Ophiucus Work
Appropriately, my room (almost) flooded this week and I hurt myself bailing water out with a bucket. That slowed me down a lot. Anyway the flooded area of Ophiucus is almost done! Maybe I’ll turn into a pooltoy aieeee I hate this.
Having lost a few days, I’m back to work. Next is the rear gardens of the mansion and the portrait hall, which includes a familiar face if you remember the manor’s layout from WHI.
Since I fell behind a bit, here’s some free art of the pooltoy TF. I was in a lot of pain!
Tales of Strings: The Elites
We’re launching a new Tales of Strings initiative, The Elites. This is a prequel series set before the Knights of Justice ever got their bracelets, starring the elite cleaners. The best of the best of the True Path’s thugs and killers, they’re going to find themselves up against something much worse.
The series is entirely free for everyone and is being released one-chapter-a-day on Scribblehub. I’m hoping this puts some more eyes on the series and maybe gets more readership for everything else.
The tone is a lot darker and more violent than even where the Knights of Justice goes, with TF being much more in the backseat. You’ll encounter gore, murder, serial killers, and body horror. You know, the usual.
I expect 9 to 10 stories in this miniseries before it’s complete. I will make free PDF releases when each story is done on Itch and Wechange as usual, but if you want to read it as it’s released, you can get it on Scribblehub. Right now, the first four chapters are out of the first story.
Fan Art By Coco
Artist Coco decided to go a bit nuts with art this week, also completing some work for Ophiucus in addition to these adorable pieces. Hey that’s Polaris!
