#neverechoesback

Dark fantasy original BL I’m exploring what happens when a psychopath chooses love — and what love does to him.

Prologue + Chapter 2 live on AO3 (free): https://archiveofourown.org/works/75388136

Gair’s POV + uncensored scenes on Patreon: patreon.com/ashbornislet

🐉 Dark legends of the isle of Tolath: betrayal, dragons, the price of power, vengeance, and redemption. No promised happy endings. Only tragedy, blood, and sheer willpower. 🐉

Central story: Tramadir — the cursed elven warrior, his sister Llorana, and the orcish Garra. YA/mature themes (blood, violence, but no explicit sex in the main arcs).

Side legends: - The Legend of Eyri (completed) — a young elf transformed into a dragon and betrayed by his king. - Tariel (ongoing) — continuation of the saga.

Where to read/view: • The Legend of Eyri at GlobalComix • The Legend of Eyri at Webtoon • Patreon (explicit bonuses, Gair’s POV, dark BL elements) • AO3: BL novel Never Echoes Back • Art & animations: right here on Tumblr (search by #tramadir #eyri #ashbornislet #neverechoesback)

I’ve been a professional 2D animator for 15 years — that’s my core skill and what keeps the bills paid. In my day job, I work on other people’s projects where layouts, character designs, and key art are handled by full teams — I’m part of the machine, not the sole creator. For my own passion project — the Ashborn Islet universe — I do whatever it takes to get the stories out fast: - Art for comics is generated with Midjourney as a starting point — and then I refining everything in Photoshop. - Tracing / redrawing over photos, references, or existing images to nail the exact framing, pose, mood, and style I want. - Sometimes drawing from scratch when I feel like it. - Mixing all methods as needed — no “pure traditional artist” rules or pretensions here. I’m not claiming to be a master illustrator or that every line comes straight from my hand without help. I’m a storyteller first: Tramadir, Llorana, Garra, Eyri, Tariel, Rem, Gair — the characters, plots, emotions, world-building, themes — that’s all 100% mine. The visuals are tools, not the art form itself.

Producers said it plain: no audience = no funding for YA animated series. So I’m growing followers first, piece by piece.

This is my dream. I hope you’ll like Tramadir, Llorana, Garra and the rest — they mean a lot to me. Without people who care and help spread the word, none of this will ever become real. If it resonates — reblog, comment, stay. It changes everything 🤍
