I have not spent much time here! but i have logged on for webcomic day to tell you about my comic, **Kings of Sorts**! Hana has been ousted from his quiet but unfriendly life by a unfriendly stranger due to a king's decree. After a short time together, Hana decides he wants to put his life on the line for this person he barely knows, and goes to the king's castle to bargain for the stranger's freedom. 669+ pages to read for free at [kingsofsorts.com](https://kingsofsorts.com/) But, of course, there's a lot more to it than that. We've got wizards with degrees, illegal technology, an undead lava man, inhumane magical experiments, magical girls, impromptu philosophical discussions, mommy issues, wicked machinations, and at the center... a little redhead who really just wants some friends. also, yes, it is all traditionally drawn, markers and paper and such. also also, KoS is a part of the [spiderforest webcomic collective](https://www.spiderforest.com/), so if you want to read many comics by many passionate people, that is a good place to look. image descriptions: [image 1: a lineup of characters from the webcomic kings of sorts. on the far left is tera, in a pale colored magical girl outfit with gold details. on her right is kii drawing their bow, chaar looking very nervous, and bonic controlling a small amount of lava flying through the air). in front is hana looking very happy and smiling, holding a coin and baby (tiny red dragon).] [image 2: description can be found [here](https://kingsofsorts.com/comic/episode-11-page-3/) (they're too long to all fit in the description)] [image 3: panel 1-3: tera transforming into a magical girl, starting with her hands, going to her waist and then her shoes. panel 4: tera stands in front of an excited baby, shocked bon, and blushing aoife in her pale colored magical girl outfit with gold details. tera: "here we go."] [image 4: panel 1: chaarose stands ready to fight, surrounded by 4 preachan. chaarose (voiceover): "i received some training in preparation for this position. one of the tactics they emphasized was to knock out your opponent, instead of going for blood. panel 2: chaarose has knocked one of the preachan in the face, cracking their mask. chaarose continues: "i-i was doing that. i cracked a preachan's mask with the pommel of my sword." panel 3: the preachan laying on the floor with a cracked mask. chaarose continues: "part of it broke off and-: panel 4: rhean looks at chaar with concern. rhean: "and?" panel 5: chaarose sits quietly, not wanting to say what happened next. panel 6: the face underneath the preachan's mask is revealed. it is segmented into four parts, with rows of teeth lining the segments. chaarose (voiceover): "when the mask broke... underneath... wasn't a person's face..." panel 7: hana looks up thoughtfully. chaar folds her hands on the table and looks at him. hana: "i've seen some without masks... they were just normal people though." panel 8: chaarose nervously plays with her fingers. chaar: "i know- i've seen them too-" she pulls her hands close to her chest. chaar: "i've known people who- who have gone into the preachan program!"] [image 5: description can be found [here](https://kingsofsorts.com/comic/episode-11-page-33/) ] [image 6: description can be found [here](https://kingsofsorts.com/comic/episode-11-page-29/) ] [image 7: description can be found [here](https://kingsofsorts.com/comic/episode-11-page-21/) ] [image 8: panel 1: a glowing eye is visible through smoke. bon: a drawn out "hey". panel 2: bon stands in front of a couple preachan, very confidently. he's in lava man form, charred skin with lava visible through large cracks. through the lava, his bones are visible. bon: "did you miss me?"]

kos-ified maggie and jolene ✨ from [clover and cutlass](https://cloverandcutlass.com/) not that its particularly interesting or surprising, but here’s my design thoughts. gave maggie a cute, bright, but still functional outfit because she has a very bright personality, and i like to see that reflected in clothing. but its still practical, because i feel like the importance of functionality is probably something that she learned. for jolene, i love her solemn cleric clothing vibes, so i wanted to give her something that was still cute, but like… sensible, serious cute. so, half cape. but then she’s got like. that religious stuff, i THINK it’s sun… related……. or adjacent…….. i may have made that up though. anyways, that’s where the sun on the bottom of the under-dress came from. and one color seemed to boring and like… nunnery vibes.. so. gradient.
