Girimehkala WIPs + An update!

Hi everyone! I've had a wild few months over here, even if not much of the wildness surfaced on my public platforms - I was recently able to announce that i'm currently working on a long term basis providing art for a project with Poppyworks, a game developer whom i've been in talks with over Stuff for a while now! Unfortunately everything i'm working on is strictly under NDA - I can't share what i'm doing, or even talk much about what it might be, at least, not yet! That won't be the state of affairs forever, and i'm excited to share more as soon as I can, but I do want everyone to know that i'm incredibly excited about the project in question and I think if you're a fan of my work and the work that's influenced me you'll also be extremely interested in the finished product when it's revealed!

This does mean that the bulk of my time (I have a work week instead of 24/7 freelancer hours!)  is now going to be going to this project, at least for the immediate future. Weirdly enough though this will actually free me up to work on whatever I want during downtime/weekends, so despite having "less" free time that structure and division between paid and personal work is actually going to be hugely beneficial to my ability to produce whatever fanart, personal material etc. I want. I'm going to be sharing all that with the Patreon, and i'm already thinking about what side projects i've always wanted to pursue but couldn't dedicate time to due to having to seek paid work constantly I can bring out and get stuck into.

Silene is still in progress but - I wanted to share Girimehkala from SMT, a design i've wanted to paint for a long time, and which i'm thinking might be the first in a series of SMT fan pieces ahead of the release of SMTV, with an eye to maybe collecting them in a downloadable zine/folio presentation! If you have any favourite designs, lemme know!

Thank you as always for  your support - I understand if the disruption that's possible (At least at first) leads people to withdraw for the moment, and i'm grateful for everyone who's stuck by me until a moment like this when a dream job of mine is now within reach. If you want to stick around still, I hope I can make it worthwhile!
