About

Serpent Song is a project I began several years ago as a world-building exercise, and the design work eventually became my senior thesis at the Columbus College of Art and Design. The goal was to build a unique fantasy world from scratch, and bring some new diversity to the genre.

Fantasy fiction can be so much more than medieval knights, dwarves, dragons, and elves. In a genre where anything is possible, I wanted Serpent Song to be a playground for the bizarre and unexpected. A place to explore all my favorite themes as a kid. Prehistoric wildlife, alien creatures, mythological beasts, spaghetti westerns, southeast Asian/middle-eastern/and Indian folklore, and all manner of otherworldly landscapes.

Stheno is my attempt to bring a new type of monstrous female character to the world of comics, as well as many other characters that deviate from conventional gender roles. Diversity is what makes comics such a vibrant medium, and I wanted Serpent Song to add new LGBT+ representation to the fantasy genre.

It’s a story about exploration, friendship, spirituality, self-discovery, and most of all, monsters. This series has been a labor of love for many years, and I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have making it :>
