Just started a BlueSky page to post more updates on the progress of Fantasy Euthanasia! It is a fantasy, psychological romance visual novel with mystery elements, inspired by 2000s shoujo manga (I came up with the idea 11 years ago). Check it out here: coren.itch.io/fanthanasia #otome #visualnovel

Glint is such a fun character. Such a big huggable bear. His wide frame is pretty fun to draw too. A simple yet effective design with strong shapes to him.
