An assortment of panels taken out of context from a selection of three pages. I tend to gravitate to supernatural or religious subject matter. I find myths, fairy tales, and ghost stories interesting. Granted I also love sci-fi stuff like aliens and robots, so I like mashing those together. My extras tend to be more heavily caricatured than my main characters. This is less because I think the main characters should be boring like in a Disney movie and more because I like populating worlds with the kind of person you'd meet at a gas station or the dump. I find comics without regular dudes populating the world where everyone's beautiful very lame. What good is a world where everyone's special! Even Rick is meant to have this energy to some degree, in spite of being the "hero". He's still a dude with the same quirks and foibles. The same strengths and weaknesses, just with the weaknesses held back by disciplined habit and the strengths bolstered by the same. I find this true of "strong" or "brave" men in real life too. One unfortunate consequence is that acting all "brave" can sometimes make you look like a ham though. "Heroes" have a bad habit of this!
I hope to keep doing updates on this every now and then.

I agree with the caricaturing the background/less important characters part. It's why I tend to gravitate toward anime that does the same thing, make the main characters look "special" compared to everyone else. It really emphasizes their "special-ness" while making the rest of the world more believable. But like you mentioned, it can make the actual main characters boring "Disney" protagonists if not handled carefully, or if the main characters don't at least some sort of "normal-ness" we, as normal schlubs, can latch onto, as well.
A little something I need to think about the next time I do some world-building, thanks for the insight!
