Thanks to Alejandra, all 5 cards of my main characters from The Wretched are translated into Spanish! Why? Because the comic will be in Spanish, too!
I can only post up to 4 images, so be sure to check the comments for the fifth character, plus a link to a 40pg preview in Spanish + Kickstarter! 😁

Woo-hoo, we made it to 50 followers! 🥳
This is my first #comic, so it's nice to see many others are interested in it. I'm planning to get the #Kickstarter ready by mid next year, so hopefully we can get many more onboard. :3
Next up: Targeting 60!
Anyone want a look? Check the comments below! 😁

After working 10-11 hours yesterday editing a Kickstarter video for a friend, I'm doing the whole "relax" thing today.
Some menial tasks aside, I had lunch with a friend earlier (see food pic) and will be playing video games. 😊
(Getting through Prey right now)
May have a Substack post tomorrow. 👀

Even #monsters have shadows.
Parts of themselves they hate. Parts they wish would go away. Instead, it grows more and more, like an infection.
What if that shadow is their humanity?
What will they do?

Introducing, Arnett!
He's another main character, along with Malik here, in our group of amalgams in my #comic: The Wretched.
Amalgams are humans who were experimented on and given animal and machine parts by a mad scientist in the story.
Hope you like it! Link to comic in the comments. 😊

Feels so good for production on The Wretched to be back! Look at this page from Adam Fields! 😮
I adore the care and detail he puts into this world, and soon you'll be seeing it brought to life in color with vibrant characters to go with it.
(And I have the Kickstarter pinned, if you want more! 😊)

Man, I love taking physical notes.
Also, this new ink (Candidy Sea, Alchemy Ink from MadeByEndless) is incredible!
Look at that purple shimmer with the deep blue! 😲 💖
(It's a little difficult to see on video, but in person it is so gorgeous)
The new Endless Phantom fountain pen is good, too. 🙂

I look forward to sharing more progress updates on the #comic. We should be back into making new pages within a month. 😊
