Welcome to the Fantasy Book Club, where reality-denying liars come to hang out... at least according to Fiona. Hope you enjoy your stay. *note* I am currently in the process of updating some of the art in the first chapter. I'm not redoing everything, just a few panels here and there to be closer to my current style.

For anyone who has worked customer service, or still does... I'm sorry for any flashbacks this may have caused. Also: Bad slime is bad...

There was a girl in school who was constantly checking out the books I wanted to read. If I was on a waiting list it was because of her. For a while there, it was uncertain if we were going to become friends because of it... or enemies. /rant

It's a double update! Since this was originally formatted as a comic book page spread I decided to put this entire segment together. Hope you enjoy!
This illuminated manuscript appears to have a slime problem... I have a mild obsession with 13th-century illustrations so I did a ton of research for these two pages. The way monsters especially were portrayed in them is absolutely fascinating to me.

For those wondering... Yes, I did put a lot of time and effort into designing the Standish house knowing full well I was going to blow it up halfway through the first issue. Did it break my heart? Yes. Was it fun as hell to do? Also, Yes.

Get yourself a friend who when you tell them you have magic powers their response is "Ok, but how work?!?". Drew. Get yourself a friend like Drew.

The mysterious symbol says, no. Stahp. It vastly underestimates what Eremis will do for peace of mind.

For almost half my life I have been wanting to tell this story... And here I am with the first issue done and I don't know what to say.
Thank you for reading. It means so much to me that you are here.
Next week you will be getting a double update! On Wednesday I will post some between issue bonus content and Saturday Issue 2 will begin. I hope you're ready. <3

When you channel the words of a supernatural being and don't know what it was... there is nothing for it but to give it a nickname. So sound off in the comments: Brain Buddy or Prophecy Pal? Or... do you think you know who it actually was?

Fiona incredulously sipping coffee is one of my favorite things I have drawn to date. It gives me joy. Also... Who exactly is interrogating who here?

Eremis REALLY doesn't like not knowing what's going on and Fiona REALLY doesn't like being forced to do anything. Unstoppable force? Meet the immovable object.

This bonus page ended up being a bit more text heavy than I was planning, but I find it really fun to look back on my old art and concepts and see how I've grown. I hope you all enjoyed it as well. Next: Issue 3 - Uncertain Sights

I would say Fiona is grumpy when she wakes up... but she's grumpy all the time.

She has a roundabout way of showing it, but Izzie just really doesn't want anyone to get hurt.

Fiona yelling at library guests is something that has come up before. More than once. Fortunately Ms. Morgan seems to be able to get Fiona to calm down better than most people.

Escort quests are hard when the person you're escorting really doesn't want you around. Drew should also learn to contain his copious note-taking habit.

Oof, this episode was a bit of a beast but I'm so happy with how it came out! Tristan is starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Can't say I blame him, it's certainly been quite a day so far and the next episode is a long-awaited conversation.

This conversation was a long time coming and very poorly timed... Would changing one decision over the past 6 years have made a difference or would they still have ended up at this moment? And where do they go from here?

Episodes with very little dialogue make me nervous. I really like how the art came out but I was a little uncertain if I could convey everything I wanted to with so little dialogue. I think I did ok. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I want to give a quick shout-out to my very good friend, Eric. Working on this episode I was completely stuck. I hated everything I was doing and was falling behind on my schedule. He sat down with me and my Issue 4 script for hours. He got me to feel confident in what I was doing again. Thank you for always being there for me Eric... I really can't express how much your help has meant to me.

I love an episode where Fiona genuinely smiles. Admittedly, this really only happens when she is messing with Tristan and even then her smiles tend to look the tiniest bit unhinged. But it makes me happy when she's happy.
