#thewandererslog may not be a horror story, but October is my (pictured) protagonist's birthday month. Go show him some love by reading his log! Available on Amazon and B&N, including KU.

The final member of the main cast is Valancar!

He's a Lycor, a species of wolf humanoids that are supernaturally strong and fast, with enhanced senses to boot. They present themselves as stoic and brutal, but Valancar wants to use his stength for good...

Our next party member is Iris!

She's a Phaser, a species that look similar to ghosts, but Iris is very much alive. She's a rebellious soul with surprising knife-wielding skill and a particular hatred for lemons. Is there more behind her bravado? You can find out in #TWL...

Next up, the prodigious son: Tafrandir!

Born of a magical fusion of two lovers that could never touch, his unique "birth" gave him a protector spirit that he controls at will, a life lived mainly on the streets, and worldwide fame. But that doesn't stop him from dreaming...

#thewandererslog There's a healer in every fantasy party, but this one is a bit different. Meet Aurae Wolocken!

She's a rare dual-type elf mage, wielding very powerful light-based and healing magics. Her compassion and wisdom suggest a calm nature, but inner turmoil threatens a storm within...

To rehash for those who may be new, I'm posting #thewandererslog character aesthetics with a brief description. Enjoy!

Meet the protagonist, Kutumin Swoquix!

He's the titular Wanderer, a nomadic and talented tattoo artist looking for a story to tell in his log. There's only one problem. (1/2)

Hey, everyone! Big news!

Hey everyone! I drew Iris (left) and Aurae (right) for a fan drawing project that my friends and I are doing. For the newcomers, these are the two female members of my main cast - you can read more about them in earlier posts!
(Note: Iris has fingers, I just got lazy.)

Hi everyone! Before I do any species posts I thought it might be pertinent to share the map of Brisraine, the continent on which my story takes place. It's not too detailed, but it's what I have for now. I made it in Inkarnate.

Character Introduction #5:

Valancar, the protective stalwart! A member of a race of wolf humanoids called Lycors, he's incredibly physically strong. He's tough in all ways, but he has his more lighthearted side - and a brotherly connection to the one who saved his life.

i can't draw him too well 😭

Character Introduction #4:

Aurae, the wise healer! She's a rare dual-type mage wielding illumination and healing magic, and motherly to all. She's the most pacifistic of the group, but does that small smile conceal a wellspring of emotion and power...?

lovely fanart by @dddestroya.bsky.social!!!

Character Introduction #3:

Iris, the witty knifewoman! She's a member of the Phaser species, a species that is literally translucent, can "phase" through solid objects, and can even Possess people. Unfortunately for Kutumin, Iris isn't so transparent about her intentions toward him...
November 18, 2024 at 5:08 PM
Character Introduction #2:

Tafrandir, the orphan prodigy! Born out of a magical fusion between 2 species that gave him the power to use a protector spirit, not much is known of his past. Despite his famosity, he has been neglected due to his stoic and strange personality...

I thought I might do some character introductions for The Wanderer's Log, so to start:

The protagonist, Kutumin Swoquix! A member of the Wanderer species, Kutumin is insatiably curious, malnourished in more ways than one, and looking for adventure.

Ft. a persona 3-inspired drawing of him (by me)!

I'm going to do this a little differently - I'm just going to do the pride flags of my main cast and make you guys guess who has what >:)
If you know, no telling.
Options: The Wanderer/Protagonist, The Healer, The Prodigal Son, The Strongman, and The Living Ghost
(pretend the pan flag is there too)
