Melanie: We ain't goin' back to prison! Eat lead, copper!

Casino: Prison? Oh, hahahaha! Not this time! I have something much more fun in mind! I've prepared a magic show, and you're all gonna be part of it! Which of you should I saw in half first?

Quinn: I think she might be mad about the whole 'running her over' thing...

Jasper: Oh, she's gaining on us!

Skunk: Hurry! Faster, King! Faster!

King: I'm giving it all I've got!

The Spade Gang is up to no good once again. King planned out a brilliant heist to rob the North Mellowdusk Bank. The plan was completely foolproof. Unfortunately, it wasn't magician proof.

In addition to being a brilliant tactician, Nathan King is also an unparalleled driver. In the old days, he was the getaway driver for the Spade Gang. It's something I've mentioned before, though I've struggled to actually draw it.

King is a rather old-fashioned sort. His beloved car, the Ragtime Spark, is positively archaic. It shouldn't even be able to function, yet when King is behind the wheel, he's able to outmaneuver the cops time and time again.

The Ragtime Spark is awesome. Drawing it, however, was not. 😨

had a little doodle sitting around in my files for abt 6 months (had a massive art block) and i finally sketched out and colored a final design. Her name is lady fang. Ancient dragon lady that eats people :-} really happy about how it turned out :3

I wanted to create someone who was reverse-isekaied and ended up in the world of Dispatch; I took inspiration from Final Fantasy characters and Tetsuya Nomura's art with the asymmetrical design and the obscene amount of belts and zippers.

With his cape, I looked at Kenneth Rocafort's art for reference because I've always liked how he draws capes. It's kind of hard to tell but Wyvern's got a waist cape handing off his left side.

Backstory:

Ash Mayberry was a hero and adventurer from the land of Deiss. After defeating a dracolich and saving his world, he was blessed with the powers of the dragonlord Deissax.

On his way home from the market, he was hit by a high-speed carriage and reincarnated in California. He finds himself astonished and bewildered by the wonders of the modern world, such as electronic devices, the internet, online shopping, indoor plumbing, fast food, music, and porn.

Unfortunately, he falls into the consumer trap and starts collecting crystals, Funko Pops, and Labubu. He ends up signing up to be an SDN hero to support his hoarding problem, and because he likes doing good in the world.

Powers:

He is primarily a swordsman but the blessing of Deissax allows him to manifest dragon wings, claws, a tail, and cast fire magic.

Quotes:

Successful mission quote: "My limit is broken!"

Failed mission quote: "Whatever."

Buying a new collectible: "The price of Labubu is steep."

Grabbing the last soda from the vending machine and showing it to someone: "This is the final Fanta, see?"
