2025 Updates

  

So more updates on my comic - its a real slow process due to my health issues and I have decided to add the OGN format (Original Graphic Novel) as well as individual issues for POD printing cost purposes for both myself and my customers. I need to compile and reformat my current comics into the volumes I had set for the ongoing comic issues, Aeons, Origins, Dark Mirror, Flashback and Chaos War.

The original comic issues will still be available as well to buy in digital as well as a compiled format. Buying the OGN version will work out more affordable over all though.

I have decided whilst there are mature themes in my comic book to not have full on hentai style stuff for varying reasons so will be modifying some of the content I have done to date.

The free to view comics on Comic Fury are censored lo res samples but I won’t be sharing the full comics on there. 

Please bear with me whilst I make the changes - I am also considering what help I need from others with my comic stuff. I have not done well in building a fan base, although I do have some regular readers on Comic Fury. My biggest paying fan ended up being someone with an unhealthy crush on me proclaiming his love to me whilst married to someone else and when I told him to back off he ignored boundaries, even after I blocked him… 

I don’t create as much as I would like because of my many health issues, but better to be like the tortoise, slow and steady, than the hare and burn myself out before I reach my goals. 

If you enjoy my comic, please interact, comment, like, share and support me via subscribestar and buying my comic on release, donations on my Ko-Fi & BCM are appreciated!

 Darkfire Running Animation I did on Procreate. I would love to see my comic as a full animated series. How cool would that be!?

Character Sheet: Darkfire

 

Darkfire Character Sheet - 3 styles done on Procreate, the middle Anime effect I created using an auto action on Clip Studio, the bottom Anime effect using noise, bloom and Gaussian blur on Procreate.

I got the template idea from a castlevania character sheet.

Pixel Art Darkfire Animation

 Credit to Rory Mitchell for the base templates.

I fell down the pixel art rabbit hole recently, I really want to do a point and click adventure game retro style. I have crazy dreams of having a Warcraft style game set in Ilea etc, doing the sanctuary storyline where you can design your own character and do quests with the main story like the comicsbut also side quests etc. If I had the money to get others to help I would. I can barely function on a day to day basis, but I have so many fun creative ideas my brain wants to explode. Being AuDHD and disabled as well as struggling with depression, does make it a challenge and I haven’t felt up to doing the comic for months - plus I moved recently. I think I’m starting to get my creative buzz back slowly but I need to pace myself and settle in here.

In the mean time please enjoy my fun pixel stuff!

The Dominion

 

The Dominion Symbol

In the 1990's when creating my comic, I eventually got the idea for the bad guys name, The Dominion, inspired by a Manga I had on VHS called Dominion. 

(I loved THIS scene SO hard)

I made Brutallica the leader of The Dominion until Darkfire emerges - more on that though when Origins is released.

Comic Art Musings

Reptile vs Terrak

Most of the artwork for the stories I did as a teenager - not for public consumption but purely for my own joy of it - so I used other characters like Marvel's Venom as I was going through a Venom phase at the time. The old stories will likely be recycled for the updated new version and a lot of them are just ideas I had I threw out at the time with a view to refining later. I never wrote the story but would just draw what I felt then added the wording later - I am a self-taught artist from a young child by copying and drawing from memory or my head what I feel so I am by no means a professional Comic Book Artist. My aim is to learn how the pros do it and effectively "start over" incorporating my "feel my way into it" technique with the traditional methods and see what happens. It will likely take me years and I know I will never stop improving and learning and I am late in the game but better late than never and away I go!

I would use whatever I had to hand paper and pen wise - usually a biro or cartridge pens until I found fineliners. All the stories are roughs and I will likely only share a few until I get the new main webcomic up and running and then share the old stuff for where the original story came from comparisons. 

Most of the comic art was done from 14-17 although I have done sporadic bouts of it over the years to date.

I hope you enjoy and please share your thoughts and feelings along the way if you so feel inspired to!
