I've been busting my ass making a new indie comic about a savage, dark fantasy, sword and sorcery comic -BUT everyone in this world is FRUIT. FUCK AI, I'm doing everything on my own and goddamn it's cathartic to problem solve in art and writing without generative theft -who knew!

STRAWBARIAN SYNOPSIS [FULL] 🍓⚔️🍌 Working on first issue now after publishers got scared of my fruity gushers-like "gore" and going indie to secure my vision in the narrative. I want to introduce familiar concepts and give you a savage world with a "fresh" twist 🍇

The past year I started to create a puppet of my main villain, The Yellow Crescent, from my upcoming Strawbarian comic! Still fixing up the rest of the body and learning a lot about the craft. Plus I launched a new "fresh" and official Strawbarian page here: @strawbarian.bsky.social
