thank you!! 🥰 and you're so right, they really need a long, relaxing vacation after everything they've been put through 😅🍹

Thanks~🥰 I love imagining what NLA's citizens get up to when they're not fighting for their lives, worrying over the Lifehold, hostile xenos, etc lol. When there's that much stress/excitement in life, the mundane stuff can become a lot more interesting ✨

and they are 100% a found family, agreed!! 💖

It's an idea I'd been sitting on for literal years, not knowing when/if there'd ever be a good time to actually work on it... but well, a 10 year anniversary seemed like the perfect time to finally make it happen... so here we are. 🫠💖

I wanted to portray a side of Mira that's more mundane - people's day-to-day lives basically, since most of our experiences during the story tend to be very high-stakes and stressful.

And what better way to do that than by having my Cross capture those silly memories through photos and writing? 🥰📸

the actual behind the scenes

i've never done anything like a magazine cover before, so doing the research for it was a new & interesting experience 👀 although, i think the only thing i really learned from this in the end was... typography takes a lot more thought than just "put text here" 😅💦

(one more week until 3.4/Snowy let's goooooo ☀️)
