I feel it's been a while since I've drawn Rosary, so why not give her some more attention? Once again and to no one's surprise is just another image of her headbutting once again with Thomza. Entering her lair and climbing up her stomach and scales and confronting her directly. Although, with her overconfidence, she's always bound to chuckle or even laugh directly in his face. Thinking that thanks to his extremely short size that there's no possible way that he can win.

...Usually this ends up with her getting knocked out or defeated, but Thomza will never aim to slay her. In a few cases the two can be even found joining up together in Cycle 9 even if they don't get along very well. Even with the new canon, the very character dynamic and relationship has not changed much. For those who do not know anything about Cycle 9 allow me to explain an abridged version of this:

Rosay, herself, is not a God and is a collector of many grand and divine artifacts. In her collection she hopes that she too will become the divine eventually with amassing a bountiful hoard of treasure and if she sleeps upon it, she believes it gives her infinite strength like the divine. Going to much to call herself the "Serpent Goddess of the new world" and many of her artifacts do assist her in battle. Basilisk like herself, usually do not get to swap sizes and don't even know how to speak, but somehow with the collection of artifacts and almost a super-hero like origin from accidentally falling into a blessed pool, she was given knowledge, sentience, an extremely powerful soul, and she desired more. Becoming not only a treasure hunter, but a scholar, and she'll ensure that these divine artifacts are retrieved by any means necessary and has no problem even fighting an entire village for them. Her strength only growing as well as her size that seems to shift massively.

Thomza however is the "Guardian of the Tiamat" (only later would he find out he is the mute god, the character has a shattered memory and doesn't even remotely have any of that power since he does not remember he is a maskless being.) and you would think these two would get along well, but... No. Mostly because Rosary is STEALING stuff that belongs to the mighty dragon for her own gains. Although Thomza can never bring himself to properly harm her, but will absolutely wrestle whatever she has out of her hands... Or tail- and ensure that it is returned to the proper owners. In other words, they are absolutely bitter rivals, and it doesn't help that Rosary knows of his origins and wishes to collect him in some way as well.

I feel like a proper explanation on the duo should be explained of course, so here Thomza is again, probably challenging her for something she stole, AGAIN, for the third time this week, and maybe one day she will learn her lesson and stop being so evil. (She doesn't.) That and she also is supposed to act as a more "Saturday morning cartoon villain" than anything else. Coming up with elaborate plans to disrupt the mandrake colony Thomza is in but will never aim to harm anyone at all!

...Other than that? I don't got much else to say or add to this one! Have a wonderful day everybody!

Disclaimer and Copyright: These characters involved, and the artwork belongs to me, TwistedHensley. The Skin to Scales universe also belongs to me there, TwistedHensley... You get the drill. I want to point out that this is an Epic Dark Fantasy setting with a lot of mythological and religious tones and that there is no real-life connection to any of these events, religions, characters and it is fully, grounded, in fantasy. There is no copyright infringement intended to other forms of media as Skin to Scales is meant to be its own thing and something I've been working on for a very long time. That and this is also Cycle 9 and is the "Deep past of Skin to Scales" when the universe was in its very early stages. Thomza is without a memory of being a god, the mighty Tiamat rests in an almost eternal sleep, and many heroes are created during this time period. The gods are all resting as the mortals rise and the race for immortality and adventure has just begun!

Fun Fact: I had to re-draw her little treasure hoard in her cave multiple times thanks to some weird layering issues and it just deleting itself for some reason! Joy!
