I'm at @sowerbooksne.bsky.social for a book launch event for @lydiakang.bsky.social and Tosca Lee--
Playing the game of "How many times can I check out in the fifteen minutes before the event starts?"
So far the count is three.

With the disclaimer that I'm a very sporadic hobbyist who mainly draws to sustain fan art of my own DND characters, I decided to attempt a redraw from "Our Wizard Just Died" arc while watching Ep 2 of CR 4.
