I wanted to give an update. The doctors have run a bunch of tests, and they still don’t know why I’m sick with fever. They’re doing their best though, and started a new series of tests. I am excited that I’ve been able to start eating again. I’m going to try to put some weight back on. I’ve lost 6 pounds since this started 22 days ago.
I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support. Reading your comments brought tears to my eyes. (Not joking.)
I’ll post another update in one week on Tuesday, October 16th.
Here is the illustration that was made last week during our first live stream. I’m really happy with how it turned out! The sketching and painting part is complete, but it still needs to be inked. I’ll be inking it tonight at 6pm MST during a second live stream. This live stream will also be a Patreon only event.

Oh, and Artemis says she hopes to see you there too!
"Meow meow-meow."
I mean Artemis hopes you like her hair? Wait, what?
"Meeow-ow mow mow."
Ok, I just realized I can't speak cat. See you there!
I have great news! I now have all the wires and do-dads properly set up to host an illustrating live stream! And for the first stream, I’m holding a special Patreon invite only event next week! On Patreon, there is a survey to pick the exact date and time of the stream. That pole closes Sunday night, 3/11/18, so cast your votes now!

In other news, I’ve been working with my editor on the comic’s plot. Since I first started this comic, almost two years ago, the story has developed and grown considerably. Seriously, the current version looks nothing like the original, and I promise that’s a good thing XD.
As of now, I have chapter four and five ironed out. It also became necessary to create World Maps and a World History for the comic, and that has been completed as well. I am so excited with the new direction that the story is taking, I can’t wait to share it with all of you! As always, thank you for the love and support!
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I recently invested in a camcorder and video editing software so I can do lifestreams and film speed painting videos in the future. I wanted to practice using these new tools, so I made short video. In the video’s credits, I give a shout out to Patreons because their support made these purchases possible. Hope you enjoy the video!
Guess what! I got a camcorder! It's a Canon VIXIA HF R800. I had to save up for a while to get this baby. She will make it possible to film speed painting videos and do live streams in the future. So excited to get started!
As implied last update, I’m revealing both my Halloween costume and Hogwarts House. As a proud Ravenclaw, I’d like to thank everyone who shared which House they belong to. I’m happy there is such a diverse mix that follows this comic!
