And (finally, right?) our awesome contender appears. I was really struggling with Moscorn at first (bone structure = ???) but now that I've done more pages with him I really enjoy drawing him. For having only an eye to work with, he's a shockingly expressive character.
The bird motif on (Phantom) Sophia's armor is from a discussion on Mugorivs religion. ~Rillid explained to me that:
"As the Mugorivs worship strength, the animal that they worship most are birds, admiring their ability to break free of Gravity.
In fact, the Mugorivs afterlife myth is that when someone dies, a swarm of birds descends on the body, and each one tears a piece of it's soul away, but only if it's a good trait, such as courage or intelligence or honor. The less desirable traits are left to rot below the ground.
From the soul fragments from several different dead Mugorivs, the flock constructs a nest, from which a new baby is born, inheriting a whole slew of characteristics from possibly hundreds of different warriors, poets, and builders." You can read more about that here: [link]
I have no idea if Moscorn is familiar enough with Mugoriv customs to know this, but I though it was a beautiful image and wanted to include it. I love that Rillid has such richly developed societies for his characters. It gives me so much to draw on!

What does Junus think? Junus thinks he's had enough of this and is going to disappear into the background!
You know, I don't think Oberon is having a good day. Just a guess though. But speaking of which, you keep me guessing at where this is going. I can't wait to see where this leads.

Sorry. I have a bajillion pages still to do, and SO much material is getting left out. Sadly, Junus ended up in a lot of that material. And Cecilia. And Emmei. And Len. And...well, you get the idea.

Sorry? I did an excited squeal and victorious armthrust in the air just seeing him in the first place. It may do with the fact that I was so wrapped up in the story that I forgot Junus existed.... or because you did his long-face right... or a mix of both. But still, don't be sorry.
And yeah, I think that was the hardest part for me was the whole cutting out parts. Not because it was hard to do, but just because it was depressing.

I know. We should go there sometime.
SOOOO....
Grugh, I have so much to say about this page and my dendrites are fried... So I'll try to give you the comment this deserves later. For the time being, suffice to say that I really, really love how you draw Rillid's characters.

Holy Conollies!!
Did NOT see that coming of Oby turning into that!
This is good!!!
I know, he goes so in depth with his characters I love it since I'm a glutton of such things.
And I don't know why but an urpy Asmo makes me happy and giggly.

Twisty!! And thickening. Just the way I like my plots.
How'd you do the sparkles in the last panel? Texture? Brush? Photo-manipulation?
