Woo - Christmas week~
So what I'm envisioning this Aegis cuts into the speeding projectile with his aura extending along and past his blade. During the cut, he flares out his aura. Which further places and outward pressure and pushes aside the high speed mass. If you've watched as much slow motion bullet videos as I have in the past week,...
Ambient mana infuses everything and the anti-magic in Aegis' blade tears apart mana before his blade even reaches the solid stone. So objects are torn apart even before his blade reaches them. Even more so for the rich mana bindings the Prisoner has placed on and seeped into the stone projectile in order to throw that mass at such speeds.
I took a little break from my schedule and did an art share with BlindWildCat, the creator of Chains of Flesh! The comic also features a powerful creature steeped in sex magic [and a bit of necrophilia.] Posts are on @blindwildcat.bsky.social.
They're rendition of Insight is amazing. I think this is the first time someone drew one of my ...
Epic moments. The beauty in comics is that anything is possible. There are no budgets, no gatekeepers, and a team of people to be concerned with. Just giant slabs carved from the cave floor and chucked at impossible speeds at a Custodian named purely for his ability to protect others.
This Wednesday I'll be posting an ar...
Channeling my inner One Punch Man for these fight scenes. Fucking love the first season. In awe of the manga and the artist Murata. And absolutely adore the shitty webcomic that serves as the blueprint for the entire series by the create 'ONE.' Wonderful work. I've seen art videos where Murata completes and entire page in less than an hour. He c...

And... this is the end of it. Now this doesn't mean work on this series is over. There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done before these characters are up for a vote. The black bars will require dialog, narrative text, and a description of what the winning the vote will mean. All of which has yet to be written and created.
In...
Happy Monday.
Almost 500 pages. The Necromancer pages count as 25. The revision pages are several more. I've reached past a goal I had since I heard of it in college. And it doesn't feel like it counts until this number in this post's heading matches the goal. 31 more pages to go...
Fights like these are supposed to move quickly on...
Made it in time!
Not entirely happy with what the Prisoner is trying to say here. It came across but the notion is that having a void bubble sacrifices the ability to fuck with reality. Magic can do anything. And Aegis gave it up for the sake of being protected in a tiny bubble. The Prisoner might've said something like 'not having magic ...
Hybrids! The world of Warden has a number of animal human hybrids living in the plains and savannahs. They are tribal in culture and often hire themselves out as mercenaries.
I believe this is the first time I've mentioned a hyperbaric mana chamber. These are a contained space where concentrations of high mana can be artificially in...
![Warden Page 465 [revised] + 466-467](https://img5.samukata.com/storage/10/sl/of/4e9b88-019e857b-adbc-76d6-9f20-c1b4828a8098.jpg)
The previous page's dialog has been altered. It captures the mood and message of the original but it just flows better. As if the Prisoner is playing a villain rather than a school teacher. Thanks to everyone who helped in the revisions.
I believe there have been a few comments on why the Prisoner is not just going to throw a few rocks. W...
The Prisoner loves to monologue... he is older than everyone in this room. And still he is not worried. There will be a full page spread on Monday. I'll need to get back to it right away.
Just a reminder to new folks - these links below hold the entire body of my work as well as links to the WIP pictures

Happy Turkey Day - I'm sorry for barging into your holiday or normal Thursday for everyone outside of the US. But I bring a gift of an image of a feast!
The goblins have done it again. This time, they snuck a Djinn to this world. A true creature of pure magic, one which cannot survive on this planet without her urn. She can only take form...
These pages... they are consistently coming out burning right off the presses... [gremlin noises] - The work must be completed days in advance in order to be on time...
In the comic - you can see that Crusher and Aegis were not friends. Crusher was always the type to rub some people the wrong way.
Just a reminder to new folks - the...
I love how these pages are coming out. The next two pages I'm working on are turning out great and I'm looking forward to the next two pages I haven't even started. There's this anticipation on seeing what's coming with the next page when I ask myself, what would make this more...
See you guys soon.

