Description

Some of my old character designs re-drawn and updated.

"Bathala" was a comic book series published inside the pages of "Kidlat Komiks" way back in the early 90's in my country.

I got the inspiration and idea of the characters you see here from local folklore and myths as well as people's beliefs in talismans, amulets, other creatures of the night.

At the time, I thought it would be cool for a change to not do a super hero team with foreigh names and traits which was what I was normally doing back then.

"Bathala" in english means god.
