Issue 10 (so far).

New post!

This is the beginning of an exciting new era for Humanity Lost, it has all been culminating to volume 3 and oh boy is there a lot coming up in this volume.

Read the previous issues of Humanity Lost right here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cgjfd0yr2eowa0qcvvdac/AIWJAtI9igOi6ONZQ0rdv2I?rlkey=yt8242hwwiei...

Just 3 days till Volume 2 is released, I’m so hyped! Anyway, I’ll be back with the colours for this one soon, I’ll try and get it all done tomorrow. I need to try and build my workflow back up to where it was.

Page 287.

Sorry about the wait on this page, it took me a hot second to get back into the swing of things with producing actual comic book pages again. I’ve been so used to working on infographics lately and formatting volume 2. Speaking of which, I received the physical copies the other day, I’ve included some photos of that in this post, I’m honestly so pleased with them. I have noticed a few things that need to be touched up here and there though, so I’m going to make those corrections befor...

We’re back, we’ve never been so back. The script is complete, volume two is primed for release on the 1st of May and volume 3 of Humanity Lost has just begun!

Here’s the line-work for the first page of issue 10 and also volume 3, it’s crazy to think how far we’ve come and that we’re already on the third volume of Humanity Lost, it’s honestly mind blowing! I’ll be back real soon with the coloured version of this page.

If you’re new around here and you want to catc...

Update.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you a little update regarding how things are progressing with Humanity Lost volume 2 and 3. Volume 2 is completely edited and formatted for release, and we are green for release on the 1st of May 2025. The writing of volume 3 has been going great too. When I say writing, it has already been written in broad strokes, but what I’m doing now is zooming in on each scene narratively and refining it to have more detail. That’s just part of the process of how ...

Wormholes & Norns (+competition winners & major announcement!).

📣 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Humanity Lost Volume 2 will be releasing on the 1st of May 2025! Yes that’s right, the day is nearly upon us! With this page, work on the second volume of Humanity Lost has finally concluded. I was going to include one final infographic on the Tandrax but I figured I could include all of the content that would have been in that in the pages of volume 3. Speaking of volume 3, I will begin working on that on Monday, so you won’t ha...

The fall of the Yarkeenian Empire.

Sorry about the wait on this one, but the good news is there’s only two more segments to go before the release of volume 2. I’m going to select an official release date soon which is exciting. Once the second volume is out, we can get straight into volume 3 here on Patreon.

Here’s the text from this two page spread for your ease of reading:

“All empires fall, and the Yarkeenian Empire was no exception. Their once-mighty dominion, spanning from where the Orion-Cygnus Spur ...

Baron Janudua, a character profile.

Here’s the text from the post:

“Before talking of Janudua the man, it is worth firstly reminding the reader of the species from which he descends and the Empire that united his race under a common banner. Kolaxans are a spirited race who are driven strongly by their heightened emotionality. They are filled with a passion for the Kolaxan form, health, art, music, vitality, and they worship the fires of youth. Because of this, an aged Kolaxan who has clung to their years by sidesteppi...

Art for the Janudua section.

Hey guys, sorry about the long wait on the next section, I’ve still got to do a little more art for the first page in the section before I can post it, this art of two Kolaxan warriors in battle is for the second page in the Janudua character profile. The Janudua character profile will be similar to the Wizard character profile where we’ll learn more about the man and the events in Humanity Lost history that he was involved in.

It’s also 17 degrees today in England and it’s the...

The Wizard character profile.

Here’s the text from all three pages for ease of reading:

The Wizard (part 1 of 4).

Hey guys, I originally wanted to wait until I had all of the pages on the wizard complete, but the scope of the section on him just kept expanding. I realised that because of the wizard’s long life, I could tell a bit more of the history that led up to the events of Humanity Lost through him. I also wanted to produce some more artwork depicting snapshots of what I’m describing in the text. That is adding to the page count, of course, because it’s pushing the text onto the next page, but...

Humanity Lost new lore mega post.

New infographic mega post!

Here’s the text so that it’s easier for you to read:

“The United Earth managed to keep the Conglomerate message from reaching its citizens eyes and ears, but beyond its borders in the various nation states that managed to hold on to their sovereignty, it was received loud and clear. This five year warning emboldened certain groups within these nations who saw it as a chance to take advantage of the chaos while the United Earth was in a state of con...

Doggerland.

New inforgraphic post!

Here it is, the long awaited Doggerland update post.

Here’s the text from the page, so that you don’t have to keep zooming and swiping:

“The inhabitants of Doggerland called themselves the Ingwine. This name was drawn from the earliest surviving references to their forebears, notably Tacitus’ Germania and Pliny the Elder’s Natural History, which describe three broad Germanic groups living in what was then Germania: the In...

