This is the first episode for an animated thriller/comedy web series about a streamer and cameraman duo whose souls are linked via a spell. They explore decrepit buildings and face terrifying supernatural entities all in the name of Internet fame, but whether their circumstances are a blessing or a curse and what to do about them is something the two can’t seem to agree on.
You can see turnarounds of the two main characters, Sherry and Ace, in the character design part of my gallery here, as well as a mock manga cover in the rendered art gallery here.
This is the first chapter of a novel I've begun writing called Smokey Eyes. The story follows two roommates who are undergraduate students in their senior year of college. Avon is a cold, cynical premed student, and Mal is a bubbly (if a bit ditzy) childcare major. One fateful day, one murder, one... impromptu adoption? the two find themselves in the predicament of getting away with homicide while simultaneously taking care of a young, abandonded boy.
The story is intended to be dark overall, but has small moments of humor and warmth in a narrative about dysfunctional relationships and sacrifice.
