Project Update: A Festive Update: Art, Progress, and Holiday Cheer!
Salutations and Felicitations, Wanderers!
We have some delightful news to brighten your day! First off, we’re thrilled to share some art sketches for the book. The marvellously talented Dozerdraws is hard at work illustrating all the chapter title art, and we’re expecting the final pieces to be completed by early January. Keen-eyed backers might even spot their custom commission portrait in these sketches!

We must admit, the writing process is taking a bit longer than anticipated. As we lay out the book, the text often needs adjusting, and new ideas have a habit of sneaking in. Still, we’re pleased to say we’re on track to send the book to print in the first quarter of next year.
Finally, we’d like to wish you all a very happy holiday season! We’ll be taking a well-earned break from next week until the 2nd of January, after which we’ll dive back in with renewed vigour.
Cheerio for now, and may your holidays be utterly jolly! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
❤️ Fleur & Chelsea
