The transformation of the Mangrell.
A new page from Stump #2 that I’ve been working on. This is the very first known transformation of a human being into the Mangrell, which took place around 5,000 years ago in a country that is currently at the bottom of the ocean just off the east coast of North Korea.
I decided to make this sequence a little dark and scary, because you need to feel that the antagonists of any story should be taken seriously. Especially with a main hero as powerful as Stump. There is a reason that the entire second issue is devoted to Stump's encounter with the Mangrell. Still, I did decide to go with abstracted colors just to dial the gruesomeness down a little bit.
Stump #2 is currently InDemand on Indiegogo right now: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/stump-2-comic-book?fbclid=IwAR1yztU97abg3PrMCvyc3KXXo26sHA_08JUAu4oFNIu9iXU_beojqD6kVcw#/
