Patreon-Exclusive Short Scene: Tenebella, Dunstana & Dragons vs. Porthaven’s Artistic Establishment

Tenebella drew a Dragon. She drew a Dragon-man. Actually, she just drew a Dragon.

Drawing a dragon with consummate V’s? Why does that sound familiar?

Behold, younglings: the halcyon dates of the early 2000’s Internet!

“Now, m’lady,” Captain Ratsumies says. “While you are presenting to the judges, I shall be just over, silently and menacingly sharpening my axe.”

“That will hardly be necessary, Captain,” Tenebella assues the captain of her guard. “I’m confident that the judges will be quite won over by my masterful use of consummate V’s.”

Suddenly, the previous entrant into the Porthaven Founders’ Day Art Contest bursts out of the judges’ room and running sobbing down the hall.

“Nevertheless, m’lady,” Captain Ratsumies says. “I shall sharpen my axe all the same. I am told the judges are particularly harsh on the entrants this year.”


The master list of all my Short Scenes is here.

Also, throughout October, I’m doing a non-Realmgard daily writing exercise, featuring an adventure with in all-new cast of characters in an entirely new setting.
