Gryphon jousting, the premier sporting event in Spathi (besides gladiatorial combat)!
Here's some more music to put you in the tri-annual guild faire mood~
note: this music is from Monster Rancher 2, one of my favorite games of all time and is referenced in this page with Arka's gryphon Ghoulshine (a name of an enemy monster from one of the tournaments)!

Hey there monster lovers!! Hope everyone's doing OK, I'm just fine and working on the last bit of SWORD KINGS #1 before it gets sent to the printer! Just wanted to do a bit of a check in with what I'm working on this week and just to provide sort of a comment space for potential changes to the Patreon page here.
Note: All finished comic pages will be uploaded on the Digital Archive tier ($15) on a weekly basis. If you want to archive binge the comics, please pledge to that tier and foll...

I'm going at a faster rate than Weekly WIPs can allow for on this project, so I'm posting a few more times until the end of Sword Kings #1 ;^>
enjoy some music to set the mood for this scene~
Other news: Since the latest poll was mostly in favor of just seeing the comics instead of me posting the scripts for the books, I'll stick to just the comics for now.
Your feedback is appreciated...

it's real horney hours here in terato tarot land lol.
Justice is a Seraph, and The Moon is represented by Ox-Head and Horse Face AKA the gatekeepers of hell in Japanese mythology.

Hi monster lovers! I have an interesting poll for you today: Would you want the Scripts for the stories posted so you can read where the stories are going?
These scripts would be mostly for ACE OF BEASTS and SWORD KINGS, and other story-based comics (the One-Shots would only be included if they had story-based scenes, like SPHINX).
I may also be writing / discussing some story SPOILERS for details ahead of the current comic pages in the same or other Text posts.

Fire can come in all kinds of colors, with blue generally being a hotter fire than orange/yellow flames. Green means there is copper burning in the fire - science!
The Two of Fire is represented by the discovery of a Salamander, and the Four of Fire is a Nightmare (hell horse) coming to a halt. This deck is more primal-based and the symbolism is rooted in the actions of the monsters rather than representational objects.

I probably put up page 18 before in this sketch state, but here's the finished sketches for the other three pages I'm currently working on! {:^D
Other news (which I might repeat in it's own post along with other stuff so it's not lost in the feed):
- Beefcake Bakery: The cake has a nice sponge is in print! It is expected to be delivered to me by November 3rd, and as soon as I get it, I can send it out to $20+ patrons {:^>

The lamassu (or shedu) is a man-faced, bearded, winged bull-type sphinx usually at the gate of many kingdoms. Here he is held back by string that is easily escaped, symbolizing a situation or mindset that is holding the querant back but is easily solvable.

I thought it might be fun to show pages with very different stages of being done today~ Featuring SWORD KINGS #1 pages 18, 19, 20, and 21.
Terato Tarot cards:
Four of Fire - Nightmare (fire horse) - although I went with a more zebra-inspired design because I love zebras /// Here he is stopping to rest temporarily, considering the road ahead.
Eight of Wind - Lamassu / Shedu - a handsome bull-type sphinx who realizes that the things that bind him are easily escapable.

no, that's not the title of a third BB lol! Rather, I'm finishing Beefcake Bakery: The cake has a nice sponge with both greyscale and line art only pages because I think they look pretty fantastic! It's nice to just appreciate the artistry put into the line art on my work and I think it's a good fit for this book.
The explicit scene of Ramzi with werewolf Heru will be in full greyscale since I rendered the first page that way ;^>
