And here is the last batch of this year's SpiderForest Comics of the Week! I'll leave the entire series of posts up on the front page for a week or so. Check them out and see if you find any new favorites!

• Recommend their work to your friends (or your own audience).
• Maybe pledge a couple dollars on their Patreon/Ko-Fi.
• Like and share their posts on social media.
• Send them a nice comment!
A lot of artists are struggling right now. When someone even takes a minute to say, "Hey, I like your art. It made my morning better," that can fuel our motivation for days. ♥

My webcomic collective, SpiderForest, is doing a collaborative promo event where we all help to feature each other's work.
We'll all be highlighting a few comics per week, grouped by theme, so you'll get to see many different genres and styles from week to week. If any of the stories sound like your cup of tea, please check them out!
This week's theme is...
Seek and Ye Shall Find We all seek something... and in our attempt we often find, but not always what was sought at the outset. The Quest of Casey Tailor — The Quest of Casey Tailor is about a kid trying to save his baby sister who was kidnapped by a fairy. He has no idea why, though, and when he runs into problems at the royal palace, seemingly there are more questions than answers. Clover and Cutlass — The daughter of an orc warlord falls for a girl her family wants dead. If they can't stop her parents from ending the world, how's she ever gonna ask her out? Prophet of the Sun — Prophet of the Sun is about a selfish loser trying to dodge the consequences of making a deal with the devil. |
Enjoy!

In other news: I've joined Bluesky, and it's very nice. There are so many great artists to follow!
That's the main place I'll be posting comic updates (and occasional fun sketches) from now on. Come say hi!
And for anyone who wants a super easy way to support the comic: I've created a pinned post to introduce the story to people who might enjoy it. If you'd like to give it a quick repost, that's a great way to help True Magic find new readers. ♥
Thank you for reading!

Okay... hear me out. I know I already recommended dungeon synth in an earlier post. But here's the thing: Since then, I've discovered even more dungeon synth.
All three of these went straight into my daily writing playlist:
Wraith Knight - Deep in the Dungeons of the Dragonlord
Great album name, cover art, and music (especially the title track). A wonderful soundtrack for an epic adventure.
Argonaught - Dark Halls
Ominous and intriguing. It really captures the mood of a classic dungeon crawl, where there may be danger around every corner but you can't help exploring just a little further...
Karma Pylons - Path of the Ancients
Lovely mystical vibes, somehow both chill and energizing. Feels less like a dungeon delve, and more like a sojourn to a magical temple.
This genre has so many hidden gems. ♥
