Saturday Update!

CURRENT CG COMPLETION: 169[nice]/181

Warning: Mild [ no shlong, but Derek being nasty/horny ]

Hello again friends!

I'm pleased to report another great week in the books! It was a good week for productivity and my own personal mental health. Thanks to some art recycling, I squeezed in an extra day of production work :D 

I've also just been having a real nice week in general. I've gotten back on the yoga train since the youtuber I like [ Yoga with Adriene ] started posting a new 30-day set. I get a bit sore but I feel really good because I think I'm getting slightly stronger these days. I can plank longer! 

I've also been eating very well since I've been putting more effort into cooking. I quit receiving Hello Fresh boxes and just grabbed my fav recipes from them to make myself at my own will. Eating cooked food that I like really improves my mood! 

On top of all that, I've been enjoying some chill videogaming and I've gotten some really REALLY kind messages from people being crazy supportive and I just couldn't be more thankful. 

I just feel like I suddenly really have my shit together and have such a pleasant work/life balance. Good mental health is such a fucking blessing 😭 January fucking rips dude, it's just ALL routine and I am thriving LMAO in my lane, moisturized, unbothered 😌🌱

Anyway, enough of my hollering about how awesome January is, let's get into the art!

Here's the completed work from last week's sketch! I had a very pleasant stream working on it ^o^ And I feel like it came out just how I wanted it to. It's one of the first CGs [ or maybe the actual first? I can't remember rn ] you see on Derek's route so I wanted it to come out good.

Next up is Derek being.... himself x'D Image speaks for itself honestly- although I am rather pleased with the bokeh effect on the stars- kinda wished I figured that earlier but c'est la vie!

And I also have a Long CG™ which is comprised mostly of recycled CG. The room on the right is already a CG, but I edited it slightly to make it nighttime instead of day- then added the brick wall for the left which didn't take very long to draw. I got this one done in a single day so it gave me the opportunity to get a sketch done for next week :D [ also the reason it's so wide is because you mostly only see the wall, but it animates and shows you the right side for just a split second- that's why I wasn't too bothered by art recycling ]

And lastly, I'm feeling good this week so I'll show my sketch again- It's Mason, wide as a fuckin truck

Upside down on purpose ;)

I also want to mention how few scenes are left!! There's 12 CGs left, but there's actually very few scenes. Mason's path has only one scene left with 3 CGs [ this sketch included, one of which will be ], Celia's path has only 2 scenes left [ 2 CGs each ] and Derek's path shockingly only has 1 scene left- but it's a doozy at 5 CGs worth, which I'm afraid I can't show you guys due to heavy spoilers ^^;

We're really rounding the bend guys @_@ I kind of can't believe I'm so close to being done all this art after working on it for like 2 years. WHAT WILL MY LIFE EVEN BE LIKE!? Busy choosing audio I'm sure LMAO but that's future me's problem. For now, I still keep my head down and get the art done.

Anyway, thank you guys so SO much for your support! I'm so grateful to be able to work on this and to have miraculously gotten this far. It's such a pleasure to work for you <3 I honestly can't imagine anything I'd rather be doing. Thank you! ^o^

Stay safe and have a good week! Credits update coming tomorrow!
