As I said in my Dien crochet post, I was going to work on Chatzu’kuan next. I think she turned out alright. The dress is a bit baggy, but I was really winging it. I wrote down some of my steps, but it gets really rough in parts and I don’t think they can be used 100% to recreate her haha. I used what I learned in making Dien and some CSI dolls by RusCreatureCreations to achieve Chatzu’kuan’s crochet form....

I have gotten into crochet recently, making little creatures and characters. With this power, I have made DIEN! I chose Dien since she’s a Dracite and there are lots of different dragon patterns out there. Dien was based on this dragon pattern but I partially did my own thing due to error and just needing a different look. Thus Dien in crochet form was formed! Pretty pleased with how she turned out. I’m planning on doing Chatzu’kuan as my next...

Finally, the next entry in the series is released! Book 11 is under the banner of ‘Tales of the Trinity and the One’, Volume 1 of it, but is still a sequel to Amethyst Shards. It’s under a different banner because these next volumes are more collections of various short stories that are somewhat connected rather than being a coherent, epic narrative. It’s also much shorter than the other books, but longer than The Lost. Patreon supporters can download Volume...

Dien’s character development, er, well, being is sort of covered by The Corruption of Dark’s afterword already. So I’m not going to rehash that. Instead, I’m going to be all over the place with some thoughts on where Dien is going—not where she has been or was. Well, actually, yes, as those two things are inextricably linked, really.

Nine years gone. I’m at the precipice of a decade since How to Stop Wildfire. I feel like I’ve done enough yet haven’t done enough for it. The ten year mark coming up feels like a big milestone that deserves more to show for, but I don’t think there’s any amount of things where I’d think I’d done enough for it. So I’m just going to keep carrying on and doing what feels right. That’s all I can really do...

In January, I made a bunch of assets for my new solar system maps, also for my The Lost map (which I have just finished today as of this posting). I also drew two other pieces of my world, only one of which I am posting today (as the other is a spoiler for a future work): Shafien Architecture Concept
