Happy Webcomic day!

My name is Jaiden "Ro" Willis (He/She/They), I'm a nonbinary Afro-Latine writer and illustrator , Currently working on "Ndawo".

Ndawo is a Xenofiction, Horror-Fantasy, Coming-Of-Age webcomic, following a nameless former villian (or "Ness"), as they learn to reclaim their life and identity in the aftermath of what they believed was supposed to be the end of their story.

Ndawo explores themes of bigotry, identity, and what it means to unapologetically find, embrace, and embody your authentic self in a world that will stop at nothing to turn that self into something exploitable.

You can read Ndawo here on Tumblr or on Comic Fury

Happy black history month! Black comic creators reblog with your webcomic I wanna find more of y'all :]

Heres mine ^v^

Ndawo is a xenofic horror/fantasy about pirate borderline-sparkledogs learning how to embrace their authentic selves in the face of a world that only views that "self" as something to be made exploitable.

Book 1 follows a nameless former "villian" aimlessly drifting through the aftermath of a story they believe was supposed to end with their death. little do they know that the "hero" of said story is hunting them down in order to get his ideal conclusion.

You can read Ndawo now on Comicfury and support the series on Ko-Fi :]

There's something I wanna say briefly because i'm aware a lot of readers might not pick up on it whatsoever (that's okay, it was written for the girls that get it, i'm not really in the buisness of making psa's).

The emotional core of ndawo stems from a heavily racialized place, a heavily black place. I draw a lot from my own experiences growing up in predominantly white spaces.

For example: The big thing I intend to tackle allegorically in book 1 (with Ness particularly) is how being the token minority can fuck with your brain and ability to form healthy relationships in the future.

I understand the big draw is the gay dogs but these gay dogs are also black gay dogs. I don't want that flying under the radar. I thought it best to just put that out here blatantly as the comic seems to be gaining more traction :]

The archipelagos of Excors were once teeming with unknowable eldritch beasts and magic of vibrant hues; But that all changed once the wolves came: armed with a nullifying ice that plunged the islands into an era of grey.

Now a century past the establishment of the Silver Haven Island Territories, The remnants of the way the world once was has been relegated to its underbelly of piracy.

However, as this age of silver makes its conceitful march towards its own demise; This last fragment of a murdered world must fight for reincarnation or be the first to fall.

QnA End Scene (rest under cut)

And that's a wrap on the character portion of the Qna!

I'll get to the author questions after the 13th since they aren't rooted in any canonical event like the character portion was :]
