Eldritch Horror

Every aberration has an origin story.

I’ve often been asked, “Steen, how did you get to be the gibbering Eldritch horror you are today?”

At last, in this totally factual tell-all autobiography, you can learn the exciting details of my origin.

The Dangers of Phase Contrast Microscopy

“Every time that the person before me left the scope in phase 3, and I forgot to check.”

This honestly happens to me far too frequently, you’d think I would learn to avoid it or something.

I did a cursory scan-and-crop of my 24 Hour Comic, “The Unquiet Grave,” for your reading pleasure.  This was the first time that I had used watercolours in… I don’t know, it must have been 12 years or something like that.  I had recently purchased a combo pack of coloured pencils, pastels, and watercolours.  I was planning on using the pencils, but ultimately decided against that, as it wouldn’t look very much like the Medieval illuminated manuscripts.  I also stole some of Doc’s watercolours 😀
