Oh hey, Thoth here, you don’t mind if I just set this envelope containing a little snippet of what I’m working on your desk would you?… alright then… Just don’t open it, ok?

Open the envelope?:

“My name is Lyfrassir Edda, I am the new Head Archivist of The Magnus Institute, London. Due to recent events I have acquired a job here. Before this I worked as an inspector, and perhaps that’s what got me hired. Either way my employer, one Ms. Carmilla, seems happy with my placement here, and who am I to complain about getting a paycheck. She has given me three assistants. Their names are Ivy Alexandria, Raphaella La Cognizi, and… Marius Von Raum… I will not say much about them, but I hope I will not be needing their assistance often.”

Sometimes You Just Have To Render A Particularly Nice Panel In A Comic Where A Character Looks Especially

Sometimes you just have to render a particularly nice panel in a comic where a character look’s especially pretty. There’s another one on the last page I want to render too but this one was a lot less difficult and didn’t have any perspective hubjub, so I did the one first and might do the other one if I’m feeling it.

Sometimes You Just Have To Render A Particularly Nice Panel In A Comic Where A Character Looks Especially

Panel I picked

panel 1: Arthur is standing against a black background. a text bubble spoken by Kayne, who is not in the panel, reads "I'm sure I don't need to tell you who they are, but know that they are smiling and laughing, happy even." panel 2: entirely text spoken by Kayne. it reads "kill him right here right now, don't say a word, and I will help you." 3rd panel: Kayne is speaking, looking off to the side somewhere as he does. "good luck, Arthur". panel 4: Kayne disappears, and the motion marks made to indicate that's look vaguely like an eye. panel 5: the black background fades into white as Arthur moves forward through the hallway, and music fills the air. he holds the dagger close to his side. panel 5: Arthur's alternate universe self, who will be referred to as Arthur 2 for convenience sake, has his back turned to the reader and is playing the keys of an upright Piano next to Faroe, who is tugging at his sleeve to get his attention. panel 6: Arthur 2 stops playing the piano and turns to see what Faroe wants. she points in the direction of the reader/Arthur 1. panel 7: it's a split panel which shows Arthur 2's eyes. Arthur 2's eye is wide and shocked, while arthur 1 is looking forward with unfocused, pained eyes which are tearing up. arthur 1 has a scar on the bridge of his nose while arthur 2 is unblemished and still knows comfort. panel 8: arthur 2 stands now, putting himself between Faroe and arthur 1, looking worried and unsure. "who are you? he asks "how did you get here?" panel 9: Arthur 1 stands, shrouded in darkness. he is angled so that the dagger is hidden, but it pokes out slightly. he is silent and doesn't answer, instead he seems to be hesitating and having second thoughts towards his task. panel 10: a close up of the dagger, the edges of the panel are more pointed to indicate alarm and action. panel 11: Arthur 1 bolts forward, face obscured by darkness. the shadow he leaves behind him is stark and thick. panel 12: the silhouette of Arthur 1 stabbing Arthur 2. 1's hand is on 2's shoulder while the other hand is pushing the dagger into his gut. 2 has a hand on Arthur as if he was about to try and push 1 away. Faroe stands behind 2. panel 13: Arthur 2's eyes become lifeless and dead.

Loretober Day 1: Parasite

Loretober Day 1: Parasite

Over the years, a group of vampire bats adapted to the cold and lack of food brought by nuclear winters by feeding on the one food source which was rare, yet once found was hard to lose. The kaiju which roamed the earth after the first two catastrophes were an open food source, seeing as they don’t die easily, and are easy to spot.

One thing which does make this food source a bit iffy, is the fact kaiju are magical, and have the ability to shrink in size when needed. To combat this, the bats have adapted to detect magic, and when their host is no longer of a size they can latch onto, they will lurk about the area of the kaiju until it returns to its natural size. After a long enough duration of waiting however, they will fly off and look for a new host.

Since kaiju tend to have thick skin, they use their tounge in much the same way a mosquito would, but as they don’t use the blood to spawn, they stay in place more like a tic would.

Also expanding on this, what pieces of pop culture, scientific knowledge, literature, and/or history would you keep?
