Relic of the Rotund [Legion Tier Prize]

This sequence was completed partially as a prize, partially as a commission for ruddiw, the winner of the Legion Perk sequence giveaway lottery for March of 2025!

Ordinarily, these prizes are only released for subscribers at any tier level - but since this was an update / reimagining of a pre-existing sequence, I've decided to post this one publicly along with its predecessor. Enjoy!

Looks like the dashing adventurer Tyson Hewett and his loyal academic friend Professor Bertrand Cavendish have discovered far more than simple riches and acclaim when they laid hands on a mysterious gilded fertility idol. Perhaps this is why the usual rule is not to touch? Ah well...now the pair are sitting ducks out in this dense jungle, and there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse the pounds they've both piled on. And is it just my imagination, or...did I just hear the careful steps of a hungry jaguar in the brush?

A very huge thanks to each and every one of you out there supporting me at ALL tiers! You all have given me so much to be thankful for, and so much support that I'm actually able to afford life essentials now. Again, it is with your support that any art is created at all, so from the bottom chambers of my blackened heart, thank you. ~

Want a chance to win a free completed sequence like this one?
I release a post on the 5th of each month exclusively for the Legion members on my Discord server. If you're subscribed at the $10, you can react to that post in the Monthly Giveaway channel with an emote for a chance at that month's prize! Reactions are accepted until the 20th of each month, and shortly afterward, I contact the winner and work with them to create their desired prize, which can be any one of the following:

• A basic, full-color image, featuring a plain color/pattern background or background elements (non-complex) and up to three characters of your choosing.

• A five step, full-color sequence without background, featuring any one character of your choosing undergoing any type of gain, inflation, or change you wish.

• A single, full-color comic page (3000x3000 pixels), featuring up to three characters and containing no more than seven panels.
  

(NOTE: This particular sequence was created as a 10-step sequence due to additional funds which were provided by the winner / client to have it match a pre-existing 10-step sequence. Ordinarily, sequences created as a monthly Legion Tier prize may have a max of five steps.)
