More portraits of the Saints of Eyes and Ears, those who followed the word of the Watchers and became martyrs.
Aka me worldbuilding a religion around the life series winners for unclear reasons
Left to right, top to bottom:
Grian the Debtor, Saint of the Desert Sun
Scott the Loyal, Saint of the Endless Stars
Pearl the Betrayed, Saint of the Shadowed Moon
Martyn the Betrayer, Saint of the Stained Mars
Scar the Trickster, Saint of the Blooming Earth
Titles are written in Standard Galactic, which I am quickly growing fond of as a script
I’m going to loop Cleo in somehow, maybe as a debated Saint from a book with unknown authorship or something

Sketches of the life series winners I may or may not end up inking. They started as practice figures and ended up as… brainrot and worldbuilding? Shows how my poor brain works.
Starting at the top and going down, we start with Grian, Saint of the Desert Sun, first canonized Saint of the Church of the Watchers. As told in the Third Book, he fought in the Red Winter War against the Red King. He was betrayed, temporarily fell to the sins of revenge and wrath, before regaining his virtue and besting Scar of the Desert and martyring himself on the sand. Stigmata associated with him is blood-like coloration on the hands and especially under the fingernails.
Scott Major, Saint of the Endless Stars, was the second canonized Saint. As told in the Last Book, he survived strife and turmoil among the many factions of the Four Directions before martyring himself on his own sword. Stigmata associated with him is blood-like coloration on the chest or around the head.
Pearl Moon, Saint of the Shadowed Moon, was the third canonized Saint. As told in the Double Book, she wallowed in the sins of jealousy and violence before she was reunited with her Soulmate and was martyred by an explosion. Stigmata associated with her are lines around the wrists or marks that resemble fire or frostbite scars.
Martyn Littlewood, Saint of the Stained Planet, was the fourth canonized Saint. As told in the Book of Time, he was a loyal friend to his ally before descending into the sins of pride and wrath. He killed his ally and was martyred by a strike of lightning. Stigmata associated with him are crooked lines on the skin that resemble either lightning scars or branching coral.
Scar Goodtimes, Saint of the Blooming Planet, was the fifth canonized Saint. As told in the Book of Secrets, he was a lonely and friendless man who quickly fell to the sins of trickery and destruction. Despite this, he survived through these immoral ways and eventually slew the good Pearl of the Mounds. He did not martyr himself, instead turning his back to the Secret Keeper and declaring himself his own man. Stigmata associated with him are marks on the hands resembling ink stains from writing, or splotches resembling blooming flowers.
