This is what the kids call fucking around and finding out.

@barryosullivart.bsky.social inks on A Mother Scorned are so damn good. Cannot wait to see @jpjordan.bsky.social colours on the pages.

Then @robjoneswrites.bsky.social media will work his magic!

A smiling soldier points a gun at a woman’s head

That same man points the gun at someone again. An arrow pierces his hand and sticks it to a van. A masked figure stands over him. His eyes widen as they figure unmasks to reveal that same woman with dead white eyes

I love the story I wrote for this book as a rabid Irish mythology fan. Even moreso I love the art that @barryosullivart.bsky.social created from that story.

Art so good it deserves to be blessed by @jpjordan.bsky.social colours and @robjoneswrites.bsky.social letters!

Page one of A Mother Scorned. A woman hangs a picture on a wall. Some soldiers arrive and take her daughter. One soldier points a gun at her.

Page four of A Mother Scorned. Saoirse awakes in The Otherworld. She meets The Morrigan who hands her a bow and a mask

The Childless is LIVE!
This 120-page anthology features thirteen stories set in a dystopian world where the law states that the children of separated parents must be sacrificed in the name of family values.
I'll give you four reasons to support it here! 🧵

The pencils in question and some zoomed up details.

Im very happy with Goofys shield.

This was inked using Clayton Henrys Ink Bleed brush and a charcoal brush for some minimal texture details.

I got my hands on a scan of Tetsuya Nomuras' raw pencils for a bunch of Kingdom Hearts artwork.

His work really altered my brain chemistry when i was young. Particularly the Cloud design and the Chain of Memories cover.

So im gonna be inking them all to get back into my groove.

A 5 pager portfolio piece I just finished up. You don't see any comics about Ireland's oldest sport.

Im pretty pleased with the flow I got down. The eye travels in a good way.

Would be class to get some colours on this.
