I've been dodging any and all Switch 2 games for spoilers but I hope folks can control themselves about Metroid Prime 4 spoilers especially, do not harass me with it, do not tell me about it even if it sucks I don't want to know.

Been scribbling a lot, got that nagging feeling I should be doing more until I got a nASTY ache in my wrists, both of them, somehow. So I think a rest day is in order, I got some spiritual stuff to tend to as well and it's not like I haven't posted in a while.

Definitely gotta do more character art soon, prepare to make references for Zach and Kaii, possibly the indigos too to break up the sheer amount of purple. Yes, Gamzee will get a proper ref card too! Gotta highlight the differences!

Anyway quick refs for Aerroh and Equius, might as well lump the indigos together for now! These will do until I have the time and energy to make them full reference sheets.

Hands a bit sore today due to the cold, have a playdate between soulmates.
Fun fact, Milo and Dusk didn't meet till much later so this isn't canon. Karkat would never allow tiny Dusk to hang out with a Makara LMAO.
