"...he went chop chop."
"CHOP CHOP, dude!"

Day 23 - Sacred
"I don't know what it is that drives me to follow him. I'd like to believe it is Koth Herself that pulls me on this path, but I feel... like there is something greater. Greater than my faith, greater than us, greater than everything we know... There's only so much I can hold on to, you know."

Day 22 - Expensive
"Of all the things I ever owned in this life, of all the jewelry and pretty dresses I was given, of all the titles and meanings my life has had... none are as valuable as him. He is more precious than the rarest jewel. I would burn all of the most expensive dresses and destroy the most valuable furniture this palace has if it meant I could keep him forever. He is... perfect. My sweet little butterfly..."

Day 21 - Pebble
"Mh? What'd you find, lad? Oh! What a lucky find. Better keep those things around, you could trade it for something of high value. Just one is worth at least three ruk'ts. Looks like there's a bunch here. Huh. You might bring me more luck than I imagined, kid."

Day 20 - Breakable
"I'm sure you can understand what I feel, Mister Artur. We all think at one point that we're invincible. We're untouchable. Unbreakable. I became reckless, and paid the price. I broke. And now I spend my days helping those who are as broken as I am. Don't do like this cursed bird, Mister Artur. The gods will find a way to break you, too."

Day 19 - Scorched
[...] "His Core almost escaped today. Somehow, his stardust pierced through Sir Arthur’s dust shield keeping his universe inside his shell, and were it not for Lai’s quick reflexes, I think… we would have lost him. He is highly unstable, what remains of his body is cold, lifeless, and at times, I don’t think he’s even breathing… I will not lie, this is all very stressful for all of us. Everyone is on edge. I am keeping an eye ...

Day 18 - Bottle
"Sometimes, I feel that if I were to be put inside a bottle, I wouldn't even mind it. Cut off from the outside world, I could just sit and observe. A small tree to sit under, fresh grass under my feet, flowers growing around me. A bubble of glass. Silence. A small fairy in a bottle."
Thanks again AK for suggesting the aesthetic idea for the word Bottle! I would otherwise have used something else. xD

Day 17 - Swollen
"Don't get me started on those horrendous things. These freaks of nature shouldn't even exist. I'm surprised you haven't spotted one yet, they tend to crawl around everywhere. I guess we are in a safe place, but still, you never know. What are they? The Zara are creatures heavily mutated and swollen by Corruption. Don't be fooled; though they were once people and animals, they aren't anymore. They're nothing but mindless beasts, empty h...

Long overdue next tutorial! I always get questions about how I paint my galaxies, so hopefully this covers most of it. If you've got questions, feel free to ask!
This was done using one of my Smaugust drawings.

Day 16 - Deep
"They say there's a kind of Ehas that lives in the ocean's depths. The sea covers most of the world, you know. There's only the Great Continent and the Isles, all the rest is infinite water. There's gotta be a bunch of crazy birds out there who thought it was a good idea to move deeper. Maybe they thought they could escape the Corruption down there? Who's to say, really. Mh?

Day 15 - Weak
Meta Knight heaved an unhidden sigh as he slumped his way through town, his step heavy. Cicadas were crying in the distance, so loudly they seemed to be echoing in his head, and the sun’s rays were so strong, one could see heat waves emanating from the stone pavement. The knight stopped for a moment and looked around; just off to the side of the road, he spotted a large tree with a bench in front of it, and he couldn’t lie, the tree’s shadow ...

Whose branches keep ticking

And restarts
Time keeps going

Day 13 - Guarded
"On that fateful day, I made an oath. I would protect my brother and my land, no matter the cost. No matter what abominations I have to face. My body is their shield, and my sword is their strength. Together, we stand as one. My brother is my life, Ser Artur. If he trusts you... then so do I."

Day 12 - Whale
Artur squealed as he ran up to the bulwark, and Mask turned to see what got the boy's attention, and a smirk found its way to his beak. Winged Whales were following the ship's course off to the side; they were singing together as they flew, and Mask could even see a few of them beneath the waves, their fins piercing the surface here and there. Artur looked back at him, looking both amazed and confused, and Mask walked up to the spot next to him. 2018-10-11 18:23:35 +0000 UTC View Post
Day 11 - Cruel
[...] Mask approached the fallen beast, whose breath was short and pained as it struggled to crawl away. It tried to escape by dragging its bloodied abomination of a body across the floor, but Mask stepped up next to it and halted its course by grabbing its head in his talons, receiving a gurgly gasp as a response. Its small and pale eyes raised up to look at him; it was as if in its last moments, it had retreived a sense of what it once was... Bu...

