Well I slept through werewolf day (surprise). To make up for it, here's a snippet of a rough something from a while back. I rarely share my writing (that isn't Howling Howff related), but I'm working on a small novel. 🐺🐾

A classic Henry transformation (yes he's a bitten werewolf)
A short snippet of a transformation scene about a werewolf not having a good time. Henry hit the floor with a scream when his spine bowed in on itself, vertebrae pulling at corded nerves. He screamed and howled in anguish as adrenaline flooded his system in a desperate bid to dampen the agony whilst his body broke upon the floor. Ribs flexed outwards with the tearing of flesh and his protruding chest narrowed to a point, compressing lungs that struggled to inflate. A tangle of limbs pawed at the dirt floor, digits shed nails and wicked claws pushed through, palms crunching with a prolonged spasm when they were pulled back into a wilder shape. He thrashed, head slamming against the wall, suddenly blind when his skull flattened and he danced in seizure, blissfully unaware for a brief moment, until the pressure on his brain abated and slavering jaws split flesh once more. The thing- Henry, screamed until he physically couldn't, throat closing as vocal cords thickened, blood and saliva suffocating him. He collapsed in respiratory distress, a violent spasm forcing a wheezing rattle from struggling lungs as he lay suspended between life and death - until his windpipe suddenly stretched and he snorted blood halfway across the shed. Fur erupted across scarred, stretched and broken flesh, cloaking the monstrosity in a hide of brown and silver. Human cries turned to deep, throaty, moaning breaths as the last of its former flesh sloughed onto the floor. With the stench of piss and fear thick in the air, what was left of Henry dragged itself onto four legs, birthed once more.

It bums me out that there isn't more Paleolithic rock art of cave hyenas, especially considering they were all over the place. So I made some myself.

A mini illustration of a spectral folkloric dog 'black shuck'. The dog is padding down a hillside in a graveyard, it's breath fogging in the air as rain falls. A large bat inspired character perched on a flaming branch. Fire and ash flows upwards from the characters mane, antlers and tail. It brings rebirth in the rain A side profile of a purple, pink and white griffin with blood on it's beak. It's mouth is ajar and a glowing eye pierces the viewer. A coloured sketch of a colourful griffin standing on their hind legs. Wings spread out behind them as they stand ready to face whatever's coming. Their pelt and fur are a range of hues from white, pinks, purples and peach.

Hello!

I'm down in the rural west country, middle of nowhere. Currently working on bringing a passion project to life, a body horror comic anthology set in an otherwise unremarkable UK seaside town. Being set here is not a pivotal plot point (...yet), but the signs are there.

#indiecomics #horror
A monochrome comic panel showing an NHS medical centre. A mostly monochrome comic panel showing man's quite alarming boil-growth talking to him. A mostly monochrome comic panel showing an man from the knees down having a shower. Much red liquid is gurgling down the drain. A monochrome comic panel showing a politician arguing.

Day two of SAORSA being live.

The unknown is always scary, but as usual, when we step into it, we can be surprised by what we find.

The amount of messages, support, and even just curiosity really sat with me last night.

Grateful and excited. The best combination.

Hey I'm Hoggy, I'm from Lancashire, and my passion project is NESH, which is in very early development.

Based in the area I'm from, but after a violent outbreak which lead to a large drop in the population. Jobs are few & far between, now AI threatens the remaining ones. It's queer, & quite gritty.
A comic of Garth and Simon. Garth is short and weedy with pale skin and scruffy blonde hair. He is wearing a worker’s hi-vis waterproof. Simon is tall and well built with short brown hair. He wears glasses and form-fitted, armoured leather bike jacket and trousers. 1: Garth is facing away from the viewer, securing his pedal chopper bike to a rail with a raw metal chain. A speech bubble from someone outside of view says ‘Morning! Great timing’. 2:Garth turns his head and greets Simon with a polite smile and a raise of the hand. He begins to return the greeting ‘mor-…’ 3: ‘nin’’, he finishes. He’s just noticed what Simon’s wearing and is taking a moment to process, his mouth remains a little bit open and he looks flustered, under a thin veil of composure. A cartoon bubble depicts his heart beating suddenly, in a hot pink spark shape. The heart is in a cyan that contrasts the pink, and matches the colour of the usual speech bubbles. 4: Simon is stood over the crouching Garth with the sunrise illuminating him from behind. He’s wearing form-fitting black leathers of the more sporty/track type. He hoists his backpack over his right shoulder, and has his helmet scooped under the other. He has a friendly, neutral smile. ‘I’ll see you inside, yeah?’ He continues his small-talk with Garth. In return Garth becomes more noticeably wavering and fumbles ‘y-yeah. See you leather…leath…’ 5: ‘later…’ Garth finally corrects himself. He flicks his head abruptly to follow the path of Simon as he continues into the direction of the entrance of the converted church, now security office. You bet he’s checking out how Simon’s butt looks in leather pants. 6: Garth slumps his arms over his squatting legs and looks vacant, processing the wave of emotions. A mix of dumbfoundedness and actual fear cover his face now he no longer has to mask it from an audience. He blushes heavily. Artistic impression of his inner thoughts erupt as hot pink waves swirling around his head with sparks of hearts. An illustration of Garth from a bird's eye view, implied from a CCTV camera. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair. He is wearing a black mask over his nose and mouth, headphones, a black and yellow waterproof, black fingerless gloves, grey cargos, and combat boots. He has a black backpack on his back, and his wallet chain swings as he walks. He is striding away from a zebra crossing on a unkept pavement. The paves are cracked, with some bits missing, and a part is repaired with tarmac. Garth raises a displeased V sign at the viewer, a box has his figure highlighted, with a blue box of text, registering that he is an unknown person to the national surveillance system. An illustration of two of the E-Trojan team visiting the Control Room at Deadlock Security. From left to right is Garth, Astrid, and Simon. Garth has pale skin, and scruffy blonde hair. He is wearing a black t-shirt with 'security' written on it, a yellow work lanyard, and a headset with one of the phones off his ear so he can hear the other two whilst still keeping tabs on the chat. Next to him is Astrid the head of E-Trojan, she has pale skin, long wavy dark-blonde hair with purple fringe, facial piercings and is wearing a dark pinafore. She has tattoos on her forearms and wears a watch and wristbands. Finally there is Simon. He has pale skin and short brown hair. He has a goatee and is wearing glasses, a white button-down shirt with a black tie and dark grey suit trousers. The team are sat in a low-lit control room, surrounded by screens, they look to where the door would be, the viewer taking the role of the 'messenger' of the arrival of the no-do-gooders. Simon is resting on his hands, hunched over the desk, he looks ticked off. Astrid is sat on the office chair, with her hands on the keyboard, she looks cold but attentive about the news. Garth is kneeling next to Astrid with his arm resting on the desk, he looks concerned. An illustration of Garth and Simon on their bikes. They both have pale skin, Garth is short and weedy, Simon is tall and bulkier. Garth is on a push bike, not seen on screen. He is leaning into Simon's space with a cheeky grin on his face. He is wearing a worker's hi-vis waterproof coat and black skater helmet. Simon is wearing a black and purple moto helmet with the vison flipped up. He is wearing a padded leather jacket and shoots a look across to Garth. Behind is a rough background of a town high-street with a car behind them, they're waiting at lights. Don't ask why Garth is in the 'overtaking' position over Simon, he's an idiot and will get into an accident. Pink speech bubble from Garth reads: 'OI, KNOB-ED. Race you!'.
