8House: Yorris: The Yrris Wyrm

The first title in the 8House series is called Arclight, written by Brandon Graham and illustrated by Marian Churchland. Towards the end of their first issue, Marian drew the character "Lady" reading a bestiary and one of the creatures was named Yrris in "Spell Lanuage" which is the coded text that the eight houses use. The translated name was "Yrris" which was almost the name of the character from our series called Yorris. It was an uncanny coincidence because our first book was already completed when we read Arclight in print.

So Helen and I decided that our Yorris would be named after the mythical Yrris creature, a worm, and that her full name Yorris Di Trentos would mean "Wyrm Defeater", the significance of this name will become more clear in the second part of our story.

I asked Brandon & Marian if I could redraw their Yrris design and include it in the back of our comic. They agreed and I mulled it over for a few weeks, I was getting ready for bed when the desire to start this sketch hit me. Helen decided to catch the glorious moment of the creation of the above artwork on film, but didn't warn me. Basically it proves that I put everything into my art, even some DNA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh50Pt… [I've provided Closed Captioning]
