Warrior character for my comic #BirilnganComics
The Dalakitnon is a tree-dwelling creature that seduces unsuspecting humans into the woods and brings them home, never to return.
If you find yourself walking alone at night, be wary of who calls your name.

Pol knows the most about myths and legends thanks to hours spent listening to Lola Bee. She’s studying to be a nurse and believes in science—but also carries rock salt, just in case. Quiet and nervous, but when it matters, she shows up big.

Axle Juntos
Axle is great at fixing things–gadgets, traps, vibes. He’s popular, flirty, and always ready to throw hands for his friends (or flirt with a hot aswang). He grew up side by side with his twin sister Alex, but likes to act like he’s the cooler twin (he’s not).

The level-headed one of the group. BF’s got the best aim, a calm mind in a crisis, and a soft spot for his chaotic friends. He’s an archery athlete and a natural leader (even if he doesn’t always mean to be).

Okay okay i think ive figured out a design that gives off 'royal vibes' and isn't exhausting to draw over and over for comics. How do we like it?

I hav a dilemma. I want to write #BirilnganComics in english so a wider audience can potentially enjoy it. But I also want it in Filipino to honor my heritage BUT ALSO i want to write it in Winaray as I am Waray and the Birilngan mythology is of waray origin.

According to legend, uttering the real name Biringan brings you misfortune. Others say it opens you up to the supernatural. Out of respect for this belief, I’ve chosen to title my story Birilngan, which loosely translates to 'where the lost can be found' #BirilnganComics

Small but terrible. Don’t let her size fool you. Shes all heart, sharp wit, and explosive energy. The friend who often finds herself in the wildest situations, yet still walks away with her eyeliner perfectly intact. Fiercely loyal and not afraid to call out BS.

Haddi Lantay is the ruler of Birilngan. He was appointed Haddi by the Birilnganons when he saved the city from 'the rot'.
I realise now i may have shot myself in the foot as I have to draw this complex design over and over and over in the comics 🙃

The Ugaws are the backbone of Birilngan’s agriculture. They tirelessly cultivate grains and crops, not only for their own families but to feed much of Birilngan. #BirilnganComics
