Happy V-day folks!  Or, for those who don't do crap on this day (such as myself), happy just-another-day where everything so happens to be in a lot of red, pink, and white!   

First order of business, as promised, a preview of the v-day themed melwyrm I've got in the works! :)
This is of course still a WIP -- just previewing the flats for now.  I'm going with something a bit rakish and romantic this time.     

I am aiming to post this on 2/16, around 3:30 PM pacific.  Originally I had hoped for the 15th, buuuuttt since I'm not done yet, I wanna make sure to give myself ample time to finish it up.  
So keep an eye out for that, if interested!  This will be a standard auction with AB (tbd), but I'm thinking about offering two different tiers.  One as-is and one with a wyrm form + extra, perhaps.   

~~~~~~~~~~~

As for other news, it's been quite a long time since I've offered any kind of MYO opening, so I'm doing a very smol quick sale + raffle as a way to spice up this holiday. :D
I will be posting this as a new bulletin, in about one hour (7pm pacific) -- so please make sure to read this next part thoroughly if you wish to try for the quick sale!

The quick sale will be for one MYO melwyrm slot ($100), and will go to the first person who can reply to my designated 'Reply Here to claim the Quick Sale Melwyrm Slot!' post -- anything NOT posted in reply to this comment will be disqualified from it.
I am also expecting this quick sale to be paid right away, so please do not try for it if you do not have funds or time to send it over readily available! (I wanna get myself a nice pity v-day dinner, pls don't leave me hanging and sadly eating plain pasta cuz I haven't gotten around to groceries yet LOL!)

The raffle sale will be for an additional three slots, which can be used for either melwyrms, blakryes, or sphaerras.  It will be open for 24 hours so everyone can get a chance at it, and will follow the same rules as my previous raffle.  No rush with this one!   

~

If there are any questions or whatnot, pls feel free to ask! :D

Edit:  Wow, so quick!  Thank y'all for the interest!  The v-day one won't be posted on valentine's, but likely the day before or after.  I'll throw up a preview at least a day in advance, so be on the look out!  Thanks again!   

~~~~

Yes, I know it's the middle of the night, but I wanted to get this up sooner rather than later jflkd;as
Plus, I figure, not often I post around this time so might allow for different folks to get first go at this!

This melwyrm wasn't really planned, was just meant to be something quick to go up today.  However, I have two more slowly in the works -- one by V-day that will probably be done in a similar style as this, and then another that's a bit fancier and painted up.  Unsure when the second will be done, but I'll aim to post previews of both of these a day or two in advance since they're already planned and in progress.  Keep an eye out!   
I may or may not do some smaller batches with blakryes & sphearras and such in between, we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, without further ado --

Edit:  Thank you so much for the interest and quick sale!  Next I might do some on-base blakryes/sphaerras since it's been a bit of a while since I did any large, cheaper batches.  I have a couple of bigger, fancier melwyrms in the works but I'm still working on them around other owed artwork so I'm not entirely sure when they'll be going up.  I'll likely post previews for those ones when they're near completion, though.

Thanks again for all the support!

Need a lil extra $$ and had the urge to design out a character from the back for a change, so this lil child popped out from it!
It includes a front version, as well, but that's more of a sketchily edited 'this is what I might imagine the front looks like' sorta deal.  Only the back view is the 'canon' design, so the winner is totally welcome to come up with something entirely different for the front if they prefer! :)

I promised I'd do more of these this year and post a proper preview for them before they go up, so here I am!  It's definitely out of season now but whatever!  Bats in December, why not!! 

I am aiming to have these up by 3pm Pacific tomorrow (12/2).  They will be for auction with SB at $100 and AB at $350.  (There is no pre-claiming available this time, sorry!)
So if you're interested, please keep an eye out!   

Also, keep in mind these are still WIPs, so they might yet get some adjustments between now and the final versions. We'll see how it goes. /w\

Edit: Wow, so fast!  Thank you all so much!   

~~~~

Okay I know I was supposed to do some more batryes next, however art continues to be going as slow as gd molasses for me sooooooo I'm not done with them yet.  So instead, I did up another chibi melwyrm batch for the in between.
It's not much of a preview, but here's a rough WIP for the general palette/direction of what I have for them so far: https://i.gyazo.com/654a3315d09b7ea81ad0a0c4f10d87d9.png   
Not too sure when I'll get them done since I still have some other stuff I need to wrap up first, but I'll be sure to do a proper preview post when they're more complete, so keep an eye out if those are your jam! :)

Also, apologies this is getting posted at such a weird time, I just really wanted to get them up before Thanksgiving (happy turkey day btw!).  Cuttin' it to the wire, as always, tho.   

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Same as last time, this is a flat sale batch for $300 each.  These adopts come as-is.
Also pls note: these are only one per person for the first 24 hours, after which you can pick up multiple if any are remaining.

It's that spoopy time of year again!     

Honestly, I had hoped I could do some bigger, nicer batryes before the month was through but it didn't really hit me that it was October until like a week ago (whoops lol) and I knew I just wouldn't have the time for that around the other work I need to finish.  So, here, I did up a couple of cute lil minis instead!  Just to have something out in time for the season, y'know??
I'd still like to do some fancier batryes next, but it definitely won't be for a couple of weeks.  So if you miss out on these, or are interested in something bigger, definitely keep an eye out!  I'll be sure to post up a preview a couple days in advance before those ones go up.

Smol update real quick first:  This past month has been pretty hectic for me!  A long time housemate moved out and the whole process of him getting out + deep cleaning everything + getting new housemates in took waayyy more time and energy than I anticipated. x__x
Pretty much everything else in my life got put on hold while all that was getting sorted, but now that things are settling down again, those currently waiting on stuff should start hearing & seeing things from me again soon throughout this month!

Anyway, on to the adopts!
