A sepia-toned pencil sketch on parchment of the Champion Chapter 3 Cover. The Champion and the Serpent in her human form stand in a massive bird’s nest made of pine trees with barrel-sized eggs and human bones and skulls scattered throughout. The Champion has her sword drawn and holds the Serpent protectively, while the Serpent screams in horror and falls backward. At the edge of the nest, a t-rex sized harpy eagle-like monster bird menaces them.

Bit of a preview for things to come!
Work is busy this month and next(which is great for me!), but that means that the soonest that Ch 3 pages will be posted publicly is sometime around March-ish. Whatever I do get to, Patrons get too see everything first!

Panel 5, the Champion, looking determined and pissed off. Marv thinks off panel, “What the--?! What’s a Daughter of Eutratis doing out here?!” Panel 5, Marv is petrified with fear, “Oh Gods. Today’s the day. She’s come from the Capital to take Tam away…”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Marv the Tanner looks closer and thinks, “Hold on a moment...lt doesn’t look like she’s wearing any lmperial regalia?” Three different soldiers appear behind him, all bearing the same five pointed star with a tall upper point: a footsolder with a sword, a spearbearer with a shield, and a messenger on a horse with a bird-shaped helmet. Marv’s thoughts continue, “What is she then? A Champion for hire?” Panel 2, Marv continues to worry, “I haven’t let Tam out of my sight! He can’t be in trouble, can he? There’s no reason for her to be here!” Panel 3 Marv’s eyes widen in horror and thinks, “Unless…OH GODS! lt’s Relumis all over again!” An imagination scene plays out behind him, the Champion boorishly grabs Marv by the collar and says, “You’re with me, little man!” while Marv struggles helplessly and says, “Please, Lord! Have mercy!”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, Marv rationalises to himself, “Calm down, Marv! Maybe it wouldn’t be so terrible for Tam to have a sibling? He’s so lonely out here…” Panel 2, Marv continues to think, “But the Huntress is a Wolf, and so TAM is a Wolf...But if SHE’S a daughter of Eutratis, and HE is the Horned Stallion, then…” Behind Marv is an imagined epic scene of his son Tam happily riding a rearing unicorn. Lightning flashes and flares dramatically from the unicorn’s horn. Panel 3, Marv frantically shuts down his line of thinking, “NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I don’t know anything about taking care of horses!”

A black and white ink comic strip in the style of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1, the Champion speaks indistinctly, “Good-Eve, friend! Has your tannery been afflicted by any blah-blahs or blah-dee-blahs bleh-blah bleh-blah?” as Marv tries to pluck up his courage, “You have to stand up to her, Marv! Just take a breath and tell her--” Panel 2, Marv yells a loud and decisive, “NO!” Panel 3, the Champion is taken aback by Marv’s sudden outburst and Marv, having finally heard what the Champion actually asked, stammers, “--What? Uh…I mean…” Panel 4, a narration box reads, “And so, immediately following the events of Champion Chapter 2 Page 11…” Panel 5, Marv kneels on the ground and desperately attempts to reason with Tam, “TAM--whatever you do!--DO NOT BOTHER THAT LADY!” Tam whines, “Aw, PA! What for?!” Marv answers, “You’ll understand when you’re older. JUST LET HER REST, AND PRAY SHE WON’T ASK FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!”

Panel 3, Marv closes his eye and takes a deep breath. Panel 4 , he turns and smiles off-panel to Tam and says, “Yes, baya?” Panel 5, Marv’s eyes nearly pop out of his head as Tam excitedly holds up the dead rooster and proudly says, “I got us supper!” Panel 6, in the background Marv holds the dead rooster and indistinctly scolds Tam. In the foreground, the Serpent and the Champion sit behind the house. The Serpent waves her arms casually and says, “ “C’mon, don’t be so hard on yourself, Champ! We’re just figments of a severely under-socialized kid’s imagination! How’re we s’pposed to know a band on a fowl’s leg means some-one owns it?” Meanwhile, the Champion sobs, “It was a PET!

Panel 4, the Champion yells, “LADY SNAKE!” from off-panel. Tam giggles as the Serpent whispers, “Uh-oh! Here comes the FUN patrol!” Panel 5, the Champion crosses her arms and says, “That fowl--a sacred emissary of All-- was killed by his snare! Its life needs to be honored accordingly!” The Serpent waves her arms incredulously, “ Goat-rot! You expect a son of THE Huntress to let a kill go to waste?!” Panel 6, the Champion and the Serpent yell in each other’s faces. The Champion shouts, “Our young Champion- to-be needs to obey the laws and customs of the Land!” while the Serpent argues, “Customs, schmustoms! That stupid fowl got itself killed fair and square!” Panel 7, the verbal fight escalates into a big ball of violence as fists, stars, and childish insults fly, “Rat breath!” “Horse face!” “Thunder Butt!” “Worms fer brains!” Panel 8, the Serpent ferally bites the Champion’s hand with a mighty “KHOMP!”. The Champion shrieks, “YEEOWWIE! STOP IT! We’re setting a terrible example as grown-ups!” Panel 9, the Serpent moodily sulks and the Champion rationalizes, “Look, I’m sure we can all agree, the fowl was Tam’s kill, so it’s his choice what happens to it! Right, Tam?” Panel 10 the Champion looks bewildered at the spot where Tam was and says, “Tam?” The Serpent smirks, “HA! Kid got bored of your windbagging and ran off!”

A screenshot of two memes. Meme 1, Twitter user Memichuu tweets, “I asked my mom if she knew what yaoi was and she said "That scream Tom does on Tom and Jerry".

The Champion continues, “And thus, we mortal- borne peoples are forbidden from killing them for food and fun--” Tam protests helplessly, “I was trying to catch rats! I didn’t mean to kill it!” Panel 2. Tam excitedly swings on the Champion’s arm as she says, “Well, since it was an accident, I’m sure She will pardon you! But there are some Championly Duties that we have to fulfill first!” Tam excitedly says “Championly Duties? YAY! What are they?! Tellme-tellme- tellme!!!” Panel 3. The Champion is so tall that only part of her is visible in frame as she speaks, “First, you need to free it from the snare...Then, its body needs to be burned, so that its Yiltithea (The life force of all living things) can ascend to the Gardens--” Tam holds up the dead wildsfowl, noticing a silver band around its leg, “Lady Champion? What’s it wearin’ a bracelet for?” Panel 4. The Champion and Tam are tiny in the panel as the Champion tries to come up with an answer, “Oh! Well, obviously that’s because...Because...Hmm...I don’t know why that is, actually…” Panel 5. An unseen person rests their arm casually on Tam’s head and speaks, “Ignoring for a moment your inability to comprehend the trappings of modern fashion, Lady Champion…” Tam is excited to see whoever the stranger is while the Champion petulantly crosses her arms and says, “Ah...How wonderful of you to finally join us…”

A 2 panel preview of Champion Minicomic “Reveries” Page 9. In Panel 1, the Champion and the Serpent walk down a forested road together. The Champion walks purposefully ahead, hands clamped over her ears, while the Serpent dances along behind, singing to herself, “...I went down to Koulashei Market...La-da-ba-dee La-dee-ba-doo…” A glowing orange butterfly Reverie spell follows behind the Serpent, fluttering into the scene from outside of the panel borders. In panel 2, the Serpent’s song is suddenly cut off as the Reverie lands on her face with a splattery, “Piff!”

For the record, 🐍 can sing quite well, but chooses not to because it is funnier to her.
