Good morning! The weekend's here!

I am very happy to report that my health is finally tangibly improving. On Wednesday I was able to sit at the computer for 2 hours pain-free, and by Thursday I made it through an entire workday without a headache flaring up! I'm genuinely very relieved because I was starting to get scared that I was gonna be in pain forever 😂

I'm still taking it easy and using all my strategies to keep healing. I've had a lot of theories for what's wrong with me but now I think it may have been mostly a neck injury/mild disc/nerve damage. According to google, the symptoms and healing time match up. And I know exactly how I could have caused something like that 😅 Around the time everything started, I was routinely doing a 'new move' after yoga that I made up that's basically bridge pose but fully on my neck and then just grinding it against the mat for a while. I thought it felt like a deep tissue massage 🤦‍♀️ But yeah. Maybe putting my entire bodyweight on my neck and grinding it against a cork mat wasn't the brightest move. Lesson learned 🤣

As for productivity, I think I did alright last week! I'm still using my Fridays for working on the book cover, so it's not as much as pre-injury still, but I think things are turning up.

[ Please don't repost my stuff to social media | Пожалуйста, не публикуйте мои работы в TikTok. ]

I also got quite a bit done on the book cover for Love Like Drowning!

The art for the front cover is complete:

And I've nearly finished inking the art for the back cover now:

Thank you to everyone who hung out with me during the stream and helped with decision making!

Willow corner!

Thank you so much everyone for your support! ^o^ Have a safe and fun weekend! And of course, see you next week!

I hope your health continues to improve as for me, I still want to drink the water from the book cover it looks alive

Gatobob

beryl

Hey gato! I feel kind of silly asking this but will there be an ending where we are in a relationship with him?? Like the ending he takes our legs and arms or 'you both know the truth'??

jackknifeJaws

good to hear youre better :) and willow is cute as always! xp

Gatobob

I'm not sure I would classify either of those as 'being in a relationship' LMAO but there are a wide variety of endings :) that's all I'm really willing to say

beryl

HEHEHSUEHEJEJS THANK YOUUU

Sayuri_the_Weebo

I’m so happy to hear that you are doing better now! :) take it easy and take your breaks! ❤️

Zooming in and staring at various details in the barrel pic is my new hobby now. The way you colored Sinclair's hands. The edges of the barrel cut. The front leg seam on Julian's knee. Julian blushing ears-first. His hair flopping over his arm. The knife. The water reflection. 😭 I feel so lucky that you wanted to draw it for me it's sentimental and emotional for me no matter what but also you're very talented and the art is truly priceless ;-; I'm impressed by how fast you fixed the sketch and inked the reverse drowning pic and it came out amazing. It's heartwarming that you know the characters so well that you capture them and their personalities perfectly without any direction from me. 😭 I love Julian's floating-in-the-water hair and can't wait to see him in a wet shirt ;w; edit: ALSO LAWRENCE'S "BUT I DONT WANT TO LIE TO YOU" i love him your honor.

willow always such a cutie!! so excited to see blue lawrence

cannedghosts

the patient needs low angle lawrence sprites to live

Nagito Komeada

THAT LOVE LIKE DROWNING COVER IS SICCCKKKK!!! I WANNA READ IT SO BAD BUT I HAVE NO MONEY 💔💔💔

Maman

Oh my god the hand on the face 😍 😫 and he doesn't lie?! (Here at least) What a man what a man/what a litch 😫💙 And I love the look on his face in the death screen god bless 🙌 as long as im making him happy!!! Yesssiir 💙🙌🤠✨️✨️ wow wee woo wah!!!!!!!! 😍 aUGGH Is there anything you can share that's gonna be a little different?? I know you're making him less "nervous baby boy" and I can definitely see it in the images, but I'm just so excited. I wanna know the teaaaa aaugghhhh 😍😍 (if there's nothing else you can say it’s okay lol 😆) Also Gato, girl, PLEASE be careful with your neck 😭 I watched this chubbyemu video where this mom was cracking her neck on her stair case and it wound up killing her I think 😭 im so paranoid about neck stuff now. Im glad you're feeling better though! And the book cover is beautiful. Much love to you and Willow 💙✨️💖

