Behind the Scenes: January Part 2

We're a little behind, but that's okay! There's a lot of exciting stuff going on, and I can't wait to share it with you guys!

Conventions

The convention circuit begins next month! 

✒️March 9 - 10, 2024: Tucson Festival of Books (Table 125)

✒️March 15 - 17, 2024: Game On Expo (We have a lot of people coming to this one. I'll also be running a panel on creating a LitRPG world)

✒️April 13, 2024 10am - 3pm: Barnes and Noble of Arrowhead 

✒️May 24 - 26, 2024: Phoenix Fan Fusion 

I'm working to set a date and time with Scale and Feather Meadery in Mesa for a launch party there as well. My hope is to jam out Volume 4 before then and have all four books ready. 

If everything goes well at the local conventions this year, my goal is to start heading out of state to see you guys next year!

New Pixel Art

I'm hoping to have an update on this in the next BTS, but I'm having pixel artwork done of Cannoli in her white Saoirse robes and Melly. We're growing ever closer to Melly becoming a front-runner.

New Tarot Card

The next Tarot Card in the set is Justice, which will feature Zahra and Sanrai.

Sanrai started as a character in another game, and I'm looking forward to seeing her as a catgirl.

WhiteCat came up with a bunch of sketch options for these two. Me, Sky, and WhiteCat went back and forth a few times on the best way to portray them.

We ended up choosing the first of the full bodies (the one on the left). I'm very excited to see how it turns out!

February Pin

Keke's New Year's pins are currently in production, and I'll get them shipped as soon as they arrive. Maon's now working on the February pin for Ravyn. Here's the first sketch:

I really love the tsundere look for her. We're going to change the bag to a box of chocolates that won't get cut off on the bottom of the pin. 

Volume 3 Paperbacks

I'm waiting to receive my copy from Amazon in the next few days, and then I'll put in the order for all of them after skimming through it one last time. Those with orders in Merchants of Nyarlea can look forward to them around the end of the month! Thank you guys for your support!

[Priest] Skills

Since Cannoli's officially in [Priest] training, I sat down and started working out her Skill tree.

It'll be fun to work them into Saoirse's history and the overall lore. I enjoyed introducing the three weapon options and giving a little context behind each of them in last night's chapter.

Bonus Saphira

Yesterday, Nams surprised me on Twitter with this gorgeous bust of Saphira. She really is a top-tier wife.

Thank you again for your patience and support. Please have a wonderful week, and I'll see you in the next update!
