COMMISSIONS // SKETCH REQUEST (KO-FI)

here it is in all it's glory; reynauld begins his deprogramming journey. there may be a follow up, but for now i hope you all enjoy the tip of the iceberg.

dialogue in alt text. here are all 95 ?? pages sketched out. there could be some more pages in-between certain things, but this was a great practice in adaptation and layout.

here is the source text that I originally wrote in prose. all of this is open for feedback!

thanks to those who followed along for the ride! i'd definitely like to finish off some of these pages at some point, but for now i'll just wink and nudge towards my commission info since i'm open for work.

one thing i like about the dd series is that it rarely seems to give a fuck about ‘face reveals’ or like. mystery with their masked cast. like yea tardif has never been shown but hes more of an outlier that proves the rule, rather than the rule; its the same with damian, too

reynauld, baldwin, amani, paracelsus, josephine, hell, even dismas - it’s all incredibly casual, you can see them unmasked in game, or in official art, not even artistically obscured or anything. makes it feel less like a ‘masked character’ and more like a ‘character who is masked’ thing. makes em feel more real, and makes our outliers (tardif, damian) stand out even more in comparison. some good characterization and character design for all!

It took long but it's finally done. And I'm kinda proud of it.

edit: since al-hazred is a last name, and in my head he and junia are close, i chose idris (enoch) as a first name. some scholars believe the prophet idris is representative of hermes trismegistus, the legendary father of hermetic philosophy which in turn greatly influenced occultism.

idk if I'll make this a fic instead or keep sketching out comic pages for practice
