Other Writing:

Pretty much halted progress on everything but 7 Wonders concept art and this really big comic commission at the moment. Here's some previews of those commissions, though, since I haven't really done anything like that in a while.

I don't really have an excuse, it just consistently slipped my mind and then I'd think "I'll get to it next time."

Recent news, I submitted a short story to Strange Horizons magazine so hopefully that gets picked up. Besides that I'm still working on one last commission from last year before I get to commissions from this year.

Also working on more adoptables, though slower than the commissions since they're not a sure thing. I want to get back to working on original projects too, though; I missed working on Marzipan and Yakuza Magical Girl.

In the meantime, here's some fun stuff I did the past couple weeks. The grief seeds with designs are made with my old template but there's a new template there too. Also I just realized that those soul gems *almost* have the same colors as the Holy Quintet. Funny how that works out.
