Shroud of the Avatar: New Beginnings is a comic series by Tortoise & Hare Creations for Shroud of the Avatar.

Summary[edit]

Created by W.O. Billman II (plot, script, and editing) and Indi Martin (pencils, inks, colors, and lettering), New Beginnings tells the story of a corrupt land, where a young farmer and his wife find themselves embroiled in a lethal powerplay with local constables, and seek a fabled escape to a legendary world.^[1]

About the Author[edit]

In 2011, INDI MARTIN became a founding member of Tortoise & Hare Creations, into which she could pour her creative heartblood and - through alchemical equations and dark, rum-based magic - produce stunning projects. Indi is best known for penning the Gina Harwood novels, a series often described as X-Files meets Call of Cthulhu, as well as Dissolution: A Graphic Novel, a mature-content, experimental graphic serial. Indi has supplied paintings for multiple roleplaying supplements, including the Veranthea Codex, Mists of Akuma, and Hypercorps 2099: Wasteland, as well as several video games including The Dark Unknown and Sylph: Project Miyaji. She also has completed several pieces for bands including Baron von Swagger, Sovereign Dame, and most recently the vinyl cover for RECAP's Pronoia. Additionally, she offers her original and fan art prints as well as commissions online and at conventions.^[2]
