New release estimate for the next Down the Rabbit Hole is early next week.

Arcaxon is now finished with the graphic design, and it was absolutely worth the extra waiting time for him to finish. I've shown his work to a few people and the consensus is that his work looks excellent and acts precisely as the clarifying factor that this topic needs.

Vex, the person responsible for the illustrations that have appeared in the last two videos, is also just about done with their art, which is the most intricate they've done for Down the Rabbit Hole so far. Their work should be done tomorrow.

I'm currently in the process of editing, and all of the sound balancing has been completed, though I may tweak it here and there. This time, the music is playing a much larger part in the storytelling, and so I'm making it a bit louder than I have in the past to allow it to perform its narrative function. This, however, means that I have to be extremely delicate; I had to adjust the EQ of my voice just a bit to make certain that my consonants pop out against the driving and tense violin that Ryan has incorporated. I personally feel that this is Ryan's strongest work to date for Down the Rabbit Hole, and the song that he's written for the credits is beautiful.

Outside of balancing the music, I just need to add the relevant images and graphics. Given that Arc's work comprises approximately half of the runtime, though, this won't take long at all. Ryan has also helped with the visuals, recording his own B-roll and laboriously scanning reference images for use after finding a family heirloom that is relevant to the topic.

I'll see you all very soon.
