Wow. What a weekend. Now that I’ve had time to breathe, let me give out some proper thanks and let y’all know what happens now.
In a dark ominous cave three Black women adventurers walk along while a huge spider lurks behind them. The woman closest to the viewer is dressed like a warrior with a west African styled sword and purple, brown, and red outfit. She holds a lit torch. The woman in the middle is very short, wielding a large ornate axe and wearing furs and leathers. The woman to the rear is an elf, holding a glowing staff and in a blue gown with a collar that looks vaguely Egyptian. On the ceiling behind them the spider is brown and tarantula-like. The light shines off its many eyes.

I'm going to bed. It's been a day.

I started working on my variant cover for the anthology as a relaxer the other night. I would have picked this concept but I didn't want people to think the book would be completely comedic.

A treat for y'all! Someone during the @pinkriotcomicshow.bsky.social asked for a turn around of the cover characters so here's the little barbarian. 😁

A reward for there being almost *500* of you lovely backers.

Are we almost to $14k?!?!??!! I'm not going to lie, having more behind us than in front of us has taken a chunk of stress off my heart. But we can't let up the momentum. Please talk about it, share it, and if you're able back the campaign! Every single dollar counts!

4. I've had this graphic novel idea since a friend pushed it in my head. (IGNORE THE DATE! LOL!) Petoria Walker is a realtor for supervillains and I'll be writing a collection of comics about her!
