Summoned an intelligent little guy last session! It decided to play stupid games and won a stupid prize!
A collection of short comics based on the adventures of the author's Dungeons and Dragons character, Casimir. Includes 100+ pages of comic c
Unable to have a child of their own, a young couple goes to an extra-planar being for help. They get their wish, but not in the way they expected.
Eldritch Anthology is a collection of short, loosely related comics that follow the story of Casimir Czarn, a warlock in my group's Curse of Strahd campaign. This collection includes over 100 pages of art and story, all for $5!
Version 2 Update!
Hey, everyone! This collection of comics has been updated to include over 40 pages of new content! If you're previously purchased Eldritch Anthology, these new pages are yours for free. If you haven't purchased it yet, good news-- the price is still $5! That's less than 5 cents a page!
Eldritch Anthology is a chronological collection of all the short comics I've posted here. The story follows Casimir Czarn, a warlock of Zhudun, as he travels through Barovia. All the comics included in this purchase are available on my blog for free, but this is the only place you can see all the pages in order with bonus annotations!
There are over 100 pages of art and story in this bad boy.
If you enjoy my work, please consider picking this up this holiday season. Not only do you get a lot of cool art, you're supporting an independent artist's passion project! All additional comics will be added to this collection for free, meaning you'll get all of the additional content I create moving forward for no additional cost.
Have a great holiday season, everyone! :)
Cas and Nimir learn something about their mutual patron on a short excursion to get a coupla’ dragon bones from the void of The Sacrifice Pit.
This is the “find out” part of the “fuck around” comic I posted a few weeks ago:
Turns out, power like that IS free! For the low price of willingly walking into the sacrifice pit, you too could have your warlock levels stolen by a 16 year old!
Whoops.
This is a dumb one, but one of the NPC’s in the party is pretty sure that Casimir, my Warlock, is sacrificing things to the gate created by the spell Hunger of Hadar.
In reality, he’s just throwing stuff into the pit to see what happens.
As one does.
Just throwin' some stuff into the pit.
A little illustration of a recent moment from our Curse of Strahd campaign. Cas’s mom seemed pretty well adjusted for a bit, but… it only lasted so long. Simon’s been featured in a few comics so far, but if you’re seeing this little series for the first time or maybe just forgot who he is, he’s Cas (and his sister’s) guardian. He’s been looking after Cas since he was separated from his family 8 years ago.
(Cas’s 16, for anyone unclear!)
Casimir finds his parents in Barovia.
Do the other players in your game know about cas's origins as the blob boy? Was it a suprise to them when he was resurrected as a monster or just a suprise to their characters?
The first hint that ANY of us had that Casimir might not be entirely human was about 5-6 sessions in. My DM (who I've played with for about five years now) is a great storyteller, and I always trust her to play with the backstories I send.
If you've seen a lot of Cas's art, you might've noticed he's got a strange accessory-- a glass lens.
He used to use it whenever he saw aberrations to check whether or not they were actually "there". Before coming to Barovia, it helped him stay grounded in his day-to-day life, but since arriving in Strahd's domain it's gotten a lot more practical use. The way it works is simple:
When you look at the real world through the lens, it blurs and distorts the subject as you would expect a lens to do.
When you look at something that's not really there (an aberration enjoying a brief jaunt through the ethereal, for example), the subject stays crystal clear.
Early on in the campaign, our party's cleric-- Tao-- was struggling with hearing and seeing things that he thought couldn't possibly be real. Casimir offered to let Tao borrow the lens and check to see if what he was looking at was a hallucination, and when he glanced back at Casimir, well...
He stayed crystal clear.
Tao didn't bring it up in earnest for a long time, instead trying to use spells like Detect Good and Evil to discern exactly what was going on with Casimir (at this point, Tao and Casimir barely knew each-other, and there are plenty of deceptive monsters in Barovia), but eventually came to the conclusion that Casimir didn't have any ill intent. He was just a little... weird. Detect Good and Evil revealed that Casimir was both undead and an aberration, which generally left Tao with more questions than answers.
This revelation was swept to the wayside as Tao was forced to face his own problems-- false gods, crises of faith, a soul sucking plague... but that's a story for a different post!
