Cross Took a Left Turn at Albuquerque (Patreon)
Content
Soo, with the latest monthly art asset posted, I figured I should make some sort of statement on last month's still unposted art asset, that being the updated character artwork for Cross.
I'm really sorry for all the delays ^^; I fully intend on finishing and posting the asset, and when I do, those who were patrons during April but had to withdraw their pledge since then will be sent a link to the artwork! This isn't something I can or will brush under the rug, as aside from being something I owe you all, it's a much, much needed asset for the game that will firm up a lot of cool character and lore bits surrounding Cross and the Air elementals.
Buuuut, that latter point is also part of why it's taking so long to do. I'm a bloody perfectionist these days, and most polished artwork I do takes me at least a week to finish, especially if there are a lot of small, precise details since I can't help myself with those >.> And of course, since Cross is a few hundred years old and his entire design is a suit of armour, there's an almost-overwhelming amount of detail to be added.
But the main reason I haven't finished the asset yet is that last month was a financially stressful one and I had to devote most of my energy to staying afloat, which is never conducive to art work. Things are a lot more stable now, and with the weather improving as well I'm able to spend more time on Axu2-related things, art included.
So, while I hesitate to make any promises, I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the Cross artwork will be finished sometime this month (such a bold prediction, I know.) Thank you all for your patience and support, as always, and I'll be back soon with more positive news!~
