<p>Today&#8217;s <a href="https://hpkomics.com/category/sketchbook/">sketchbook</a> features my kaiju character Polarstus. Polarstus is planned to appear in <em><a href="https://hpkomics.com/tag/cosmic-dash/">Cosmic Dash </a></em>at some point, particularly under the <a href="https://hpkomics.com/tag/xenotrackers"><em>Xenotrackers</em></a> umbrella. </p>



<p>He is a big boy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1" alt="Sketchbook drawing for hpkomics.com featuring the kaiju Polarstus, a star eater." class="wp-image-2138" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/031.png?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Star Eater himself.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Polarstus is also known in lore and legend around the galaxy as &#8220;the star eater&#8221; but few believe that this giant monster actually exists. The bulk of <em>Xenotrackers</em> is about brilliant xenobiologist Goja Femb, who earnestly believes there is an entire array of leviathan species out there; Leviathans being the term for kaiju in the comic.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="900" height="220" src="https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/xenotrackers.png?resize=900%2C220&#038;ssl=1" alt="Xenotrackers Logo (original)" class="wp-image-1112" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/xenotrackers.png?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/xenotrackers.png?resize=300%2C73&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/hpkomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/xenotrackers.png?resize=768%2C188&amp;ssl=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Xenotrackers Logo (original)</figcaption></figure>



<p>And yes, he is very heavily inspired by <em><a href="https://hpkomics.com/tag/godzilla-minus-one/">Godzilla</a></em>.</p>



<p>As for Polarstus, he has remained largely hidden because of long hibernation periods within stars, which seems impossible. But what is impossible to a <a href="https://hpkomics.com/tag/kaiju">kaiju</a>, anyway?</p>



<p>Let me know if you want to see me adapt <em>Dracula</em> someday. If you are interested in supporting what I do, you can do so through <a href="https://ko-fi.com/hpkomic">donations on Ko-Fi</a>. I also take <a href="https://hpkomics.com/commissions/">commissions</a>.</p>
