I'm back in action, friends. For real this time. It's been a hellish year, but I'm salvaging the rest. I have an immense backlog of creative things I've been wanting to announce & share. I entered my "soft reboot era" this month, so I was inspired to make a new illustration. 1/4 🧵

Let's talk Chiyo Kirunaka, Eru gets enough attention.
I have an 8 hour meeting so a bit of a history yap on her leading up to why she was/is important.
Chiyo, during her mortal life, was a young Tuyo woman born around 17 years before the start of their "common era."

It's not much, and it didn't take long... but it's the end of my weekend and I wanted to end it with something relaxing. I whipped up a quick little art of a night sky to feel some peace.
Stars made with Krita's built in star brush, so it's nothing impressive. The only purpose of this was to chill

On marriage and partnership in the PD, pre and during the Greed Wars:
The Good Thyme gang has a saying, that “love is free and infinite” which for them means that they love without marriage and they love as

Yessss I look forward to it! (Full disclosure I'm married as well as polyamorous, but also have complicated feelings about the institution/how it's structured in our society, and always interested in different relationship paradigms! IMO "fuck marriage" is a valid perspective even if it isn't mine)

Most civilizations on Nixtral historically have been of the mind that “love is universal” & early humans expressed that via polyamorous relationships known as ‘covens.’ The concept of marriage was, in fact, devised by what were known

Time for an art reveal! @bonsquiggle.bsky.social did a fantastic job with this sketch of Tanis, main character of my saucy sword & sorcery heist “He Who Sows” (from @jmanfredweichsel.bsky.social’s anthology Sword & Scandal)
You may see more of Tanis. I intend to reprint “He Who Sows” in 2026!

The world has captured her curiosity! On the days when her rage burns out, Le Dey is able to behold the wonders outside the glade ☺️
Such thoughts are easily dispelled when confronted with those who wish to exploit her kind. To them, she shows no mercy! 😣

Do they prefer text? If text, do they answer right away?
Is it ringtone or vibrate?

Give us an alternate title to your WIP. Another title you considered, your working title, or a joke title.
Potential examples:
Of Mice and Men was originally Something That Happened
The Da Vinci Code might've been ScavengerHuntWIP
Frankenstein could be How to Make a Guy in 10 Days

Some are human, some aren't. For the non-human: In my world there are what can be referred to as legally distinct Pokémon: Beluan.
They're critters inspired by the creatures whose serial numbers I filed off in the effort to dodge a C&D from famously litigious Nintendo.

If not, tell me a little about what they are!
If so, are there any non-human species they interact with regularly? Tell me a bit about them and the type of relationship they have!

I drew Mitzi since it's been a while. She shows up in the 2nd part of the story, set 3 years after Arenn & Shizuka meet.
She lost an arm and both legs above knee in attack. Rehab led her to become a skilled mechanic and path crawler driver.
