I've had mine in my head since I was a teenager. I used to lose myself telling stories with them to escape shitty things going on in my life. I always wanted to do something with them, and I finally managed to start getting the comic out properly over the past year. How has your story influenced your life?

Here's mine!

I update on the 9th and 29th every month.

Name: Pact of the Eidolon
Genre: Dark fantasy, psychological horror, ensemble cast, lgbt

Dylan ‘Didi’ Kelly spent his adolescence in a secure psychiatric hospital after killing his father as a boy. Now a young man and recently transferred to a new hospital, his childhood friends and former co-inpatients soon find his new residence—and waste no time in breaking Didi out.

However, they barely get to enjoy their newfound freedom for five minutes before they’re falling into a mysterious pool in the forest. They are taken on a journey through their dark pasts, discovering not only the truth about the cult they grew up in, but also the mystical significance of the pact they made to escape it, and what it means for the future—their own, and that of the world itself.

Three childhood friends get separated while on a trip to a big city, their upbringings and luck makes them end up facing different challenges to survive the metropolitan life; but in World Princess Wanted survival means more than fighting and hiding from monsters.

Basically wrote out my story while I was abroad teaching in Japan. I had a funny idea where the main protagonist wasn't the hero from another world destined to save it. It came inspired by how every time I play in a D&D game, my good intentioned character ends up finding ways to irreversibly mess up the world.

An intelesteral oddysey across the cosmos beckons only the gifted and the young of earth, as promised by our visitors from space, the architects. Will you stand alongside them in pursuit of their ambitious goals for the universe?

Once upon a time, back in ye olde 2010's, there was an MMORPG called Spiral Knights. As a kid, I loved it so much, I started coming up with ideas for what the story was since, as far as I could tell, there wasn't one! It got one, eventually, but it was shallow and never finished, and to this day (over a decade later!) I've been coming up with a compelling story on my own.

It's a long story I plan to tell over multiple books. I wrote a short intro a few years ago, but to get to one of my favorite parts from the planning stage, I've now jumped straight into what would be book 3. So far, I've been told it's easy enough to follow despite picking up in the middle, so I'd appreciate anyone checking it out:

@destroyingangel Your art is awesome, been also going for a gross- looking action horror with dark fantasy, psychological and gay themes.
I'll check it out! Keep it up!

The story's story is that it started as a videogame Idea, inspired by having virus many years ago
As a fan of RPGS, Fighting Games I imagined, what if your virus gave you super abilities instead of headache, sore throat and fever?
And as a fan of zombie horror and action horror games:
As people jokingly say 'Hey! Keep your virus to yourself', thought, what if spreading your virus had horrifying consequences? Others transform into zombie like creatures before your eyes (in seconds), you feel guilt for accidentally spreading your flu, but now you're on the menu!

You're left with using those super symptoms to fight for survival, and rescue others from those already infected, without infecting them too!

(While the covid outbreak was a sad time for all of us, 'social distance', 'taking precautions' and 'asymptomatic carrier' further helped shape the laws of the fictional virus/powers. The lockdown and not having to go to my day job gave me time to develop and launch the comic. )

Evan's powers (below) was inspired by excess mucus, always annoying having to run to the bathroom to spit that out lol In his case, he could transform his into swords and sticky traps. Imagined him being like a gross version of a RPG light swordsman. Also inspired by frequency and states of matter (Evan based on Solids, his brother based on Gas and so on..).

COMIC SUMMARY

What came out of this was the story of two brothers who contract a bizarre condition, anyone who makes contact with them instantly mutate into monsters. They unwillingly start an outbreak and their hopes to reunite with family seems unlikely. Their only method of survival are side effects that come with their condition based on states of matter. Evan the big bro can solidify his saliva into various melee weapons. Owen the younger can transform into gas. Meanwhile a madman rises to spin the situation into a grisly game!

On my own it easier to handle as a comic, enjoy storyboarding and narrative, so that made it easier choice. I'm still fairly new to comics, enjoying the process and learning as I go.

Upfront there's 3 arcs
- A 'forbidden' love between a noble nerd and a boy whos kind is all but illegal in the Great City, while they figure out why the city is being attacked
- The Princess of Summer Fey is missing, and left behind a door open for chaos
- a thief is trying to get home

What it's really about

The god of games got bored and decided to unearth an ancient heirloom that promises its finder the rule of the land of Evira

This has been in the works for a year and a half but the story had been in mind for like... 4 years?

Love D&D-based stories! Mine is basically a novelized version of my campaigns story!

Trespasser

On the surface Trespasser is about a badass girl journeying through the lands, beating up deranged machines and fighting against dangerous beasts, alongside her best friend Zack and their robot Blip.

But deeper than that, it's a coming of age story, where my two heroes will have to deal with the mistakes of the past and learn to process their psychological wounds, figure out who they are as people and what they mean to eachother.

A new episode comes out tomorrow, so be sure to check it out!

My story was borne out of my random bouts of sadness that I decided to put into words. I kept having this picture in my head of a sunset, and there's cobblestones, and there's a woman on a balcony having tea and reading newspaper. And then there's someone walking a dog on below her. So I started writing about it in a poem. Then it turned into a whole story. I did not expect it to turn into something grander than what I could ever imagine back then. I did not expect to be so proud of it now. Now, when I feel something, I try to write it, and it always turns into something beautiful and meaningful :))

So tomorrow, Chasing Grief starts its final part. Her long-awaited reconciliation with her heart shall take place, and he shall settle his remaining scores in life. So please look forward to this emotional conclusion to my story, Chasing Grief <3

Chasing Grief is a story in poetry form that tells the story of a woman who lost her love and tries to navigate her feelings of grief and loss by going through life, death, and everything in between. In her adventure, she seeks answers to all her questions so as to maybe reconcile with her heart. This poetic adventure is filled with imagery, emotions, and feelings that tug at your heartstrings to make you feel all that she feels. I hope you look forward to the conclusion of my story and support it! <3

Flint Walker is an adventure/mystery comics, with plenty of laughs along the way. The story takes place in the late 1800's and follows Flint who has recently become the Marshal over the most dangerous territory in the United States. Flint and his deputy Jack Obes come across many different kinds of people on their many adventures, and do their best to bring law and order to the small towns that are under their care.

Made mine like I do with many plots I had laying around and finally jumped the leap over covid to write the story to warm my fingers up to writing again. I wanted to write a quick story how my characters met before the current story. (I haven't made those stories yet)
