animorphsljI am not sure how relevant to people's interests this is, but (besides being a fan of Animorphs, of course) I am a HUGE fan of the webcomic Homestuck, which is about a bunch of thirteen year old kids, aliens, self-discovery, war and death and justice and heroism, time travel, and a giant complex chess game between the forces of creation and destruction that the kids are unwittingly drawn into.
So, basically, it was pretty much begging to get mixed up with Animorphs, and I drew a bunch of doodles to that effect. :P Mild spoilers for Homestuck behind the cut, in the "this is a thing that exists as a concept/game mechanic in Homestuck" sort of sense.
The original concept doodles I did! (Man, I am so proud of that Cassie.) I assigned colors, titles, and lands, and whether the character was a Derse or Prospit dreamer (the yellow/purple behind the names), and some Godhood designs. C:
For those who don't know what all that is:
Homestuck is framed with a video game, SBURB that breaks the wall between itself and reality. The players of the game are drawn into the video game world, and each is given a title and placed on personalized world. (For instance, John, the main character of Homestuck, is the Heir of Breath, and his world is the Land of Wind and Shade). In addition, they have "dreamselves" that live on the moon of either Derse, which is the stronghold of the black chess peices, or Prospit, home of the white chess peices.
Homestuck-style sprites. :V I am pretty proud of the Ax-man, I had to edit together Maplehoof and a Sprite base to make him.
> Cassie: Do the froggy thing
Land of Dew and Graves. (I don't know that Rachel actually has a sword as a weapon, but a random scimitar kind of seems like Rachel's thing. XD )
Land of Wind and Smoke. Not that you can see much of the land. :V
And that's all I have. C: I hope some of you like it!

Your Ax sprite is really cracking me up and I don't know why. I like him though! I like all of this! I never thought of it as a crossover before, but when you put it the way you did I'm surprised I hadn't.
