New Year Teaser + Ramble (Pixiv Fanbox)

The future fast approaches... the new year... 2023. Not much to really say. 2022 was a weird year in that it felt really long in some places, but at the same time really short in others. Not sure how that works, but the mind is a strange thing indeed.

I mostly just want to thank everyone for all the support you've given me this year. It's been an interesting change, but overall enjoyable. I do enjoy these blog posty things, and not being limited to 120 characters means I can interact with people a lot easier than on Pixiv. So that's been a nice change. I hope that next year I can deliver more content for everyone that supports me, but I won't make any hard promises. Life is life, and life likes to throw curveballs at the worst of times, so I try to avoid making any hard promises that I can't be sure I'll be able to keep. Still, I would like to give something back to people, and I've got some ideas but I don't know how things will pan out.

As for my New Year pack, you might be able to tell what it is. It'll be the first in a series of 3 of me doing the characters featured in the Halloween poll. I did say I would get around to all 13 characters that didn't win, and Ithis will just be the first. I'll sprinkle the other two across the year when I can. January and February might be kind of skimpy on releases, since I'll be working on my Anniversary project. And that will have a lot of content. Like a lot, a lot. Even if I scrap some stuff, it will undoubtedly be massive. As for the New Year Pack, I'll only tease these two characters. I'll leave it up to you to guess who will accompany them. But seriously... I now want to do more Miyoshino. I probably won't, but man... Nioh 2 mom is hot.

Also, the first poll of the year will be these three. Kind of an anticlimactic bunch, but that's what I rolled so that's what we get. I don't really have any sort of "special event" planned for New Year as far as polls go. There won't really be that many "event" polls over all. Halloween and Christmas will be the big ones. Past that, I might do something fo Valentine's, probably have something trolly for April Fool's, but not a whole lot other than that. I will probably do some more themed polls next year, though.

Lastly...

Rather than wait until next update on my anniversary project, I'll just upload the 'unobscured' versions of the characters I teased(save for the one that I'm intentionally leaving a mystery).

And the backgrounds in these aren't anything I made, btw. I just searched for some promotional images of the respective games the characters come from and pick something that seemed appropriate to be put through a faux stained glass filter.

Anyway, until the weekend where ther New Year's animations will be posted.
