Rachel Kahn is an illustrator with a love of heavy metal, megafauna, and mighty-thewed barbarians.

She has her BFA in Visual Art from York University, studied in the Concept Art program at Max the Mutt College of Animation and Design, and currently illustrates and creates concept art for indie and small-press games and fiction. She has a passion for diverse characters and cultures, and loves being given a reason to do research. Kahn is also a self-published cartoonist and exhibiting fine artist.

When not in the studio, Kahn can be found continuing her studies in drawing, painting and local natural sciences. She only started playing tabletop games and reading sword and sorcery stories in her mid-20s, but has loved swords, sorcery and dry wit her whole life.

Tools

Photoshop, watercolours, brush pen and fixed width pens, watercolour paper, pencil, and a high dose of nerdiness.

I know you might all feel a tiny bit sad that By Crom! is over now. However, in a kind of amazing coincidence, I'm able to offer everyone free shipping on By Crom! merch today and through the weekend on Society 6! That means you can take a little piece of this home without having to pay for shipping!

Head on over to my By Crom! collection here and browse for your favourites: https://society6.com/portablecity/collection/by-crom-prints?curator=portablecity

Use code 2V93DVXHTD3N to get free shipping at checkout!

It's happened! By Crom! is now up on Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/899751906/printing-by-crom-the-autobio-comic-with-a-barbaria/dashboard

It will collect all 82 webcomic strips, 5+ cromulent pinups, a paper doll with six outfits AND a four-legged companion, an 8 page comic story, an essay on the inspiration behind By Crom!, artist's commentary on the comic and process, and all the love a single human can put into a book. Snag yours now! All prices are in Canadian, which is, like, pocket change when converted to USD, right?

So it's OFFICIAL, I am putting together a big single-volume collection of By Crom! I'm hoping to have it in hand for the spring convention season!

Right now I'm doing some polls on twitter about what it should look like, so if you want to lend your vote, head on over here and follow along!

Hey friends, I really appreciate all the support you're sending me on here already, but please don't spam folks with my comic! Posting a link to By Crom! on other folks' comics and pages makes me feel uncomfortable. If you want to share it, why not make a personal post on your wall about it?

Thanks again for the support, and thanks for understanding!

Hey friends, I'm starting up By Crom! here on Tapastic! I'm going to be running the comics I've already drawn, so if you're a fan from Tumblr or Weald Comics then these are your old favourites, not new content, but I hope you consider sharing them around so that folks who haven't enjoyed Conan's wisdom can subscribe here and enjoy a little dose of it every day!