Fast forward an arc or so and we catch back up with the present. Of the party (consisting of Ireena, Izmark, Nimir (Kasimir in the module), Van Richten, Ezmerelda, Tao (PC), Borovoj (PC) and Casimir (PC)), only three had any inkling that Casimir had something unusual going on: Tao, Borovoj, and Ireena, who's been with the group since the beginning. Everyone in the group knows the spells that he casts are strange...
But given how helpful those spells are, most of the group doesn't pay it much mind. Unfortunately, after last session, there's not a lot of room to ignore just how strange Casimir is. The players (including myself!) suspected something like it might happen, but the moment he came back up confirmed it for us. As for player characters: Tao did his best to help; of everyone in the group, he's the one who's suspected something the longest. Borovoj didn't actually see it, I don't think. Van Richten, Ezmerelda, and Izmark had no idea. We haven't seen the fallout yet, but it was probably pretty jarring for them.
Nimir, who's kind of the resident expert on aberrations, tried to preform some type of ritual as soon as Cas kicked the bucket. Van Richten thwacked him and broke his concentration mid-spell (fortunately).
Casimir, who remembers nothing about this incident but has seen ample evidence to support that something weird is going on, is doing his best to reaffirm that he is just a lil' human person. Which... he might be. There's some weird stuff going on with the Ethereal plane, and we've only scratched the surface of finding out why Casimir is the way he is. I'll keep y'all updated, though!
Teen Blob.
A follow up to all this!
Casimir gets killed, but comes back scarier. Tao talks to Van Richten about his opinion on monsters.
New dnd character portrait!

I finally finished this, and I’m still not sure I’m happy with it, but here’s the second part of how my Warlock got his cool eye. It was terrifying. As fun as the campaign is, it’s easy to forget it’s horror-focused!Â
Jenny, the hag, had been nothing but amicable towards our party up until this point; in fact, she was one of the few natives of Barovia that Casimir thought might actually be nice! She offered us so many wonderful things, usually at a fair price. When it came to his eye, unfortunately, the price was the pain. :(Â
Ouch.
The meeting with the Hag that gave my warlock his new eye! Part 1.
Ft. Borovoj, the Ancestral Path Barbarian who sometimes asks their past lives for advice! Sometimes their past lives— like Valentine— take the wheel.
Casimir meets a hag and makes a deal.
Another moment from campaign. Cas tried some strange resurrection magic (that failed) and one of our party members compared what he’d done to how a wizard they met was dissolving his servants with a botched teleportation circle.
(The ghostly woman is a “past life” of the PC with the hat- she’s a mom type, and she really likes Cas!)
Heart-to-hearts with Borivoj (and Kala, one of the many past lives that still hangs around in their head.)
Content from in-campaign! Von Richten, a monster hunter who lost his son, is kind of mentoring my Warlock Cas, who lost his father. Esmerelda, the tiefling here, was Von Richten’s apprentice until the two had a major falling out; in the 13 years Von Richten traveled with Esmerelda, he never spoke of his son. Her efforts to unearth the truth lead to the schism.
Meanwhile, Von Richten shared the story with Cas after just a few weeks. We know who the favorite is. ;)
(Richten is the reason my lad’s got a level in Rogue now, too!)
Casimir meets Ezmerelda, Van Richten's apprentice, while traveling in Barovia.
What does he feed the horse he summoned?
Anything that doesn’t run fast enough! (and has more than 2 legs)
Cas, for some reason, can speak Deep Speech.
A snippet from “current campaign” times. Our party’s got two mustache men so far!
Moustache on the Road
A break from young blob-boy shenanigans to take a look at a fun moment from in-campaign!
Casimir’s getting better at magic, and he summoned a horse last session! He doesn’t know why these weird things flock to him, but… hey! Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
Casimir meets Tao, the Light Cleric, Borivoj, the re-incarnated saint, and Ireena, Strahd's obsession.
He also summons Horse.
Played another sesh of Strahd. My Warlock saw his mom (she really needed a glass of water) and our Cleric murdered someone! Nice!
Barovia is just full of horrors!
My warlock’s sister while he’s hanging out in Barovia, probably.
To be continued!
Cas gets called to Barovia; his sister and godfather do something about it.
