I'm always up for hearing more about Maru so A Glass Reflection for the WIP ask thing

A Glass Reflection is my active project. I work on it about 10 hours a week, and the last 2 and a half months have solely been spent scripting and pre-paneling chapters. Currently, I have seven chapters, 12300 words, 70 pages (double spaced).

This started as a personal project that I've decided to go bigger and bolder with- as a lot of SWL fans are just itching for any content from their game. I aim to write and illustrate this for them, though ultimately, this is for me and I will prove to myself that I can write a comic and it will look beautiful.

The goals for this story are as follows:

1. Script and draft 10-15 chapters of a story that is canon-friendly if not canon adjacent to the Secret World and Secret World Legends. Explore some of the experiments of the Orochi Group, the consequences of Entropy and Chaos Magic, poke lightly at the meta of the relaunch, and how personified Man Vs Self can really get (especially when its split between three individuals).

2. Sketch, Line, Color, and Letter all chapters. Chapter 1 took me approx 4 weeks to do all this, so I could be releasing a chapter a month once the script is done.

3. Post it somewhere! I have been trying to figure out where to post this work- whether its just on Ao3 or if I put it on Kofi and ask for donations. SWL doesn't seem to have any sort of fan-works system like WoD and the Dark Pack. Or at least- not that I've seen.

Here are some of the pages I've done:

now with color:

So yeah! I've gotta dash and get to work! But hopefully this gets y'all buzzing about some SWL comic stuff!
