Are they professional? No. Are they prestigious? No. Are they always on the right side of law? No. Are they a reckless band of capable fools who always get the job done and get it done well? They call themselves Howling Steel…and you’re godsdamned right they are.

Another Ref down…this time it’s Robby, the leader of the renowned Howling Steel mercenary band! One ref left and the whole crew will be redesigned and ready to go!

An old gift for @/Iwasonthelastbus. I just cannot stop drawing all these fun face shapes.

Nylander’s new ref…the bard of Howling Steel! The man, the myth, the bastard. Thanks for puttin up with all the refs lately, friends, I’ve been on the ref train and it feels good to update some designs for the characters going into the graphic novel!

New ref sheet for Akash Sinra, member of the mercenary crew Howling Steel!

“Exiled Keeper of the Libraries of Virrinor, Master of Knowledge, wouldst thou grant me trade? For my heart of hearts covets thy secrets” A deity known only as The Past, which possesses all knowledge of Noruena and its history. Knowledge, however, is not free.

“I am Tamarack, Beacon of Sethrekar. Remember that as you cross into the realm of death.” A piece of Tamarack from a few months back that I’m still very happy with

“What was that sound?” “Nothing good. Keep low, stay quiet. We won’t be sleeping tonight.” . . Very old art….but I’m still fond of it. It holds a special place in my heart for being a redraw of an even older piece that solidified Soren’s story into what it is today!

A piece I made last year of (Dragon)Tam asking if you’re comin’ along for an adventure. “Well…are you?”

Just Soren, wonderin’ what’s goin’ on

A new reference sheet for Tavian, one of the main characters in the Tales of Noruena cast! The last ref I gave him was in 2021 and boy did he need an update

Do not trust him…he may look all friendly and serene, but he will still ur grilled cheese

“What will happen to them?” “If they’re lucky, they’ll be dead before the moon rises” Soren and Gavin’s journey takes them to many dangerous corners of Noruena — few more dangerous than the abandoned town of Bardford. Some secrets ought to remain as such.

Just havin a quick seat for a second

An old comic I made back sometime in 2023, featuring a conversation between Gavin and Soren about the purchasing of a mule. This isn’t exactly canon anymore, but I still think it’s a simple and effective example of their characters. Enjoy!

A fantastic piece from the homie Zen who drew Cedric Alphonse, one of the many colorful faces of Noruena that you all will be learning about as time goes on!

“It is common knowledge among those with a life at sea that if one encounters Driozuldrah, the Great Gale Beast, the Father of Serpents, then you’ve run into an ill fate indeed.” Older piece from 2022, featuring a scene from the graphic novel! Our boys might be in some trouble…

An old comic WIP…more can be seen on my Patreon, though this particular comic never did get fully finished

A recent commission done for @rudralevitas.bsky.social ! It was fun drawing a dragon again!

Prof. Arabores, as a top professor at Alderwall University, has access to some exciting things that the public generally doesn’t see. With his excitable and sometimes reckless behaviour, having his protégé Gwen around can help balance his excitability with some logic. (Sometimes)

Happy birthday to my great friend @/Creekdraws! Creek is awesome and if you do not follow him, I definitely recommend it. He's a great dude with cool art and a really vast world that he's working on. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND, I wish you many more! IF YOU EVEN CARE!!

Soren as an adult — the ‘stipple’ skin condition worsens, and he has a few battle scars…but in the end he’s the same old Soren. This will be his appearance late into the graphic novel.

Soren tends to feel useless since becoming a dragon with not knowing how to properly operate his new body and travelling with 2 very capable companions. However, in small moments, he finds ways to feel like he still has some worth

“Each coming from small beginnings, never imagining they would become heroes of the people. Each facing insurmountable odds, embroiled in events far greater than themselves. Eventually they became known by the people of Noruena as The Beacons of Sethrekar.”

Gavin, strong and driven as he may be, faces insurmountable odds in the battles deep within his own mind. Carnus the Thorn, though lacking physical form, is always watching him carefully…

Soren, The Man-Blooded Dragon Gavin, The First Knight of the King Gwendolyn, The Prodigy of Alderwall Founding members of The Beacons of Sethrekar
