( Image: A little WIP of an upcoming design for acrylic charms, coming soon! )

Hello, everyone!! I am diving in really quickly to let you guys know that things are much better on the fronts of both my spine and dealing with two losses --- but I fear I am not out of the woods, yet!! 〣 ( ºΔº ) 〣 My wife and I spent yesterday in the hospital because we have both been so sick and it turns out that we both have a nasty case of Covid. After being prescribed inhalers and a boatload of meds (and after a night of restful sleep) we are both starting to perk back up but there is still something of a long battle ahead as we try to get kinda ... back into what our lives and plans were before everything kind of hit at once. I'll be alright!! Both of us will. We just have to do a lot of resting, in the meantime.

Unfortunately this means less comic work for a little bit. I am determined to have Dakishimete!'s prologue DONE before summer really comes in swinging. Right now I am working on so many things at once, including (and in no particular order of importance OR completion) what follows:

✧. Finish Dakishimete! prologue!!
✧. Create art for acrylic charms of Fork, Risse, and the two together as a couple charm!!
✧. Make a new Raffle to celebrate 500 followers on CharacterHub!!
✧. Re-open commissions, including new commissions for OC chibi charms!!
✧. The dialog for Chapter 1 of Dakishimete!!!
✧. Fully launch new website!! 

I will likely be working on all of this while also trying to find a regular streaming schedule and while running around everywhere like a chicken with its head missing because I am going to be part of a really cool Cryptid Convention around where I live in the next couple of months.

I promise that my main focus is Dakishimete! --- the characters therein and the story itself. I'm gonna be workin' hard and streaming art and doing all kinds of things and I promise to absolutely check in now and again so you guys know what's up. I have just been SO SICK and unable to really think about words until now, honestly. Keep an ear to the ground; all kinds of fun stuff is gonna be happening this Summer and Fall!!
