Basil + Gideon #4: Fairytale?

 

I love stories about fairies. The combination of mischievousness and selfishness make them very fun characters to work with! Fairy/Fae lore is also super interesting because fairies have their own set of laws that they operate under and if any mortal wants to interact with fairies it has to be by their rules. The concept of a group of people who on one hand are hedonistic and manipulative, but simultaneously are strictly rule driven fascinates me.

Basil + Gideon #3: Spooky Season is Over??

Happy belated Halloween!

I wanted to try my hand at drawing something spooky since I’ve never done anything along the lines of a horror comic before. To do a bit of writerly reflection on the horror genre: to me it seems horror is an exaggerated management of rate of revelation. Horror tends to carefully balance the knowledge afforded to the audience to draw them into the climactic scare at which point the audience understands what they should be scared of and, hopefully, the story is all the scarier for it. What’s worse: the unknown horrors or the horrible truth?
