This is the thread for my minicomic, Into the Bladelands! I will be posting updates of anywhere from 2-4 pages here, hopefully to be finished before the end of the year.

Sky disappears. Ari gets left behind. Five years later, the door to the Bladelands opens again.
Into the Bladelans cover Ari (vo): When I was sixteen, my best friend disappeared. We grew up together in the woods between our houses. Sky could have fun no matter what. Sky: Pick up your sword and fith me like a man! Ari: Wait for me! Ari (vo): My favorite thing to do was just live in his world. Bully: Whatcha drawin, faggots? The map to your honeymoon? Sky punches him. Later, Ari tends to his wounds. Sky: You probably think I'm really stupid. Ari: I just think you're really brave. They kiss. Sky: We can't tell anyone about this, okay? Ari: Yeah, of course. A couple years pass. Sky and Ari are looking at the stars. Sky: Y'know, I think about it all the time. Ari: What we've been doing? Sky: No, man, the Bladelands! We'd run shit over there. Be warriors or kings or whatever. Ari: Heh, too bad it's not real. Sky: well, it could be. Ari: Dude. Sky: I'm just saying! Maybe we were picking up a signal or something. Like a radio station from another state, but with dragons. It feels like that sometimes. Y'know, I turn 17 tomorrow. And I'm starting to freak out a little because, like, this is it? I thought I could be more than this. Ari: Hey, you can be! When we're 18, we can get out of here. We'll move to the city. Together. Sky: I guess... it still just all feels so small. At least in the Bladelands, there's magic. And prophecy, and swords, and danger. You can be an adventurer. You can at least be, like, an important person. Ari: You're important, Sky. You're important to me. Sky: Heh. Gayyy. Ari: Shut up. Ari (VO): That was the last night I ever saw him. Ari walks away. Sky spots a mysterious portal behind a tree and reaches out to it. Ari (Vo): The next day, he was gone. We see a montage of Ari's lonely life. Sky's parents mourn and move away. Ari graduates. Gets a job working at a bookstore. The impromptu memorial for Sky rots. Ari (VO): And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. And then five years were gone.

welcome to pages 6-7 of bladelands (feel free to make your 6-7 comments now)
and the return of a familiar face!
Ari: The pun.. the punish... p... the p... the pun?!?!? Elf: You'd better think fast, stranger. A young man with long blonde hair and a scar across his face appears, partially obscured behind some trees. It is immediately apparent who he is. Sky: Zerra! Zerra, what's going on over there? The elf, Zerra: Sky! I told you to stay hwere it was safe while I made sure- Sky: Come now, it's my anni... versary. Sky and Ari lock eyes for the first time. Ari, shocked and in tears: Sk... Sky? Sky tears up also. Sky: hhh. heh. it's... it's Ari. He breaks into a run, going to sweep Ari into a hug. Sky: IT'S ARI! Zerra: Uh, who? They embrace. Sky: It's Ari. It's Ari. It's Ari. Ari: It's me? it's YOU! How are you even real? How are you alive? You were gone. You were dead. Sky pulls back to get a good look at him. Sky: Gone? Yes. Dead? Not just yet. Ari, don't you know where we are? It's the bladelands. It's real, Ari. It's all real. Always has been. Just like I thought. Gods, you look so well. So young! Other than the scruff, you look just the same. Ari: Heh, I guess. I dunno. But this does explain her. He waves awkwardly at Zerra. Her elf ears assume an expression that resembles someone cocking their eyebrows. Ari: If we're in the bladelands, that's why there's an elf.

I’m putting my classic character “Grunbo” into the public domain. Anyone can use Grunbo in their projects and endeavors however they like. I don’t care anymore. I wash my hands of Grunbo!
A cartoon guy with spiky hair and his hands on his hips. His t-shirt has a lightning bolt on it. He looks dumb as heck. This is Grunbo.

Redrew this old art from 2021
an illustration of the artist, Matt Aytch Taylor, hanging off the front of an ocean liner smoke stack-from the RMS Queen Mary to be specific-looking out toward the horizon. the artist wears a buttondown shirt and a pair of rolled cuff jeans. Chack sandals adorn their feet. Gulls float in the distance. an updated illustration of the artist, Matt Aytch Taylor, hanging off the front of an ocean liner smoke stack-from the RMS Queen Mary to be specific-looking out toward the horizon. the artist wears a buttondown shirt and a pair of rolled cuff jeans.

I am extra excited about this one because it's several of my favourite motifs in one gorgeous (loving the coloured pencil backgrounds!) comic. I'm sharing an exciting bit but we're up to pages 6 and 7 now!

Pages 4 and 5 of Into the Bladelands are here! Please enjoy & share ur thoughts and feelings
Five years after Sky disappeared, Ari is walking into the woods behind his childhood home. He's on the phone with his mom, and it's nighttime. Ari (on phone): No, I told you, Ma. I can't make it to dinner. It's the anniversary. ... What I always do. I need this, okay? I'll see you guys next week. He opens one of the two cans he brought with him and puts it in the grass on the hill beside him. Ari, sighing: Hey, Sky. It's Ari again. Been a while. Some time passes. Ari: So, remember how last year I said I was sure the new Game of Thrones book was gonna come out? Guess who looks like a big idiot now? I dunno, I sort of hope he doesn't ever finish the series at this point. Some things are better when they don't have a real ending. Like you. Cheers, Sky. He clinks the cans together, but the can set aside for Sky starts rolling down the hill, spilling beer everywhere. Ari: Aw, shit. He chases it to the base of the hill and sees something sparkling behind a tree. Ari: What... what the hell? He reaches behind the same tree Sky reached behind five years ago. He emerges into a forest in midday. Ari: Hel... Hello? Hello? Hell-- He's interrupted by an arrow thrumming straight past his head. Ari: Ah! Elf: Halt! State your business, stranger. We see an elf woman with red hair and a bow and arrow. She's in front of a sprawling landscape that includes a forest, a camp and a castle in the distance. Elf: Poaching in the Princewood is punishable by death.
