A warrior in ruins. A woman adrift. Four centuries apart, two damaged lives are drawn together at the point of a broken sword. Hunted by assassins and cursed by fate, they must reweave the threads of destiny to destroy a Lord of the Unburied Dead. Their currency is blood: for one to heal, the other must kill.

Kindness of Killers was a lot of fun, swapping between the two art styles for the two different time periods. Stretched a few of my creative muscles. It’s been a while since I drew an ultraviolent, horror comic and it was a lot of fun to dip back into these waters. My aim is to have a more scratchy, messy style with Takakage (the gnarly looking Samurai) and cleaner, solid vibe for Jack (the sweary chick in the bowling shirt). As well as helping separate the two timelines, it gives a chance to play with all the comic book techniques.

It was also a lot fun being part of a team again, bouncing ideas off one another, playing off and expanding concepts. I do like working on my own, but there is nothing quite liking being part of a group of creative people. I hope you dig this book as much I as did drawing it. Issue 2 has been an even better romp.

Hello friends.

My name is Markus Pattern and I want to become a comic book artist . I have spent the better part of my adult life trying to make it as a musician and it turns out that I was the only person who wanted that to happen. However the artist muse is a bug and not one you can not shake easily. I’ve always drawn, a need to express myself, so I decided to throw myself into the process. That was last September. Turned out I sucked, massive donkey dick. So I’ve set about learning stuff, figured out where I done fucked up on, tried to pinpoint my flaws and generally wallow in an anime and whisky filled despair. I also learnt gesture drawing, something I’ve never heard of before and I went to art college ( a shit one in the north that I promptly dropped out of) but a useful thing nonetheless.

Well, not anymore. I find I work better to deadlines, that other people impose, and quite frankly, sitting on my own, not showing my work isn't getting me anywhere. So, I am doing a #100daysofcomics. Publicly, out in the open, so you can see if I fail or succeed. A 💯 days of comics, and at the end of the time, I shall have a portfolio worth showing, a website worth visiting and hopefully by the end, an actual comic book for you to read. That is the aim.

So please join, and praise me for my minor successes and scorn me terribly for what I'm sure to be my many fucking failings in achieving a simple task.

Thanks

Markus
