Only 3 days left, and needs $1k to fund! Who can help share and back with me, to get this closer to the goal?

Pages are gorgeous and love the sci-fi horror mood here! Reminds me of #Alien and #Solaris, it looks awesome!

A really fun fantasy adventure, focusing on a group of three character (A thief, dark elf, and mage) as they travel and survive, and learn a dark secret from one of their comrades. o.o

Hello? Mal? HelloOoOo?
Oh yes, he just finished the FREE 40pg preview of The Wretched, and is wondering when the hell that Kickstarter for the rest of Book 1 will launch.

Hoping it'll be mid-Spring/Early Summer! Links to follow and read the free 40pg preview here! linktr.ee/fracturedhea...

Realized I've been overworking myself and getting burned out.
So, now finding a way to slow things down for myself by not having too much in a day that I feel like I should be juggling at once.
Being an indie creator is tough biz, so have to understand my limits better so I won't get drained. 😩💪

New, and final, cover for my #comic, The Wretched. It's a wraparound cover, with the left side being the back cover, and the right side being the front. "Mirror' images. 😊

What do you think? 👀

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

Thankful for important family, friends, fellow comic creators who helped me on this journey. Music, video games, writing, etc that helps me each year.

Holiday or not, find ways to enjoy your day.
Do something or be with someone that makes you happy. ❤️
