Hello my gemlins~! 💜

I've been quiet here but behind the scenes I've been working hard! Not only am I making very good progress with #MUTED pages, but I've also been doodling more again outside of just strictly work, which, let's be honest, I haven't really done all year, with minor exceptions.

I haven't felt this very, very strong urge to just spend all day drawing in so long and I'm happy I'm still able to feel this way ; _;) I didn't know how much I missed feeling like this.

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of just... quick gesture sketching to warm up for the past few days, I worked on some character designs for Lost To Time, and.... I started this ⬆ illustration of our boys a few hours ago and I wanna finish it tonight!! I've been recording the process too, so I'll post that along with the full-res version of the finished piece for $5 gemlins soon! 💜

Aside from that I have so much stuff to do @ _@)
I'm trying to get as much done as I can before it's time to pack orders, which is surely going to take a few weeks! Volume 02 preorders went very well, I'm so grateful and happy, but the real work begins now! I made final edits to the pages and can finally order the books now and then pray that the printing company doesn't mess up.

I'm counting my blessings, because fanta is actually coming here this weekend, we haven't seen each other in literal years ! I definitely wanna take some time to just spend with them and chill together when they first arrive, which is also part of the reason I wanna get as much done as possible now.

Fanta being here is not only going to be wonderful because I love them with all my hearts but also because they said they'd help me with packing books ; o;) I'm so luckkyyy~ 💜

Anyway, I'll go back to working on this illustration now, I just wanted to check in with you all! ^^

Lots of love~💜
