Lupined you again

I needed to take a little extra time away form the drawing board this week, so we're taking a brief intermission from our current story today for some bonus Hazel cosplay content! This piece was originally based on a Patreon backer suggestion, and features Hazel dressed up as the titular superthief from the Lupin the Third manga/anime series. A very logical mashup, and a fun little piece to draw! It might be fun to cast Hazel in the role of some other famous thieves sometime.

Thanks again everyone for understanding about my needing to be a little more flexible with updating right now. No one has complained and everyone has been extremely kind, which reaffirms my longtime belief that I have the best readers out there. We return to our Neutral Chaos fan film production on Friday. See you then, team!

Worldbuilding

What Alicia says here is actually also true of Sam and Fuzzy, by the way! Continuity errors are just part of the rich lore.

I know I haven't been writing much down here in this space lately... as you can expect, it's just because we've been so busy. Everyone keeps saying this treatment process is a marathon, not a sprint, but sometimes it feels like both at the same time. But Jesi is tough and getting through it, one day at a time.

Jesi is enjoying this Alicia-centric storyline, though, because it gives them another opportunity to poke fun at me for "stealing" Alicia's haircut from them. In my defense, Alicia's hair is only similar to one of the dozens of haircuts and hair colours that Jesi has had in the time I've known them. But it is, I admit, mildly suspicious. (And it's certainly a stronger argument than when Jesi says I named Jess Star after them, since that one would require time travel to work.)

That's all for today, friends. See you on Wednesday!

Slam Dunk

No elves in the world of Neutral Chaos Archipelago? That's definitely going to need a rewrite.

See you next week, friends.
