Pride Month 2025

Hello everyone!

Another year has passed and yet again I finally would like to wish everyone a happy pride month! ♥

As for the characters you see here (from left to the right): ♥ Freya: Nonbinary lesbian ♥ Chris: gay ♥ Ryuga: Straight-Ally ♥ Joky: bisexual

If you have any questions, feel free to ask ♥ Most of us are all pretty open about it!

I also wish all of you out there a happy pride month, who are there to support the LGBTQ+ community and are so understanding to everyone around them ♥ We are people and we are all different and beautiful in our own way. This months is here to remind us of that ♥

And: I'm alive! QuQ I had my last final exam last friday and now I have a LOT more free time (at least I hope). My hand is badly inflamed, but I can work on some art as you may see. The next 3 months I plan to continue the Comic "TotH" and also plan to finish the Q&A (which has been going for over a year now, I am so sorry q.q).

Thank you guys for the tremendous patience and support! I hope I can make it up to you all ♥

Mother's Day 2025 and Betrayal Part 3

«Mother, there’s someone I really, really like…”, Ryuji started very timidly. Kaori was the second person he talked to about his love-interest.

“Oh, tell me more! What are they like?”; Kaori was always supportive and made sure to give her youngest some extra love. She loved Ryuji as much as her oldest, Raiga. But she knew he had a much harder time, especially when her husband, chief Zinan, was around. Kaori always tried to avoid leaving Ryuji alone with the chief. But sometimes that turned out to be a highly difficult task.

“Actually, she…”, Ryuji continued, blushing and having a hard time to find the right words. He knew he could fully trust his mother, but these feelings were completely new to him, and he didn’t know how to express them in the right way.

Kaori only smiled, knowing exactly how her son felt. “That’s alright, love. Take your time. No need to rush things.” She gently brushed her son’s long hair and continued to tie it into his characteristic ponytail.

Betrayal - Part 2

Ryuji's older brother, Raiga, was the first person Ryuji talked about his feelings towards Ena. And the teenager described the young healer so well that Raiga could almost see how she looked and acted. As Raiga still wasn’t old enough to be allowed to see or talk to other clan members his age, he could only listen and imagine what his younger brother was describing.

Raiga had never seen his brother that happy before. And he had never seen him blush or even smile that brightly either. And it made Raiga happy as well. He loved that Ryuji had someone else his age who liked and encouraged him to be himself. Because just like himself, Ryuji was beaten and verbally assaulted on a regular basis by their father, chief Zinan. If only the two brothers had that talk somewhere else, somewhere safe. Because now Zinan knew about Ryuji’s newfound happiness.

And hew was gonna make sure to take that away from him as well…

Betrayal - Part 1

Unlike his older brother Raiga, Ryuji was allowed to interact with other clan-members as pleased. Ryuji met Ena for the first time when they were kids. The two quickly became good friends and had been spending a lot of time together. Ena was the third person (aside from his mother Kaori and his older brother) Ryuji trusted completely, and he shared everything with her.

As both got older, Ryuji developed more advanced feelings towards the young healer. Although not telling her, he made sure to treat her well and often offered kind gestures; for example, helping Ena with her studies in healing magic or sometimes also just listening to her thoughts and ideas.

The two had a preferred spot just outside their home village. A lush patch of grass on a little hill, where they could watch the fields around them by day and gaze at the stars at night. Sixteen-year-old Ryuji had yet to share his feelings. But he would first tell his older brother Raiga about this beautiful and smart girl he’s been seeing…

Happy Easter 2025

Hi guys

Those two "love bunnies" as well as I wish you a happy easter! ♥ I hope all of you had the opportunity to spend the days with loved ones and had some time to relax... :)

April Fools 2025

Happy April Fools everyone!

I saw this funny pose on pinterest and just had to draw Renga and his two boys 😊 I hope you like it!

On a more serious note (not an April fools’ joke): I am sorry for not posting a lot lately. I can barely keep up the comic-uploads. The reason for this is my HUGE and annoying ArtBlock and big lack of free time. I really hope that things get better as soon as June is over. And I also hope that you guys keep being patient with me… quq

Thank you all for your continuous support and patience! I really appreciate it ♥

Women's Day 2025

Lovely, Shima and Nairi would like to wish ALL you beautiful and strong women out there a nice and special international women's day! ♥ ♀

Sidenote: Saw this cute pose reference on pinterest and just had to draw it! ♥ :)

Chief Ryuga

It's been a while since I was able to draw my favorite character (aside from the occasional Q&A Answer). So here he is: The current chief of the Ja-Nin-Clan, Ryuga.

He underwent a much needed outfit re-design. Let me know what you think if you want :) ♥

Valentines 2025

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

You guys voted (to no surprise) for the couple Renga and Shima!

And I’ve done myself a bit dirty for giving you the suggestion of being able to vote for a mix of both spicy and cute picture… You guys chose this option as well! x.x But I’ve done my best and I hope you like how the pic turned out (because I don’t XD)

The newlywed couple, Renga and Shima, share a special moment with you: The morning after their wedding! ♥

No matter how you choose to celebrate, if at all, enjoy the day and feel the love!

