Emily Redraw!

Hey everyone!

I'm (nervously) excited to share with you all a refreshed face for the next update to House Chores!  Emily has finally received a re-draw that was critical for continuing on with her story.  I'll explain why:

== Why? ==

When the original artist left the project, he never gave Emily her various emotions. Notice how her appearance in the game is incredibly brief and she never changes expressions.  I tried to reach out to get these done but never heard back about it.

Because of this, when working with the new artist, we both agreed it'd be easier to start from scratch and re-draw to have proper expressions, a glasses-less variation, and easy support for more costumes in the future potentially!

Originally, we had experimented with a few different poses but ultimately I wanted to stick with the one closest to the original.  I think it's perfect for her personality and it looks very natural & comfortable!

== Change ==

The reason why I say I'm nervously excited is because for one, I absolutely LOVE this re-draw.  I think the pose is a bit more natural, the proportions still juicy, and her glasses-less version is the cutest thing I've seen in a while.

But I know not everyone is happy with any particular decision I make and when choosing to change a pre-existing thing, I've learned there are always some people who just don't like it.  Sorry to those who may not enjoy the change.  I hope you can grow to enjoy it if it's not initially to your liking.

== Future Redraws? ==

This is only an idea and it's not a top priority at the moment but the results of this re-draw have made me want to consider getting a re-draw for Julie & Linda as well.  For Julie especially, I wouldn't mind her pose being a little more comfortable.  For Linda, it would mostly be a consistency thing so her and all future characters can stay similar in proportions/coloring, etc.

Let me know your thoughts.  This isn't really a poll per say but maybe a lot of people would like to see that in the future as well. 

Now that Emily's gotten a re-draw, the next main focuses are a new location within the house and then back to some good ol' NSFW scenes!

That's everything for this update!  Thank you all so much for your support.  I will see you all soon with some more updates & teasers about what's coming next for House Chores! =D
