2022-01-21 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI've noticed people commissioning art in the style of tarot cards and thought that it might be a fun thing to have done for the characters in Years... The only problem is that I can't decide who I want to see, first! So I thought I would make a poll and let you decide! (:

2022-01-07 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI thought it would be nice to do a big, end of year summary of everything that's happened this year! It's certainly been a full, rewarding year for me, These Reluctant Years, and all of you, I hope!
Writing-wise, I would estimate that Years is approximately 75% co...

2021-12-10 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostBig update, this time! After many months, the cover artist has finished the cover for These Reluctant Years! (:
It looks amazing, and I'm super happy with the way everything turned out! I'll add it to the schedule so that it will be accessible after all of the WIP cover art.

The first one I'e shared is a sketch of Prudence as she will appear on the cover of Years!

First up is everyone's favorite Frontierswoman: Corporal Prudence! In this draft of the cover art, she is still sketchy, but she gets more definition in the next work-in-progress illustration.

A couple updates, this time! First, the whole portrait of Vance and Merriweather was made accessible! I've also scheduled all of the cover art content to be uploaded in the following weeks, so stay tuned for them!

Some big announcements, this time! The commission of Vance and Merriweather is done, and (well, some of it -- you'll see... (; ) scheduled to go public today! I think it's a great portrait of everyone's favorite Frontiersmen couple.

I haven't heard anything back from them over e-mail, so I sent them a Tumblr message. The little green indicator light is telling me that they're relatively active (within the last hour), so we'll see if that ...
