Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge

This week I’m posting a special comic! It's an adaptation of a fantasy #microfiction by Vanellopemint.
Source: mastodon.art/@vanellopemi...

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A short comic strip in four panels: Panel 1. In a dark throne room, King Konstad sits surrounded by his guards and large statues. Kneeling before him is the High Wizard Albrus. > High wizard Albrus: Fear not. All of the books which you have asked to be destroyed, I have taken care of them personally. > King Konstad: Well done, Albrus! Panel 2. Albrus rises and leaves the throne room, followed by his wizard assistant who was waiting outside. Panel 3. As they walk away from the castle, getting outside, the assistant speaks with surprise and curiosity. > Albrus’s Assistant: But you did not destroy those books. You merely gave them to the Witch of the North. Panel 4. Further from the castle, on the bridge, under the day light, Albrus reveals his philosophy. > High wizard Albrus: Konstad is my King, but kings come and go, and knowlege is my god...

Graveyard Surprise
(Halloween Special)

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A short comic strip in four panels: Panel 1. In a misty, night‑time graveyard, among the cold stones of long‑abandoned graves, a beautiful young necromancer stands majestically with her staff. She faces a knight serious about engaging in a fight. > Necromancer: Muahahaha! Attacking a necromancer in a graveyard, you clueless fool! Panel 2. The necromancer raises her staff and arms, casting a spell that spreads luminous effects across the ground around her. Skeletons emerge from the graves. > Necromancer: Skeletons! Rise from the dead! Panel 3. The skeletons look at each other, some pat each other on the back, others hug, seemingly unaware of the necromancer's presence. A mix of disbelief and excitement ripples through them. In the background, the necromancer makes a horrified face: this isn’t the result she expected. > Skeleton 1 (an adult): Hey, kiddo? Is that you? > Skeleton 2 (a smaller one): Grandpa?! > Skeleton 3 (holding another’s hand like a lover): Come along, love, everyone's here. > Skeleton 4 (an elderly one, clutching its back): Hello, youth! Panel 4. The necromancer is disgraced and her arms droop. The five skeletons now huddle together, arms intertwined. The knight roll on the floor laughing at the necromancer’s crushing failure. > Necromancer: I hate tiny family graveyards.

The Sword in the Stone

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic strip in four panels: Panel 1. In darkness, against a background with vegetal notes, through a faint beam of light stands a massive silver sword, finely decorated, embedded in a pedestal that looks like stone. A small warrior mouse and a magician mouse hurry past, hand in hand, but the warrior is drawn to the massive sword. Panel 2. The warrior mouse is already on the pedestal, straining to pull the sword out with all its might. Meanwhile the magician mouse examines the pedestal. Panel 3. The warrior mouse has succeeded! The massive sword is now in its possession; he is happy. Meanwhile, in the background, the magician mouse has managed to pry off a piece of the pedestal with her bare hand: waves of strong smells reach her nostrils. Panel 4. The magician mouse lights the scene with her staff: they are actually both on a cheese platter, and the “sword” was only a knife stuck vertically into a cheese with a gray rind textured like stone. The platter has a piece of Roquefort and Emmental, grapes and a salad in the background. The magician has hearts in her eyes and the warrior is surprised by the discovery.

Meanwhile, many of them are eating the precious seeds on the ground. She feels sad about it. Panel 3: The cute scarecrow then has an idea and say something with a wink to the crows around her. All the crows interrupt their business and look at her in horror and shock. > cute scarecrow: I like pineapple on pizza.

I'm a billionaire, I own the press... So why doesn't everyone like me? Panel 2. The unicorn therapist launches into a possible explanation, surprising the dragon. > Unicorn Therapist: Maybe it's because everything about you is anger, control, deceit, and intimidation? Panel 3. The dragon looks shocked and angry with the unicorn, who is unfortunately too focused on his notepad to see the dragon's reaction. > Unicorn Therapist: In our jargon, we call that being a toxic little piece of... Panel 4. The small unicorn sits alone in his office, which is now burnt and blackened, suggesting it was ravaged by a torrent of flames from the Dragon patient. > Unicorn Therapist: Note to self: try a softer approach next time.

Settings

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic strip in four panels: Panel 1: A princess kneels, holding the body of her dying knight. > Princess: Oh no, my knight! You can't die on me like this! > Knight: It's... too late...

Security

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels. Panel 1. A sorcerer is standing in front of the closed main gate of a tall and dark castle. The guard, on the wall of the castle, shouts: > Guard: Halt, stranger! Do you have the password? > Sorcerer: Yes, it's DarkLord123! Panel 2. Zoom on the guard, shouting another test: > Guard: What about the security code sent to your address? > Sorcerer: Oh yes, I have that: 75482. Panel 3. The guard now hangs a big poster, absurd: there is on it a picture of a horse on a landscape, but it is split into many squares. The laser wand of the sorcerer selects all the squares with horses. > Guard: Now, use your magic to show me all the squares with horses. Good. Panel 4. Shot of the sorcerer, visibly very bored by all these tests, opening his mouth. > Guard (off-panel): Finally, prove that you're an adult by closing and opening your mouth. > Sorcerer: Really?... This comic strip is a critique of the too many security steps in 2025: login/password, 2FA security code, captchas, and adult verification via webcam expression.

A comic in four panels: Panel 1: Young witch Pepper, writing at her desk, with a feather pen and ink. She worries, clearly struggling to find inspiration with a white page, while her hand support her head. On the wall near to her a calendar with a big 'Deadline' in red written on it, circling a day. All the day before that one are striked with a cross except one. Whatever Pepper is supposed to write is up to the audience's imagination. Panel 2. Suddenly, a powerful goddess emerges from a light before the writer, her aura like a flame of pure golden light. She stands divine, while Pepper is captivated in awe before the gorgeous goddess, radiating light and life. > Pepper: Who... Who are you?! Panel 3. The Goddess of Life bends slightly toward Pepper while creating a spell with her hands in a intense light a rounded object. She speaks with an air of complicity. > Goddess of Life: I am the Goddess of Life, and I've come to give you a special gift. Panel 4. The Goddess of Life's gift is a lemon fruit. She beams with pride and happiness. Pepper looks resigned with a mixture of disappointment and exasperation. > Pepper: Of course... > Goddess of Life: You're welcome. This comic strip is a reference to the proverbial phrase: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"

I just took a peek at the thermometer outside...
Yeah...
This is fine...
This is a digital painting of Pepper, my young witch OC, drinking tea in a room engulfed in flames. She has a distant look in her eyes, as if she is trying really hard to deny that everything around her is burning. This is an obvious parody of the original meme "This is fine".
