Hello there! My name is Dasha W. Frost. I think I've never introduced myself before. Nice to meet you! I am a little indie artist who finally gathered up some courage and endeavoured to take on my first-ever graphic novel. Here it is, the first 3 chapters (out of 8) are finally published worldwide! 🥳 Here they are:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
And to celebrate the release, I decided to start off with a real big discount right away. It's on 75% off sale right now for a while starting today. You could get each chapter individually ($1 per chapter) or simply download a bundle that includes all 3 of them for just $3.
A little more about the story (each chapter has a more detailed synopsis on its respective page): a few years pass after a certain incident, and Lothar, a contract killer, reunites with a person who is special for him, and now the new horizons (and possibly obstacles) await the couple. Are they really destined to be together in this reality? Or will the dreadful event of the past repeat itself yet again, no matter the timeline and Lothar’s effort?
I consider it a somewhat experimental graphic novel. The visuals change with each chapter. It has odd - sometimes slow, sometimes fast - narration with gaps (that the readers should fill in by themselves). Non-linear. The chapters don't have to be read in order, yet they have continuity in it. It has a little bit of everything: comedy, sci-fi, action, adventure, horror, parody, etc. - however, I myself consider it to be a psychological creation first of all, for it touches thoughtful philosophical themes, and explores emotions of the characters, their interactions. And another one important thing: it has numerous videogame references in it, this is why my target audience is primarily gamers, just like myself ;). Among the references in already existing chapters, there are definitely Lobotomy Corporation, DOOM, and Soulsborne games. Can you find them all???
This project bears incredible importance to me. It's a self-challenge, art exploration as well as it's an experiment, in both the form and the visuals. I've been working on it since 2020, and it's also an on-going project. I estimate it will take me a few more years to finish the story since I work on it pretty much by myself, and I will share the next chapters as soon as they are ready.
I am truly eager to receive your feedback, reviews, and constructive criticism! I really appreciate your support; your contributions really helps me grow as an artist!
You can read a little more about it, track down the progress with it and see other funny and cute (and sometimes a little naughty, but still cute) artworks featuring Jeanny and Lothar on my social accounts, if you want.
Thank you for your time and attention, and take care! See you soon once Chapter 4 is released! 👋
