the queen and the woodborn

something i'm developing as an upcoming single book thing. always wanted to make a single book fairy tale

 

the queen and the Woodborn

it is a tale of a queen that has fulfilled her duty to the crown and sired a heir to the throne. after that she found herself being ignored, left to her own devices. nobody paid her any attention and after her son turned twelve he was taken to be raised by the king and his council. left alone and ignored being no more but a throne ornament, she takes to wandering on her own, first in the palace and soon after outside. these walks get progressively longer until she wanders too far in the old woods and stumbles into the territory of the old gods and there she encounters the Woodtborn, and her grand adventure begins.

in the style of the old fairy tales as her punishment for trespassing into the sacred realm, the Woodborn asks for the queen's first born child to be raised in the woods. the queen pleads for mercy and an arrangement is struck where the queen will serve the Woodborn.

hilarity ensues.

so yeah i kinda want to do a think one and done volume and tell a cool fantasy romance type thing, dark and exciting and just...fun.

think of it as a miyazaki story for an adult audience. a fairy tale  with a mature rating XD

for this i will have to reorganize some of my future plans but as this will be a single probably 200+ page volume, my plans won't get derailed for too long.

might do it between sunstone volumes, i'll see

Oh, yeah, this looks very promising....

Desmond Auer

I am eager to read it can't wait! I hope a printing version will come out eventually

Iñaki Rodriguez Villelga

I'm already in love with this! Can't wait to see more.

This somehow reminds me of the book "Uprooted" by Naomi Novik. I just love the magical feeling that fairy tales bring.

Have you thought about putting this on Kickstarter? Then marketing it on Twitter. I know a ton of people who would love this. I buy a lot of indy comics off Kickstart along this vein of storytelling. The Harleen book has garnered you are larger mainstream following that would probably like this.

When I first discovered you on Deviantart I was blown away by your illustrations. Now that I've been following your works I'm even more impressed by all your original story concepts. Please don't ever stop.

ooh color me intrigued, are we going to be able to read it here?

Oh I'm so excited for more! And the strerch marks! Hah!

Skyeanna Malito

I’m so excited. You draw such wonderful rage faces 🥴

hollyygram

One volume? Kinda like how Sunstone was only a collection of fun one page comics? Or like how Fine Print was only about a lady having to decide who was the better succubi/succubus? Or is it more like how Harleen was a short black and white comic that you weren't going to complete? See where I'm going with this? Kidding aside, I'm looking forward to this.

Jason Hoff

Single volume huh...

Mika

I love this. So. Much. Yes.

I'm sold. Hilarity ensues, indeed.

Em M

Looks like a lot of fun, and I'd expect nothing less! Can't wait to see it evolve.

Frank Lanza Jr

The odds of you successfully restricting yourself to a one-and-done short, fun romp are hilarious. Your characters will start independently developing large, fully-fleshed out backstories and complicated histories any moment now ^.^

Nicholas Grey

LOVE the one About the stretch marks. HI-LA-ROUIS !

Rena Beckert

Yes! This looks and sounds awesome

Josh Aguilar

stjepan sejic

I may have jumped up and down in my seat at the prospect of this. Just a little bit.

Mike

How did you get a sense of what the style of old fairy tales is like? I'd really, really like to know.

Vairya1

I'm getting a strong Neil Gaiman's Stardust vibe, I'm really excited for this

GG

This looks amazing! You have so many great ideas!

Chris

I'd read this. Absolutely. But I'm also going to say that this makes me miss Ravine all the more.

Alysandir

I am really excited for this.

Fritz Sands

A fairy tale with a mature rating sounds great

StLOrca

Ola

Will look forward to adding this to my collection! Say are you going to do any Cons after all this craziness is over, I would like to get a few of your works autographed. That way my adopted great grand children will be rich!

Robert

This is both amazingly beautiful and brilliantly interesting. Magnificent masterpiece of pure flawless perfection my god emperor of awesomeness friend. *yetihug*

Kaiyeti

Eeee! Always a sucker for fairytales and mystical creatures!

Allison Matthas

oooh!

Satan

so far the truly relevant stuff would be: harleen, sunstone and death vigil.

stjepan sejic

i actually already outlined it and settled the perfect ending so i got this under control :)

stjepan sejic

I am vibrating with excitement and anticipation! Can you please put a list somewhere of all your works - completed and in progress? I feel like I have missed seeing some of it. I only just recently discovered your work on the Harley Quinn backstory - it's amazing! I don't want to miss out on any other stuff you've crafted.

Roo

It's absolutely awesome. Can't wait to read this one as well :)

Jérôme Beard

Oh this looks so freaking good! A mature, lesbian romance fairy tale? A wish come true!! Thank you so much!

Silke

Please excuse my skepticism, but I cannot shake off the feeling that you won't be able to stop at a single plot arc and turn it into another long-runner series. XD Not that any of us mind, of course. ;-)

Mikhail Aristov

You had me at adult fairy tale and sealed the deal with the lesbian inclination. I'll support you on whatever platform you decide to go with. I enjoy your storytelling and character creation. I think this will be an excellent addition to your legacy.

Therian

I love this idea!!

DubsNutz

This looks fantastic. I'm personally very excited. As a creator you need make what your inspired to make. It keeps you fresh and creative. In turn it makes your other works better. I'm here for the long haul as is my pledge.

Brave Sir Robbin

Geez, you've been busy. Also, super keen for a fairlytale-esque story in your style :D

Ghost

A) I'm a sucker for fairy tale structured story telling. B) As always your artwork inspires the mind and thrills me. C) LESBIANS!

geekinlikeaboss

I SO love the exchange about the queen's stretch marks 😂😂😂

Fanny Juillard

I absolutely love what you've shown so far, and I'm 100% on board for fancy covers!(Just picked up my acetate-hard cover Harleen)

Frank Punch

Please, please, please make this. It already looks amazing and it's only the concept!

I think this is wonderful. I love seeing it develop on your twitter and so glad you decided to follow your inspiration. Can't wait to see how it all comes about.

Josephine Baird

fingers crossed :)

stjepan sejic

yeah, the brainbugs wouldn't stop bugging me

stjepan sejic

yes yes yes also the stretchmarks thing is EXTREMELY cute and I want to hug both of them

Liz Denocte

nah, i'll post the opening to it here for all tiers as it is made. i'm genuinely contemplating doing this as a kickstarter primarily because i want to make a really cool edition with the cover having gold foil detailing to make it look like an old illustration... i'm a bit of a sucker for fancy crap like that XD

stjepan sejic

I actually really love this idea. Especially the little detail that the Woodborn doesnt know what stretch marks are. That's just kinda cute and funny

Camwell Art

Ah, I see you have decided to go for it. I seen you talk about it on Twitter and wondered if you would.

Meganclare7

You had me at Miyazaki Type of story 😏 Will there be a new tire at Patreon to read it or wont you show it at all till it is finished and sold as a completed book?

Xion

comic but a single graphic novel. around i'm guessing 200ish pages

stjepan sejic

This is wonderful!

Love it. Will it be an illustrated book? A comic? Purely written? Combination?

Danella Rodriguez-Giusti

It looks and sounds awesome! I love the character dynamic already.

Joshua Ohmer

Already looking forward to it

I love the style. Hope there will be a hight quality print.

Frufus

I love it
