Indeed, it is true. I especially cherish its hermetic snake symbolism.

This can come together as a truly wonderful work of word, art and design -- but it will only really happen with your help and support! 🙏💖

Andrew is now 127% funded- but that should only spur you to greater action! Go check out the book! It’s the sort of euro comics fantasy action adventure you’ve always dreamed of…

We have crossed the threshold, leaping boldly past our funding goal! Thank you to everyone who has ordered so far! We cannot rest on our laurels, there are still 25 days remaining to tell your mortgage broker, your drug dealer, your McKinsey consultant about BASILEUS!

I too like to imagine that my ancestors were beating the snot out of each other thousands of years ago

Frank really is the workin man’s amphibious, tank bodied, robot..

Me, discovering we are 90 percent of the way to our funding goal! Continue to tell your vague acquaintances at the office, random people on the street, and your most despised political rivals about BASILEUS (on kickstarter, link below)

@basileuscomic.bsky.social and I go way back - he’s even working on a short grobusverse story with me, for release sometime this year! All the more reason to go check out his incredible book…

This is not the door that appears in BASILEUS (live on kickstarter!!! check the quoted tweet below) but I like to imagine it is, perhaps a back entrance. A wizard must have many points of egress.

The feeling is mutual! It would be nice to get to print this time, but if not I'll just try again, you know how the juice works online, its a fickle mistress.

As a part of mickstarter march (I can say it, I'm a little irish) I will inform you that YOU can receive an original drawing, similar to this one, if you purchase the upper tier. Only 8 remain!

😍 wow Jorge thank you!!

Basileus : Book 1 by basileus A perpetual fantasy story, featuring 2 roguish fellows stumbling blindly across a broken world.

I have made the first book, comprising two chapters about 90 pages in length, into a PDF for those of you who like that sort of thing.

In a few months I am hoping the great Gods of finance and international business line up, so we can print a beauty HARDCOVER for u

Not so much the gradients, as the texture. Mostly I want to do Japanese style woodblock print, or even imitate old printed comic colour, which has subtle textural variation in flat fields. This texture is still a little too extreme, but I went ahead with it anyway, thanks!
