This one's barely a throwback, but I just have to post it! XD
Music's tough, especially with genres that you haven't messed too much with, so these songs were a fun challenge AND expanded on my little witch universe, so of course I love them! :D

The finale is steadily approaching! As of now, the script sits at around 22.7k words (according to Lint), which is a bit more than I'd expected (haha)
On another note, here's some CG work from the middle(?) of Chapter 4!
