A few words about my comic.


The Stone Age is very rarely depicted and at the same time associated with many stereotypes. However, its advantages are very unique and that is why I decided to set the action of my comic in this era. The most developed culture of the Stone Age and the one that has been developing the longest is the culture of the South American Indians, which I am very interested in. I took a lot of inspiration from it, even though the comic book is not set there and takes place in earlier times. I did this because we don't really know many things about the Stone Age, because the main material used back then was wood, which was biodegraded and it is impossible to determine exactly what was created then. However, we have very interesting things made of stone and bone that have survived. The most interesting of them is a short sword blade made of stone found in Europe. This blade was probably attached to a wooden sword, much like the macuahuitl clubs of South America. I will also show you a club inspired by Maquahilt, which I made for myself from wood and epoxy resin and decorated with string, imitation crocodile skin and parrot feathers.


People of that time were very good at processing wood, bones and stones, making ropes from plants, taming animals and producing artificial tar used as glue. They were also as intelligent as we are now, but having much less knowledge about the world, they looked at it differently, with much more humility, also because they were not limited by the knowledge of civilization.

I find this view of the world charming and hopeful. There were no rulers, kings or money then. Religion was only slowly emerging, and people often believed in superstitions, which in my comic book are an element that is both real and fantastic. Even though there will be fantasy elements, the fights will most often focus on realism, because I am interested in sword fighting arts. Many of the characters you will meet will be inspired by mythological characters from various cultures around the world.

The whole story is a somewhat uniform myth about the origins of humanity. I won't spoil the plot, but the subject of the comic book will focus mainly on relationships and their building between the characters and the self-development of consciousness along with the adventures experienced. While reading my comic, you may notice that the drawing style changes a bit over time. This is because when drawing it, I am constantly experimenting, changing and refining the style of my drawings. I do this to achieve the most optimal way of working for me. At the same time, I will not correct the previous pages or unify the comic, because I think it will be an interesting cross-section of the progress of creation.

One of the main characters of the comic is a monster from the Lavakin species. These monsters will be very important in the board game because each player's character will also be a Lavakin. However, I will not describe them in more detail for now, because you will learn more from the comic book and game manuals.

A very important issue is the violence presented in the comic and age restrictions. Namely, there will be some violence in the form of fights, but there will be no blood or wounds. There will also be no nudity depicted. I want this comic to be suitable for older children and teenagers, so I think it can be read by children from about 9 years of age.

Below I will show you illustrations of some important events, most of them not directly depicted in the comic. They will also be the basis for the trailer, which should be released soon. I hope you like my comic, because creating it was one of my big dreams.
