For if I bow, they'll say it was for fear; And if I vow, they'll say it wasn't real.

some rambles under the cut 🥀

I’ve mentioned this on my other social medias but given the state of 2020 I think that it’s safe to say that my goal of releasing Larvatus’ first chapters will probably be delayed further than expected. Between my job, the pandemic and just being unmotivated to an unprecedented degree (like...I’ve never had a break from art that long, since I was about fifteen or so??) I’m going to have to take some more time off to keep developing stuff. 

The more I look at the project in its current state, the less I’m happy with elements of it.. I want to keep refining, but keep certain elements public so that I’m not leaving everyone in the dark again like I did for most of this year. I think I’m going to aim for a smaller project goal to complete by the end of the year, e.g. new reference art or Lore entries on WorldAnvil that are available for public access, maybe some world-building stuff like an updated map, etc. I’ll think on it! 

Thanks for your patience everyone!! ❤️

tl;dr comic unlikely to be released in 2020 due to a lot of Shit Going On. will aim for a smaller related project in the meantime.

I can only have Larvatus on the backburner for so long before I start missing it  🥺🌹

With most eyes looking to a growing cult as means of salvation as their cities burn around them, it will take nothing less than a holy intervention to reign the people in now...

Production for this trailer is estimated to be complete in around 2-3 months! Updates will be sporadic in the meantime, mostly pertaining to answering asks if any questions arise. Otherwise, keep an eye out for any art floating about (and the occasional sneak peak)!

Who is the main character of Larvatus?

The story revolves around a woman called Lamya Castor, but is told primarily through the lens of a nobleman by the name of Theodore Oroth.

i want a world fact! what's the setting of larvatus? what's the weather like? are there animals?

Larvatus is set in a fictional country called Talavan! It’s an amalgamation of Central and Eastern Europe (some English Moors are also thrown in because I can’t resist), with some settlements to the north more influenced by places like Denmark and Iceland. I’m definitely inspired by the high gothic style of cathedrals for areas of religious significance as well. 

To call the weather “dreary” would be an understatement. It’s cold, miserable, and almost always covered in a light shower or mist. It is a rare sight to see the sun as the sky is always blanketed by grey clouds.

The fauna of Larvatus are similar in function to the animals we know, but with a bit more of a fantasy twist on them, as always. 

Thank you! 🌹

The Empire crumbles under its debt; the colonies under their famine. The clandestine authority of the eight does naught but stoke the fires of bitterness.

With most eyes looking to a growing cult as means of salvation as their cities burn around them, it will take nothing less than a holy intervention to reign the people in now…

Larvatus is a dark fantasy webcomic with a trailer currently undergoing pre-production! Updates and assorted artwork will be featured on this blog in the meantime.  

Coming soon! 🌹🏰
