He has a name! Who knew?

The white peryton in the second panel is lovely patron Pale! This is his second cameo, you might have seen him on this page of Illumination back in 2017!

It’s September! That means the Patreon Merch Club is open for new members! And since shipping will be in November that means it’s something special for Skin Deep’s 19th anniversary! A real-life Bugbear Talisman! It’ll be antiqued black nickel with UV printing and 3D molded to be as close to the one in the comic as possible! I’m still working on the design with my manufacturer so it may change from this, but if you’d like to make sure you get one, you gotta join the Merch Club! More information on my Patreon page!
