While I haven't been uploading much this year, it is made up in a variety of ways. Privately the hobbies I have been doing have been a lot more varied and spontaneous, so my Novem project has been "competing" for time in that sense.

Along with that, writing for Novem has increased and concepting art has slowed down. The sheer amount of work needing to be done is intimidating and it's hard to sustain my energy over an entire world's lore, language, story and 9 main characters plus 2 more I plan to add later as well... I have been writing "Bonding events" (akin to Fire Emblem 3 houses, C,B,A,S ranking), so for 2 characters with 4 ranks, thats 4 scenes in a script. So that's 36 scripts, and from current count, about 100 scenes. Each of my current full scripts are averaging 250-300 lines of dialog roughly. I have barely dented that 36 quota. Not to mention that's not including the player character.

ADDITIONALLY I have my "chose your own story" novelisation on a crawl and my game design document ticking away when random motivation strikes. I find writing exhausting and it's very hard to be confident about it. I can't see this project being done anytime soon, probably for many years more.

Drew this thumbnail based on a scene I wrote, it turned out super close to my imagined scene. This character is an incredibly delicate subject, one I am quite passionate about and want to do justice. I've recently got the book 'Band of Brothers', to help make sure, (after the research I've already done), that I am not trivializing nor dramatizing history and problems that are so important, in my writing. I think the PTSD and un-answered needs for recovery in post-war or deployed soldiers is a topic often skipped over or used in cringe-worthy ways with peoples OC's.

I listened to the "Voices of the First World War, Shell Shock." Which was incredibly insightful, since it was veterans own recordings on the subject. I am a big advocate for remembering what the world war's truly were.

'To drink from the Lambswool' -05/01/25 First piece of the year. Twelfth Night inspired merged with a concept I had floating around in my head for the past month. I am real happy with it, finally feeling like my idea's are coming out right. The more I draw, the closer I'll be, which is very exciting :)

Cold Steel IV Altina Orion Fan Art. I loved her character, always have a preference for the more robotic and/or less dramatic characters.

Used for the Neutral and Taldaria Faction Scenes
