So, it has been a little while, and I can only apologise for that (seems to be the story of my life these days whenever I post in here). 

Life just kind of threw me through a loop and unemployment has honestly been the shittest time for me where I just lost all motivation for anything. But I managed to find the time and summon some motivation to finally get back onto my computer and work on a few things that I have had in the back of my mind for some time now as well as finally utilise my brand new graphics tablet I got last Christmas (which I had full intention of using more than I have in recent months). So here's one of the projects I feel confident enough to post:

You have no idea how long that Lili manip on Victoria took me. I am at the point now where I don't even think you can tell that is Lili anymore since I had to pull so much of Victoria into the piece to make it look even remotely realistic enough ('cause no matter what I did, all the Lili images looked off and I really wanted to use this pose). But oh well, I wanted to use it somehow so here we are. And ngl I feel like this may be my best work yet!

This is a little soft launch for a book that I very subtly teased in my Tom Holland fanfic (which will be coming back someday, I just need to find the time to properly dedicate all my energy into finishing off the manips etc.) for those eagled eyed people who managed to catch that book - which with my luck will probably be zero hahaha since it was over a year ago that I unpublished to crack down on editing and writing. But for those who may be wondering what I am waffling about: this is tied to my interconnecting OBLIVION MULTIVERSE that I have going on here with Lili as my starring woman working her ass off slaying. This was never something I had planned when I first started planning DYNASTY and OBLIVION, but as I started creating manips for my social media fanfic, I soon started forming ideas for this book and ever since then it has not left my mind and manifested into this. 

Besides the manip, this was one of the quickest covers I have ever made since everything just fell into place like an absolute dream. I was tempted to kind of follow the same style I see in Stranger Things covers but I knew I wanted to add my own flair which I hope I delivered! Although I do want to change some things (i.e finish Joe's damn hair haha), I am still happy with the cover!

These are by no means finished, but I kind of wanted to show you guys some more of the work I have been doing for this book with some season one and season two manips. They are honestly so friggen adorable together and their story is one that truly breaks and mends my heart all at the same time. I really hope I will some day post it on here for you guys to enjoy and hopefully feel the same amount of love I hold for these two.

And a final little update on the video editing side. I have been working on this since before the latest season came out and I was meant to finish it once Volume 2 hit Netflix, but upscaling 1080p to 4K took so long that I kind of just lost my inspo for a really long time. But with the new season having started production, I wanted to finally start pushing through this edit so hopefully this will be posting soon on my Youtube channel.
