Here's the rough for scene 02 of episode one. You can tell where I jumped around with ideas for coloring backgrounds. There was also a glitch with the recorded subtitles, so I had to toss the audio.
The good news is that I have a voice actor lined up for Mizu, one of our protagonists. I'll still be looking out for a handful of people to help voice minor characters like Marshal, here, as well as the characters in the previous scene. Should be fun!

In Patreon news, I'm seeing a lot of creators losing patrons around the start of the year, and I'm no exception. I won't be dissuaded from working on my projects, naturally, but it does make one wonder how an artist can build a business around it... without drawing furry porn every day of the year for change, that is.

I'm considering it! If anyone's interested in that or a similar idea, let me know.