Dryads are one of the races I plan on putting into the next book! It'll be up for a vote to see a dryad will be a minor character.
In Warden-verse, Dryads were originally a variety of predator of humanity and often had a antagonistic relationship. Now, many types of Dryads are completely domesticated or so they'd like you to think. Dryads...
Still working to the last minute!
I will always feel the lack of not working 10 pages ahead of my patron releases... Grrrr.....
Everything is on track - there'll be a lore page out on Wednesday. 463 has not been completed and will come out on Friday. Deadlines will be met. I'll make damn sure 464 comes out on time as well....
Barely made it in time!
As you can see, what I've done today is redrew a few of the panels and added clarifying text. After speaking with one of my beta readers, we went back and planned the battle in more detail. The changes are much stronger and more impactful and well worth the extra hours. Some of these include: drawing out a battle m...
Changelings or a D&D Doppleganger.
This race will also be featured in a future entry in the Lore series.
So the goblin shot a dart into the changeling's shoulder, reverting her back into her normal form. So our little goblin champion gets around. In the text, she's going to refer to the changeling as having been trained...
Thought Boxes! I should use these more often. The internal dialog makes Warden more active presence, which is hard to do when she's so limited. In actually - all she is really doing is wiggling harder.
Moving on - the commission there will be on Wednesday as planned, with another lore page the week after. The comic will need to have...
Hot off the presses again.
I'm mostly drawing these week by week and trying to catch up with the backlog. I'm not currently working in stages where 10 comic pages are being slowly pushed forward each day.
So what's going on here? The Prisoner is receiving blow back from his own magic being reflected off of Aegis' aura and shield. H...
Kobolds!!! The cute, irascible, scamps with a sense of danger.
Kobolds have already had a rebellion against their Dragon overlords and settled on the Thousand Travelers. On the world of Warden, they've entrenched themselves as traders and miners, creating vast kingdoms as they squabble over their deep territories with themselves and with ...
New comic page! - As you can see I made a few adjustments to page 458 - I included a cape of mana tendrils! The Prisoner was starting to form one at the end of Chapter 5. I thought of having it create clothes for himself and started messing around with it.
Then I realized I was giving clothes as if he had a Japanese magical girl tra...
Rawr! Instead of doing revisions for Chapter 2 - we are continuing the story! YAY!
I just finished this page. It is coming in hot!
Aegis and the army vs Prisoner and his Hounds!
Quick note - you may have noticed that Aegis is being drawn without any painting. He is pure black and white. This has to do with his powers. A...
And the last 4 images of Kinktober! 31 entries and 71.5 hours its been completed. whew!
28 Alien
29 Ship
30 Mobile
31 Possessed
These are coming in just hot off the digital presses! On your screen at the speed of lightning!
TheRealKman has commissioned 2 images of Whisper. One a wholesome picture of farm girl Whisper, and the other - a more traditional RealKman image featuring a scene from the comic itself. Both came out really well. I'm proud of both of the...
Everyone's favorite short stacks!
So, the goblins might know about the true history of the universe at large. They might even have several contraband like data slates and star charts. If they survived the thousands of years after colonization.
What's more is that this hints into the powers of the universe at large. Creating a...
More images - these are getting better and better as they go. Some are actually something I want to make full paintings out of. 26 in particular seemed to be something Twitter got a kick out of.
21 Twist
22 Isolation
23 Stuck
24 Lure
25 Hose
26 Display
27 Hunt
I've posted both versions of these pages. And there are only minor changes on Page 1 Panel 2, Page 2 Panel 3, and Page 3 Panel 2, 3, and 5. Mostly these changes were adjustments for skull shapes, expressions, and replacing bad art. During the time I was first creating this comic, I was making 4 pages a week so the quality of a few pages were not...

What was Princess Altagracia doing before sitting in her dressing room? She was returning from a wartime parade. Of course the real rulers couldn't be bothered so they would send out their living descendants to act out their role as celebrities. It's made as if it is a woman's fashion magazine with a bored supermodel decked in opulence looking i...

Giants!!
Giants are one of the more broken races in this world. The different races are not equal. A human will not be able to be as powerful as a Giant as an empowered warrior. A normal human will never be strong as a Giant just by working out.
Of course there are ways around this. Training enables a person to reach their fu...
