First pic I just doodled yesterday before sleep. Second is.. Drumroll..... From March this year o////o This was just before I started writing "seriously", comic script, fics, random bits of character exploration. I already knew I wanted to tell a story about them, but things don't happen overnight. I instantly wasn't happy with this pic so I kept it for myself. Now that I have fully figured them out, it's okay to post it for the record :>

It's easy to track my progress on their ship and Fragments since Vivi as a character was born in the very beginning of 2022. So, the second pic I drew when he wasn't even 3 full months old. I knew his relationship with the Exarch was special, but I had no idea of the flavor, and what their physical interactions looked like. I just needed time. Looking back at the first pic, you can see a lot of subtle development.

I hoarded a few more pics to use later as comic covers. Now that I know how long it'll be until these are relevant, it's safe to just release them into the wild and draw newer, better covers later.

Second and third pic were drawn just two weeks apart, but I already knew more about their dynamic and it shows. I still like the peculiar upside down kiss.

And the last pic is the oldest one in my hoard, dated early February. Vivi was barely 1 month old as a character back then, but I liked the mood in this pic. I still like how Raha looks here.

What a sporadic history lesson :'D

Also here's some progress on the episode 13.
