Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Echo's life is in danger. Someone is killing people who claim to be psychic, and despite being a fraud, he's a target. To survive, he puts his trust in Ren, an actual psychic. However, Ren's ability to dictate the course of events is frightening in its own way. #GN #DVArt #DVpit #SFF #LGBT #SF

For the final day, my long running WIP is my comic City of Cards. It's the story of Ace, a guy with no past, who by simply trying to live his life sets off a chain of events. Ghosts, cyborgs, love and loss.

I've learned so much working on this story.

Ren - 24 year old junk dealer, somehow always knows what someone will need. Ever since he was a kid, his memories seemed to work both ways - the past and the future appear the same to him. He's been waiting for the day he meets Echo, but he'll have to convince him he's not totally insane.

Echo - 23 year old fake psychic medium. His parents dropped him off at a clinic when he was 8 to get a cybernetic implant to deal with his seizures, but unsure they could pay the debt they disappeared on him. He gets by on what charm he can muster, but hasn't built any deep connections.

Dark drawing with screen tones of two people floating with bubbles. One holds up a cellphone camera, beaming light. The other has their hand pressed up as if against glass.

Veile is the headstrong young leader of House Socha (rather, what's left of it). She wants to travel to the Herge where her title still means something.

Heim & Kagan are the main two but I have a couple more characters I'm gonna introduce before SBCF starts... in TWO DAYS!! >w<
