Steampunk fantasy comic panel of Alice and Cheshire Cat visiting a cursed blade and shadow magic shop
This warm, moody illustrated comic page titled Freaky Fridays follows a steampunk version of Alice as she visits a surreal specialty shop run by a top-hatted Cheshire Cat, horned tiefling cursed blacksmith, and elven shadow laundress. The art uses rich brass, teal, and deep purple tones with vintage storybook comic styling, full of playful eerie dialogue and dark fantasy worldbuilding. The tone is whimsically uncanny, leaning into magical takes on consequence and regret.
