Finally finished! For some reason, I decided to make a separate line for him, I don't even know if I regret it or not. The only thing I understand is that my shadows didn't come out very well, I know. I'm still in the learning stage…
and here are the funny sketches
A distinguished commander of the human army, General Apetruly first rose to fame when he helped save a human settlement from a massive liger invasion. Little is known about his past; only that his calm, calculating mind can change the tide of any battle within seconds.
Behind his serene exterior hides a ruthless militaristic genius. Apetruly does not hesitate to force civilians into his ranks, believing sacrifice is necessary for humanity’s survival. At his side stand his three most trusted officers, unwaveringly loyal.
Woo the Insane
Once one of the greatest scientists of the human empire, Woo was known for his brilliance and passion for chemistry. He created countless formulas, including fertilizers that revitalized barren soils.
When the Human–Animal War began, Woo refused to take a side. To him, the conflict was senseless, a battle without logic or reason.
Everything changed the night someone sabotaged his laboratory. Woken by strange noises, Woo found a shadowy animal figure destroying his life’s greatest project: an energy system he had spent decades developing. The intruder was agile, and the room too dark to identify its species.
As Woo tried to stop the sabotage, volatile chemicals exploded, burning half his face and body. Hospitalized for days, he became consumed with hatred toward the creatures that had taken everything from him.
Abandoning West Citadel, Woo joined Big Red, swearing vengeance on the chaotic nature of animals.
Lady Red
Commander of Big Red’s naval forces. Born in a small seaside village, Lady Red grew up dreaming of exploring the ocean.
One night, her dream became a nightmare when the Crab Army invaded. Armed with her father’s trident, she fought bravely but was eventually knocked unconscious. By morning, her home was destroyed, her people enslaved, and her parents dead.
Overcome with grief, she hunted the marine creatures responsible, but they always returned. Her fury deepened until General Apetruly found her and offered a path: join Big Red and direct her vengeance toward the animals that stole everything from her.
She accepted and became the relentless spear of Big Red’s navy.
Smile Face Kwan
A general known for his brutal training and undefeated record. His tactics rely on overwhelming speed and force, using cannon barrages to destroy enemy formations before unleashing infantry attacks that leave no room for reaction.
His soldiers’ reward is the right to feast upon the animals they defeat.
His calm expression conceals the monster he becomes in battle. And that serene “smile” is not a smile at all.
Born into a prestigious military family, Kwan has always had a single purpose: protect humanity, no matter the cost.
WEST CITADEL
Emperor Highroller
Once a jester of the royal court, Highroller lived to make others laugh. He despised violence, believing joy could outshine any conflict. He was close friends with Woo, who often helped refine his performances for the Emperor and Empress.
But the war changed everything. The Emperor insisted on leading humanity into battle, ignoring Highroller’s pleas for a peaceful alternative.
Desperate to stop the bloodshed, Highroller stole one of Woo’s old poisons and ended the lives of the Emperor and Empress quietly and painlessly.
Taking the throne, he sought an alliance with the animal kingdoms to end the war. Many humans accused him of tyranny, but others supported his ideals. Even so, the conflict continued: Apetruly destroying everything in his path, Highroller fighting to preserve what remained.
Sparky White
One of the few survivors of the Rabbit Castle. Sparky White and his brother, Sparky Black, served as Highroller’s ambassadors, a symbol of trust between humans and animals.
When the First Squad invaded Rabbit Castle, the brothers were captured by Big Red and tortured for information. After days of resistance, Ultra Ray made them an offer: if they didn’t speak, one of them would die.
Sparky White nearly broke, terrified for his brother. But Sparky Black stepped forward, choosing to sacrifice himself for his brother, the animals, and Highroller.
Even then, the First Squad attempted to torture Sparky White. He escaped while carrying his brother’s body, but Jumpy severed his leg during the chase.
Collapsed near the ruins, Sparky White was rescued by King Bear and taken to Highroller. After surgery, he received his brother’s leg in place of his own, a permanent reminder of his oath.
He now trains relentlessly in combat and magic, determined to one day destroy the First Squad.
King Bear (Bear Stomp)
King of the Bears. Among the few animals who refused to wage war on humans, he honored the bond between them: humans protected food supplies, and bears defended farms and honey fields from invaders.
When war reached his kingdom, humans and bears fought side by side — but Big Red’s army crushed their forces. The humans of the Bear Kingdom perished.
Grieving for their lost friends, the bears buried them with honor and vowed vengeance against Big Red.
King Bear now serves as Highroller’s military right hand, fighting to protect what little remains of peace.
This is the current content of Villains 108. Some stories may still change or be rewritten, but this is the consolidated foundation of the universe so far.
Here are my little sketches in a sketchbook about the humanization of the Lion King and, unexpectedly, Bearstomp. (I just had a small workload at work, and it's inconvenient to draw in parallel in digital when I'm working.)
I think I'll probably draw them to digital format later. ^^ I tried very hard to make them in the style of Hero:108, rather than in any of my own style. If I may say so.
In general, bearded men :D
