#postcreated truth

Some sketching of dragon Percival and his friend salkahi that I just named Iila. They're mail carriers who ended up taking the place of previous person who had done the duty of handling the deliveries for more difficult end of recipients. Difficult as in most people don't even know they exist and successful mail delivery usually requires some really specific directions and capability to face supernatural things.

Both are very dutiful and wanted a bit more interesting tasks than just delivering letter through their sparsely populated home area, but it is rather unnerving to get a task to bring a book to someone who is a mythical being from old stories.

Here's wannabe-funny comic about the moment when Pride learns about puns, for Envy's inconvenience. That continued on until every possible pun was said, then Pride's interest steered into some totally different thing.

This creature is Truth which I haven't drawn since 2011 but it was nice to see that it is about the same as before and I also want to keep this thing as a valid background character.

Truth is not the first one, but is one of the oldest postcreated creatures. It is mostly made of iron and all "fur" and "feather" -parts are carbon fiber. It has always had calm demeanor and had felt like "old soul" even when it was younger. It has lot of compassion for regular creatures, people and animals alike, and still seeks out those who are reaching their last moments, and comforts them. However, it has kept professional distance to too person-like feelings, and many individual fates it has seen - no matter how cruel or sad - don't get on its mind. It never gets angry to anyone and overall its reactions to everything are very mild. With all of this, it sometimes really surprises those who engage conversation with it, by telling a punny joke out of nowhere. ("I do have a mind of steel indeed - my head is literally iron.")

Here's Truth from 2011, so far no change really.

Some sketches of Truth. It had floating metal things before all the neighbourhood kids did the same.

Truth likes regular living things, have had occasional chats with sapient ones, and wishes good peaceful life to everyone, but has never had too much interest to blend in too much. It still has multiple misconception about how biological folks function. (Think it as somebody with high wisdom but low intelligence.)

I put Pride there just to think how their sizes are side by side. Pride knows Truth from when he was younger, they see each other pretty rarely nowadays, Truth is like old neighbour who is blissfully unaware of the long list of questionable deeds Pride has committed. It still talks to him like if he was "teen" and several levels of hell more innocent. Pride prefers it being like this.
