Secrets of the Death Dragon

I've been meaning to do a followup post to get some more mileage out of all the work I put into that Death Dragon serial, but things have just been too busy!

In the meantime, though, I'll share one little tidbit and point out that the illustrations for Days 18 through 20 (our hero's phantasmagoric journey on Komodo Island) were designed to fit together into a single large-format picture.



Komodo Island isn't anywhere near this lushly forested, of course. You might think of it as an allegorical jungle, a color-keyed extension of the malevolent lizards themselves.

Blood Bite of the Death Dragon: Day 17

Fun fact: The Komodo airport is actually at Labuan Bajo, on a totally different island.

Blood Bite of the Death Dragon: Day 16

Hard to believe I've done sixteen of these daily installments in a row! I don't think I knew what I was getting myself in for, but there's only five more to go, so it's too late for second thoughts now.

Wait, now what's going on?



Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who paid a visit to the SIREN booth during WonderCon! Perhaps you'll be intrigued by Ben Jelter's sneak preview of a hypothetical second volume.

Blood Bite of the Death Dragon: Day 12

So you know how, in a horror movie, there's usually that part where the protagonist goes to the library or the municipal microfiche depository or something, and finally gets around to doing a bunch of research? Well...

Blood Bite of the Death Dragon: Day 11

This is starting to feel weirdly metaphorical. I swear the original premise of this series was a simple sight gag!

And now the stalking has truly begun in earnest.

Blood Bite of the Death Dragon: Day 9

Oh my gosh, there's a plot -- and it thickens!



Speaking of which, did anyone notice the Starbucks Bold Pick of the Week? Everything's coming up lizards...
