While Jasper has spent more time on the mats than Dean, it doesn't always mean that he'll win a match! Thanks to the amazingly talented @sally__84ir on Twitter for this amazing piece!

Dean Ellta swings a surprising side hook kick at Jasper Schoen's chest, catching the jackal off-guard. Sensei Luka Tarou watches on in the background, proud of both of his students for pushing eachother to their absolute limits.

"A pleasure to make your company. What do you require my services for today?" From Merry Old England comes Edward Wolfe! Former Royal Marine, former MI6 Operative, and current butler to Dean Ellta! Despite being legally blind, nothing gets past this wolf! 🎨: @juliusb.bsky.social

On the left is Edward's karate gi. In addition to his military CQC training, he appreciates the structured and powerful art of karate, training with Dean almost every day at his home dojo. It keeps his skills sharp and his mind clear. Not many butlers get the chance to strike their employers as part of their job, but Edward certainly does.

On the right is Edward in his typical butler outfit. One of the rules in Dean's house is that shoes are not allowed past the foyer, in order to keep the floors absolutely spotless and prevent the grime of the outside world from being tracked in. As such, Edward wears a special pair of socks with rubber on the soles that keep his movements deathly silent. Combined with his infiltration skills, no one ever hears him coming or leaving; perfect for the steward of the home.

It's a battle between Masters! Megumi heard from her student Renee that Dean's Sensei Luka was an exceptional martial artist and decided to see for herself. Now she can see where the cheetah's skill comes from! Shoutout to @juliusb.bsky.social and @aknight931 on Twitter for this birthday gift!

As a master of multiple martial arts disciplines, Luka is an extremely difficult fighter to isolate. He can flawlessly mix different styles together depending on the circumstances, and do it all with a smile on his face. He relishes the chance to fight a taekwondo master like Megumi, as it will show him his own flaws and provide some entertainment for the day.

Jasper doing what he does best: Teaching chosen students the intricacies of the greatest martial art ever invented (at least in his eyes) and aura farming. Thanks to @LViolet9 on Twitter for this awesome birthday gift of my grumpy German taekwondo jackal! I love it!

Jasper showing Leon the proper way to execute a side thrust kick. No wasted motion, no overextention. Simple, glorious, efficient. Jasper will have Leon drill this kick 500 times once he is done demonstrating.Recently, Jasper made friends with a possum who is really into photography. Truth be told, he really likes this possum, even if he does not show it. But the smile captured here may give it away...

One of the few times you will see Jasper happy is when someone is appreciating his immense skill in taekwondo, such as right now. Say hello! Shoutout to the awesome @ArtsGalinn on Twitter for doing this sketch piece for me, thank you so much!

Jasper Schoen holding his side kick, aka "yeop chagi", as high as he can with both arms behind his back and a smirk. His name is written in Hangul.

Before becoming a boxer, Henry practiced Taekwondo. The story behind it will be told later, but to Henry, it was the decision that saved his life. I drew this months ago, it's still one of my favorite Henry pieces. One day, I'll finish this picture by adding his teacher and martial arts brother. 🙂

Henry as a teenager recites the five tenets of Taekwondo - Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit. There is a great emphasis on never abusing his Taekwondo training, as Henry vowed he would never bully another person ever again.
