May I introduce you to my 24 year old passion project.
First imagined when I was a Junior in Highschool Trial by Fire featured myself and four friends portrayed as cybernetic superheroes on a space alien slaughtering mission straight out of a 90's comic book. NOW Trial by Fire is the saga of a man who has destroyed the world and crippled the dimensional space through his blind ambition and misguided use of technology.
And here is the crazy hook, the world doesn't get fixed, everything sinks deeper and deeper into oblivion. But, maybe oblivion is a destination? Is all this turmoil the destiny of everything including you and me? Trial by fire is about a team of superheroes struggling to fix what cannot be fixed and failing at every turn.
SO…...what happens when we know our heroes will lose no matter what?
Trial By Fire Primary will begin to explore this question while unlocking an avalanche of others.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
As the years continued I dedicated my time in completing trial by fire as if it were still 1997 meaning no digital drawing, emulating the computer coloring at the time all this to stay true to my vision at that time. My time as an art director honed my skills to build consistency in my product while making everything one a kind and unique. The art direction for TBF is simple. Make this comic book as if the 90’s never slowed down.
