Is it me or did Patreon do a huge overhaul on their website's UI, logo, and the way their homepage visuals are? I haven't visited since the last time I posted which was...several weeks ago. I'm honestly not sure if I like it because it feels like the site's background color is too white, it kind of hurts my eyes.

Anyways! Hello, how are you guys? I hope October has been well for you. As usual, stay warm (or cool depending where you are) and hydrated! Now, I gotta talk about some updates, well more on about the BronSeeles that I do have going on actually because that's really all I have been doing if it isn't some other project or Patreon stuff.

I haven't really started coloring the BronSeele I have in lineart and base colors but it does have base lighting to guide me. I did decide to change the background and instead of the wall of inside a room, I went for the window...balcony? Or at least what seems like it. It makes the lighting source more obvious this way. 

I do have some thoughts about the dolls, it isn't as cute as I want so I'll see if I should tweak them, they are on a separate layer anyway and I'm also missing some roses which I will add later on.

Anyway, the reason I've been holding off coloring this for a while now is that 1.) I'm trying to look into the folder/layer situation I have because there should be 3 versions of this illustration. The first version is this picture as you see. The second is Seele without her shirt with the third and last one of them fully naked. I realized that I can't really use one layer only for the lighting because turning off the clothes would leave me with floating lights because of the clothes so I have to either rethink my approach or rearrange some layers. 

For now, I'm just going to think about that after I'm done with my contest entries. I'm...kind of doing contest entries for the HI3 2023 contest and I'm trying to do both illustration and comics and the deadline is December...so yeah, I think I'll just get those entries done first before I continue with this if I do however finish early, I will jump back straight to it.

Of course, as usual, I'll be sharing all files of what I can share with you guys of those entries.

Anyways, for the chibis, I still have EulAmber and KokoSara left to do. I'm also going to take this chance to say that October and November SFW Chibi polls won't happen as I will be offering 6 BronSeele emotes instead for those months.

I've already shown the current status progress of these on Twitter but I'll also show it here as well, I just recently made the 5th one. I'm still thinking about what to put on the 6th one but I do hope I can finish all 6 of these next month so I can share it with you all.