*****************************************

On another note:

I’ve worked on a new name for the species! Snowfox-human was a very rocky title, and I’ve never really liked it either. Now, with some research and effort I’ve finally found a suitable name for these humanized snow-foxes:

The generic term for the entire Fox race will be: Zevarin This is word is composed of words “Zev” (= fox) and “Arin” (= people of)

Since the people in the comic-series are descendants of snowfoxes, their race will be called: Frostvaryn This word is composed of the words “Frost” and “Varyn” (= fierce warrior)

A little spoiler for those of you who are interested: at some point we will also get to know other races such as:

- Desertvaryn (“Desert” + fierce warrior”) - Thalvarin (Thal = hunter, varin = warrior clan)

Maybe there’ll be more races added sooner or later, we’ll see… 😊

What do you think about these new names? I thought it sounding MUCH better than just calling them “Snowfox-Humans”. Let me know down in the comments if you like! ♥

Family is everything

Kaori's boys Raiga and Ryuji meant the world to her. She fiercly protected them with her life and made sure that they could live their life to the fullest, despite her husband, chief Zinan, being quite challenging at times.

There was nothing that scared Kaori. Her only fear was losing her boys and that's what made her fight so hard in every battle she faced. She was never far from her sons and whoever dared to even look at them the wrong way had to face her wrath.

Happy New Year 2025

Hey guys! This here is obviously the last picture of the year 2024 from me. Time flies by fast sometimes… And I hope you enjoy this little short-comic.

This year has had a lot more "downs" than "ups" for me, which absolutely sucks since all the past years have been pretty rough and merciless as well.

In January already I lost one of my horses, Royal, suddenly. It was absolutely painful and it took a lot of time to recover from that... I've also had a LOT of stress during the year, most of which also is due to part of my family being extremely toxic and the other part depending on my help so much. I've also caught quite a few sicknesses of which pneumonia was the worst. I've caught it in june, exactly when my finals were which lead to the next disaster, failing at my exams (again).

 Anyways, life must go on, right?

And the comic? WELL… We’re in the middle of "TotH". I hope you enjoyed the comic so far and I am endlessly thankful for your patience and bearing with pages that aren’t always SUPER exciting and all that… I’m looking forward to the more exciting parts of Renga's life and how he and Shima actually ended up! And I hope you do too! ♥

Thank you amazing guys for enduring the many hiatus... Anyways, to sum things up (I know, I am always pestering you guys with long texts quq): Have a good start into the new year! I hope it gets better for you guys out there who haven’t had such an amazing year. And for those who had one: I hope it gets even better! Enjoy the night with your loved ones and take care. ♥ 😊

Love Chad

XMas Eve and Christmas 2024

Chief Zinan and chieftess Kaori, their kids Raiga and Ryuji, as well as I wish all of you lovely people out there a wonderful christmas and happy holidays! And with that I'd like to share some information regarding the "TotH"-Comic again: I originally planed to end the hiatus on December 31st. But now it looks like I have to extend it to the new year. Don't worry: The story is (of course) going to continue after that. I just need time to work on the pages again. I'd like my patrons to be at least 5 pages ahead. And for that I need much more time. I hope you guys continue to have patience with me and I hope you enjoy the occasional "regular" pic like this one. I estimate that the hiatus will last until Tuesday january 7th 2025! During the next two month I (should) have enough time to work on new comic pages. Thank you all for your continuous support! With these information I'll leave you guys off to the soon-coming new year. Take care of yourself, keep fighting, keep being strong and most importantly: keep being yourselves! ♥ Yours truly Chad

Another particular expression of Stolas stuck with me: The exhausted and completely heartbreaking "always". :( Blitz is only now, after Stolas lost everything, showing him the love he has longed for so long. The tone of that one word felt so conflicted and tired... ♥ :(

If you haven't checked out the newest episode "Mastermind" from Helluva Boss yet, go ahead and watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoVB5Hn2m_k

I do not own the character! Stolas belongs to Vivienne Medrano: https://www.youtube.com/@spindlehorse

Outlines were drawn traditionally and the colors were added via GIMP. Hope you guys like it! :)

[chadxroyalx]

TotH - Pages 178 to 193

Hiatus until December 31st

[chadxroyalx]

Stolas' realization

I absolutely adored the new episode of Helluva Boss "Mastermind". It was one heck of a ride emotion-wise and I've never wanted to hug the "owl-boy" so much. Also loved that we were finally able to see all the sins (except Lucifer, but loved the easter egg of his throne c: ).

And the song "Mastermind" absolutely slaps! ♥

One particular expression of Stolas stuck with me: The sheer horror and the point of realization of what just happened and the realization of being unable to see his daughter Octavia any longer (probably)...

If you haven't checked out the newest episode yet, go ahead and watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoVB5Hn2m_k&t=975s

********************************

And I'd also like to take this post (again)to inform you about another hiatus of the Comic "TotH":

I do not have any pages left so far since I still absolutely have about zero time to draw at the moment... So I am yet again forced to put TotH on another hiatus until my patrons are at least 5 pages ahead again. I am so sorry that it has come this far again but I sadly can't change the facts...

I hope you guys have patience with me and keep looking forward to new pages and/or pictures/writte stories.

The hiatus will (for now) last until December 31st. I hope you guys have the patience to wait until then. If I can I'll make sure to end it sooner than that but just to be sure I'm going to pause the comic for three weeks.

Thank you in advance for sticking around and for your absolute tremendous patience!

Take care until then ♥
