Getting pages from the book and let me tell you, its looking gorgeous. @dakeus.bsky.social is creating something truly special. Be on the look out for the work of Victorian mystery and unearthly passion.

But beware, the past is a Vindictive Beast.

First peek at Carnelian, a comic book written by Caspian Darke that I will be drawing 🥀

Inspired by Bloodborne and Sleepy Hollow, Carnelian is a gothic fairytale and horror mistery. It follows a paranormal detective as he tries to find the culprit of a series of dreadful murders
A black wolf man and a white bear young girl stand with their back to the viewer, holding hands. They're looking at a castle in the distance. The building is surrounded by high sea waves and clous, behind it there is a full moon. The picture is a shattered mirror, inside the moon there is a crack and behind it peeks a red eye.
