Working in Hell: the Shade King's Realm

Well that's one hellova way to spend Christmas month -- coloring Gods of Aazurn: Witches. Specifically, the t-a-l-l scene of the Shade King's realm.

He may be Cernunnos to the witches (meaning horned god in Celtic) but he's pretty obviously Satan.

Sort of. Because in the Gods of Aazurn pantheon, there are many personifications of evil. (And, so far, not one represents good.)

So, for the first time anywhere, here below is the Shade King's realm, or, more accurately, a portion of his vast kingdom. We'll get a glimpse of it in chapter one of GOA:W, and its full glory in chapter three (January 2019), but because you are my buddies, below is the whole shebang.

I hope the height of the thing doesn't break the internet. You've been warned.

Most will immediately recognize the influence of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. Where else would I go for an idea of a playground of corruption?

Chapter one, "Prologue: An Ominous Revelation" reached 100 Likes last week! Don't forget, you can Like each chapter separately. If all 23 chapters received 100 Likes this week, we'd be a real contender on Webtoons!

"Welcome to Dunwich" ends today! If you were waiting for the whole free story to be up on Webtoons, NOW is the time to experience it. Livin' for Likes over here!

Take care. Winter (and holidays) can be dangerous.

In glorious service to our Aazurn overlords,
