I'm utterly late getting this post out, and I apologize for
that.
I mentioned last time that I'd be doing Camp NaNoWriMo
again, so I have, in a way; this time, I'm using the first half of the month
for some art projects related to my writing. I can't debut that particular art
just yet, but I did have to stop and make a character sheet for Pierce,
call-sign "Kentucky", one of my main characters in Tragedy of Ice.

Just like being an author, my skills as an artist have
significantly improved over the last year. Comparing my lines and colours to
the character sheets I did last year, I've come a long way. It may not seem
that noticeable to others, but as the artist, I can always tell when my style
has evolved.

I can see it with my old writing, too. Looking at the short
stories I've already published, I can see just how much my style has changed
and evolved since I began publishing in 2014. Even for things as recent as last
year, holding "Evening Hallow" up next to "Comeuppance",
let alone to Tragedy of Ice, I can see the nuanced differences in sentence
structure, beats, etc. Even the way I describe characters' appearances and
mannerisms.
The evolution of an author/artist is one to behold, for
sure. And maybe that's what's happening with Comedy of Rain: I'm evolving styles again.
