finalizing the greyscale color scheme so that it presents a light mood~ Also added titles to each page so you know if it's part of a series of connected pages.
Beefcake Bakery is the new title of Mythical Men Plus Monsters because 1. I couldn't remember it lol and 2. it was wordy 3. It was confusing and 4. Beefcake Bakery implies what it actually is, as in a selection of sweet, bite-sized snacks of handsome goodness {:^> ///

Osric is the handsome of the week so I looked over Knight of Alanoc to make sure he looks OK, lol. There were small adjustments but they're now fixed.
Doing layouts for Knight of Alanoc's new pages and let's just say there's more than 20... lmao. Some of them are done, so not to worry. The new pages do a lot for showing Xerxes and Osric's thoughts on each other, the world, their values, their backstories (without revealing too much, we need something for Ace of Beasts ;3)

A little glimpse into the process for making a new cover ;^> Usually I don't put up the scrapped versions of the final covers unless it gets changed late in production (i.e. after it's been inked), but for the new book Sphinx, I happened to have the scrapped and final version on the same page lol.
The one on the left matches my other covers in that sort of 'they're going to get it on in most of this story' way, but the one on the right captures more of the vibe of the story, in that ...

As more characters get drawn for the stories in a shared universe, the need eventually arises to make a height chart lmao. I may add to it later but here's what I have of most of the named characters.
I should probably print this somewhere for myself ... lol
Please enjoy! Enlarge to see the full experience.

this one needs work for me to like him, but I do like his design!
this called for: heterochromia, short height, and a unique look.
I have a written personality that's floating around in need of a design, and a design (this one) thats in need of a personality, but they are so opposite they wouldn't fit together haha.
at this point it seems like I'm going to have to do an exclusively ojisan-themed book ;^> I think I'll work that in this month haha.

birds take dust baths to regulate oil levels in their feathers and have a healthy plumage! some creatures also take dust baths to cool off. Ravi wants to look pretty and cool off but sometimes it means dusty cuddles lol

he is a mischievous one! ;3 thinking of an explicit one-shot for him, or maybe for him to appear in Sword Kings as part of an 'episode' .. I could even put him in Ace of Beasts .. hmm ... /// I like his design a lot and I'll have to write him in a role to match~
there's something about him that is very nostalgic... I think the color palette reminds me of old games I like.

I had always been conflicted over whether Lily should be pink or blue, but now she is both lol. When I did the Tarot Card Deck, I had to make her features more visible and I solved this dilemma by making her face area a bit of a different plumage color. In the comics, her face has now been blushed peach, like a lovebird {:V
If you're wondering about her size changing slightly, she can get a little bigger or smaller due to being a magical creature {:^>c

olive oil mess just waiting to happen lol
Xerxes makes his lunch, which has the same ingredients as Osric's charcuterie, but is much fancier. Osric remarks positively on his cooking skill but even though Xerxes offers him some of his food, Osric declines. He secretly wishes he will leave him some leftovers though...
It may seem like a frivolous scene but it gives greater meaning to the later scene when Osric lets Xerxes cook for him. He is 'letting him in', metaphorically though f...

Hey monster lovers,
I've been getting a lot of deleted pledges saying that they don't like what I'm putting on Patreon. I wanted to know what specifically was the matter? And if you had any solutions?
What I could do:
- I can reduce my output of WIPs or eliminate them completely in favor of weekly 'finished page' updates.
- I can opt to not show story-heavy scenes and just post NSFW
- I can not show any of the 'heavier' emotional scenes in ACE OF BEAS...

Wood incense burns and the moon grows brighter. Xerxes, who is now an adult, has been summoned to the ceremonial chamber to receive his Marking of Strato. This mark is magic-based and will cover his body as he spends more time in the Sect, turning him into a physical manifestation of their god. As soon as he was given the mark, he came as a result of the new magic of Strato coursing through him. The statue of Strato watches in the last panel as the High Priests finalize the ritual.

Xerxes recalls how he was bullied throughout his childhood and adolescence while he grew up in the Sect of Strato. He was mainly attacked by Oraia, who had always been jealous of Xerxes' (accidental) alignment with all the attributes Strato favored, especially his naturally red hair. Oraia dyed his hair red and wore the most traditional-looking Sect clothes... even going so far as to mimic the Markings of Strato with paint on his skin even before he got them in adulthood, all to gain favor wi...

osric - sword swallower, introspective man, ready for love
xerxes - sword protector, good listener, ready to love too
lily - loafing
over the years, people have told me negative things and used all kinds of slurs towards xerxes and ramzi for being differently abled. I think given all the magic and all the different kinds of species of monster and whatnot allowed to exist in fantasy, it's a shame a lot of people still have an aversion to reading stories with characters unlike...
