Hey guys! Just wanted to remind everyone of this comic I wrote! It's best to go to the tumblr and use the navigation buttons to read this.

Lets get this started!  Catching Fireflies is an all ages story about a girl named Emily, who is visiting her grandma for the summer.  This is the first time in years, and she’s not eager to talk about why she’s missed so many summers at her grandma’s cabin.  

There’s things in the woods.  Terrible things.  Scary things. Wonderful things.  When Emily meets a strange girl after getting lost in the woods, things change.  Who is this girl, and why did she say she lives in the run down, creepy old cabin in the middle of the forest?

Updates Mondays and Wednesdays!

#my stuff #the art isn't the best #but I reread it and still liked it #my ego is massive #its horror fantasy #and set in the same world as Lake Obscura #sort of a prequel side story

It’s concept art time!  A little peek into my process of creating a 38 page comic.

This took roughly 7 months to complete, even though I had the idea for this story for nearly three years.  I actually wanted to write this out as a r/Nosleep story, told from Libby’s perspective, but I’ve never posted anything on reddit, so I went with a comic instead.  

As for the pictures, we got some scenery pics (though I wish I had drawn more of the island.  Oh well, live and learn)

There’s some sketches and a turnaround of Becca (Who has honestly become of of my favorite kids at Lake Obscura)

Some ancient pictures of Libby circa 2004-5 (Why yes, I was a huge fan of Invader ZIM and JTHM, how did you know.  Also I couldn’t include most of my art of Libby because it was so weird and bloody.  I just really liked blood and body horror back then.  That’s a little concerning)

I might draw a few extra things, but that’s it for Seas of Infinity!  I hope you enjoyed this comic, maybe shared it with a few friends.  I’m currently working on the main story for Lake Obscura.  I’m not sure if it’ll be a comic, or written prose, or maybe even an RPG maker video game, I just know it’s a project I love with characters and a setting I can’t get enough of.

Thank you so much, everyone who read this, you’re the best!

We’ve come to the end of Seas of Infinity.  I had a lot of fun writing this comic and making this story come to life!  This story is just a larger part of a whole, but it an important stepping stone for me.  

Also, stay turned for concept art and stuff!

Yvette is back, and not in flashback this time!  Well, this story is told in past tense.  Also, now Libby is in trouble.

At least it looks like they’re going into the fog, which was where Libby was trying to go before all this started.

Well, let’s hope this thing doesn’t eat people.

Also, to give this a sense of scale, this page is the only one that is just one panel, because I wanted it to have the most impact.

Libby is very good at swimming!  That is a proven fact!  Also, that’s one big shadow that’s being cast...

So... Looks like Libby had a hard home life?  Lets focus on that and not the ominous thing in the back of panel 2.

Libby, why are you so pretentious?  Even when you’re talking about saving a child from drowning in a primeval sea, you still mange to make it sound like one of your Final Fantasy slash fics.
