Commission for my good friend Alla!

These are 3 character designs for his original character, Alla. Thank you so much for commissioning me!!

This means a LOT to hear. Genuinely.

Honestly. Anybody who goes out of their way to send hateful things like that will just get blocked, if possible. It's not difficult to just be polite, or at least mostly respectful, about your criticism. And it's honestly not worth it to engage with criticisms like "but Belos is evil," or even "you didn't understand TOH / TOH's finale," that either just repeat the same talking points I've seen for YEARS now, or are just thinly-veiled insults.

The issue here is not people disliking, or even hating, Belos. People are 100% allowed to not like him, both as a villain and a character. And people are 100% allowed to not engage with art and writing that makes them upset. Just mute the tags / words, block the blogs even.

The actual issue here is when they start seriously criticizing and even attacking Belos fans, just for making fanart / fanfic that portrays him with any kind of nuance. At that point, their hatred has officially gone too far. REAL people don't deserve to be harassed just because they like a controversial character.

That statement I made will hopefully be the only statement I have to make about this. I just want to share this story, and enjoy it alongside everyone who's been following along, in peace . . .

And with that, Chapter 3 storyboards are officially finished!! YAY!!!!

This is the longest chapter, coming in at 24 pages long. After I finish boarding the remaining 29 pages, I'll move onto thumbnails. And after that, all that'll be left is final page illustration. Then I'll be, done done.

I give a massive thank you to everyone who's supported me and been kind to me up to this moment. It's . . . honestly been, difficult, to find the motivation for this lately. But you all have made this story worth telling. Thank you.

Look out for Chapter 4 Storyboards, once I get to those.

Until next time <3
