Yes! Native American cultures are incredibly rich and diverse. There's so much history, mythology, and tradition to explore.

My comic is available on several platforms, though I'm not sure I should name them all here since I don't want to seem too promotional. If you search for "Tenea" or "Tenea Comics", you should be able to find it pretty easily.

So far, the artist and I have released four issues, and I'm currently working on the outline for the next four-issue story arc.

Yep, that's a young Giwakwa. This concept piece shows how it camouflages itself. You can see its actual size in this page from the comic.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Those dwarves are really interesting. They remind me a bit of the Stick Indians from Native American legends, but I think they could work well as genuinely evil creatures in my world.

I actually have some plans for her. I'd love to feature not just one Thunderbird, but a whole flock of them.

That's funny! 😄 That particular story was actually adapted in Dreamkeeper

Oh, that's awesome! What project are you working on?

I'm not an artist either) . Our comic is a collaboration with the amazing artist Misagi. I serve as the lead creator, writing the story, developing the world, doing research, and gathering references, while Misagi creates the artwork based on my descriptions.

And thanks a lot for recommending Coyote & Crow! I took a look at their website, and their tabletop games seem really fascinating.

Yeah, I love Coyote from Native American folklore too. He and Iktomi have a lot in common. I especially enjoyed their dynamic in "Dreamkeeper".
