2020 thank whatever gods (or Goddesses!) may be on our side, is over!

Now we will be starting the machinery to publish and distribute the first issue of The Flower Chamber.

Look here for more news and for how you can help make this thing a reality!

PS: Mark Bode is creating an alternate cover for the issue, and it's going to be spectactular (of course)

 

 Sometimes you don't get what you expect.

When I was writing the script for "The Flower Chamber," I was picturing Rev. Jonah Starkweather,  head of the "Church of the Rapture" in the domed city of Manhope, as a scrawny, Milquetoast kind of guy who was pushing himself too hard. Not really a match for 8,000-year-old Goddess Hathor (Osanna). But this weekend when I finally got around to creating the character ....

Well, like I said. I sat down to create my scrawny chicken adversary, and who should audition for the job but a mature, solid, battle-hardened leader, every bit Osanna's match. Their first face-off will have more dramatic punch than I expected, and will end surprisingly.

 THE SEVEN HATHORS were avatars of Hathor who were worshiped locally in the Seven Cities of ancient Egypt. Osanna only needs FOUR lieutenants because there's only one city. Clovia is the escort for the newcomers, Ginger is Osanna's right-hand woman and confidant, Sugar is the spokesperson and MC for events, and Yumi is the dresser, makeup and hair expert who keeps everyone beautiful.

 

GEEK TIME

 

Doing a project like "The Flower Chamber" is more like making a movie than a comic book. Set building and dressing, costumes, lighting, photographic direction. I used the creations of many talented modelers to make this possible. Everyone will be credited in the final book. All art rendered in Firefly from PoserPro 10.

In this excerpt, Osanna is giving the Introductory Speech to six new applicants for the position of Darling.

House of Hathor is an organized public service. Everyone gets this speech printed on their contract.

One applicant is especially enthusiastic, guess which one.

With this page the majority of our main characters are introduced.