Willow Wisp

I too, have made up a stretch that hurt my neck. Not as much as yours though, glad you’re starting to feel better!!!! Lawrence…. 😛😛

Gatobob

Baw 😭 I'm so glad that you really like the art! I'm having so much fun working on them, and it's an honour to be able to contribute in some way to that incredible book. And honestly it's just been really great to work on something completely different from my game sometimes LMAO I love working on the game of course, but it's such a massive mountain of work that it often feels like I'm not getting anywhere, and having a smaller project I can really see the progress on is a real pick-me-up. Getting to experiment has been so fun too! I'm so jazzed about the water effect that I'm glad I'll be doing more on the second pic 🤣

snoe

i want to put him in my mouth and shake him around like a dog with a toy OUGH

doomthegloom

laws took too many fingers ending

serpulalacrymans

OMG Is that the ending where we see the river afterwards mayhaps??? I wanna eat him alive u have no idea eeeughhh So happy you're finally recovering and mostly pain free!! Can't wait to see how the back cover turns ouuutt💥💥💥

Mari Zen

Saturday news :D!!! I'm very happy to hear that you're getting better (for God's sake the neck thing was wrong, that area is very sensitive and especially with inappropriate positions 😟... please don't do it). I really liked seeing El Progreso both by Lawrence and the cover (I love your drawing style, great artist). Keep doing what you love with patience and passion ☺️, many blessings for your health and vocation 🙏🏻. PS: Your kitten is so beautiful, how jealous... at least give him a hug from me hehe 🥺❤️🐱

Ashe

Yesterday's broadcast was so much fun!! I'm so glad your health is improving ^_^ AWW WE LOVE WILLOW!!

meowafl/kisha⌆

OH OMFG is this an ending?? and..we get to know about Lawrences sisters? and his lore, childhood generally? What abt the plants in his room? Do you choose them based how much they need sun? cos..my gf is plants nerd and she’s doing my head in always talking about what plants Lawrence has and how they're set up in his room(゚ー゚*)

Lady

There’s gotta be a scene where we tangle tongues with this fool lolol NICE WORK AS ALWAYS GATO :]] and willows looking so polite daww

kajerone

Sooo glad to hear about the health improvement! I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say I was gettin’ pretty worried too 😅 also delicious art and a DEATH SCENE ohhhohohoho my boy 🙏🙏🙏🙏 The cover is GORGEOUS I’m excited to see the back!!

Luciano

Poor stinky Bojangles he doesn't want that :(

Gatobob

There's gonna be a lot that's different! It's at least as much change as Strade had. More, actually. But I can't be spoiling the specifics now ;)

Gatobob

Stinky B is just having the worst time riperoni

Yolka

It looks really cool! The only news I have so far is that I'm going to register for Ao3.

HazeyValve

so glad you’re feeling better! i don’t know why but i just cannot visualize your explanation of the cause of your neck pain, i have no idea what that pose could be XD all i can imagine is that clip of homer running in circles on the floor LOL i also have two questions if u don’t mind ! will there still be a secret scene if we name ourselves an earthy name (& will the list of names be the same as in BTD)? and since ren is a fox and lawrence is a deer.. what animal do u think strade would be? i see a lot of people say a boar or a bear but im just curious if you’d have an interpretation of it :)

lyrium-ghost

I'm so glad you're feeling better and have a good idea of what caused it!! So so so excited to see how well the art for the book is doing, I loved popping into your streams to check it out.

