Wow! Hi new followers! I’m Kenz, I’m a professional haunt performer & I’m currently making a horror-comedy comic series called Fossilized. My story deals with themes of existentialism, escapism, & humanity. If you like paleontology, monsters, gore, & nuanced morally-crooked characters, welcome!
Nergal, an anthropomorphic adalatherium with a raptor skull hat on, sits on a dilapidated throne made of black stone on top of an ancient temple. He has a malicious grin and white eyes. He is twirling a cup filled with a strange brownish liquid. Icky, a misanthropic large grey anthropomorphic squirrel, holds a shotgun as he’s backed against the wall. Fire light glows against him as wears an expression of intense paranoia on his face. There is text that reads “there’s a caveman in the walls” around him. Mushhush, a large, toothy, multi-armed mammalian worm-like monster that Nergal stretches into, roars angrily into the sky as he is skewered with many crude spears and arrows. A fiery meteor swirls above him. Geshtu, a blue anthropomorphic Cronopio Dentiacutis, who has red markings smeared around his eyes, hands, and tail, holds a tektite dagger in one hand and a blood stained bowl in the other. It is almost as if he is offering it to the audience. His white eyes leak upwards and into the moon above as its light shines on him.

A little mini Mishap comic~ Visits from the God of Misfortune are always fun~ #comic #webcomic #fossilized #fossilizedtales #art #artistsofbluesky
A six panel comic titled “Give Me a Break!!”. Panel one shows Icky, an anthropomorphic squirrel character with a bowler hat and waders on, trudges through a lovely field angrily. Panel two shows Icky spotting a $20 bill lying on the ground. Panel three has icky contemplating about picking up the $20 bill, saying “$20? Could it be? Ah mean… ‘at’s good whisky money…” Panel four has him bending over to pick it up, smugly smiling to himself and saying “Huh huh…well, finduhs keepuhs…huh huh huh~” Panel five is you hear a snap offscreen and then a large crack behind him. He looks shocked. 6th panel shows Nergal, a prehistoric god of bad luck wearing a Dino skull hat, hiding in a bush in the foreground, with his hand in a post snapping position. He has a wide toothy grin on his face and his eyes are completely white. In the background you see that Icky was on the edge of a cliff that has no broken off, causing him to fall off the cliff to his doom.

Art of dark woods with dead trees, moonlight shining between them. Under the moon is the silhouette of a small impish creature with glowing white eyes staring directly at you.

Cave painting of Geshtu with one hand raised to the moon, the other holding a dish under it. The moon, Theia, looks like an ammonite and blood is draining from it and into the bowl.

Nergal, Dumuzi, and Geshtu under a full moon and hidden under the brush of a prehistoric forest. Nergal looks nervous while clutching a spear, Dumuzi looks frightened, and Geshtu is hissing angrily with his teeth bared.

Bust of Geshtu, eyes gazed upwards and white, with the moon beaming from behind, backlighting him.

Seeing comic artists try to be art influencers on social media is so tragic because comics take effort on the part of the viewer to enjoy (reading) and aren't as instantly captivating as videos/animation.

Four shots over the course of four minutes as the moon rises over a hill.

98% illuminated waxing gibbous phase. Full Super Cold #moon tomorrow. There is a tiny bit of crater detail along the lower edge seen in #3, #4 at the shadow line. Tomorrow that will move to the top. Seen from San Diego county

I need to find the drive to work on my passion project again…I fear my burnout may have reached its peak & it’s going to take me more time than I’d like to recover. I’m still passionate about it, but I can’t seem to convert that passion into motivation & drive to draw lately. This is NOT normal 😭

Easing back into drawing slowly. Gonna be a bit before I get back to full strength. But I had a slight wake-up call about what I want out of my art and I’m going to pursue that.

I really cannot keep up with internet cultures and trends. It moves too fast for me. When I get back I wanna work on spending more time actually creating than wasting all my time on the futile effort of being noticed.
Feeling a sense of crushing melancholy whenever I try to find “success” online.

Due to working two jobs & planning a wedding atm, I haven’t been able to work much on Fossilized despite wanting to so so very badly. But at least I can make quick scribbles in the rare windows of time I get. The trio all have their own feelings about this lack of activity #doodle #fossilizedtales
Ball point pen doodles on lined mini notebook paper. It looks really bad and sloppy. First one is Geshtu calmly saying “Patience. You will be back to it all soon. For now, be kind to yourself.” Nergal is sobbing and fighting against chains while screaming “DRAW ME DRAW ME DRAW ME! LET ME OUUUUT!” And Dumuzi is under him hanging by her roots as she does, looking exhausted and murmuring “Take your time. I literally do not care.”
