The elaborate footwear of the dowager sorceress

Lord Doka's Adjutant - the Dowager Sorceress. She has taken quickly to life in Karazad, but her main goal - to master the necromantic powers of the Great Transformer - remain elusive.

Huge thanks from both of us for the support!!!

The humble village necromancer’s temple. The design mimics the tiered shape of reality itself. The world tree above ascends to the heavens, and beneath it all, the stone chamber of the underworld, where the necromancer does his work…

Lord Doka, the Domekan military governor of Karazad. The traditional skull-cap favored by Domekan nobility has been modified for his new domain, with a fold-down mask for spiritual defense. Notably, a karazadi nobleman's helm, presumably a war trophy, is displayed on his desk.

my comics advice is: show feet

it sounds like dumb online meme nonsense but it's not; every 2-3 pages make sure you draw your character so their feet show, it grounds them in the environment and forces you to vary your panel composition.

god i wish that was me

life advice per @simonroy.bsky.social - get you one who winks at you like they wink at you at santo elisabeto abbey.

A crossover/team-up featuring Jonah Hex and Rocket Raccoon, who're chronally displaced in the Hyborian Age - only to meet and be assisted by Conan the Cimmerian and Red Sonja in order to return home.

I'd have either @simonroy.bsky.social or @farel.bsky.social, if not *both*, illustrate it.

The Domekan encampment, outside the shattered gates of Karazad. Their livestock refuses to enter the city - an ill omen that keeps most of the invaders from sleeping inside its walls.

One of the city’s garrison-crypts - built to hold the fighting dead of the demiurge, torn asunder during the fall of the city.

An intact Karazadi double-vaulted garrison-crypt. Built with extensive fortifications, as well as quarters for their necromancer commanders, each vault extends deep underground, for keeping the fighting dead cold and well preserved…

It also depends on how image comics feels after we get order numbers on the latest book (the softcover of a star called the sun), so I’ll know more once it’s released in February

Very excited to see some music inspired by this piece!!!

My plan is to eventually get paperbacks printed for all of the book! The timelines on that are a bit more ambiguous though, sadly

This is absolutely wonderful- thank you for sharing! I love how you started it with the ambient street noise too

After seeing this illustration a couple weeks ago (as well as the rest of your Karazad series) I knew I had to make a track inspired by it. Hope you like it!

Incredible photos from a patron (Matt Milkowski) who cut out his set of paper dolls! Through experimentation he also found the best way to cut and fold the bases so they stand properly (see last slide for details- and you can find these paper dolls yourself, hidden away on the patreon)

You: Yeah I get these glasses are really useful for registered sex offenders, but what about me, how will it help in my daily life as an electrician?

Zuckerberg: well, you buy them and I become richer.

You: that's not a very persuasive argument

Zuckerberg: But I get more money
