The most handsome catboy 🥰

Requiem cafe was so cute! The korporkkur tiramisu and the fat cat latte were good! ❤️

Now while the paint dries I can get back to finishing stickers 😵‍💫 so much to do still aaa

I figured it'd be an experience others could relate to LOL Chemists really saved us from the brink of disaster. I went through so many potions when I finally leveled it!!

Proof!

Now I just need to work up the courage to actually do Forked Tower...

Reading the title now makes me happy remembering that experience. I still regularly listen to the zone music in the background when I draw. So, for me the real Journey was the players I resurrected along the way lol.

I wasn't playing the game when Eureka or Bozja were new, so Occult Crescent was the first time I could experience the first week when everyone else was just as new. It was some of the most fun I've had in the game. I really felt the community aspect with how people were helping each other out.

For the drawing I thought it'd be fun to have the chaos be from the viewer's perspective as if they were the ones being revived and healed to get back in the fight.

It was pure chaos. I had to be scraped off the floor just as often as others. I think my record was 21 raises in a single CE? Some CEs, like the one I decided to draw, made me cackle when they appeared because I knew I was about to get at least a dozen more to my 500 goal.

The prompt stumped me for awhile. I decided the experiences that stick with me most are the ones involving other players rather than the story. I wanted the Dead Man's Tale title, and knowing the most deaths would be at the start of Occult Crescent's release, I made raising KO'd players my mission.

Timelapse!

Thanks Cam ❤️ It turned out pretty cute, I like it. The G'raha one was the boquet meme awhile ago that I still find silly. I put one of them on my printer 😆 I figure there'll be plenty of pretty G'raha stickers so why not an unserious one lol

So many stickers!!
