Yay, I am so happy to hear this! Your fic was really inspirational. Thank you again!

Hi @ollieseastone, I hope this is okay, I made a storyboard/thumbnails based on chapter 1 of your fic "Time will remember you softly" (see source link). The rest continues after the cut.

Like I said in a reblog your story is so healing and it has a great mix of action, conversation, and heartfelt emotions, and plays rather well with a multiverse kinda thing. It totally could be a bonus episode or comic somewhere haha.

Lately I've been enamored with all the storyboards (& the color scripts and visual development illustrations) posted by the artists who worked on KPop Demon Hunters… I've realized it's a pretty cool way to tell a story that might suit my personal goals, and I wanted to try doing something similar. This is literally baby's first storyboard so there are weird shots and angles, and it's quite rough and I gave up in some scenes, but I hope it reads well enough. It's a mix between thumbnails and storyboard. I definitely gotta practice more and learn composition better if I do a second one. I also hope I interpreted your story correctly! I took some liberties with some things (like, the window they jump from, or the positions during the fight with the demon); I'd have asked you directly but I wasn't sure I was going to finish this.

Anyway, I hope you like it and thanks again for writing such a wonderful story.

She just needs to seal the Honmoon.

Zoey explains a HUNTR/X iceberg she found online. Rumi isn't particularly happy they have let so many things slip through.

I participated in Touhou ~ Fanworks 'n Chill's "Moriya Cleaning Game Jam" as the main sprite artist for Magical Library Cleanup Crew. It's based on Blue Revolver's Scrap Attack minigame.

Misfortune roll. Ish. Kinda. With Tewi for scale.

I wanted to finish with a whipped cream frosting, but the cream just did not whip, at all.

The filling is lime whipped cream.

"It's an open secret that the forest behind the convent is where maidens frequently take their lovers to."

"You can tell by the royal purple draped on the branches..."

"...or by a group of sisters standing alone in the dead of night, guarding the entrance to the woods."

A dream I had about @ironlily-art's sisters a few months ago.
