I don’t think Miguel is the kind of man Maria was thinking about.

The backgrounds on this page were heavily inspired by paintings from John Atkinson Grimshaw, particularly his series of paintings of London docks. And over in the corner of the first panel are Jaime and Abby from my friend Nilah’s comic M.F.K. They’re pretty tiny, but I swear it’s them!

Still on vacation. 🙂 This week’s Vote Incentive is character development sketches of Hernan.

The SpiderForest Comic of the Week ends this week! Our final Comic is Nahast: Lands of Strife by By Alejandro “Al-X” Melchor. Derrexi Tzelan, eldest daughter of one of Solerne’s top Noble Houses, arrives to the city of Beldatz under orders from the Empress. Her mission, as she is aware of it, is to train a detachment of Hawk Maidens, an elite female warrior order, from the local girls in preparation for the Festival of New Dawn. What she does not know is that she is to be the wildcard in the struggle between the city’s political and supernatural factions, a conflict that unbeknownst to its players, has a deep relationship to the spiritual well-being of the Empire. Derrexi will find many allies and foes, both hidden and in plain view, as she strives to understand herself and the nature of the gods of Nahast and their eternal war. This one hasn’t updated since February, but the archives are well worth a look.
