"Barbarous is the story of Percy, a down-on-her-luck wizard school dropout who finds herself out of her depth when she becomes the assistant to the super at an apartment building full of misfits. Leeds, the super in question, is a secretive monster man that she just can’t seem to get along with. And of course there’s the landlady Cecilia (of Girl With the Skeleton Hand fame), who clearly has some secrets of her own. Barbarous has magic, drama, pasts shrouded in mystery, and more drama. Can Percy make a place for herself here? Will Leeds be able to make room for her? They might be able to help each other out, if they could just get along first..."

Propaganda:

"This comic has a unique magic system and a story with a lot of intrigue. So many questions to answer. Leeds is a sweetheart and Percy is a tightly wound mystery waiting to be unfolded."

Read it here!

Some older fan art of Johnny Wander's Barbarous. I remember when I first found out about this webcomic; I was hooked. Now, I am waiting patiently for the next chapter.

I still haven't drawn anything new yet. Does anybody else go through these long bouts of burnout, too?

Barbarous (Go check it out!)

LOOOOOL PEEEEEEEEERCYYYYYYYYY!!!! GIRL!!!

But also the look of guilt paired with the possessive “their”? :3c (Also the panel itself and the emphasis on Leed’s shirt >:3c)

Is he your man, Perce? >>:3c

H...holy shit Barbarous (by @aidosaur )

So I finally sat down and am trying to do ACTUAL @barbarous fan art??? Playing with lighting and size first, then we will see where this goes. Percy’s fashion sense and almost selfishness that she tries so hard not to give into with Leed, and Leeds large gentleness paired with an ingrained(?) quiet bit of “danger” (that we saw this last chapter and is just *chefs kiss*) has me by the THROAT. Truly, if you haven’t read it, what are you doing with your downtime??? Below is the original, then a pink tone, and finally a black and white under the tonal shading.

Now this is just unfair.

Reading Barbarous over at Johnny Wander and I love that Percy cut all of Leed's sleeves off, then looked at him without them and went "oh no he's hot" lolol.

I wish someone else I knew was in this lil fandom with me.

A crummy wizard and an anxious monster have to get over themselves and bring order to an apartment building full of misfits.
