Big news from one of our distributors last night. Philbo Publishing & Distribution will now add a POD service. A big win for indie creators, and an added road to publishing for DFP.
Currently soliciting Wülf Girlz through Philbo with more to come.

The Mongol’s lips curled back over his sharp, yellowed teeth and a throaty growl emerged from his throat as he took a step towards the young bear, only Hope moved to block access. At first the Mongol looked quizzically at her, and then he understood.

A new headshot I created for Chadhiyana, both for reference and as requested by John at A Kid and A Comic.
I used a smidge of references to at least give her an accurate facial structure to the way I envision her.

"Actually,” Came Grace’s young girl voice from behind the Mongol. The men turned to see both girls standing with plates of food. “Perhaps, given enough time, you might be good enough to run with us.” ~ from Robert J. Sodaro's Taste the Moon

Lots of werewolves on my end lately: publishing, art-wise, and maybe story developments?
This was a commission. Not sure it fit the "sexy werewolf girl" theme, but I think of were-creatures beastial rather than sensual anyway.

Of all the depictions I've made of Chadhiyana, this one might be my favourite. The colours, the movement, the texture in the paints.
I have more I'm working on and stories too, in addition to A Kid and A Comic.
Now available as an 11"x17" print.

"...even though she knew that simply couldn’t be true. Why couldn’t she remember, she was with Hope and Papa Jacques by the campfire. Then there was

“Truly, brother Jacques, in all my days on this Earth, I’ve never experienced a pair of wülflings so attuned to the rhythms of the Moon or with each other. Tudor them well, my brother, and they will well enhance the story of the People.”

Chadhiyana as she first appeared in A Kid and A Comic back in the beginning of 2024. Has it been that long already? Two stories in and more exclusives to come.
I still love this depiction of her.

A great loss for independent and creator-owned comics this week with Mike Richardson being let go as CEO of Dark Horse Comics.
Though the "Dark" in Dark Horse did not inspire our name, the spirit of what Dark Horse was doing (and hopefully will continue to do) did inspire us.
"The story was that horrific to me. It was my story, but it frightened me. It was the tale of a pair of children out in the world (presumably) unprotected from the terrifying monsters that occupy the world around them." ~from Robert Sodaro's Taste the Moon
