Borealis

In 1845, two Royal Navy ships and two Aerial Corps dragon crews left England in an attempt to finally discover a navigable passage through the Arctic. In 1847, Captain James Fitzjames struggles to shield his dragon from the fallout of a failing Expedition. In 1849, at a meeting of the Admirals of the Air, Captain James Fitzjames of Her Majesty's Dragon Aurora recounts the events of the disastrous Franklin Expedition to determine if he will be court-martialed for the loss of HMD Ulysses with all hands aboard. The truth lies lost on the ice, somewhere in the middle.

A 6 panel piece for @faerywhimsy who always gives the best prompts ❤

These were inspired obvs by Bacon's "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion" as well as Egon Schiele's illustrations. There's also a panel inspired by a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, can you guess which one?
