Saturday Update! (Patreon)

Hello folks! It's finally the weekend!

Last week was very.... eventful for me, so I'm afraid the sprite progress isn't quite as robust as I would like it to be ^^;

I got 22 done, when I generally aim for 30-35 😩

But, I know I did try my best so I'm not gonna dwell on it!

Image Finalization Progress: 296/743 - 40%

Last week I got my new Cintiq! I replaced my 9 year old Cintiq 13" with a Cintiq Pro 16" and it's very nice! It's silky smooth to operate and the colors perfectly match my newer computer screen- I didn't realize how 'off' my colors were as I was using the old Cintiq 😅

It did take a couple hours to fully set up the hardware/software and to properly pack up the old one. But the work is done now!

I also did a lot of condo-purchasing work. I finished reading all the condo docs and I organized and attended a professional inspection, which was very useful for telling me how I should concentrate future repairs. A couple of the appliances and a toilet were fully broken, but I expected as much LMAO There's a really surprising amount of broken glass and dishes in every appliance [ even the fridge???? ]. I found that a bit funny since the rest of the unit is totally cleaned out 😂

I also paid my deposit and got my lawyer and realtor in touch with each other. I removed my conditions so the next step should be actually getting possession for real 👀 it's exciting!

And of course, I'm sure you guys all know since my last update- I got briefly put in patreon jail for having nono drawings on my personal website. So that was a bit stressful for sure- but was thankfully fixed pretty quickly.

And of course all of this happened in like 34C heat so I was honestly having a bit of a hard time functioning [ my apartment doesn't have AC ]

BUT

I still got some sprites done! I managed to FINALLY finish the rest of the 'close2' sprites!

The remaining ones were more work since it wasn't just expressions, but pose and prop changes as well.

   I tried out drawing 'the player' with absolutely no shading at all, but a complete silhouette. I found that I actually really like this look a lot! I think it suits the style and still manages to get across the information that's needed. Sometimes less really is more!

And I think that's about all I have for you guys this time! Sorry for the slight rushing here, I'm on a bit of a time limit LMAO

But please do stay safe and have a great weekend- and stay cool and hydrated too!

Thank you all so much for your support!!! <3
