MOVED ACCOUNTS

This is the second round comic I drew for Hastilude, the knight-tournament OCT. The events of this round happen over the course of the night before the very last day of the tournament, where Zhun has a fatal encounter with his opponents-to-be.

Round 3 threw the remaining participants (all 4 of us) for quite a loop. I got paired with my friend Faust, and I was very excited to play around with his freaky doppelganger twins, but the rules for this round said we could make a 3 page comic only, and we were encouraged to go with the 'triptych' theme! That meant I had to get across an entire series of complicated interactions between 4 characters, all of which had prior history with each other, without the aid of any dramatis personae or filler pages or even room for more dialogue.

This is the first round comic I drew for Hastilude, the knight-tournament OCT I participated in last January. Each 'round' lasted two weeks and we were to draw a comic depicting an interaction between our character and the character of the opponent we were assigned, where our character proceeds in the tournament.

My opponent's character was Boketai, the chieftain of a small nomadic tribe and Nökhör of the rising Khan Temüjin - it was interesting to write a comic where my clear underdog character 'lost', yet still managed to proceed in the tournament because his opponent left the country entirely :) That's why even though my character is Zhun, I gave more of a focus to the opponent in this one.

I participated in an OCT (original characters tournament) called Hastilude themed around a tournament taking place in a 13th version France-adjacent kingdom this January.

[TACHYON PROTOCOL]

I finally got around to writing lore for one of my dragons. Here's the problem about lore, though, it's sort of boring to read when there's a lot of it… So instead, I made a short comic about this guy to introduce him to you.

The TL;DR is that Tachyon believes he comes from a timeline where a massive Emperor named the Luminous Heir brought cataclysmic damage to the world. He is now attempting to kill the Imperials he believes made up that Emperor in order to prevent this from happening again. Functionally, we cannot be sure if this is real or not. It's actually entirely possible that Tachy hallucinated the entire thing. It's also possible that he's the one who caused the Emperor to form in the first place (so many dead Imperials, hello?) He does not attempt to kill all Imperials, only the ones he believes were part of that larger Emperor at the beginning. Tachy only remembers their names, not what they look like, so as you can imagine this is troublesome if an Imperial is named something extremely common. He's been wandering around Sorneith looking for these dragons.
