Fun fact: Basileus is the source of one of the quotes in The Castle Automatic. It is a good comic. It is a comic you should buy and a comic you should read.

Kickstarter has changed to hours, so you know things are serious now. Here is another print you could potentially add to your order. Go cheeeccckkkk eerrrr oouuuttt!

Art by Martin and Roger Dean and Richard Clifton-Dey originally intended for Jeff Wayne’s 1977 War of the Worlds album, but never used.

Blazing toward the finish now, only three more days and I will stop shilling. This is another art print you can order along with your book, go check it out! *Jazz hands*

One of the drawings in the new fashion zine I'm putting together

Y’all thought that was it? You thought this absolute rock pilled deviant would go to Joshua Tree and not take a hard drive worth of rock photos? THINK AGAIN

This was originally rejected by my editor at Marvel, but it was always one of my favourites, so you get to see it here! Sunday Funnies YAY!

SO, patreon comic has been updated. the 'prisoners on dozmary craig' side arc, still. another 32 pages, bit of gore in this part

A Domekan warrior receiving a blow from an akepholon, one of the larger and more dangerous necromantic golems of Karazad

this is insanely cool, one of the best things i've recently encountered online

I caught a spy my liege

He's right tho

it just sort of feels like when a cop in a movie shoots a werewolf with a normal bullet and everybody goes phew glad thats over and then the cop goes over to check the body and

Some new TRIBAL work. Vehicle shenanigans.

An absolute stunner of an image and one I somehow have never seen despite being friends w @basileuscomic.bsky.social for at least a decade

I would love a good book on this era - a Western version of Palmer’s excellent QIGONG FEVER

I highly recommend this film. It's probably a good companion piece to"Come And See" but this tale concentrates its sights on the blithe banality of Nazi evil.

6 days left! Fly at once to the kickstarter and carry away a book.

Soar like a budgerigar into some of the finest comics you’ll ever sample with @basileuscomic.bsky.social - truly some marvellous work

A fully anglicised version of China

An Urazadi idol to Dzovad, the Cannibal God, usually only evoked for power in battle or as the executor of supernatural curses and punishments.

"Hello, you've reached the Triangle Agency, please hold..."

I am very pleased to report we have cracked 8k, which I believe puts us safely beyond the cost of printing, tax and fees! There are still YET more books to claim, if you dare, so if you have not TAKE A LOOK AT THAT KICKSTARTER.

180 percent funded! Only a scant 7 days remain! Is that enough time to supplant the Bible as the world's best selling book? Probably not, but I like to dream big.

I feel a most sincere gratitude toward those curious supporters of strange independent comics, either in pdf or physical format, or just in well wishing donations made along the way. That there is still demonstrable interest in such media, encourages future work. The FINAL WEEK BEGINS!

I support this, and supplement it with just the idea of getting GOOD reference and collecting it instead of relying on google image search. I will admit to some lazy reference googling, but for the good stuff, you want a collection at the very least

Pretty proud to see "A Star Called The Sun" make the list of top ten image comics last month! imagecomics.com/features/ima...

An Urazadi idol to Dzovad, the Cannibal God, usually only evoked for power in battle or as the executor of supernatural curses and punishments.

Whatever you do, don't look at my bio in my profile. Don't do it.

the LotR memes will continue until morale improves ⚔️

This is, sadly, because man-kzin wars never really hit the preteen readers in the same way

Made more traditional paintings this year, that I didn't think were as much of failure as some attempts in 2024. I liked these!

Absolutely great, love the statue and video

A burnt offering being made to an idol of Zamparan, patron god of oath-takers, warriors, and repentant adulterers. According to legends, he was decapitated by the jealous spouse of his lover, only to be reanimated and given the head of a dog. Worshipped in Karazad.

The show opens this Friday, and I'm excited to see all the arts :) Who doesn't like mythical creatures?

This is free. And amazing. Just read it. It's a masterclass in "show don't tell". Paints a world without writing the history of the world. I just want more and I'm more than happy to pay for it.

it's funny

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

a masterpiece in the making

The cover design is finished! Go check out the whole thing on the kickstarter, and then order a book while you are there. Why not?

Don't sleep on @basileuscomic.bsky.social - bande desinee beyond your wildest dreams, drawn by one of the Don Valley's finest sons...

I 🫀 bestiaries / encyclopedias / field guides / handbooks ! (Feel free to QRP with your own!)

big computer is for big money small computer is for small money that's just how it works

This film was one of the biggest influences on Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Seeing it for the first time, Miyazaki told his friend, "I guess we’re failures, aren’t we?" This is Crac -- the first masterpiece by animator Frédéric Back. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-lament...

“Maybe you can pay for the premium afterlife, so you can watch through a webcam and see that.” Getting deep with cartoonist Simon Roy about comics and things beyond comics. Listen to our latest episode about A STAR CALLED THE SUN🔗🧵⬇️

@paulchadwick.bsky.social justice reminded me of this piece I drew years ago, accurately depicting the battlefield that is my gastrointestinal tract

Fun bit of personal reportage: currently in day four of a shigella infection (aka dysentery) and I can report that it is, in fact, pretty bad. You can track your food/water in real time as they sluice thru each section of the digestive tract!

“A lot of it becomes like foundational mulch.” We spoke with cartoonist Simon Roy about the influences that fuel his new short story collection, A STAR CALLED THE SUN. Listen to our latest episode🔗🧵⬇️
