#25

Hallo all, we're back again for another monthly roundup, and a couple of announcements. First things first - congratulations to all those that participated in Summer Camp! Based on the messages on the community board, it looked like it was a productive month for many of you.   Next - Valiant: Season 2 has concluded. Clocking in at 1.1 million words and 84 episodes, this has been one of the largest projects the red panda has ever embarked on, and he's glad to see it completed - but the story's far from over. Season 3 will commence after Gap Stories: Volume 2 has been written and published, but that will take time, so it's likely that there will be no regular episode drops for a few months. During that gap, he will be working on various other things to fill the void - updating covers for the manuscripts, organizing the Inkiverse homepage, and other QoL adjustments that will help make the Inkiverse content a bit more organized and presentable. We look forward to sharing those with you as those little side projects are completed!   And of course, the monthly update wouldn't be complete without a roundup of the episodes he dropped in the last month. We've included those below - we hope you enjoy them!   Tails #40: Foxtails
Winding down from the completion of their quest, the Drifters turn their attention to the future, and consider the problems of the present.   CURSEd #37: Silver Linings
As the clouds of war gather on the horizon, the Peacekeepers search for the silver linings in their shadow.   Dreaming Draught #24: The Gift of Tongues (Avvi's Version)
A draught with a more literal interpretation of an archaic phrase.   Dreaming Draught #25: Magnetizer
A common party draught that really shouldn't be served to large groups of people, but usually is anyway.   Valiant #48: Shattered
Having entered the Fountain of Souls, Songbird embarks on a task the Masklings have long considered impossible: tracking down the shards of a broken Mask, and returning alive from the land of the dead.     And if you'd like to start from the beginning, the link to Valiant: Season 2 is below!     Stay frosty,

Ah....yeah. I managed to finish drawings of the three characters before going to bed now... I've had these characters in my head since the beginning of the year. XD
  So...the NaNo story I'm writing this year is the first in a trilogy. Vexander, the pink-haired guy, is the main character in this first novel. The working title for this novel is "Breckskeep: Thief" ...He will be stumbling over a body in a locked room. The second person is named Kell....and they are the main character in the second book. Which has the working title "Breckskeep: Assassin" ( check out this article: The Crimson Claw ) ...they are at the school working undercover to terminate somebody...and...stumble over a dead body... The third person is named Turtle....and they are the main character in the third book...with the working title "Breckskeep: Demon" ....Turtle gets some threatening letters and then somebody ends up dead. XD;
  XDD ...the magical school is wild.
  (Vex is CIS, Kell is genderfluid and Turtle is non-binary....and they all will end up in a triad poly relationship)
  Turtle's article will be posted at the end of the month (possibly this weekend). Vex and Kell will get their articles during WorldEmber.
 

This week just whooshed by. XD
  I've pondered and planned stuff for the next 4 months... The Kickstarter for the last installment in my CYOA Zine trilogy has been pondered. I'm hoping to have time this weekend to plan it out with post-it notes again. XD;; (not pleased with previous results. XD;; )
  I've pondered the Kickstarter after that which will be 3 coloring books. "The Elves of Idyll", "Breckskeep: Stained Glass", and "Skywell: ????" ...yeah, I haven't come up with a concept for that last book yet. XD;; ....but the Kickstarter will be for all three of them and that will most likely happen in 2023...but I will be working on it during 2022 together with my Blender studies and the webcomic...and I also wanna try to do IRL stained glass. I looked at a lot of stained glass videos during 2020. XD;;;
  ...yeah. The webcomic...well...the novel I'm going to be writing during this year's NaNo is the first in a trilogy that will be drawn as a webcomic...and possibly be released as novels in the future. What I write during NaNo will be reworked to a webcomic script. Though I don't know how much I will be working on this webcomic. ...I have never managed to finish one of them and I always get anxious/depressed about my drawing skills when I try to do anything other than just drawing for fun for myself...it's gotten worse the older I've gotten XD;;
