Fieldwork is a short comic I wrote and illustrated for my Patreon starting in 2019. It's set in a fantasy world where magic and monsters are sometimes a threat to a world also facing the growing pains of early modern technology. This story has our protagonist, Vera Scordato, rather isolated from the comforts of the modern world as she is doing field work for the Cavalieri, an organization dedicated to combating dark magic and protecting the world from instrusions of Fae and demons. Her routine circuit through outlying forest areas and villages is interrupted by a request to deal with an unusually mischievious bird.
This version of the comic is the same as the version uploaded on Patreon and later Tumblr and Deviantart. A pdf version with slightly edited art and typo correction is available to purchase on itch.io! So if you like what you see here and wanna throw me a few bucks so I can keep on making stories like this, either Patreon or itch.io is a great way to support me!
