Happy Father's Day (2015)

Something much sweeter for today.  This is the scene of the birth of Tarben, which I had actually worked on about a month ago but decided to hold onto for my Father's Day post.

Hjalmar's dear wife, Eira, had succumbed during the birth of their son, crushing his heart on an event that should've been joyous for them both.  It was that day that he retired from the military to provide the best life he could for Tarben.

Despite it all, he went on to turn out pretty well, and Hjalmar couldn't have been prouder.

A very happy Father's Day to everyone out there.

Hjalmar

Hjalmar is one of the human men of the world under the threat of the snakemen.  He, along with other newcomer, Vali (who will be seen in the near future), co-star in the story with Ylandarr.

I wanted a rugged, bearlike man in Hjalmar.  He's a stud who would enjoy getting down in the dirt and wrestling any and all challengers to a squirming, moaning defeat.  Hjalmar particularly loves to kiss his opponents immediately after getting a submission from them, taking their breath away as his strong, meaty fingers roam toward their backside in search of his prize.

I'm still working out Hjalmar's purpose in the tale, but he's a deeply proud man who has a complex relationship with Ylandarr -- one that gets even more complicated with the advent of Prince Naja.
