My college work started earlier this month, and it appears it will be more involved than last semester, so please forgive me in advance if some things are a bit delayed.

SubscribeStar Requests (Limited Tiers):

As a reminder, since I moved those to a 60 day timer, it's highly possible (depending on the request) that I'll roll over into a new month before I get to work on them, so it is completely fine if you'd like to merge that request with one for the next request during the next month. You can also change your mind on the request for something else, provided the request isn't in the sketch column or further right on the trello in general. Sometimes I barely have anything done when something is still in the sketch column, so don't be afraid to ask if it's in there. (Trello for reference: https://trello.com/b/CZPqFKkf/paid-artwork-progress)

There is technically nothing stopping you from just waiting a bunch of months to merge the requests together into a long sequence, but I don't think anyone would actually do that...

Other:

I started playing Metaphor: ReFantazio earlier in the month. I wanted to play it for a while and it went on a heavy discount (and I have that new graphics card) so I finally got it. It's a long game so I am slowly trudging through it. I'd like to think I'm 2/3rds of the way through the game, but I'm not looking up how long the game is. The Eugief tribe (basically, small bat anthros) are pretty cute, though I don't think I'd draw one unprompted. Great soundtrack.

I also had the game Kernel Hearts forced onto me to play Co-Op. The easiest way I can describe this game is that it's a "Very Flawed Gem". Great soundtrack and I like the bosses, but it lacks variety in places. Co-op progression is terrible due to how things are set up and they are ironing out some bugs, so I really can't recommend it (though if they fixed all the bugs, I don't think I can recommend it at that price unless they add more content and adjust co-op / story progression to not be asinine). I was also jumpscared by 2 surprise furry characters when everyone else was human. I had a nagging feeling it was TF, but I wanted to give it a benefit of a doubt (it turned out in the end, it was TF related). Judging from their October roadmap, they appear to be focusing on bugfixes and systems to make new players less confused, so I don't know if they plan on adding things like alternate bosses /stages to make runs feel less samey in the future.

Thank you for the support.
