Still a WIP but getting closer!

at least have a non-shaded version :') every artists will thank you :') <3

Fun fact: Vianna and her people were originally going to have horns, but during early sketches, I ended up swapping to them having long ears instead just to avoid having to figure out how they wouldn't puncture their pillows.

Ordering two pounds of catfish at the grocery store for some reason got me a weird look, and I have no idea why. Is there some weird hate for catfish that I'm not aware of? Was one of my mother's best recipes.

Turns out, having a full time job, working on two books at once, running a stream, working on query letter stuff, AND art all at the same time is, in fact, too much for my brain to handle. I have successfully found my limit!

Heroes of the Storm getting a revival was not on my bingo card, but I'm not complaining. Steadily getting back into it.

So, I bought that giant vaporeon off the pokemon center website on a whim and... umm, it's WAAAAAAAAAY bigger than I expected! Queen sized bed for scale because I have no bananas.

It's been... two years or so since I last played wow. I have not had any interest in going back to retail, but wow Forever has snagged my attention. I must return to Mulgore!

Pretty sure I'm about to massively upset my schedule. Gotta make time for more book work and art somewhere, and I only see one thing that can give right now.

youtu.be/00C29ig-Fms?... I made a new curated music list with my animated art for Harmonizer: Stampede! This was a challenge to get complete, but I love the way it turned out, and I did something fun with the last song too! #HarmonizerTOG #Music #Art #FantasyBookSky

I miss the days when I could just grab a pack of cards during checkout. Having to go through online retailers really just kills the vibe and makes it feel way more... optimized? It's just not as fun. :(

I have finally managed to draw a character that looks somewhat masculine holy crap. I do not know why this has been such a challenge.

www.thesapphirenexus.com/blog/stampede New blog covering the release of my third book, Stampede! It's finally out, so I decided to also talk a bit about the next one, Mire of Madness. There's a LOT going on! #HarmonizerTOG #fantasybooksky #booksky #selfpublished #fantasy

STAMPEDE! — TheSapphireNexus

Wow, I did NOT realize how long it had been since the last blog post! I didn’t mean for it to go that long, so that’s a major ‘my bad!’ Anyway, we’re back now and we’ve got some news on pretty much al...

What my brain does right when I try to go to sleep for the night.

spent 9 hours animating this creature

Come tomorrow, I will officially be at 3 books published! And yes, the 4th one has been started!

Spinning up the next book, Mire of Madness, and can happily say I’m WAY ahead on the cover art this time! Already got it mostly sketched out, so maybe I’ll finally be able to snag an artist so I don’t have to do it myself this time?

I had my first legit day off from all responsibilities yesterday in like... probably over a year. It was nice to just do whatever I felt like.

Working on the sketch for the 4th book's cover. I think I may have just accidentally created my coolest villain.

Finalizing the designs of the two villains that will finally surface in the next book. One of them is considerably easier for me than the other!

Harmonizer book 3: Stampede is almost done! Cover is locked in, editing is in the very last stretch, and I have the entirety of next week off! Time to lock this in and start work on book 4, Mire of Madness!

Growing older apparently means having an entire arm suddenly become borderline unusable without any reason or explanation??? And yes, I'm having a wonderful week, thanks for asking! /s

Life just be that way all the time 🙃

www.thesapphirenexus.com/blog/the-lon... The sequel to my book #HarmonizerTOG has finally been released as of last week! I'm excited and relieved to have it out there, and you can read a little more about it here! #Fantasy #selfpublished #fantasybooksky

These last two weeks have been crazy between trying to get my next book cover done, starting up a potential video game project, usual book work, and the weird explosion we're having on Twitch and Youtube. Trying to keep up with all of this has been a whirlwind.

I always tell myself I can do just one more thing... Vent comic featuring Feera from #HarmonizerTOG ! And yes, those are all supposed to be alchemy bottles. ( #art #comic #Digitalart #FantasyBookSky )

The Lonely Fortress — TheSapphireNexus

Welcome back to what has steadily become a biweekly blog post! This week, I want to cover the Lonely Fortress one last time as the hour of its release finally draws near! We got quite a lot of updates...

The amount of viewership and interaction I'm getting on both Youtube and Twitch is crazy for Pokerogue. Kinda nice considering I am now extremely addicted to it and I haven't even touched the challenge runs or endless yet.

www.twitch.tv/siphonix72 Going live with more Pokerogue! Someday, I will beat this on stream and not just offline!
