And so it begins!
I’ve been working on Bird Boy for almost a year now. It began last year in a class back at RISD, where I drew a comic called “Little Warrior, Big Hunt”, which featured a little boy in a big bird mask, trodding through the snow with his arms full of swords. Ten minutes after I drew it, I tossed it! The assignment was a week long, and the comic was supposed to be short. I ended up with a two page comic about a bear, but the little bird boy stuck in my head. I knew I wanted to put him in a story, but it couldn’t just be a one shot: he had too many things to get done! And so began the 10 months of figuring out just what this little guy’s story was.
When I was working on the promo/cover page for Volume I, I randomly chose the date of October for an official start, and it felt like it was really far off! And now here we are. I needed to have a solid deadline to work towards. And back in the spring I had no idea if I would hit that date or not. I even began pitching Bird Boy at Comic Con last summer without even having an outline written out! Or any pages drawn or anything. Just a bunch of character sketches and “It’s about a boy…” But I knew if I didn’t I might keep putting it off.
And then, suddenly, it was ready. And I’m so glad I spent all the time I did to really push myself and make it great. Because at the end of the day, I wanted to give every person who read this something more. Something to really hold onto. And I will continue until I have achieved just that.
Please enjoy this story, my friends.
So exciting!! A very nice first page. Can’t wait to see more of this!
Thanks!
This is off to a fantastic start - next Friday can’t come soon enough!
Thank you! Yes, let’s see if I can actually keep this up beyond one page XD
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES YES YES YES YE-*cough*
Okay, right, love the page, I’m so excited, but you’ve known that for a while so I’m going to go back to babbling incoherently. <333
Heheee XD
Thank you again for your help on the website, too. Couldn’t have done it without you! Gift art is on it’s waaaay

Oh boy, this is looking cool already! Are you going to be using a lot of your characters from your Deviantart page in this comic?
Thanks, glad you think so! And yes, most of those characters were made for this comic, so they’ll definitely be appearing sooner or later.
Props to that! Excited to see how this turned out.
I dropped a small pimp for this on my site. Will probably add a link on the links page once I have some more time.
Oh yaaay! Thank you so much for the plug.
My pleasure!
Love your style, I’ve been waiting for the first page
Looks promising, I’ll be sure to follow this one!
Thankee!
I’m so excited! I’ve been following your other comic for a few months and looking at all your art on deviantart. I love your style and especially your colour palette. Fantastic! I can’t wait to read this.
Thanks a lot! I love hearing from people who have been reading Cealdian and are now excited about this one too
