TIME WILL DEVOUR HIS CHILDREN | CHAPTER ONE
A downloadable comic
UPDATE: Chapter Two is now available here, and includes a free download of chapter one.
“There came a day when the young students left the all-women’s Witch Coven to follow their oathbreaking mentor in search of true freedom. Their search was doomed from the start, and one oathbreaker became three."
TIME WILL DEVOUR HIS CHILDREN is an on-going queer dark fantasy comic about your past coming back to haunt you. The story follows two aging and disgraced students of the Witch Coven, Sishmu and Korbla, as they set out to find and bring their old mentor to justice. This story is intended for adult audiences, and will explore dark themes.
The chapters are released in my itch.io store as I make them between my other work. Chapter two is available here, which includes chapter one in the download. However, you can still download chapter one individually with the pay-what-you-want principle here.
95 pages, full color.
Update September 2023: Reworked the first chapter, adding 20 new pages including 3 new scenes, and added visual and dialogue edits throughout for better flow. If you've already downloaded the comic, you'll have access to a free update in the download.

We've been talking about this comic in a discord with friends and going 'this is so cool this is so cool' at each other. What gorgeous art, what intriguing worldbuilding. It feels like cracking open one of those big dense fantasy tomes but only experiencing the delight of the point where you're immersed and seeing the world unfold around you, page after page. Also really interesting gender stuff going on in here.
great comic, would love to get a physical copy.
Words are not enough for me to describe how absolutely gorgeous the art in this comic is. Like holy shit! At every page i had to pause and marvel at the light, shading, colour palette, architecture, character designs, character expression, brush texture, scenery etc etc. We know so little of this world yet it feels rich and lived in and im so eager to learn more about it and its characters!
And the character beats! Sometimes a character can just be standing wordlessly but yet there is such emotion and such gravity in things left unsaid.
This comic resonates so deeply with me. I can't put into words as to why, but... It just hits, y'know?
The artwork is stunning. I love the textures and palettes used, composition of each page is so exquisite and really immerses you into the setting.
I can't wait to read the next chapter.
I loved the story and artworks. The scratchy texture style is so beautiful. I'm curious for chapter 2.
really loved this first chapter, the art is super amazing on top of a really interesting synopsis, I can't wait for chapter 2
Absolutely recommend, love the characters, the dynamics, the subtle worldbuilding!!!
I read shattered spear many months ago and came back to see if this author had published anything else. Immediately, I was hooked on the synopsis for 'Time will devour his children'!
Expert storytelling and incredible illustrations - I can't wait for the continuation of this tale.
It would be fantastic to see some of your progress work i.e how you marry storyboarding to your written work. This book is so beautifully crafted.
HELLO I JUST READ THIS AFTER READING SHATTERED SPEAR AND BEING LIKE "WAIT THIS PERSON IS SUCH A GOOD AUTHOR WTF WTF" AND I AM HERE TO SAY THAT THIS IS SO SO GOOD AND I LOVE THIS STORY AND THESE CHARACTERS AND I CANNOT WAIT TO READ MORE I AM SO HYPED FOR THE CONTINUATION PLEASE KNOW YOU HAVE CREATED SOMETHING TRULY GRIPPING AND WONDERFUL AND I WILL WANT THE FULL STORY ON MY SHELF SOMEDAY<333
( ...also .... .... korbla... is so..... *twirls hair*... *giggles*.. *kicks m feet a lil*.. )
Such a wonderful story with such a rich setting and obviously well and meticulously crafted lore. I've been wanting to learn more about these characters since their story in Smut Peddler, and it's so cool to see their world and their origins!
This was certainly worth the wait- even if it's really just a tiny bit of the story right now. A good balance of showing vs. telling for the setup, and the art has a wonderful texture. The colors are superb, but the texture- somewhere between dry brushed acrylic and colored pencil- is used to great effect. It gives every panel extra visual richness.
Intensely interesting and thought provoking, as always. It's hard to even put my thoughts into words, so I'll try again later when there's more...
Thank you for sharing this!
Hell yeah can't wait to read more!!
