Scrogles



'Gristlemas is coming, the time of blood and bone...'

Scrogles is a twisted little fairy tale that has been described as Fraggle Rock by Emile Zola. Which is pretty fair.
It follows Oot a Scrogle who is sick of his life farming the treacle tar swamps as a slave of the Weald. His grandfathers death gives him the spur to escape...but he has no where to go. Joining him, against his will, is Weald a... Weald (they're all just Weald, the concepts of names eludes them) who is trying to escape the torments of his tyrannical brother. (Un)together they set off on a journey over the desert wastes to the city of glass and deep into the heart of the swamps to discover the shocking secret that links their races and will destroy their societies forever.

Illustration shows a wood sculpture by artist Amera Mussa which is the basic character design for the plant like Weald.

Scrogles will be appearing as a special edition book soon. ish.
