The prologue of my comic, Brute, is complete! This is a modern paranormal action/fantasy that will have themes of pride, obsession and the strain it places on the ones we love.

Come join us in the forest and read it for free on Tapas here: tapas.io/series/Brute...
The cover of a webcomic titled Brute. The illustration is set at night in a clearing of a dense forest. Two men, one slim with bright ginger hair and the other broad shouldered with brown hair and a well trimmed beard, stand in the foreground. The ginger haired man holds a hunting rifle at the down and ready position and has a lit flashlight attached to the shoulder of his coat. He has a stern, determined expression on his face. The broader man stands at the other man's back looking in the direction of the viewer over his shoulder. He is wearing an orange hunting vest, and also holds a rifle in his hands, though most of it is out of frame. Behind them to the right side of the illustration there is a simple log cabin. Two stairs lead up to a door and paired window that are lit from inside with warm yellow light. Further back is the heavy treeline, a thick growth of tall, deep green pines. Above all of this heavy, dark clouds billow in the sky, backlit by bright moonlight. The title of the comic, Brute, is written in a bold, capitalized font at a slight angle in the top left corner. To its right a strange creature in profile looms above the clouds. It looks as though it could be a bear - it has rounded ears at the top of its head, and appears to have a thick coat of fur. From the forehead down through muzzle and jaw the skull is completely bare, stark white bone with empty nose and eye sockets.

Fighting with my profile's banner image alignment has forced me to come to terms with the fact that I may not, in fact, be as hip and with it as I used to be when it comes to social media.

if you'll read and praise fanfic despite the lack of gatekeeper approval then it's not farfetched to believe indie authors are capable of the same level of quality. we're in the same ballpark except the latter has the ability to monetise.

"I'm just looking. Just seeing what there is. I don't need anything, I can be reasonable."

Quotes from my inner monologue moments before disaster; entering the crafting aisle.
