Haliya: I can guess what happened here. Marvelous work, my warriors! Haliyans: We fought Bakunawa so they can flee, but they're the ones who did that. Haliya: Eh?!
Hibi-Hibi: You're all alright! Cruz: Well, most of us anyway.
Hibi-Hibi: I'm so glad I put that enchantment that warns me if you see Bakunawa. Tammy: So that's what that flash was? Hibi-Hibi: It's... not supposed to do that.
Finally had the opportunity to simplify Haliya’s tattoos cause they’ve been a huge headache to draw. Heck, this redesign took some time too… My bad though, I knew it was going to be a pain to draw in the future but I was too stubborn in getting some awesome warrior tattoos on her as fitting for a warrior goddess.
Tiger Haliyan: She's out cold but I don't think that's going to last. Redhead Haliyan: So... continue on, or go back? We need to report this to Lady Haliya.
Cruz: What's that?! Tammy: Hold on, that wind sounds familiar.
Sorry for the lack of updates. For anyone who was worrying about me, thanks. I’m fine… well, fine-er. Catching up again with friends I haven’t seen in years (thanks COVID), and now regularly hanging out/gaming together online, or now and then in real life. I’m super introverted, but even I didn’t realize how much I missed interacting with my buds again.
Anyhoo, gonna take me some time to build up a drawing habit again, but I can’t keep feeling discouraged, pathetic, and guilty, and procrastinating forever. And I guess it’s time to admit it, I’m not the most passionate artist out there. Waiting until I’m in the mood to draw just isn’t gonna cut it as you can see. I have to rely on habit and discipline to actually get some serious work done.
Therefore, I WILL post a comic page every Friday no matter what.
Bakunawa: HISS!! Haliyans: Hya! Take that! RAWR!! Cruz: Woah!
Keith: That's two people I've seen turn into wereanimals tonight. Myan: Meow! (It's sooo weird~!) Cruz: The ladies seem to be handling themselves alright!
Cruz: So what do we do now? Keep running? Tammy: I'd rather stay FAR away from that monster, but... Keith: Agreed. Feels wrong to leave without trying to help...
Keith: ...and we can run, but we're helpless without them in this strange place. Tammy: R-right. Cruz: Let's leave when we can't think of something then.
I figured this was a good way to show one of the “common” but still useful mask powers, though animal masks can range from full-on transformations like this to just buffs depending on the animal (e.g. fast like a cheetah). And unlike with Tammy, she actually did transform in front of them like that which I did because “hoho magic wolfgirl transform”. I went with a more sentai-like than magical girl approach here this time.
Tbh I don’t really know what to say to someone who’ll stay behind to give their lives to delay whatever. “Thank you”? “I’ll never forget you”? “I owe you my life?” Well, I do know “kthx bye” is a huge no-no at least.
