Starting GenCon off strong with a Tetanus shot and a bandaged finger 👍 (Nothing too bad, but I nicked my dominant index finger with a knife during set up). Had hoped to ink a couple sketches tonight to sell at the con but maybe not 🥲

Finished fit lineup for this project! I have rough sketches for Titania, Thavnairian, Suzaku, Wolf, and Divine Light but I'm not sure if I'll put those out just yet due to a combination of complications with those designs for this format, time, and uncertainty of how well this will do (1/3)

Initial tests of chocobo dress up stickers successful! Still waiting on a few more sticker sheet samples because I want to maximize the transparency of the stickers for more effective layering, but I’ll be going ahead and adding more barding designs. These will be at my Gateway Fate table in October

I’m trying really hard to read the books I have before I buy more but past me foolishly bought a lot of “book 1 of a series,” so I’ll finish a book and go “wow! I can’t wait for book 2!” and have to restrain myself from buying book 2 for like a year 😔
