It does make me proud that my channel is actually recognized and my videos are the first ones brought up when I look for myself using Wattpad's search!

Anyway, y'all can't see the description so I'll tell you what you need to know: this is actually a collab part! Our wonderful almostpearlescent sketched all but the last two frames on paper, but she's been gone for about two weeks now (the first week I knew she was busy but I'm not sure what's happening now, if anyone who reads this happens to know please let me know what's up because I'm worried she wouldn't just disappear without reason) and so I did.... well... the rest! Originally Pearl was going to draw her OCs (the human whose name is Tabby, the fairy whose name is Pixie, and the cat with extra fluff whose name is Cody) and some of the backgrounds, but in the end the map host Henki offered to jump in and do the last background when I explained that I was finishing on my own. The rest was all (painstakingly) me!

And I waited until today to see if Pearl would get back before I actually drew her characters which.... in hindsight I hate because I could've at least done Cody and the background before bUT HEY IT'S DONE AND I'M NOT DRAWING HUMANS FOR A FRICKIN MONTH BECAUSE ANATOMY AND PROPORTIONS DON'T EXIST

AND THE REASON THE FIRST TWO FRAMES LOOK SO DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TWO WITH TABBY AND PIXIE IS BECAUSE PEARL WHO KNOWS HOW HUMANS WORK DREW SKETCHES THAT I DIGITALIZED OKAY LET ME BE ANGRY AT HUMANS

I definitely wouldn't have made the part as complex if I had been on my own, but because I thought I wouldn't be doing most of it I figured it'd be fine. In the end, although I really had to fight myself and a big time mental health drop at the end to get it done I think it was a good experience because I tried something so much harder and different than I probably would have otherwise! And I got a TON of practice and knowledge about my editor, so I'd say overall it was worth it! I think the map will turn out beautifully from the other parts I've seen, and I'll be sure to share it when it's out!

Back to humans, I WILL be drawing one at the end of the next month when my event ends, as a sort of conclusion, celebration, and final hurrah! Remember, on August 31 entries are due and will be compiled together in a big celebratory post AND YouTube video! Many of you have shared your interest, and I even already have two incredible entries! I can't wait to see what all of you can do!

I feel like I had other stuff I wanted to post? But I don't remember what? OH YEAH GANDALF

SO APPARENTLY SOME OF YOU BELIEVE I'M A MURDERER OR WOULD BE
I'D JUST LIKE TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT GANDALF HAS BEEN GIVEN AWAY AND IS OUT OF MY HANDS. HE IS ALIVE AND PROBABLY WELL WITH A NEW TANK. I HAVE PHOTO EVIDENCE FROM THE CAR RIDE.

I'll admit he looks a liiittle like he's eternally screaming but I prOmise you he's 100% fine! He's a picasimus (pih-cah-sih-mus) (come on keyboard recognize a fish name will you?), and he eats algae off of tank walls, really great if you want low maintenance! Although I was told to still give him a bit of fish food, which I did daily, and he's had strawberry tops before (which ARE safe since he (obviously) hasn't died or gotten sick)

Also that last photo is my new lock screen, giving him away was so sad y'all it was like passing on care of an immortal ancient creature with great powers-
