The transformation of the Mangrell.

A new page from Stump #2 that I’ve been working on.  This is the very first known transformation of a human being into the Mangrell, which took place around 5,000 years ago in a country that is currently at the bottom of the ocean just off the east coast of North Korea.

I decided to make this sequence a little dark and scary, because you need to feel that the antagonists of any story should be taken seriously.  Especially with a main hero as powerful as Stump.  There is a reason that the entire second issue is devoted to Stump's encounter with the Mangrell.  Still, I did decide to go with abstracted colors just to dial the gruesomeness down a little bit.
