In Philippine folklore, Oryol the naga was said to be the most terrifying being inside the forest of monsters. Queen of the fearsome mermaids called the Magindara, Oryol was unstoppable, and Handiong was a beloved king who was set to slay Oryol, knew this.
Though they battled, Handiong and Oryol came to the realization that they were equals in skill, and stopped and grew to admire each other, and eventually fell in love.
Hey guys! This is the title page of a 6 page mini-comic for the awesome Amanda Scurti’s new fantasy Earth-themed anthology TERRESTRIAL. It’s loosely based off the Filipino mythological figure, Mariang Sinukuan. I’ve been wanting to do something with her for awhile, so I was really excited about the anthology’s theme. You can pre-order it here, before it debuts at SPX in September. Check out all the other wonderful contributors!! It’s a mind-blowing list. Thank you again Amanda for inviting me. :)
