so my partner keeps getting spam bot messages on facebook, and they decided to entertain themself by responding in long noir detective monologues. i decided it needed an audio drama version.

i have no idea how to tag this. i'm dumping it into the tumblr ocean and it will swim with the currents, godspeed

I wonder which specific movies or TV shows Zane watched to base his detective persona on. I hope one of them was Johnny Staccato

The Cold Ever After

Hello Tumblr, I have realized that I have been very bad at tumblr because I have a new graphic novel coming out next month! And it's queer fantasy! And I've barely even mentioned it on tumblr! What am I doing?! So, with no more ado: Meet "The Cold Ever After"

Now, unlike a lot of my books, this one is not for kids. This book has sex, nudity, gore, and violence. And drinking. And witchcraft. Basically everything your grandparents warned you about in comics.

Here's the back cover, it has an explanation of what the book is about and it goes exceptionally hard (I think).

If you can't read the image or just don't want to, here's a quick breakdown.

Noelani was selected at a young age to be the champion of Patria Lupi. She went through extensive and brutal training to be the knight that her kingdom could send on even the hardest errands. And she was very good at it. So good, in fact, that when she was nineteen she was sent to rescue the Queen-to-be, Isadora, whose castle was attacked by a dragon. She saved the Queen-to-be, but there was one problem: she also fell for her. Hard.

When the royal marriage turned out to be loveless, the queen began a torrid affair with Noelani. Noelani was basically the second parent to the princess for the first several years of her life. Until, one day, the church got wind of the affair and gave the queen the option of being exposed or exiling Noelani.

It's been fifteen years since Noelani was sent away and today the Queen has arrived at her island with a quest she only trusts Noelani with: The princess has gone missing the night before her wedding and if she isn't found in the next seven days, her fiancé is going to burn Patria Lupi to the ground. Only Noelani can save her daughter and find out what's really happening in the kingdom and she's only got seven days to do it. And somehow, she has to avoid being dragged into falling in love with the queen all over again.

I've been calling it a queer Arthurian noir and I can't wait for you all to get a chance to check it out! All likes and reblogs would be very much appreciated!

Here are a few preview pages of the first chapter!

I’m here to bring you food!

My latest thing has been noir and Dobermanns so I of course applied them to a school assignment and I think it turned out alright!

I tried drawing only with the polygon and line tools and it was quite freeing. Turned out very neat and tidy I think.

Hopefully y’all’s don’t starve while I’m drowning in schoolwork, I’m really trying to keep you nourished as you know.

The Cold Ever After is out today from Titan comics! Written by Jeremy Whitley with art my Megan Huang and letters by Taylor Esposito!

It's one part Arthurian romance, one part noir detective story, and one part queer love story! What more could you want? Action? Fighting? Oh, there's plenty of that!

Come for the love and mystery. Stay for the bloody violence and anti-imperialism!
