🎵 If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again
And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew...🎵

Sevy from The Sevy Series

Figured it was time to do a proper portrait of the girl who started it all.

One of these days, I’ll finally learn that setting schedules for myself doesn’t work! I tend to create them based on what I’m able to accomplish on my most productive days rather than my worst, and unfortunately, that’s just not realistic or sustainable for me.

I’d wanted to have the reboot of Shades of War done by the end of autumn, and that obviously didn’t happen. Then I tried to have it done by the end of the holiday season, and that didn’t happen either. I’ve had a few people asking when it’s going to be ready, and I’m genuinely sorry it’s been taking so long. All I can tell you is that I’m still working on it every single day; it’s just that I never seem to get as much done in one go as I plan to. I can obsess over a single paragraph for hours at a time, to the point where I start questioning whether or not I still understand English! So to preserve what’s left of my sanity, I’m not going to put extra pressure on myself by trying to meet another deadline, and the best I can say is that the new and improved Shades of War will be coming soon.

After that, I’ll be dedicating some time to finishing the short story I’ve also been working on (because after all these months of editing, I really, really need to write something new for a change!), and then I’ll start the reboot of Masquerade and go from there.

This has been an excruciating process, and I occasionally wish I’d left well enough alone, but I have faith that, when all’s said and done, the time I’ve spent rebooting The Sevy Series will have been worth it. And I hope you guys will think so too 😊

🎵 Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And now tell me, is it over now, do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home...🎵

I really should be editing right now, but Irea had other ideas. 😏

Trena from The Sevy Series
Character and artwork by me!

Another day, another character portrait. This time it's of Trena, a prostitute turned housewife who I originally created to be a one-shot pseudo-antagonist at the beginning of THIEF. But I ended up liking her and the interactions she has with Sevy so much that I brought her back and gave her a much bigger role in the series.

I'm super happy with how this picture turned out, and I'm most proud of her eyes because I think they capture her personality perfectly! In fact, I'd go so far as to say that this is my best portrait yet! What do you think? And is there any particular character you'd like to see next?

Happy holidays from me and my three favourite troublemakers!

I meant to post this a few days ago, but meh! I’ve already decided that one of my new year’s resolutions will be to quit setting deadlines for myself because my neurodivergent little noodle is just gonna do things on its own schedule anyway. No sense driving myself crazier then I already am! 😝

Just wanted to share a couple of my favourite sayings for anyone out there who may need to hear them right now:

“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
“No is a complete sentence.”

Revik from The Sevy Series
Character and artwork by me!

I've been practicing my overpainting skills this week and decided to use Revik as my guinea pig. I mean, why wouldn't I? He's a fan favourite, and you know he loves the attention 😝 I still haven't been able to capture him exactly as I see him in my head, but I think I'm getting closer!

I’m 44 years old today! How the hell did that happen? 😂 Oh well, here’s a throwback pic of the cute little snow baby I used to be in the 80s.
