EDELETH IS BACK ON THE MENU - https://redtiebear.bigcartel.com/

Got 10 more unreleased pages of these homos up on Patreon for free before hitting social media - so if you want to know what the heck is going on here before I slap them up, feel free to check it out, otherwise, if you feel like practicing delayed gratification, just hold tight!

You done goof'd kids and now mom is gonna have to turn this classroom around

Sitting on another fat stack of pages that I'll be previewing early this week on my Patreon, but I can never resist the late night drop 🫣

Thank you to every artist persevering through today. Never stop sharing who you are!

OOPS Instead of letting the pages remain buried under posts of whatever the heck, I'm dumping all the pages released on social media onto my Patreon - and anything shared on social media is a free post, so if you are following along for the book and want to revisit everything put up (which is a LOT of pages), you should begin to see them placed up, neat and orderly-like on there. Sorry Edelgard 😔

PLZ

So mysterious how that happens 😳

(sorry for being away lately, drawing arm injury and food poisoning will do that to you)

And a book progress update! Details in the linked post, but the short of it is that I estimate I'll be heading to final art checks at the end of May and then working with the printer (Mixam) in June, so if things look good on their end, earliest shipping estimates may be the tail end of June, or July if they need cropping edits or whatnot, either way, it's gonna be HOT EDELETH SUMMER AT LAST FOR SHIPPING 😭

Help is not coming, Edelgard

A highly self-indulgent flashback panel with Jeralt and Byleth 🫠 I may have gotten a headache halfway through, but considering the entire back half is a self-indulgent Byleth-centered edeleth, I can go balls to the wall for inking, as a treat

Things are currently going smoothly, and I estimate that the book will enter post-art checks and head to the printer in a few weeks. Before the book goes into finalization with the printer, there will be a final call for anyone who needs to update their address (for physicals) or if anyone would like to put in an order for a physical before it's locked in (digitals will remain available in perpetuity elsewhere). So, it's looking after art is ready and Mixam receives my order with the checks and ships them to me, shipping is estimated to begin in June, likely starting with the orders that do not have sketches attached to their endpapers (those will be shipped in batches as I complete their drawings), and going throughout the summer. If you made a digital order, I'll be sending those at the start of shipping as well! If there are any major updates to this timeline, I'll be placing them here and on bluesky, and in the meantime, let me know if there's any other questions. Thanks to everyone for their patience while I catch up 😭 I'm currently working on some large batch art drops for the book to keep you all excited, so keep an eye out!

So what if my primary goal in life rn is to kill Edelgard with soft images of her professor looking intently at her, we all need a dream

You, too, can be loved just the way you are now.

In other news, I learned that adobe dropped the plan I used to get and only have one that is *checks notes* TWICE AS MUCH, so if you'd like to commission me, I do have two more single character slots available!
