Where Do You Want to Read Kherishdar4?
On one hand... Patreon! It comes to you in email! But the comment system is the *worst comment system ever*!
On the other hand... Wordpress! It does not come to you in email, or at least, I'm not sure, I should check to see if there's a plugin! But the comment system is at least sane!
Which do you want?

This one will be kind of short! Because June was discombobulated, with family in the hospital and then other family showing up for a week-long vacation. (Yes, things are fine. Thank you for worrying!) Let's get to it.

We continue our week of free coffee-cup content! Today, a digression about worldbuilding that occurred to me while working on more of my "author doodle" books. I've done several of these so far--all of them sold out!--but I wanted to do something special for the first edition Admonishments I had left. Since this setting...

I've decided this week to unlock the content I'd usually reserve for the coffee cup tier ($5 a month), so you can see what goes on behind the curtain! And, you know, decide if you'd like to join. *grin* Today, then, a discussion of the Audio Conundrum. ErraticTransparency wanted to know if the Jokka audiobooks would be available...

I wanted to do something relaxing the other day (and also push through my lingering art block), so I found the wireframe for this one and decided to develop it. Jahir, Vasiht'h, Sediryl, Lisinthir, the Queen, and the Emperor, at the end of the series. SO MANY HANDS. So much clothes. So many happy expressions. <3

I'd like to tidy up the graphics and add a video, but this one's just about ready to go. My plan is mid-July! And even if you're not into the Princes' Game series, you might want to toss a buck in to get the short story, which bridges the gap between "Family" and the duo's appearance in PG2. :)
Wheel! Of! Emotions!
I found this and thought it was interesting (though pride is missing? Interesting?). Anyway, it is the wheel of emotions as visualized by Robert Plutchik, whom you can read about here. If you don't love this wheel, you can fall down a rabbit ho...

Art: Horse Practice
Since there's no summer camp this week, some other random doodles! This is horse practice. (No pencil, no erasing... just grab fat markers, look at photos, and go.)
Not too bad, I guess. I always get the placement of the eyes wrong, s...

I’ve completed my first week as a full-time artist/writer! And I thought you all might want to know about it, since you are part of what made that happen. So far it is about what I expected. I wasn’t really concerned about not getting enough work done, and that wasn’t a problem; even not pushing, I got more done in the wee...

Some various things have come up, and I've been involved with them for a while and will probably will continue to be for another week, maybe longer, so... things might go up a little more slowly than usual.
Thanks for your patience! Have an old but relevant drawing.
May 2018 Progress Report: So Not the Drama
Oh, May. What a month you were. So much Day Hobby drama, culminating in me quitting early! Drama used up way too much of my mental cycles. *sad headshake* Well, at least that situation won’t obtain for much longer! So let’s talk about what I managed last month, despite craziness.

Our extra All Fan Chat Day "celebrate end of Day Hobby" party was fantastic! Thank you to those of you who attended! There was much arting, and chatting, and revelation of yet MORE ridiculous stuff as I exited. I even did this broken/stumbly jaguar run cycle which is not too bad for my first run cycle ever. And the 'stumbling' t...

This is the week after the end of school and before the beginning of summer camp. It's also the last week at Day Hobby; I work Tuesday and Wednesday is my last day. Check out the terribly appropriate fortune cookie message I got with my coworkers last week. *grin*

Every once in a while I like to check in and see if y'all are happy with the Patreon. Right now everyone gets lunch bags, cat pictures, and news, and Coffee Cup folks are getting art, audio, sneak peeks, excerpts, worldbuilding stuff, etc. Is this working for y'all? Any suggestions? I'm all ears. :D
