Hello ‘Erbody!
I have a concept!!
I found my passion for writing almost 1 year ago. But I’ve also discovered a love for drawing. As I get a little bit better at doodling I’ve been thinking about doing a crossover between a story I’m writing and a longish fan comic (or doujinshi? DJ? What are they called now? I’m old 😵💫).
The plot:
We replay Christian history through the eyes of Lucifer, a Harold of Christianity. He’ll live seven lifetimes full of tribulation as he does his best to counteract the seven deadly sins with the seven heavenly virtues. He doesn’t live his lives alone, as Alastor, another wayward soul fighting desperately to earn redemption, joins him as the harbinger of chaos.
Alternating POVs

In 313AD, the Kingdom of Armenia has recently made history by becoming the first nation to adopt Christianity as their official religion. Such a bold declaration thwarts unity and only succeeds in sparking more turmoil in the already tumultuous conflict between Rome and Persia that’s been taking place for centuries on occupied Armenian land. Fire temples are being destroyed or overtaken for use as churches, and a band of Zoroastrian followers will not stand for the degradation any longer.
In a world where everyone is suspicious of everyone, people are hard pressed to trust even their closest relatives. Nakharar, the feudal lords, have far too many responsibilities. Keeping one eye open, even whilst asleep, is always recommended. A brooding hunter finds a lost boy (man?) who isn’t all he seems to be. As they grow closer, the secrets between them can only spell disaster.

It’s 18+, maybe 16+, for violence and mature topics like abuse or mentions of sexual misconduct.
I am thinking of making a nsfw version, too, but that might be far off and behind a paywall like patreon. Is that the right thing to do? I’m walking blind in the dark here, I’ve never done anything like this 🥴
For the sake of making the characters look more like themselves I’ll prolly keep Alastor’s monocle even though eyewear wasn’t invented until like… a thousand years later 😂🤫
What do we think? Too boring? 🧐 I’m just not confident.
Here’s the overall style I’m drawing in (though the page isn’t done):
