On the Subject of Divinity

“Here you are Mr. George.” The waitress placed a steaming coffee mug on the table.

Henson George looked up from his newspaper and gave her a polite nod with an approving smile. He folded the crackling sheets of gray newspaper print and placed them to the side.

It was a Friday night, almost closing time, and the restaurant was nearly empty. He liked coming around this time because he could read the paper and enjoy a cup of coffee in peace. Many large companies were building the...

The Wise Wicca

First off, let me say this has to be my favorite stand-alone sketch of my characters that Daryl has made thus far. 

Second, meet Gam. She's Norman's grandmother and the leader of the Red Cove coven. 

When I first wrote her character into existence, I wanted her to be strong, confident, and highly skilled with magic. I didn't want her to follow that "wise old character type" theme most stories use though because I knew most people would immediately compare her to the like...

Regarding the Disappearance of Martha Walsh

Martha Walsh sneezed.

Dust scattered from the row of books in front of her, floating and dancing in the air like clumpy, gray snowflakes. 

“Shit.” She said, adjusting her glasses and wiping her runny nose with her handkerchief.

The 17th-century occult manuscript she had been studying was now covered in dust bunnies and mucus. Sighing, she cleaned and placed the manuscript back in its protective plastic sleeve and returned it to its numbered placeholder on the booksh...

The Sword in the Stone

Concealed in the tall grass of the forest floor, a bush rabbit cleaned herself. The quiet hush of the foggy Irish morning crept slowly into the woodlands.

A subtle southern wind carried the fog to embrace the woodland critters like a blanket of cold mist. The ancient trees creaked and moaned. Their frightened spirits shook free of their bark, fleeing deeper into the darker green of the forest. 

Something was coming. 

The bush rabbit’s ears perked and flicked in t...

Cora

Cora is a character I've been DYING to introduce to this series. She's our lovable, lesbian pyromaniac and will be making her debut in Chapter 3 :)

Gamigin

Technically, this is my first personal sketch of Gamigin which is super strange for me. When Daryl and I would create my characters in his style, I had sketches of my own to show him as a base/example of how I wanted characters to look. 

But not Gamigin.

I think it's because I hadn't really thought of Gamigin's character until after we started Chapter 2 and I hadn't had time to sketch out my ideas of him. I pretty much sent Daryl 5 example images from Pinterest and said "Make...

Norman and Cal Sketchdump

I didn't have time to sketch anything new today, so I figured I'd still make a post with all of my own personal sketches of Norman and Cal from the past 2 years. I will be making two sketches for tomorrow to compensate.

I excluded some early sketches because damn my drawing was horrible back then, but I love looking back on all this and seeing how far I've come since 2017.

Thank you all so much for walking this journey with me. I love this story and these characters so much <3 ...

Nim's Halloween Habits

Nim likes to sit in bowls 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hocus Pocus 🎃

Comic Update 006 - 10/1/19

HEY COMIC FRIENDS

It's officially SPOOPY MONTH 👻

Time for all the demons and other shits to come out of the shadows to party! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *insert cackling laughterrrrrr*

But in all seriousness, I love Halloween. It's my favorite time of year.

Kinda as an Inktober thing for the BKI Patreon, I'm planning to release a butt-ton of sketches of my characters, written short...

Comic Script 005 - Chapter 2, Page 49

Hello hello helllooooo

For this month's script post, I wanted to show you guys one of the Belphegor pages that didn't have any text bubbles on it. I love seeing how Daryl takes my writing and transforms it into something I hadn't envisioned before. It's so cool how writing is visualized differently for everyone.

Daryl really took this idea and ran with it, but it turned out so freaking cool. My original vision was to have 3 different panels and highlight each memory like a flashba...

Patron Pledge Issue

Hey everyone,

It has come to my attention that some Patrons have been editing their pledges up to $5 so they can read the current pages, then readjusting back down to $1 so they don't have to pay extra. 

I want to reemphasize that I write and produce 100% of this story out of my own pocket so readers like you can enjoy the story, but I can't keep doing it in a financially sustainable way completely on my own dime. That's why the Patreon tiers are set up the way they are now.<...

Corruption

Norman's character has been one of my favorite things to write because I always try to change him. He started off as this cocky, arrogant straight-ish, masc character, but eventually evolved into the quirky and shy ball of embarrassment he is today. And I like him like that. 

I think Norman represents more of how I project myself in public: grade-A socially awkward. But I think what I tried to change most about Norman is his confidence in his openly Gay self. Sure, he gets embarras...

Comic Update 005 - 9/6/19
