Woo! So I have some cool news that I'm ready to share with you guys. (I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to jinx myself!)

Yumi, the webmistress of the Ace Attorney fansite SOAK YOUR HEAT, (located HERE on dA, if you prefer) asked me to be a guest artist in her artbook! I sent her a message on dA a few months ago about something completely unrelated, and when she wrote back, she just suddenly asked if I would be willing to contribute to her new GS4 artbook a brand new picture or a short comic related to either Klavier, Apollo, or both. I wasn't wild about the idea of slaving away on a brand new piece only to have it printed in black and white, so with a lot of help from Yumi, I pumped out a five page comic. I had to skip a whole day of classes just to meet the already generously extended deadline, but it's worth it to get a chance to have my fanart published.

For the record, I only had two weeks to work on the project start to finish, and... it couldn't have come at a worse time. XD The due date fell on the worst day of the semester for me, and I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to participate, all because I couldn't finish the last page on time. XD

I looked up some of the people on the guest list, and I honestly don't know why she picked me to be among these fabulous artists. (Especially since I honestly hadn't even communicated with her prior to this!) I'm good, but I'm going to look terrible next to a few of the people on this list. I'm glad I didn't find out who else was a guest until after I finished. I would have probably bailed at the end from intimidation instead of toughing it out.

SO EXCITED! ;w;

Woo! I'm home for the week! :D

I took a break from dA from Tuesday through Saturday and it was actually pretty nice. I came back to a boatload of really sweet, encouraging comments, so that was cool. :3 I'm still nervous about the charms I'm going to be selling though... I was really confident when I sent out the order, but now I'm like, "Hmm... I probably won't even sell one..." or "I'm not going to sell enough to earn back what I put into the project..." I hope it's just nerves. I still haven't decided on a price, either. Most people are selling similar items between $4.99-$5.99 + $2 shipping, so I was thinking $5.50 each. We'll see. :/

In other news, I did a little shopping, and I'm gifting myself some real APH One Coins for Christmas this year. XD

Yay! I ordered Austria back in July for a steal--$9!--and I just found a reasonably priced Hungary a couple minutes ago.
