Come Along with Me

Early drawing of Yu and Nanek that really solidified this idea into something more when I first came up with it in November 2022. Things really snowballed after this, the simple plot I had grew into something way bigger and more exciting than I could’ve imagined. It’s amazing how much can change in a few months.

(If you haven’t seen it yet- check out the first episode of this series here!)

Another draw the squad. This time it's the kids/youngest generation of characters.

Shirofuido, Zatael, Nanek, Sellus, Taraphilia, Aurderyn, and Alphaeus.

Aurderyn and Alphaeus are new to this group. Deryn is based on another character of mine that's unrelated to Paragon, and Alph is a humanoid version of a character tangentially related that I decided could fill a niche. Neither are going to be particularly important players to the plot (I have a few of those, actually). But they filled out the extra places nicely.

(If anyone knows the original artist for this, please let me know. I haven't been able to locate them.)
