HoC Quiz - What suit do you belong to?

HoC Suit Quiz


Many want to know to which of the 4 card suits would they belong? Or if they would be a cross-suit (a blend of one or more suits)?

Here are what each suit's talents are:

 Hearts: known for their love, friendship, healing ability, and leadership.

 Diamonds: known for making cash and keeping it, keen appraisal (can tell you how much something's worth or if it's real), musical ability, and gracefulness.

 Clubs: known for their loyalty, battle prowess, weapon knowledge, and strategy.

 Spades: known for gaining the trust of magical plants and animals, lure of flora & fauna, and what each can do, they can also get the plants or animals to share their secrets (if given enough time).

*Now, add up how many of each suit you have. *


-If 1 suit far outweighs the rest, you're a double of that suit. (You have the double's special ability for that suit.)

-If you have 2 that are close or even, you're a cross-suit! (Which means you get to dabble in both suits.)

P.S. There will be more on this when I release more on what each suit is known for.

Working on some Taps Comic Strips

I've decided to work on a big Taps project.

Surprised? Probably not. She's my favorite after all. ;) 

In any regard, it's going to feature many of the HoC cast. But, I will say it'll take a bit before you see all of them. Especially since our cast has 60+!

I plan on doing anything during Taps' lifetime, which covers over 300 years!

I mostly want to focus on humor and/or adventure. Only the future can tell. I don't know how many I can get out during the week. I think it'll be whatever suits my fancy.

I know from the work I did on the first comic strip today, it took around 7-8 hrs! 
But, take into consideration, I had to think up & make the logo too. I worked from start to finish on the rough draft through the flat color. (Sorry, no shading! Maybe I'll worry about shading something big for the holidays.)
It's going to be done in my advancstik style, so I can save on time (believe it or not).

So, here's to a good day!

Update: I'll be working next week on the 4th draft of book 5.

After book 5, I will be taking a break from the HoC series and working on another unfinished project. But, I plan on working on the comic strips during it.
