Journey

Journey is a Shivae comic of a different variety. In the past, I have shown the cubs Tae and Kea playing with little Shivae toys that were a parody of the My Little Pony I grew up with, with sparkly jewel eyes and fancy rear ends. These comics are in Cesilee's Diary.

Journey is done from the perspective of an unknown Cyantian Wolf taking the idea further, utilizing the many species of Cyantzium in a grand story about the importance of teamwork, loyalty, steadfastness, and educational technology. It has a lot more meanings, but you can figure those out. This series is an all ages series and has already had the first two chapters completely penciled, so it will begin as soon as I have time.

Journey begins with a single Shivae chick named Sunny, who is an adventurous young shivae setting out on her own to explore the mystery of unusual stone statues all across their lands. Statues that are posed in every day poses, strolling, doing business, playing, etc, in random places. These statues are unicorns, pegasus, gryphons, dragons, and things called changelings that nobody really knows what they look like.

In the World of Journey, Shivae are marked with three kinds of markings: Natural markings that are always seen, stripes, spots, spatters, patches that Shivae are born with, Emotional markings that show up and are standard across a species, as in, all Shivae have a mark for when they're worried that shows up somewhere on their body and is a signal to other Shivae. The third is called the Inspiration Mark. These markings are individualized and show up when a Shivae's interests and experiences are triggered. Musical notes may appear on them when they are singing, or they may glow if they are magic related, like a vine draping down the foreleg or flames, wind, etc. These are things they EXCEL at. Some Shivae even excel at getting inspiration marks and educating others! If they are thinking about or participating in that activity, these marks show up.

Journey is coming soon to Patreon[1]
