Storm is nice, but not completely my thing. Art is nice though.
I was always more of an Elfquest kid.
…
Which also explains a lot of things about myself down the line.

Someone asked me about one of my favorite comics, Thorgal, and asked if they should read them.
To which I said yes………BUT, if they get the English cinebook ones, please let me help put them in the right reading order.
(they reprinted them from the normal books 1-2-3-4-etc to 7-3-5-9 because ARGHHH)
Cover to Thorgal: the Archers, featuring a man in black with a yellow armband and a bow and arrow drawn, as well as a bearded man with a peg leg, a young woman in red with a ruby necklace and a younger man checking out the woman slyly

Convincing you to read my novella by the first sentence. Share yours if you want

The first line from my first novella, 'Return the Rose'.
“The noon clock chimed. The Queen, dressed in her evening dinner garb and the many items of jewelry that came with it, sat in silence, watching her onion soup cool to the point of it being little more than cold brown water, the cook’s work going to waste.”

Oh, in my research the HUGE amount of people who were convinced D&D was a satanic sect was astounding. It's not the specific topic I'm researching, but it comes up a lot.

This was the generation that produced Mazes and Monster. (Hi, widdle Tom Hanks)

All my monster smut books are pretty good. They're also discounted on Itch, if that helps.

Thanks for the share. Always fun!
I'm Joachim, mostly smutty writer, sometimes smutty artists. I commissioned the cover art to my smutty books (art by Man Carot), and I hope to put together a smutty comic one day, so I'm always here peeking for potential hires.

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

I did a whole comic set in the snow. Taught me a lot on weight and stuff too.
Comic page of several panels, with an eyeless rabbit creature with six legs running from a pack of normal wolves in a snowy field, being caught in the last panel. An eyeless mole creature bursts out from the snow, toppling a robot over as it emerges. A robot looks at a wolf atop of a dead mole creature, snarling at the robot.

In my first three novellas, one is a monster by society's standards, yet his wife loves him more for it.
The second is a monster through appearance, even though the human is more monstrous for his deeds.
But the third book the monster is monsterous because of how she treats others.

I promise nothing.
…
Imagine a species of jellyfish like being, where the word 'mouth' has no concept. Do they even 'say' or 'speak'?
Or armless slugs. 'Hand', 'arm', 'foot' and 'finger' are gone.

That Green Lantern story of the F-sharp Bell left a lasting impact on me...
Two panels from a green lantern comic, where a pink woman is speaking to a white eyeless alien. Dialogue: GL: "yes, you would make a worthy member of the (untranslatable) corps." Alien: "the what? I didn't catch that." GL: "I'm sorry. my ring's translator function seems to be slipping. I said the (untranslatable) crops. I checked the ring and it worked perfectly. I just couldn't translate the words green or lantern into a language with no concept of color or light.
