Hey! I was thinking about the last ask you answered about how your writing Roy and Jason differently than what is normally seen in dc fanworks. And how you write them is one of the reasons I love persephone so much! It’s so refreshing to read a story that acknowledges who the characters actually are! I hate that I think “finally a story that acknowledges Roy and Dick’s friendship without making it about Jason” but at the same time I’m so glad persephone has me feeling that. I don’t know much of Roy’s character (I’ve just started comics & he’s only made a few appearances so far in ntt which I’m currently going through), but it always bugged me that Roy was seen as a prop for Jason and not his own character in so many aspects of fandom. I think a big issue for me with that Jason & Roy dynamic is the fact that I don’t care for Jason ideologically speaking. I’m getting a little carried away lol. Anyway, that is to say, persephone is a work of art and so is your characterization of each character that you include in the story! <3
thank u kindly! it’s been really rewarding to hear that i’ve done roy in specific justice. it is a shame that one (bad) iteration of these characters has taken over fan spaces to the point where other interpretations are a rarity. roy and the other titans have some really great comics — i wish more people engaged with their preboot stories. best of luck reading!

The Secret Origin of Wally ManMoth
Scans from TyrannoMax #26
Cocytus was one of the better-performing comic companies outside the big 2 in the 1970s before the whole company was bought out by Buzby-Spurlock Animation in the early 80s.
TyrannoMax was its biggest title, so almost everyone in the character stable teamed up with the Dinoids eventually.
Process under the fold.
TyrannMax is created via use of Dall-E 3 and Midjourney as pencilers, and me doing essentially everything else (writing, editing, inking, lettering, layout, etc.) DE is on most of the character art, MJ on backgrounds and select characters.
Each panel utilizes anywhere from one gen/prompt (for a handful of very simple head-shots) to around 20 for stuff like the DinoHydra action shot or the hero/villain showcase panels.
Once I know what I want for a page I lay out the rough dialog and panels, then start generating pics. Basic prompt format and a few examples:
, , , , comic panel by 1968, in the style of 1968
A portly 50 year old man, resembles Alan Hale Jr, jolly smile, wearing a tweed jacket, slacks, sandals, a fedora, sweatervest and a loosened ascot, full body character design, comic panel by Jack Kirby and Alex Toth 1968, in the style of 1968 Marvel comics
a mad scientist mid-transformation into a green anthro-tyrannosaurus, asymmetrical transformation, boils and growths, screaming/roaring, bald, portly, with round glasses. wearing a tattered lab coat, vest, slacks, tie. Comic panel by jack kirby and alex toth, 1968, in the style of vintage horror comics
Then I take the pics into PS, arrange and composite them, and then remove all the color. I don't tend to prompt for my final colors on characters and instead choose light tones I can easily extract. Why not just do B&W prompts? Style impact.
Then I start to re-ink over errors and details that don't match the mood I want, match line thicknesses over various elements, etc. Through this process I adjust dialog placement and panel arrangements, and do generally the things and editor and letterer would be up to.
Once I have the inks, flat colors, and the text on various layers, I do the weathering and compositing to simulate scans of a 1970s comic book. This is also where the deliberate flaws in coloring and print alignment are added for authenticity.

Now take a deep breath. Go ahead take an even deeper one. Only this time as you start to exhale try to imagine how fast it will happen, how hard it's gonna hit you, how many times it will stab your jugular with its teeth or are they nails?, don't worry, that particular detail doesn't matter, because before you have time to even process that you should be moving, you should be running, you should at the very least be flinging up your arms-- you sure as hell should be getting rid of this book-- you won't have time to even scream.
Don't look.
I didn't.
Of course I looked.
