The third swordsman illustration, sketch Pages 1-9 + Song (Patreon)

Good evening again my dears! One of those double post days! Dropping off a song mix I worked on of BluJaymix's "across the bridge" which helped inspire the illustration~ and you can download it below!-------------------------------------------------------------------------For those of you have read both I'm in love with the monster lord?! and Heart's Trappings, you might recall some sketch pages I worked on a bit ago of what is to eventually be the third entry in the monster lord series. Having began the series idea back in 2021, it's beautiful to eventually continue it on. It's only a matter of time, and while he Rain's story to finish, I hope you look forward to some day seeing the absolute suffering of the swordsman, Lan. "Haven't you felt it......all your life...? That aching in your heart....knowing your prayers were false, and she never heard you? The prophecy is upon your world...death is upon your people......and there is only a beast's anger, a monster's hatred in your chest. They would have you die for the goddess, but why slip into oblivion for a war that will not end? For our dear mother, Methigon....who has never known your soul? You with a monster's hate, pledge your arms to me, relinquish your fate to my hands...and there will be another way. A way this world will halt and unite."

".......What must I do...?"
