Here's Another Campaign You'll Love…

In the chilling world of AMOR PATRIS, Sheriff Rees arrives at the Anderson farm, at what he first believes to be routine disturbance, but something far more sinister lurks in the shadows. Rees turns to a local priest for guidance, and the collaboration unearths information about a mysterious father-and-son duo, performing unsanctioned exorcisms across America. 

As Sheriff Rees grapples with the implications of his findings, will he uncover the truth before it’s too late, or will he fall victim to the very evil he seeks to combat?

Welcome New Backers 👋 + Interview with Artist Ninke Naujoks 🎨

Welcome back, Sidequestors!

It's been a bumpy ride for the past few days, and today we're thrilled to welcome some new backers to the campaign!

The more backers we get, the more we can pay out to our phenomenal creators, whose work is what makes the Sidequests Anthology great!

Speaking of those creators, here's an interview with Ninke Naujoks, the artist for "A Spy for the People"!

Ninke Naujoks on Loyalty, Compassion, and Spycraft

Ninke Naujoks (they/them) is a graphic storyteller, comic artist, and illustrator from the Netherlands. They illustrated “A Spy for the People,” written by Emma Olofsson.

Who are your art heroes? Who inspires you?

The artists that inspire me the most are often ones that I know personally. I have been very lucky to be taught by some of the industry’s most wonderful professionals, [who] I now get to call my colleagues as well as my fellow alumni, whose creative minds I got to exchange with on a daily basis during our studies. That sort of exchange of works and ideas, mutual respect between creatives, and the understanding [of] what it is we do, that’s what inspires me the most.

What comic book character do you identify most with, and why?

My pick would probably be a character from one of my all-time favorite comics called Sleepless. It was made by Sarah Vaughn and Leila Del Duca (published by Image Comics). One of the main characters, a knight called Cyrenic, struck a chord for me through the way he is fiercely loyal and fights for what is right, but not through blind loyalty or obedience. Cyrenic chose the paths he thought were wise and stood up for himself, as well as stood by those he cared for. He was proud to be part of the Sleepless Knights, but he didn’t hesitate to go against them when the stakes were at [their] highest. It emulates a lot that I try to live by and how I care for those around me.

Outside of comics, one of the characters I identify with the very most has to be Captain Kirk from the original series of Star Trek. He’s gentle and warm, but respected and decisive. He wants to believe in love and compassion, and he cares deeply for those close to him. He respects his crew, and he is worthy of his title.
