Silly Trahearne & Malyck sketch to warm-up my hand. Just for fun/my personal amusement, don't take it too seriously. :p

Tangentially related to yesterday's art, ha. I love contemplating the path they could have taken to arrive to Malyck's cleansing.

"The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream."

I saw fan speculation earlier about how the gw2 (?) teaser from today might be a cleansed Orr! :O Which reminded me of this older art I was inspired to paint shortly after finishing the Knight of the Thorn questline.

It involves one of my headcanons where Trahearne brings Malyck to a cleansed Orr, after the Firstborn cleanses Malyck from Mordremoth's corruption (this headcanon takes place after Heart of Thorns).

2D Animation Practice: "Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck and Corrupted Trahearne"

Spent a few hours last night seeing how much I could add to this practice animation by today! When I opened the file, it was slightly further than the initial draft for the keyframes (posted WIP process gifs on my sketchblog here: https://landylachs.com/sketchblog/2026/02/trahearne-malyck-practice-animation-february-14-2026/ )

Yesterday I drew out the partially-drawn in-between "breakdown" frames from the sketch, cleaned up the lines, and added color.

Something about animating really alights a part of my mind that becomes endlessly delighted. If I had no responsibilities or physical limitations, I fear I'd become very obsessed.

It makes me want to draw until my arm falls off!

Anyway, happy Valentine's!

Chapter 3, page 26 of "The Harbinger's Path" posted yesterday! https://landylachs.com/harbinger/ch3/gw2-the-harbingers-path-ch3-26.html

Is he truly lost?

This is Chapter 3's finale! Keep clicking forward for an "author's note" about next plans for the comic.

I became a little sentimental writing up the site/email/RSS posts for the last page of this chapter yesterday, and needed a day to condense my thoughts for socials.

Thanks so much again to everyone who has given me support throughout this process! It means a lot to me as I tried out this new thing.

And if you haven't read it yet, consider checking it out! It's one of the more personal projects I've made in years, and I'm pretty proud of it.

Please take the poll to help shape the future of the comic, and sign up to the email list for future updates!

"The Harbinger" illustration for "Chimes," the first Wintersday Zine (2017).

An older, winter-themed Trahearne & Malyck artwork I'm still rather fond of.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

The potential for what was teased in Heart of Thorns' launch trailer endlessly inspires me. :')

(If you're not clear what I'm referring to, watch the opening lines of that 10-year(!) old trailer after reading to the final line of this page - especially coupled with the previous pg 16.)

Next page Wednesday!

(That link there goes to the archive for that page's update, if you're curious to read it and compare with today's page.)

Did you predict it?
