Siax dreams about a plan to get out: he’ll cry buckets of tears so that his dragon won’t go thirsty. Graphite on paper.
Siax Lanke
Siax was my very first character. He has a special place in my heart. He dwells in Needle Alley, is terrified of his phone ringing, his dragon drinks only his tears and he just can’t bring himself to leave it. The good thing is that in the end he dares to go outside to see the world, leaving his dragon. Before he cries a couple of buckets of tears, so that it won’t die of thirst.
Attic

Tears and Salt

Please, let it be wrong number
