DST: The Urban Legend - page 8-9-10

Drama, fire, and warmth. A feeling that fills your heart. For me, this is like a little game: to show what Wilson feels inside (in the upper panel of page eight, in that purple glow) — and what actually waits for him outside, in reality.

Pain and warmth take shape in him at the same time.

“If you feed the flame, it grows… but the shadows are always waiting. And they were never our enemies.”

What would you choose? The flame… or the shadows?

Sketching for the comic 1.2 - Wilson

A few small sketches from the upcoming comic pages — this time it’s just a glimpse of Wilson’s grumpy drama, but don’t worry, Willow’s around too!

Is it just me, or does he kinda have a big hip or butt?

Sketching for the Comic - Just Willow

Ekletia: Willow stole my drawing pen and did THIS with it!! She totally trolled my drawing!!

Willow:Fixed your boring notes, you’re welcome.

DST: Tul -ch 2 page 01-03

Actually, the chapter title 'The Recordable Frequencies' only refers to these few pages.

Originally, this part would have been much longer and way more boring.

I spent a lot of time thinking about how not to make it dull. Then all the things Willow says weren’t even in the draft sketches (Right now I mean the physics draft page.) — they just came out spontaneously as silly ideas, but even that was preceded by days of thinking.

Vote is closed!!

Thank you so much to everyone who voted!! You really helped me decide which of the three I should show you on Wednesday.

Now I know for sure that the Throne Caste are the ones you're most interested in. It was a tough battle.

But don’t worry — the other two will get their turn next week! 😉

I voted too! The Hand faction just speaks to me.✋✨

Here’s a little sneak peek at the magazine cover.

Yes, in this version of the DST universe, the shadow society has its own magazine — and it’s entirely about Wilson!! Did I go overboard with this whole thing while writing it?

Absolutely!!

@number-1-harumi-hater I hope you don’t mind that I added your quote to the cover. Since the Throne caste won, I felt like it was the perfect spot for it! As if you were one of the editors speaking out, too.

DST: TUL -OC Alistor sketch

Yeah....One of my own characters.

Honestly? I'd love to punch him. I don’t even particularly like him…

And although he won’t appear in the main story for a while, I just couldn’t keep him to myself any longer.

He’s not the first – and certainly not the last – original character you’ll see from me… …but probably one of the most "memorable". 😏

For now, I won’t say too much about him. Just like the others.

Alistor Quote:

Maybe he have someone with a little "romantic" staying?

(I know, I know… this is no Maxwell. No Maxwil. Tragic. They exist together in another drug-infused DST universe…)

Sketching for the Comic -New Fire 🔥

(Hope this won't end up being two months of work… especially since it's just three pages. )

I recently started working on the new comic pages—the mood will be a little different compared to the previous, funnier pages. It will be closer to the first two pages, leaning towards a more serious tone.

I hope this shift won't be too distracting for anyone!

These scenes revolve around a conversation that immediately reminded me of the Don’t Starve Tales: Inevitable video. But there's a significant difference here:

Wilson is very stubborn and doesn't want to accept what's inside him.

He especially doesn’t want to become anything like Maxwell—

mainly because he doesn’t really like him.

The bottom panel is my favorite. I love how the swirling shadows in the background wrap around Wilson as he tries to resist. It gives me the feeling that the cave itself is breathing along with him.

DST: TUL page 14

Just posting this single page – it’s the chapter finale!

Honestly, I have no idea what the title of this chapter was supposed to be… …but I do know the next one will be called:

“The Recordable Frequencies.”

These first three chapters are meant to lay the foundation for the whole world.

So if you’ve been following along so far – thank you! Things are just getting started.

By the way, the upcoming casual posts (which I usually share on Mondays and Wednesdays) will focus more on the shadow society – so expect a bit of worldbuilding… and of course, Wilson getting involved. As always. 😅
