The Fog Will Keep Us Safe

Twistedpaw has always been a worrier. But the increasing amount of distressing dreams make her believe there must be some meaning behind them.

Poison of Mind is a comic set in the Warriors universe, though the connection to canon is fairly loose and mostly follows naming conventions and terminology.

This can and will change as I hammer things out so might want to keep a lookout?

Q's and A's under cut

> When's the comic gonna be posted?

Whenever chapter one is done. Currently I'm at page 12/32

> Where's the comic gonna be posted?

Here and on Comicfury

> Why not do a fully unique setting?

Bcs the first character names and titles came to me in a dream and I want to stay close to it. Also because it eases some of my worldbuilding burden lol.

> Why's the tags pommi___ ?

Poison of Mind shortens to POM which isn't far off from Pommi, aka finnish for bomb. So it's become my own little joke to talk abt the comic with said term. So it's a nickname, in essence.

Accidentally spilled some gender juice on the cats and they started telling me about their identities and how, in fact, I had them wrong. Twistedpaw is transfem, goes by she/her. Thornfrost is nonbinary and goes by they/them.

While I'm at it, happy Trans Day of Visibility! Reminder that this comic is made by a nonbinary queer lesbian and it will reflect that.

Finally getting new pages, the art style change is definitely gonna help me out here.

Making "refs" for all of the cast, partially for easy color eyedropping, mostly to feel out the stylization as I'm contemplating redrawing the first 12 pages. I know, comic sin - but I'm really not happy with the first pages + they're like 3 years old at this point. Though I may just switch over to this style and go back to the first pages once those are done so I don't get caught in a loop.

In hingsight, It would probably have been better if three of the most central characters didn't have names starting with T but at this point I'm too attached to said names.