SpexTheShark

Oh you cooked! (Lawrence leave my appendages alone pls-) And thr book cover 🤤 it was so cool to watch it all come together! 10/10, would drink water from that barrel ✨️

Gatobob

Honestly the homer thing isnt that far off LMAO There’s still a small reaction from Lawrence for plant themed names, but no affection increase [ I dont want it to affect gameplay this time ] I think of Strade’s animal as being a boar 😌 I like this choice because they’re omnivores, not carnivores, and many people underestimate how dangerous they are. I designed his YKMET look after deciding this, and that’s actually why I chose to make his bottom teeth more prominent

Nor

Yay! I'm so glad you're feeling better! Today's spoilers are just INCREDIBLE—I'm really curious to see what the endings will be like. I can't wait! The covers are gorgeous, too—I'm drooling over them!!!

HazeyValve

ohhh shit that’s so sick! i had no idea but it totally makes sense, i LOVE how his teeth look, his fangs fit him so well

Juicyorangegrl

it's awesome that you're feeling better!!

peebsie

Hallo gato and willow, glad to hear you’re doing better…YKMETL looks great as always, and the book cover is really pretty..have a great week okay?

Annepey775

OMG NOT THE YOGA MOVE TRYING TO END YOU. I'm so freaking glad you've been freed Willow looks AMAZING and ummm not Lawrence being like "I don't wanna lie to you" ... but you wanna cut off Stinky Bojangles' fingers?! Bruh I need you to lie EXPEDITIOUSLY say it was the demons (⁠ب⁠_⁠ب⁠) Also I'm so glad I got to see you do more of your cover art! I've never watched an art stream before and it was really cool to see exactly how muchhh goes into it. They're gonna look AMAZING on the book Also Willow's full frontal bow cuteness nearly killed me and that's how I'd prefer to go

Maman

EEEEEE *insert foaming man from Avatar TLA gif*

Sm1l3-d3m0n

"Sucking" an exhaust "pipe" ey... 👁️👄👁️ If we get an ending where MC dies choking on that thang I'm gonna implode

⛤𝕾æ𝖒𝖆𝖊𝖑⛤

Hi Gato :D I’m relatively new to Patreon and the fandom, but I’ve played all your games and just wanted to say how much I love the art and effort you put into each one! My absolute favorite so far is YKMET: Strade. I got all the endings, achievements, and concept art <3 The updates about YKMET: Lawrence have also been scrumptioliscious, and I seriously can’t wait for the game to come out!!! I'm really glad to hear you seem to be doing a bit better! I hope things continue to improve and your body stops playing games with you hahaha. I’d love to attach some fanart I made of Strade as Till Lindemann in the album Sehnsucht by Rammstein, but unfortunately I can’t <\3 (I think he'd be a great fan of them)

Kiki

"I should say I'm sorry, but I don't want to lie to you" might be my fave sprite so far omg, the bar is certainly high but this really takes the cake for me, he looks so fckn done XD

Phily

where do you stream? 🥺 I'm glad you're feeling better, hope soon you'll be at 100% ❤

Gatobob

Picarto! I’m just Gatobob on there

corn

Yaaay im so happy ur feeling better!!

Leah

Only white man I love.. peak 🫶🏻🩷

S0ULBL00D

i love seeing the comments like “ you took to many drugs ending “ and you replying “nope” 🤣

6RobotMonster6

Yay!!! Im so happy your healing and feeling better! 🎊 Lawrence and the book cover looks so amazing!! That " I dont want to lie to you" line is so hot 😻😻😻😻❗️❗️Chat we are so back ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

curse

I wonder why he cares about lying to the MC or not. What is his relationship to any integrity of any kind..? In his original route he sort of had this black and white thinking. Bad ways to be such as deceitfulness through attractiveness. So interesting.

Mortimerina

I really like that you show us just enough to keep us intrigued, but not too much to spoil the mystery 🌚🩵 Will the new Lawrence be much scarier than his first version? In the game he was so shy and unstable.. it created such a great contrast with Strade! You really know how to surprise us 🌿🦌🍂

Gatobob

That's pretty hard to answer since 'scary' is very subjective LMAO But I suppose there is more content in this version that I intend to be scary

JiangshiBi12

Its the "sucking on his dick" ending
