Black Sand + ASAM Art WIPs & TBSAL??
Some art sneak peeks, ASAM (Tomb) updates, & a TBSAL update?? ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
First off! I posted a sneak peek of some art from Black Sand & ASAM (Tomb), which were these:
Black Sand:
ASAM:
But I want to show a little more of these. I’ve worked on the Black Sand one some more since I posted the initial peek, so here it is further along (almost finished?):
And here is a bit more zoomed out look at the two main characters from ASAM:
L & C (left and right). C is missing his face scars, so I’ll be adding those later. This is just the second sketch phase, so it’s barely started. It needs a lot more refining. Those details will come later. For now! I hope you like them. They’re very sweet. ಥ_ಥ I also found their song, which is here (it has English lyrics as well):

I love them.
Speaking of ASAM, I’ve edited up to chapter 33/50, so I’m slowly getting there! I’m going to try to finish it up this weekend and get it to my friend so they can look it over. Soon, hopefully.
As for TBSAL, it’s still in copyright, but I’m hoping it will be done soon since it’s been a while. I also just commissioned an artist I’ve been dying to work with for a while for some art of Seok & Ezra as a christmas present to myself, so I’m super excited about that! I’d been saving for a while and keeping an eye on their commissions, and they were kind enough to squeeze me in. ;-; 💖💖💖 I think Seok & Ezra will look great in their style. 🫶💖💖💖
I think that’s it for this week. I’ve mostly been editing this time, so not many visuals, outside of the above. ^ I hope you like the peek of L & C (and their size difference. 😂) They’ve been fun to write. Oh! Their story also seems to be shorter than TBSAL’s, since they’re essentially an established couple prior to it starting and the plot is very Point A to Point B, then to Point C. I was a little worried it was too short, like maybe I had left things out, but it seems to be flowing fine during editing, which is great. 👍Since it can be read as a companion piece to TBSAL, this is probably a good thing, since between the two of them they probably total somewhere in the 200k+ word territory, and as a standalone, it’s manageable on its own without being too overwhelming to some (I still love you noodles. 🫶🐉💖🐉💖)
Anyway, that’s it for this week! I hope you have a restful weekend!
P.S.
I think winter is here. I desperately want to hibernate. (。_。)

I saw a fellow author (K. V. 🫶💖) using Kit as their newsletter subscription service and realized it has a free option. Would that be better than doing it here? I’m kind of wary of staying on any platform like this, given the whole reason I moved here. I wonder if that would be more reliable in the long run? And I could move the sign up onto my website and have traffic go there? Which is my information hub anyway. I’m not sure. There’s the whole reach thing to consider too, which is always up in the air. I’m still thinking about it. 🤔
