🧵 In honor of The Witcher 3 Remastered and since it’s also October, let me reshare my Witcher themed inktober from 2019! Didn’t get to finish it all, alas, but 7 years later it’s still one of my favorite things I’ve ever done and I always love to look back at it! 1/2

Freddie A. Clark 💀🩸 @faclark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I'm pleased to reveal the cover of MAKING MONSTERS, my grimdark SFF novel and the wildest story I've written so far. The artwork is a breathtaking masterpiece by the one and only @martinabelli.bsky.social who has once again shown that my books and her art are the most perfect match.

A black and red graphic with a hidden artwork as a background. In the middle, the cover of the book MAKING MONSTERS by Freddie A. Clark, depicting a heavily tattooed and blond man with blue eyes, dressed in leather, smoking a cigarette and holding a wooden monster’s severed head. A gun and a kopis are attached to his belt and his arm is affected by argyria, his skin grey-tinted. He walks along a cyberpunk street with writings and blood stains on the wall.

A black and red graphic with a hidden artwork as a background.

Text:

WHO’S THE REAL MONSTER?

Niko Grigg is a Benandante, a monster and demon hunter for hire. Despite his vices and snappy attitude, Niko is the best on the market. The substance he's addicted to triggers his innate abilities as a Nephilim, contributing to his fame as a highly reliable professional.
When the government of Sulphuria hires him to hunt a dangerous creature lurking in the streets of Hellgate, a maximum-security prison gone wild, Niko accepts the mission for its handsome reward.
His target is not what he expected. After their first encounter, the contract reveals its true objective and puts Niko in front of a choice: should he carry out this execution and grab the money, or become an enemy of the state?

Past few weeks threw me so much for a loop due to sudden irl stuff (nothing bad though) that I barely managed to lift up a pencil. It’s been a vicious cycle of not drawing bc I’m too stressed, but all the more stressed because I’m not drawing as much as I should + everything else in the mix 🥴

Ishin comics in 2026

Black and white 3 panel comic. From Like a Dragon: Ishin!, Todo Heisuke (using Tianyou Zhao's model) speaks worriedly to Hijikata Toshizo (using Yoshitaka Mine's model) at the Shinsengumi headquarters.
Panel 1)
Todo: Are you sure it was smart to promote Saito to captain?
Hijikata: Do you doubt my actions?
Panel 2)
Todo: It's just... The third division is a little...
Hijikata: "A little" what?
Panel 3)
We look over their shoulders to see Saito in the yard with a tiger, dog, bear, and chicken that he recruited into the third division. They're wearing Shinsengumi jackets.
Todo: ...Nevermind.
Saito (to the animals): Nice uniforms! Now, let's get you guys some swords.
