Some stories are sci-fi, some are fantasy, and some are even based on mythology. The important thing is that these are all inspired by the daily sketches made by philtomato and bloodsplach. One sketch per day, one story per day.
The result is the collection you're reading right now. It's black and white, it's raw, it leaves ink stains on your fingers.
WARNING: 'Machima ic' is not suitable for children.
