death., 1787 pages - Published by Sophie Laurel, (cc/ @SophieLaurel)
Story of wizards living in a northern city called Sybirok and of sisters separated after birth who were destined to meet each other again. This story was made a long long long time ago. But in the digital way I started to draw it in 2016, so don't be scared of the quality of first volumes (there are 14 volumes now, omg). I wanna say a big thank you for help with translation to Sophia Topalova (https://vk.com/sofich_7) and Shada (https://vk.com/wildveterok, https://at.tumblr.com/lone-owl-s-nest/so-i-decided-that-i-will-post-my-comic-let-me/l62vbtmaqmuh)

Inside The Lines, 215 pages - Published by Love, Chaotica, (cc/ @lovechaotica)
January 28, 2003 was the coldest day of that year. It tore the Green family apart and only their 5-year-old son, Rory, survived. Now all that's left for Rory is his uncle, Todd Blue— a young, best-selling author rather unequipped for concepts such as "raising a child." From a world where colors are more than what’s in your eyes. It’s even in your last name! [ This comic contains honest depictions of family trauma. Viewer discretion is advised. ]
