I’ve been reading your comics for the past few days and seriously enjoying them. The story you’ve crafted is compelling, complex, and complicated, making it incredibly fun to chew on. I’m a big fan of Liam and Niko’s push-and-pull relationship, with all the conflict and tension that comes from being werewolf and vampire, and also themselves. There are so many emotions between whatever they have going on, the UST is through the roof.
The other characters are all interesting in their own right, too. Bug is a true ride-or-die friend, and I was fascinated by Lucia and Kaspar’s codependent relationship with Niko (which makes me wonder how sustainable it is long-term). I’m also looking forward to seeing more of Mr. Gallo and Kat, from what you’ve shown of them! Hopefully I’m not missing anyone else… Seeing Liam and Niko interact with others in their orbit was both fun and enriching to their characters.
Not to mention, your art perfectly complements the story—I love the variety in character designs (everyone is a fashion icon FR) and the intense expressions they make. Whenever Liam goes like >:( or >:) or maybe even >:D, I go like :)
I also liked the use of black inks, dramatic shadows, and red blood for impact—and also the texture effect in the backgrounds. It creates this rough, gritty atmosphere that works great with the darkness of the world. I’ve never been to LA but got a strong sense of place from your comic, which made the characters feel situated and alive. Also, everything just looks really cool!
Of course, I can’t not comment on the NSFW scenes, which were a delicious combination of gore and porn and quite possibly rewired my brain. My eyes were opened to the possibilities of gorn. Each moment adds to the violent, erotic dynamic between Liam and Niko, creating danger but also thrill. Not to mention, the sex highlights their inhuman aspects in the best ways, making the reader reckon with the fact that they’re creatures of the night.
Awash in Blood hit hard. I read it, then reread it, and enjoyed the second reading even more. Thank you for making this!
Oh my goodness thank you for this wonderful comment! I'm so happy you're enjoying the story and art! I'm not great at words but your comment and analysis means a lot to me, hearing what parts of my comic stand out, etc. is so helpful so seriously thank you!
I'm really glad the characters are compelling and I intend on exploring all of them more as I continue the story. tbh I felt my previous comics were limited by my art skills (which is why I switched to short stories a couple times) but I've improved along the way, so I'm looking forward to trying more complex scenes for future chapters :) This project has grown (i only started with plans for one chapter) and I am so, so glad people are enjoying it! Thank YOU for reading, I'll continue to tell the story with the best of my artistic ability!
