I realize that this is a pretty basic and simplistic page. I struggled for a long time trying to figure out how to make this part of the script look visually interesting; originally, this was going to be another several-panel page (like the previous one), but one of my planned panels was going to be YET ANOTHER landscape shot. I was already getting tired of constantly drawing environments, and I was a bit frustrated with trying to recreate the environment I had chosen to draw in that particular panel. After trying and failing several times, I scrapped the panels entirely and tried to improvise something. It took me an extra three days to figure out what I wanted to do. I like slower-paced pages, so I went for another page with just a single "panel" and tried to make it flow with the script. I'm happy with how this page turned out, but it probably could have gone a little more smoothly.
The world as we know it is wonderful and strange... Add magic into the mix, and things become even stranger! Join two wayward souls from ancient Egypt as they become entangled in perils of all kinds in a world where magic is a very real thing. Friend and foe alike hold the power to destroy everything they hold dear -- even the very fabric of their souls!

The Chronicles of the Crisis is a story over a decade in the making. It is really only just the beginning of an extensive journey into a parallel universe that I have spent years upon years building and breathing life into. It is a love letter not just to ancient Egyptian mythology, but to all stories of cryptids, monsters, and other things that go bump in the night. While the main focus lies upon the two aforementioned Egyptians, there are countless other references to other ancient cultures and legends throughout the story. TCotC is a complex story that might not be for everyone, but it completely captures my love of ancient history and the supernatural.
