Seeker of Thrones 6-56
Chapter: 6
The first winners for the devil contest!
The first is this great submission. It really caught my eye because I could super easily imagine how this character could move and fight, which is what made it such a strong submission to me. The wire reminds me of a character in an old Shaw Brothers kung-fu movie, which is just my kind of aesthetic, while the clothing is cool and functional and remind me of a ninja.
The second here, the pale mechanic, is an amalgam of a whole bunch of great submissions I got suggesting such. This submission had a flat cap on for some reason, which I immensely enjoyed. I thought the group could use a character with the power of the old man flat cap.
Bold man, our Oskar, to turn his back on the Goodly Baron Fingers in a crowded space.
the back may face, but in any case
any one perspective has limits.
It’s what’s behind the back that counts.
Demons have the best drinking songs.
It’s a damned good one.
holy shit those PANTS. fashion at its finest. i need me a pair of pants like those to announce my villainy wherever i go.
And that awesome earring. For a devil who is satisfied with nothing less than to have a woman hanging off him at all times, if only in effigy.
Ah yes, the Ocean’s Eleven recruitment montage. Good times…
Here they are, the new friends!
Hrmm… I swear I heard someone shout “Step in Time” when I first saw 1-11 with his flat-hat and pipe. I think 1-11 might be Devil code for Chim-Chiminey.
And bless my soul, is it just me, or does an acrobatic seamstress make anyone else think of Sherry Bobbins?
Well, I can’t think of a pair better suited for serving tea on the ceiling.
Sherry Bobbins? Yep, that’s her voice now.
ITS HAPPENING
Tiny Beard Devil is back!
(yes, I’m out of character, who cares)
The song will be playing for the whole day for me…
When your skills are special
often the dedication
Can force you into compromise.
The demon in the last panel seems bewildered that someone would hire this ass-hole.
Especially since that horrific accident when he lost an arm. He’s plucky, he is.
(to the tune of “my bonnie lies over the ocean”; sung in a raspy undertone)
Nah, that tune just doesn’t work. Wrong metre and not rollicking enough. It needs to be something more like a jig or sea shanty.
Definitely a sea shanty.
To me, in terms of general feel if not quite the same tune, it feels like the old “Bound for South Australia”. Although it does depend on how the devil in question is feeling at the time. If he was contemplating the demonic amusement he would soon be having with his big old knife, then it could be done in a deliciously smouldering declarative style, backed by the faint echoes of dark laughter from the blackness of the Void.
For some reason I was thinking of the Rains of Castamere singer’s low, casual voice.
Although not quite the same melody, it doesn’t fit the rhyme.

It fits nicely, especially he first bit, to the tune of ‘Drink up me Hearties’
It sort of works with 99 bottles of beer. At least, it did in my head
I’m actually feeling something a bit more along the line of “You Are Old, Father William” from Alice in Wonderland. Not exactly the same, but that sort of rhythm set.
I admit I’m a little sad that the gold granny mechanic didn’t make the cut
Hell is vast and full of marvels. Rest assured she exists somewhere.
Wonder what Kamaji thinks of his cousin getting involved with crime
Does Kamaji know his cousin’s involved with such criminals?
Wu called the Pale Devil Quorum. One of many names perhaps. Or perhaps it was a lie. In any case, the Liar is pleased to see that their recommendation was taken under consideration, for such weight as a liar’s words might bear.
“No particular tune” he says while I’m already humming the damn thing…
Plus, if you squint while looking at the last panel, you can almost see that the mechanic looks like Luigi.
Well, Luigi in a funhouse mirror…
If there’s more to that song I really really want to hear it.
I’m excited to see whether one of mine has made it in. *fingers crossed*
For a sec I was a little disappointed you didn’t use my suggestion (only a little, there were a LOT of good demons submitted), until I saw that you took the hat from my design 🙂
Ooooh, I like wires.
I like this song. Please tell me there’s a real version out there somewhere

A very catchy song, found myself compelled to sing it. Not sure if anyone else did the same, would post it, but not sure on the rules of this site.
The demonic Shadowrun team assembles.
Geek the Vatra first
what? he doesn’t invited me? I’m offended.
Be grateful. Your life is likely to be much longer this way.
Do devils, being a product of the pure hot black flame, have a need for flesh as same as the members of the servant races who roam the pleasure houses as well? Or is it just that they enjoy the liquors, the company and the general ambience? These are some of the questions some scholars have asked regarding the topic.
Me? I do not waste time in such nonsensical subjects. They are all violators and breakers of The Law.
I really like the fact that even though there’s a hierarchy in demonkind and everyone wants to be gold or ebon, the different classes of devils seem to mix and mingle and work together much more freely than I’d expect.
It’s like the color of the mask says more about your personality than your power, which is really cool because so many other works don’t have that level of subtly. It reminds me just a little bit of the Bartimaeus trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud where the namesake demon (sorry, I meant spirit) spends more time outwitting his enemies than outfighting them. It’s a hilarious read- I highly recommend it for anyone who’s never read the books before.
O Abbadon, all your work here is great, but Big badassed Oskar happy and singin’, and recruitin’ in his EVIL pants…best thing that’s happened to me all week! (Other than waking up)
Thank you
Oskar, I like your pants.
The closest tune that works for me is Froggy Went A’Courtin. The first two verses delivered with a sort of drawl, then sped up with next two verses.
Like many, I’ve already become addicted to that jaunty little ditty. I can’t help feeling that if the rest of the song doesn’t exist, we owe it to the world to write the bloody thing. Providing we could do it justice, of course.
That is an *awful* lot of grenades. Which I suppose might explain why he’s got an odd number of arms.
The flat cap strikes me as very Miyazaki and I very much like it. Not just the cap, either. A lot of the architecture reminds me of his work, too.
Also, at one point I was like, “There’s something very Usagi Yojimbo about this comic…” and lo, she did give her name as Usagi and I giggled in delight.
Heeeeeeey, didn’t Oskar used to have hooves? Am I missing out on something?
A man whose pants say “Evil” a hundred times, you can trust. You know where he stands.
Fuck, I really hope Zaid doesn’t turn out to be an asshole, and is just like any regular human, trying to be a successful person and trying to make the world a good place.
Put those pants in the merch – my card number available on request …. XXL, dark color please.
The song has no particular tune… but the tune, the tune WILL have the song.
Behold, I am become the conduit for the evocation of the primordial cacophony:
