the back cover of the comic, a stylized image of the witch holding the creature as a cat. She is smiling and rubbing her cheek against theirs. They look annoyed but not doing anything to get away, just limp long catting. The text below reads: Thank you for reading! Other comic projects I'm involved in include Daughter of the Lilies (colorist) and Morningstar (currently in the thumbnail/sketch phase). You can find more of my artwork at YokoWeaver.com or find me on Bluesky under the username Yokoboo.

Panel 1: The witch has her back to the reader, inferring a change in direction leading back out of the forest. The creature chats to itself, "It's going to be hard, keeping quiet around others..." Panel 2: the creature contines to talk indistinctly as she continues to heac back out of the forest. transition panels inserted here to indicate a passage of time. Panel 3: The witch sits in her home, changed out of her clothes into a light shift, the creature curled up on her lap as she sits at a window and looks out at the dark night with rain pouring down. The window cover is lifted like an awning to keep the rain out. What herbs she's gathered at hanging to dry just inside the window, and a tea set sits on a tray on the windowsill, steaming and evoking a cozy scene. "Fin" is written in small white text in the bottom right corner. A spacer page featuring the creature in three different forms. First as a small dragon with a bowtie, curled around the brim of the witch's hat. Second as a crow staring angrily down at a sheep they are sitting on. Third as a cat sitting in a large jar, the lid and herbs that were inside scattered around on the floor.

Panel 1: "They don't DESERVE- hm?" The creature is distracted from their thoughts by the witch's outstretched hand. Panel 2: words float on the background, the image itself is focused on the newly wrapped bicep of the creature. [You can't travel with that wound] Panel 3: We see that the Witch is writing into the palm of the creature's uninjured hand, lacking the ability to speak. [Stay until you're healed] Panel 4: The creature is almost amused and jokingly replies, "What about a reward? Should I bring you with me?" Panel 5: She replies, [Your presence is reward enough] and looks away shyly. Panel 6: They are taken aback by this, blushing themself and unable to respond. Panel 1: The witch turns away to attend to and pick up her things. The creature sits contemplative in the background. Panel 2: As the witch pulls on her cloak, the creature transforms into a crow and hops onto her shoulder. "Very well, Thank you for your hospitality." Panel 3: The creature changes again, this time to a can and moves to her other shoulder. "Would you prefer something softer?" Panel 4: a close up as the witch reaches up to gently rub the creature's head.

Panel 1: The magic takes more corporeal shape, twisting and rolling into a scroll-like form. Panel 2: She finishes her cast, a magically infused roll of guaze. She smiles, holding it out to show it to the creature. Panel 3: The creature is taken aback, only able to utter "I..." Panel 4: They Harrumph and say "You may approach." knowing they were in the wrong to consider her a threat, but too proud to apologize. Panel 5: She wraps the wound Panel 6: an extreme close up on the creature's eyes, lookingd downward. Panel 7: from the PoV of the creature, looking down on the witch as she gently ties the gauze in place. Panel 1: A clawed hand, trailing gold magic gently touches her chin. Panel 2: The creature has now transformed into a humanoid, turning the witch's head to the side to get a better look at the scar on her neck. They ask her, "Did THEY do this to you?" Panel 3: She blushes, continuing to look away from the creature. They lean in closer and have let go of her chin. "And you stayed..." they say. Panel 4: The creature bites on their claw, angered. "THOSE-! You need to- You should come with me," they say, implying they understand a bit about how witches are usually treated in the communities they're born in. The witch's head is still turned away, but her eyes have turned back to the creature, something they said drawing her attention.

Panel 1: She reaches forward toward the leg. Panel 2: The black creature erupts from the bushes, now taking on the shape of a snaking black dragon. She covers her ears as they shout at her, "I SAID LEAVE!!", the force of their voice shaking down the rain caught in the forest canopy. Panel 3: The creature is startled as she holds her hands up to stop them. Panel 4: We now see what they see, that her eyes that were black now have a yellow hue in the center of the pupils. Panel 1: The witch opens her mouth and gold magic pours out of it, curving and dripping designs take shape reflecting plants. We also see for the first time that the witch has a scar across her throat, which is also now leaking black and gold. Panel 2: The witch continues to cast her spell, the magic seeking her gathering basket and circling around her. Panel 3: a focus on her hand as the magic starts curling itself into shape.

