Limited Release
To celebrate our newest release, we invited DnD_draws, the artist behind the cover to share the story of the world he is building.
The World Came First
Before the characters. Before the story. Before I even knew what I was building — the world came first.I started with a question I couldn't stop thinking about. What if the things you feel weren't just invisible? What if they existed — right there, alongside you, seen by everyone?
That question became Huri.
Huri is a world that looks and breathes like something familiar. The streets carry weight. The people carry history. And beneath all of it runs a system — not of governments or armies, but of emotion. In Huri, what you feel can manifest as something living. Something real. Something that cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try.
They're called Nare.
A Nare isn't a superpower. It isn't a weapon. It's the truest expression of your internal state — the part of you that exists whether you want it to or not. Some people learn to live with theirs. Some spend their whole lives trying to suppress it. And some discover that the world has been quietly, deliberately trying to erase it.
This is the world Duke grows up in. A young artist arriving at campus for the first time, carrying more than just his bags. He comes from Kutano — a place where Nare are understood as something sacred. He arrives in Nyirobi, where they are monitored, classified, and controlled.
He arrives performing. Confident on the outside. Something else entirely underneath.
That's where the story begins.
About the person making this.
I'm DnD_draws. I'm an artist still figuring out what that means.
I've been drawing for as long as I can remember — but telling a story this big, this personal, this mine? That's new territory. And I won't pretend it isn't terrifying.
FRESHA is semi-autobiographical. I'll leave it at that for now. What I will say is that this story exists because I finally stopped waiting for permission to tell it. Because I spent a long time making work for other people's approval and not enough time making work that was true.
I'm making this comic for every artist who has a story sitting inside them that they've convinced themselves isn't worth telling. The one that feels too personal, too niche, too risky, too much.
It's worth telling.
Your story is worth telling.
FRESHA is me proving that to myself — one chapter at a time. I hope it does something for you too.
