Hey, there -- your friendly neighborhood veterinary assistant here with a little reminder~
KEEP YOUR WEED OUT OF REACH OF YOUR DOG
We've seen so freakin' many weed tox patients already this month. Your Labradoodle doesn't know the difference between your edible and a dog treat.

The nice thing about my job is that you can be having an extremely busy, difficult, and emotionally draining day...
...and then somebody brings in a couple of kittens. 💕

And just because I wanted to see all the goobers together, I took the full-body pics from their respective sheets and slapped 'em together.
It's not perfect, but I'm awfully darn proud of how these turned out both art-wise and character design-wise.

And with that, the main cast is set!
I'm not used to drawing more muscular dudes, but I think I finally figured it out in the end.

The soaring elation of discovering that the Nokia 3210 came back in 2024 and is cheap enough for my budget is matched only by the crushing realization it doesn't work with my family's phone plan.
Shit.
Shit.

It was way past time to update my PFP, so I finally went ahead and got it done. I'm pretty darn happy with how it turned out, even if it did end up looking a little like a Picrew.
Regardless, howdy -- I'm Kato. I still draw cute girls, tough guys, and creepy mysteries.

Before I went any further, I slapped the two side by side to make sure they felt cohesive. I like to think they read well enough as twins and hopefully their designs are clear enough to give you a sense of who the two are without needing all the extra text in the main sheets.
I'm happy with it!

Finally finished the twins! I wanted them to have enough similarities to be obviously recognizable as siblings, but also have as many traits that are uniquely theirs.
It's easy to get sloppy with your main OCs, so as silly as it felt at first, I'm glad I got around to these.

I updated my Patreon tiers!
Now "Stars and Sips Society" can join monthly writers' rooms calls on Discord, to get story advice and brainstorming help from me and other creators.
In the last one we discussed one member's short stories, another member's comic, and my own plot problem in Chapter 5.

Flats! I need to do the rest of the background, but that's a good place to stop. (I should've been in bed an hour ago.)
My new job gives me a lot more time to work on my projects, although the workdays themselves are longer. May as well make the most of the days off!

I've desperately needed to make proper character reference sheets for Shinobu and Cole for some time now. I still can't figure out why I get so nervous making these darn things!
I'm still doing the sketchy Nora journal ones, too, but these are more for the actual comic work. (With trivia, though!)

Practicing a simpler coloring for the comic than what I'm usually comfortable with! I think it looks good enough, though, and that's good enough for me. (Also, yes, small preview!)

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.
