I hope you enjoyed the beginning of a new chapter! It was an absolute behemoth of a chapter on my end (17 pages, 4 new characters, 3 flashbacks, 2 new locations, and a partridge in a pear tree!) and I didn't know if it would be possible to finish it all in time for today, but I made it work. Last Summer this many pages would have taken me 2 and a half months, so I was thrilled that I was able to finish them in just under six weeks.
For those of you who haven't seen on Instagram, I am participating in an art competition called Top OC. It's like kind of like Next Top Model for original characters. It's mostly for fun, but it will mean a lot of non- or semi-canon Phoenix and Ollie content if you want to see more of them between these comic updates. My Instagram is @theoreticallyartsy if you want to check it out!
*Death's Apprentice has been rebooted! This version will remain up for archival purposes but is no longer being updated. The current version can be found under my profile or on my website, at https://www.sincerelytheo.art/deathsapprentice.
____________________________________________________
Phoenix Wren wants 3 things:
1. To spend time with his best friend, Ollie;
2. for his town to accept him even without the magical apprenticeship everyone except him received when they came of age;
3. and for people to actually see him as a boy, the way he knows he is.
All of that goes out the window when he nearly dies and wakes up face-to-face with the Grim Reaper, a figure that he wasn't sure was even real until then. Turns out he had an apprenticeship after all-- just not one that he ever wanted.
Now Phoenix has to learn the ropes of this strange new job, try to find his way back home to Ollie, not to let any ghosts (or anything else) blow up in his face, and figure out why in the Gods' names he even got chosen for this in the first place.
Warning: this comic contains death and fantasy violence. This was probably evident from the title but I wanted to make sure I had my bases covered.
