Hey, guys! Summer's well underway, and for those of you in school, I hope you're enjoying your breaks! ^^
It's been a bit crazy around here. Hard to believe we're already more than halfway through another year with COVID. When I had a week off work recently, I went and got my second vaccination. I got all the cold/flu-like side effects (not fun) while other family members who got the same vaccine had almost nothing. Not fair! XD
I am thankfully still able to work from home with no real mandate to get everyone back in the office again. (People who are comfortable with it are there.) I miss my double screens and my own work area but not the drive (plus it's nice to be able to sleep in a bit and wear my anime T-shirts instead of our usual business casual). And even though I'm vaxed, I'm still a bit uneasy about being in crowded places. My few trips to the Amazon return desk at the mall have been interesting... That said, my workplace has a staggered schedule of in-office vs. remote to keep office traffic light, so I probably can't compare it to a trip to the mall. ^.^;
Art/writing-wise, there's not a whole lot new to report: "Pet Projects" is my main project right now, which means I'm writing more than drawing again. On the drawing side, I'm trying to restart "Adventures in OCdom". I'm also obsessing over learning more about Myers-Briggs personality typing as a character exercise (but finding it personally interesting too). There's a neat challenge here that writers on theO should check out! I'm trying to pick out a song to use as my theme.
That's about it from me for the moment. What have you guys been up to? Hope you're all doing well and staying safe!
Hey, guys! Kita checking in!
Hard to believe it's already been just about a year since COVID started. My job has been kind enough to allow me to keep working from home, and my family is well, so I am grateful for that.
On the art/writing side...
- "Eternal Rain" is at an eternal standstill while I try to figure out how to dig it out of a great big pit of poor planning. Haha... -_-||| *slaps 15-year-old self for her patchwork worldbuilding* Good news is, I'm slowly...slowly getting there. I'll post a more detailed update in Eternal World sometime.
- "Pet Projects" has gone a little bit off of its planned path as the past part of the story is going a little longer than I meant it to. But it's good; it's character development for Shay.
I've been collecting some Webtoon series recently. I'm hooked on one called "Soleil". I was looking for something cute and harmless, and I got cute, mostly harmless and A SURPRISINGLY GOOD STORY. If you're looking for something cute and funny, there's also "Pixie & Brutus" -- because laughter is good, especially right now. Feel free to share what's been making you smile lately!
I've been seeing a lot of returning "faces" here, and that's really nice! A warm "welcome back" to them! Hope all of you are doing okay, and hugs through the screen! ^-^
Life in the backstreets of Innova City’s Harlein quarter is rough for the gangs of discarded human-animal splicing subjects that call them home. A young cat-hybrid named Shay was a fighter for one such gang. But meeting a sick stray named Tristan changed her view of the gang life, and she left to protect him. Now, Shay and Tristan run the Lost and Found, a ragtag group of stray hybrid kids. When the L&F inadvertently foils the kidnaping of a young human girl named Ayesha, they find themselves in more trouble than they bargained for. Will they be able to safely return her to her family?

It was a nasty clash in a cold, autumn downpour. One of the Wild Dogs came at me, and I threw him over my shoulder. From my left, a boy came at me and swung over my head as I ducked, slicing my right ear. Thankfully, that was all he got before I t...
