Here with another week's worth of characters and cards. The theme I went with this week was "tiny and giant Hycians." Weekly updates will now come out on Sundays

It was tough to work on creating characters because I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to alter the actual gameplay. Hopefully I’ll have new renders of what I’m thinking for re-formatted cards

Sorry for the hiatus from posting new Hycians these past few weeks. The holiday season and traveling left me in a position where I was unable to get any work done. I’ll be back to posting 4 new characters for the game every week starting this Friday!
