When I haven't drawn any of my characters in a while, and I forget the gradient is set to Belial's hair. XD

First thing I've drawn in three weeks as I've been so drained from being so sick lately. I'm still recovering, but I just wanna get back to it, so here's a little practice to ease me back into things.

So here's me posting this again. Same rules apply. Relike/reshare/rerepost if you like, and make sure to include #15YearsOfRain in your posts.

Merry Halloween, everyone. Thanks to some leftovers not sitting well with me, my costume this year is a "layabout on the couch trying not to barf." XD
Since I'm not doing much else now, here's last year's drawing of my ratsona as a dragon, and real life me - like a decade ago - as a dark fairy. 🧡

10 games to get to know me.
(And by 10, I mean 20.) ;P
Saw these floating around lately, and wanted to join in. :)

I do struggle with drawing crowds, but it just wasn't going to feel right unless all these kids were there. :)
This doesn't mean it's finished yet, but I just want y'all to know that little by little, we're getting there.

Been almost two weeks since my last Volume 7 update.
Don't worry. I may have gone quiet, but I've been working all along. I've taken like one day off in the last month, and am just four pages away from finishing the art for the 40-page bonus chapter! I'm gonna sleep for a week when this is done. XD

For whatever reason, I'm enjoying it quite a bit this time around. I don't really know what changed.
Anyway, long story short, I'm kind of obsessed now, so I made a [vaguely rat-shaped] bugsona. XD

To be clear, I haven't played Silksong (yet). But I had a stream of some early gameplay in the background, and saw this character, Sherma, and I immediately love her. She's so freaking adorable.
So here's a cute little warmup doodle.

Fun fact! We've seen her before on Aiken's shirt once during Chapter 26. In the page blurb, I call her a Singatron (playing off Vocaloid). That said, I admit, I've never really followed Vocaloid, so I don't have a witty specific character name for her.
So I'm just going with Matsune Hiku. :P

I was once told that I have "a weird habit of wasting good character designs on NPCs who don't matter." I never figured out if that was a compliment or a criticism. Anyway, here's some of background characters who'll appear in the final bonus chapter. ^_^

Been missing my AuDHD child while I focus on the book, so I took a break from drawing to draw something else. Please enjoy this little doodle of Chiaki being totally engrossed in some "Wyrm Adventure Beasts" instead of finishing her Summer homework.
Okay. Back to work!

I haven't been following the Wplace stuff too closely, myself, but I've had folks reach out to me with Rain stuff they've either made or spotted and it's been really making my day. I'm super flattered that of all the things people could draw in there, people would pick characters and designs I made.
