren Lagann, Samurai Champloo, Bleach,, Casshern Sins, and Trigun (the original one – yes there is a newer one – but when I am talking about Trigun I mean the O.G. ‘98 version). And of course, Dragon Ball Z (but who doesn’t love that one).
My favorite part of illustrating comic books is designing characters. I love bringing them to life, creating personality through their physical features and style. Characters matter, and stories matter. I love using my art to create characters, that audiences can relate to and see themselves in.
