Hey everyone! I’m Danae (or Rycila for those who know me by my pen name) First things first, welcome to my page! I hope you stick around for a few moments :D

- I would like to make it very clear, Broken Halo has not been released yet! Think of this as the concept/teasers channel for the story. It is going through its last round of edits from my editors/beta readers and I will begin illustrating it soon. (Hopefully this July/August)

- I am the only artist for the story, so please be patient! This is my passion project and it will be a webcomic while it’s in progress (and hopefully printed one day too!)

- Feel free to ask any questions, I don’t bite :3 the only think I ask is please don’t ask me about the stories details (spoilers) I won’t answer, you’ll just have to read it when pages are released.

*Image and blurb may be updated in the future!

A stolen crown on the day of his coronation thrusts the prince into a life threatening search for his crown and its thief. Raden, foretold to be the savior of his people, now battles to stay alive in a land overcome by an ancient curse, the same curse he’s destined to destroy. But the curse hides more than monsters and beasts as he struggles to accept the unburied secrets that have kept his family in power for ages. Will he be lost and taken by the forest or can he make it back with his stolen crown, his Broken Halo?

Here’s a little snippet of my process behind my pages! While this isn’t a complete page, this follows the exact style and process for the pages!

Here is a dump of a bunch of style concepts I made for the comic, using my boy Acer to practice with! I made these probably in January when I had a ridiculous amount of motivation to draw concept art.

Ironically, none of them ended up making it into the final Art when I began working on demo pages. They ended up being a pain to color consistently without spending a LOT of time of them, so I went with a more simple, but loose style (like this one)

This was when I originally called the series Broken Crown, but after I realized there was already a popular comic by that name, I did some reevaluating and ended up with Broken Halo, which ended up fitting much better! Along with that, this is one of the very first concepts I did!

I’ve been doing quite a bit of drawing to narrow down the art style and I think I’ve gotten close. I love the sketched and loose style, but it’s a pain to color in a timely way, so this is the closest I’ve gotten and I think I ended up liking it better than the original drafts!
