I hope you have a good one! If Christmas is a difficult time for you, I hope you find a good, stress-free way to spend the day. Thank you everyone for your gifts, you are all amazing, and I am overjoyed with every single one.

The holiday has ended for me (thank you time zones) and I must head to bed, and then start preparing to leave the country again. But there will be more gifts to come 🎁👀

Just realised it's my last chance to stream art, before I'm back on my laptop which can't handle art programme + OBS for nearly...a year.

I'm streaming some Christmas gift art for Emy 👀 (and then possibly others if I finish soon)

It's too bad TH doesn't allow sound submissions, because I would make so much music if they did. The lyrics are from her POV, and the sound of it is meant to capture the feel of her home of Havaiki—nostalgic, summery, life moving at a relaxed pace.

Music, lyrics and vocals were all by me (yes, that's my voice)! And the cover's also by me. She's conducting an imaginary orchestra.

Hello guys! Due to Christmas prep and unforeseen circumstances (e.g. Having to fix my half dead laptop, flying off again at the end of the month), I will be closing my commissions on the 15th, a little sooner than I expected! As long as there's still empty slots before then, you can still claim a spot, though I might finish after the 15th.

These last few commissions will also be done at a slower rate than usual, maybe 1 image/day, so if you're commissioning 4 images, it will take about 4 days.

I expect to reopen in February next year.

Thank you for your understanding!

It's Christmas in less than a month's time and, you guessed it, I do intend to procure some gifts—to which end some wishlists would greatly help 🤔

Please post a list of ~5 of your OCs (or mine if you really like them, I don't mind) whom you most want to see more art of, with not too many specifics—depending on how much work I have this month, I may not have too much time to...obtain these gifts, so this gives me some flexibility. You can do that here, or in a PM if you want to keep things private.

Have a happy December!

And again, the sheet is here!

And the icon ones are here!

If there's anything you need to know about me, it's that I love lists, charts and statistics. So here I go indulging myself lol. All word clouds were made with WordClouds.com and graphs in Excel.

Feel free to share about your own profile length tendencies, if you like--like what kinds of characters of yours normally end up with long or short profiles. I'm also curious if you think there's a correlation between how long a character's profile is and how fleshed out they feel (be they my OCs or yours or others' in general)?

• The longest ones tend to be of two kinds: 1. Muses whom I'm constantly developing and extending the profiles of, and 2. story-peripheral OCs whom I can talk about in detail because there's no spoilers to censor.
• But Aleigh (i.e. longest profile among my OCs) is neither? His profile was already that long from the time I posted it. I've always thought of him as one of my most complicated characters, so it makes sense?
• The OCs with the shortest profiles are, almost consistently, the quiet, nurturing ones. Perhaps that says something about how I treat characters of those personality types 🤔 or maybe their lives can be expressed in fewer words.
• E&S has the longest profiles. Makes sense since it's a completed novel!
• Poor Noma, her life is full of spoilers.
• On average, my profiles are 709 words long. That's...longer than some of my school essays lol. The profiles featured here have combined 22,000 words, which is almost halfway to a novel. RIP

• O r o b e l l e
• Orobelle's profile is actually one of the shorter ones. So that means she gets mentioned a lot in other OCs' profiles.
• Vesper, on the other hand, is tiny on this cloud despite having one of the longest profiles. Love
• I may talk about parents a little too much. I mean, I can't deny, parent-child relationships are extremely prominent in just about everything I write.
• Parents and names, two extremely common themes among my OCs. Fair.

• A more even distribution, but maybe because there's only four profiles.
• Ruthenia's should be a lot bigger, in terms of character prominence. But Aleigh's profile is just too long.

• I love that the most frequent word isn't even a name, it's just, death. Figures.
• I can't believe Surma is mentioned more often than Kalma. wof wof

I just finished my first semester of study in Australia, and I'll be flying home to Singapore in a bit. Whee ✈️🇸🇬

There probably won't be any noticeable difference on your end, other than me vanishing for nine hours. But it does mean commissions I can get on with commissions soon.

Airplane flights are extremely productive for my writing, so if you have any writing prompts or prompt lists, I'd love to hear/see em!

Hopefully I'll be back with a near-complete next chapter for RD.

I'm really enjoying doing commissions, thank you to everyone who ordered them!

I got more than I was expecting, and as unbelievable as it sounds, I do have a limit, so...after pushing out about 70 drawings in the past 10 days, I think I actually do need a break. I'm also flying back home on 14th November, so it seems like an opportune time for one.

If you were thinking of commissioning me, speak now (i.e. in the next three days) or hold your peace...until the 18th or so, when I'll be back!

P.S. check out this half hour paint, I'm proud of it
