Please tell us more about Asfrith, or the Of Silver Spring setting in general, that art was so beautiful and intriguing, and thereβs so little in the tag! I must know more π
oouuuughhh ;o; i am very shy about sharing original stuff but im trying to be more open about these things.. im very happy you asked!!! of silver spring (oss for short) is the title of a story ive had in my brain for years that i am trying to make Real and Into A Comic. which as it turns out is a lot of work!!! oss follows the story of luka, who more or less wakes up from a 500 year nap and has no idea whats going on.
im trying to think of what i can share about asfrith that wont just be a jumbled mess without full contextβ¦ HMMMβ¦ wellβ¦ in the world of oss, gods are given form & power relative to belief, whether that be in reverence or fear. cities, towns, etc tend to be built around a god's given geographical domain. Back In The Day, these places would either elect or experience Divine Intervention Or Whatever To Choose a single person to commune with their gods. asfrith was one such person (titled warden, elected). luka served a similar role (titled speaker, which is the more common term, and was chosen through Divine Intervention Or Whatever). eventually people realized this was a bad system and abandoned it. in conjunction with the whole God Being Eaten thing, asfrith's city no longer exists as it was swallowed and eroded by a migrating sand dune. asfrith is probably the only person who remembers their god's name nowβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
why luka would hang out with such a villain who would eat godβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.wellβ¦β¦β¦..hopefully everyone will find out when. the comic is made. hahahah (bursts into tears)
also - there is some more oss lore and concept stuff in this digital sketchbook!!! it's free unless you happen to want to pay more than $0 for it, in which case it's not free.