The Earth.

I’m back! Thanks for waiting so patiently while I had my little 2-week paternity hiatus. It’s busy work being a new dad, and I didn’t get much in the way of work done, naturally. I would have liked for the next post to be a big mega post that was connected to the timeline in my last post, but I didn’t get anywhere near as much done as I would have liked. The mega post was going to contain two maps and carry on the narrative from the timeline. That will be happening still, but I figure...

Something wonderful has happened

We’ve only just met her and we both love her so much. She’s so cute, just look at how small her fingernails are compared to mine. Meet Rose Ellinor Diggle, she’s a perfectly healthy baby girl. Thank you so much for all of the kind messages on the last post, I really appreciate you all.

Update.

Hello all, something wonderful has just happened, my wife has gone into labour with our first child! This is such an exciting time in both of our lives and I can’t wait to meet our little girl, this does however mean a delay for upcoming pages, but I’m sure you understand. I’m going to go on a two week paternity, but I’ll do a little bit of work here and there where I can so that what I’ve been working on is finished for when I come off paternity leave. This next entry to the infogr...

The Humanity Lost Timeline.

Here’s a brief overview of the timeline for Humanity Lost, you could of course in theory zoom into any one of the centuries shown here and find thousands more important events that couldn’t be listed due to a limitation of space and the scale of text. There are some major nuggets of lore in here that I’ll likely expand upon later.

My apologise on the wait, this took a long time to organise in my head before even putting it to the page to arrange it all together. Let me know what...

Update.

Sorry that I don’t have anything to show just yet, but I have been getting a lot of important stuff done. While working on this Kolaxan Empire and Baron Janudua character profile, I found myself pulling at a thread. There is a map of the Orion-Cygnus arm (the place all events in Humanity Lost take place) in this section on the Kolaxan Empire that shows the borders of the various powers as they existed before the arrival of the Imperium. I got to calculating the distance between certain poin...

Map of the Milky Way (updated).

Here’s the updated map of the Milky Way. I’ve now got to tinker around with the KDP file and update the print version of Volume 1 so that I can replace the old map with the new one. Like I said before, if you’ve already bought volume 1 physically you’ll have an opportunity to own the updated map in volume 2 because I’m going to include it there also, you’ll basically just own a rare printed edition of volume 1. Once I’ve done that, I’ll get back to working on the infographics ...

Introducing, the Aoe.

It’s not often that we get to see a new intelligent species introduced into the pages of Humanity Lost, but today is one of those days. This infographic will tie in with the next few pages about the history of the Kolaxan Empire and the life of the figure known as the Baron Janudua.

But before I can get to that, I need to do something pretty big. I’ve realised that I’ve made a bit of a mistake with the galactic map in the last volume and I need to update it. Sorry, I know people h...

The Imperium.

This is an old infographic from Volume one, but I couldn’t seem to find it on my Patreon page. I must have forgotten to post it, or if I did then I forgot to tag it and add it to collections so that it’s easy to find, either way, here it is again.

Over-Father Powers.

Sorry about the wait on this one, that top panel took a hot minute to make.

Infographic pages for volume 2 of Humanity Lost.

Here’s a collected post to make your reading of all of the lore that will be appearing at the end of the published physical copy of Volume 2 more convenient. I’ll continue to update this post and release pages individually on the Patreon too so that you don’t miss any updates.

This is the new pinned post on my Patreon page so you’ll be able to access everything right here like a one-stop-shop for everything Humanity Lost. You can also tap on the collections tab to find the rest...

Psionics, Eternal inflation & the All-Mothers pocket universe.

I’ve decided that I’m going to create a new pinned post soon collecting all of the Infographics together, but I figured I’d carry on posting the individual pages like this so that people don’t miss the updates. Here’s the latest entry in that series, I’m going to be carrying on with this theme to discuss how Over-Father “powers” work, then we’ll be hopping over to some different material like the fall of the Yarkeenian empire and their battle against their own super intellig...

The World Tree.

Happy new year! 🥳

This isn’t all I have to say on the World tree, this is just the first segment on it that continues on from the previous infographics explaining the various alternate universes that exist in Humanity Lost. Next I’ll be going deeper into the World Tree, psionics, the All-Mothers pocket universe and more.

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to say this on a post, but I couldn’t quite manage to get it done in time for Christmas. I’m going to be going up north for a few days starting tomorrow for a big family get together, but I’ll be back on the 27th. Sorry that I haven’t been able to put the PDF for issue 9 together yet, I’ve had a lot on with Christmas just around the corner and all, but I’ll get that done as soon as I’m back in the office. For now though I’m going to enjoy Christmas with my family. Mer...
