The Secret Knots

Work notes: I’m past the hardest point in the comic, a landscape scene with a complex and very skewed perspective. It’s the Secret Knots version of a splash panel I guess, and it took several hours, but I’m very fond of the optical effect. Every time I draw buildings, I think about Spiderman artists, inking brick by brick (when it’s not automated in some way). Perhaps I’m thinking about comic artists of old, I haven’t checked out how what’s the canon on cityscapes in superhero comics lately.

There was no Patreon post this week, but I’ll be posting half of the comic in progress during the week, for patrons. It seems like a satisfactory chunk of this weird and explosive story to share.

I can’t stress enough how I love these horror magazines covers. (Today’s drawing is based on one). Thanks to Gyrgir for finding out this is a series from Japanese Publisher Hibari Shobo. (The Kaidan series, I believe).
