Greek

Posted on December 26, 2018 by Kim

Of all the languages to use for Moira’s magic, I chose Greek. I wanted something that I didn’t commonly see used in horror movies or books. Most authors pick Latin as their casting language. I originally used a font called Miskatonic for Caitlin’s spells but I think with her heritage, it would be better for her to cast in Chinese.

There is still a lot to learn about Moira and her background. This chapter is an important moment in her life. Magical things can happen at crossroads and journeys always take unexpected turns.

Retreading

Posted on December 12, 2018 by Kim

Just a reminder that Salient Caligation updates bi-weekly since I have to budget pages. The next update is scheduled for Dec. 26th! The next page will be the last of the “redraw” pages and from Page 7 will be all new comic content. Nicoy is doing a great job with Moira’s arc so far and on my other comic, Song of Asteria!

A bit on the coven

Posted on November 28, 2018 by Kim

This bit is a bit silly since they are using a dowsing pendant. I imagine it being made of obsidian. The idea is that these people are self-taught abut Wicca from books they found in the library so they are kind of digging for information on magic rather than having a natural inclination towards it. 

Before and after

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Kim
I sat on this script for several years, waiting for Chapter 1 to complete. Before I moved back to the United States, I decided that I would draw the conclusion of Chapter 1 myself. My friend, Zairyo has been working on improving his techniques to draw Chapter 1 for years now but, I wanted closure on the issue. I got stalled myself with moving across the ocean from Japan and starting college courses again. But, I made a good attempt at drawing Chapter 2. I even scheduled it on my Google Calendar to update on Wednesdays. When I started Graduate school, I got overwhelmed between work and school to keep up my updates and stopped at page 6.  To be honest, I deviated from my own script a bit. I like to think that I made a good attempt! But I am quite please with the pages that my friend, Nicoy Guevarra has created from the original script! I am continually please and impressed with Nicoy’s work, She sets a deadline and a schedule and keeps to it. She is easy to work with and I look forward to continuing to work with her. If you noticed, Nicoy is the artist for my other comic, Song of Asteria and she is one of our community artists on Shattered Universe!  If you are interested in seeing Salient Caligation update once a week, please consider donating through the Ko-Fi link to the left or through Patreon for access to early page updates. If you are looking for an artist to commission for projects, please consider contacting Nicoy. =)

Tarot Cards

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Kim
In most tarot interpretations, the Devil can mean a type of change or a person that influences change but it is not inherently a bad card. The details of the full spread that Moira is dealing herself won’t be revealed until later on. The deck that Moira is using the Rider-Waite designs and symbolism. I own several Tarot decks but I felt that using a fairly recognizable deck would be better for possible interpretation.

Here is the first reboot page of Chapter 2 by Nicoy Guevarra! I was sitting on this script for years and I had attempted to draw it myself but couldn’t manage it with my course work. I absolutely love her art style and am glad to have her on the project. Stay tuned for the next update on Halloween! 

Rebooting

Posted on October 3, 2018 by Kim
Here is the cover inspired by the 8 of Swords featuring Moira, as drawn by Nicoy Guevarra based from my original cover of Chapter 2! She is also drawing my other comic project: The Song of Asteria which updates weekly in full color (because there is more funding for it). For those just joining, welcome to Salient Caligation! Those returning might recognize these new pages. =) The next update is 18 Oct! Patrons get a 1 week early release of the newest updates.