Panel 1: Her feet quickly move through the grass, rain now beginning to fall in thick drops. Panel 2: She worriedly continues to follow the voice, once more indistinct. Panel 3: She turns, trying to figure out the direction it's coming from, and is not looking where she is going. Panel 4: She drops suddenly. Panel 5: She is getting up, having fallen down a short drop/plateau of dirt. Her hat is fallen off and she is upset or annoyed by this detour. Black smudges can be seen on the ground near her. Panel 1: As she continues to sort herself, the voice reappears, an ellipses in the dialogue balloon as if it has taken notice of the presence of the witch. Panel 2: Her attention is brought to the voice as it demands, "WHO'S THERE!!" Panel 3: The witch stands up fully to see hidden within the bushes a large black entity with many yellow eyes staring at her. It says, "ANOTHER HUNTER? LEAVE!!" Panel 4: The witch stares, stunned. Panel 5: Same shot, only her eyes have turned down to look at something below the eyes. Panel 6: a leg, partially hidden in the brush is bleeding back from a rather serious wound that exposes bone.

The entire page is a splash image, meant to be views top down, with the group in the far background, the men continuing their walk away from the forest laid out before us. The old man continues to shout saying, "It would've eaten MORE if I hadn't shot it!". The witch is featured three times in the splash image, first standing at the entrance to the forest, watching the men, then climbing over a boulder and fallen tree. Third we see her hand in the foreground of the image, lifting roots and ferns into view over overlapping images of fungi, flowers and buckeyes, implying that her trip there is to gather materials from the forest. Panel 1: a wide shot of the witch deep in the woods at the base of a tree. Panel 2: she is looking at a root she just pulled up, satisfied with its condition. Panel 3: She is distracted by a faint noise, like a voice with no distinct words, and turns to identify it. Panel 4: A worm's eye view up at her and the tree canopy as the voice calls for help.

A spacer page (as this comic is designed for print as a zine) depicting the woman from the cover in a chemise peering into an empty jar. Panel 1, the witch is exiting her home, we can see from the background that is is a rural setting in the mountains, and that her home sits quite a ways away from the rest of the community. Panel 2: She turns, taking notice of something. Panel 3: She passes by three people in conversation, walking in the opposite direction of her. An older man says, "It ate TWO of my sheep before I scared it off!". A disbelieving smirking man replies, "Scared it? You?" Panel 4: The smirking man says, "It was probably full." To which the old man shouts back, "FULL!?"

Not sure if I'll finish this for my birthday, but I'm only five pages away from finishing this short comic. If you like witches, nonbinary creatures of magic, and comics, keep an eye out.

If you want to know what I've been up to/what's personally going on for me, also keep an eye out.
A preview of a comic, featuring a full-page splash image of a forest and a witch entering/wandering through as she gathers herbs. Exiting a forest are three men, one of which is shouting as he argues with his companions, "It would've eaten more if I hadn't shot it!" The image itself is set/colored in a duochromatic color gradient, from a pale almost white green to a middling green and to a dark blue/blueblack.

My frustration with Sylvie's bad costume design has brought me to draw what I wanted to see in game. If you're gonna make a "child of the forest" character, make their high tier look a balanced reflection of their abilities and origin. #FellowshipGame
Digital art of Sylvie from the game Fellowship posed on a stump surrounded by vines and mushrooms. She is displayed almost like an action figure on a base, marked with the pattern of her Safe Haven ability. Sylvie is dressed in an alternate version of her high tier armor from the game, only changed to something more balanced and reflective of her origins and abilities. She is wearing cuffs/bracers/sleeves on her calves, forearms and biceps, with a corseted bodice in the same style (dark purple with black metal trim), while underneath we can see cyan leaves as a camisole and a flowing and transparent cyan skirt. Sylvie has her signature fox red mane of hair and bushy tail while sporting a flower bud as an earring. She has a tiara that matches the colors of her outfits and purple moss and cyan mushrooms hang from her antlers. Sylvie also has a viney shoulder armor piece that wraps around her arm, with thorns that match the metal on her dress. On her back is a large pair of butterfly wings in matching colors. Her four pink butterflies and Bluey (a large blue butterfly) surround and fly around her. Sylvie is posed in contra posto, her right leg lifted off the ground as if to leap from the stump, and one arm is half-raised, as if getting ready to cast a healing spell on an ally.

It sure has been a time. Been doing the day job thing for the past two years while plugging along at this little short comic and Morningstar. Morningstar script is still in drafting and editing, and the inks have been finished on this short comic. Finished version coming soon (TM).
