why I go by potatge

I was drawing chapter 'Dawn' when I rediscovered a medieval hymn called Lo Boier.

It is about an oxherd whose wife is dying and he listens to her final wishes.

I was betwitched by the line 'te farai un potatge' translating to 'I will cook a potatge for you'. 

Pottage or potatge in old Occitan, meant a stew.

I was struck by the love and kindness the oxherd shows for his wife with that gesture. So this strange new word 'potatge' basically now meant 'love' to me. I chose the old Occitan spelling.

I decided to go by potatge everywhere I could because it captivated me so much!

Also related, I named Joana the same name as the oxherd's wife in the hymn. In short, I am very influenced by the hymn.

There is other super deep meanings I extract from Lo Boier, but they get a bit too surreal to believe, so I won't say them......for now.

chapter 10

New chapter is up. It's about how Muren lost his wings - or well - how they ended up the way they did. 

Very proud to have reached double digits with my chapters! But honestly, I'm just getting started. 

This is just part 1, I may combine the multiple parts onto one HTML page later, but am not super fussed. Whilst it's pretty obvious that I like to edit my site, but I now am trying to keep the structure consistent. I just am focused on producing the best comic I can. If the site is working, that's good enough for me.

unused 'prey' cover

I ended up changing the name of the comic chapter, but this is basically what became the chapter 'mercycurse'. 

I still like the cover.
