Trying to get back into my sketching groove and working on the comic after weeks of being sick. Feeling rusty.

Quick and dirty color comparison of HADES pre and post Titan War (from my comic Blind Follies: The Flower and Death). I don’t want to reveal too much, but my version of the game of lots that di...
