January Behind the Scenes

Added 2025-01-30 20:54:50 +0000 UTC

It's the end of January, and we have a lot to celebrate! Like Arizona finally getting some rain!

I hope everyone's had a fantastic month and that your resolutions (if you made them) are treating you kindly.

The Streams

Both the writing stream and ravyn streams have had a lot of new content added!

Ry's avatar for the writing stream is almost done:

And we added a whole slew of new emotes:

Thanks to Jack, we also have a budgie cam that hangs in the top right of our stream! Everyone's really loved the live feed of Rappy and Bally, and they're too cute on camera.

For Ravynvt, we're steadily getting WIPs for the new VTuber from VTanjo:

And I'm having a new animated opening and intermission created by MillyLilly! Here's one of the storyboard panels for the opening:

We'll have new panels, new emotes, new everything. I'm very excited about the overhaul coming up in the next few months!

The Monthly NSFW Art

I haven't heard back from Aridan in a little over a month. We were supposed to have Ara for November, but I have yet to see a sketch. But I still want to make sure you guys get art once a month.

Right now, my plan is to get a Yanni piece from KhunKhai for February and then something else for March. After that, we're looking at working with Pataypusa every month for the rest of the year. Thank you for your patience while we make this transition!

In the meantime, please enjoy this adorable Cannoli by Maon:

Volume Five

Volume Five's progress is going well! As I posted previously, Amazon finally let the ebook through. Please take a second to leave a review! The magic number we need is 20 reviews as fast as possible, and it's one of the best free ways to support the series!

The first paperback copy is supposed to get here early next week for us to go through and do final checks before we order everyone's. The cover looks incredible:

I wanted to one-up the letters from Magni in Volume 4, so everyone who ordered Volume 5 in the Kickstarter or preorders it in Merchants of Nyarlea will receive a free 5 x 7 of this print (WIP):

The Art

Matt's tarot card is complete, and we're now moving on to the minor arcana! A huge thank you again to SkySom, Janna, DiscountDan and WhiteCat Arts for helping bring this all to life! This project is a dream come true, and I can't wait to see the whole deck printed out.

There has also been a slew of new fanart in the Discord server, and I cannot thank you guys enough! It gives us so much joy that you connect with the characters and world enough to want to see them realized.

Ceres rushing in by Fureshii14 and sponsored by Jack!

And speaking of realizing characters...

We had our very first surprise cosplay! Cosplaydoll came to the event last weekend dressed as Cannoli, and we had to pick up our jaws from the ground. She was absolutely stunning! If you have an Instagram account, please go drop her a follow!