Day 10 - Flowing
Alone, she tried to stand, but couldn't.
Alone, she tried to hold, but couldn't.
Alone, she tried to watch, but couldn't.
Life keeps flowing, like a stream.
She was here to watch it go by.
Such was the fate of a Kiridan.
Stand. And watch.
Neither a Kiridan nor an Arranzan.
She could only let herself be taken by the currents. 2018-10-10 16:03:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Day 09 - Precious
And up at its maker it looked, new and young eyes opening to the world it would soon grow to protect. The statue spoke gentle words, Her voice a soothing lullaby on the winds, and the Eye clutched its shining orb tightly, awakening to its new purpose. Watch and protect. Watch... and protect.

Day 08 - Star
"Artur."
The young pale one turned back to look at Mask, who had stopped in the middle of the road. He stood there, head raised toward the heavens; he gestured Artur to come closer, which the boy did obediently. Once he stood next to him, Mask pointed a claw up to the sky.
"Look. This is a rare spectacle. The clouds of Corruption are clearing up... You can see the stars."
Artur raised his head as well......

Day 07 - Exhausted
With short, sharp and wheezing breaths, the Rakureh trudged his way through the forest's thick foliage, his leg stinging with every step. The wound had started bleeding again despite his best efforts at keeping it clean, and he could feel his own blood dripping down the length of his leg. His stomach cried for pain again, this time with such violence that he bent over in two until the pain slightly faded; at least, enough for him to keep going...

Day 06 - Drooling
As Artur was silently studying his runes by the light of the fire that night, he suddenly heard a sound that made him raise his head out of his concentration; it was a snore. Mask was sleeping soundly against his rock, so soundly in fact that Artur could quite clearly see the rather generous veil of saliva oozing out of his slightly opened beak. The boy held his chuckles in; if only he could take a picture of this. Mask would be so ups... 2018-10-05 16:55:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Day 05 - Chicken
As the sun was setting that day, Sarry was guiding the ruk'ts back into the barn to tuck them in for the night. Most of them were very hungry, so she hurried and opened the doors wide, walking in first as the beasts followed behind, each walking toward its own nest. As the stable master was about to grab a pitchfork, she noticed that the barn wasn't as empty as she thought it was; she spotted her son, Drago'nck, laying against a pile of hay. Thr...

Now I am dead
And the priest cursed with dread"

"Artur, did I ever tell you I fell a corrupt Dragon before? It was terrorizing a whole region in Northern Lotlein, burning down every house tree it came upon and leaving dozens of families homeless. Rillaya pestered me to go and help because her sister lived there. Aah, I'll never forget it, it was a fight of the ages! The thrill of fighting a mighty beast! Wish you could have seen it! ...What?

Day 02 - Tranquil
Sitting back against the rock behind him, Mask brought his smoking pipe to his beak. Silently, he observed his brother as he stepped into the pond that stretched before them. The Zorianos region was chuck full of beautiful little paradises like this one, where water seemed to flow from every direction from the cliffs above, and now, they had this one just for themselves.
As he watched Artur tentatively step into the deeper waters...

The Masked One sighed as he finally reached the top of the hill. His legs were tired from the long journey on foot, but it was worth it; he was now rewarded with a view over a valley stricken with twisting rivers, hills and stone bridges, all intertwined and leading to their destination. In the distance, the mountains of the Upper Back of Iznugia rose before him, their tall peaks towering over the land below. Tucked between the mounts, the Izn’ck could s...

Hey there!
There was a slight change of plan in my comic; a scene that I had planned to put later was moved to be the first scene to happen in the comic, as a sort of prologue that would work better to introduce the story of the comic. Hopefully it makes it a lot more interesting for a beginning!
Also, I have made some maps for Bound Fates! Those two were made using Inkarnate, which is a map making website to help creators make their worlds, and I gotta say, it makes for a nice base. I w...
