What's up, RMers?
I'm back with yet more updates!
Remi-Chan
Despite getting quite some work done, it didn't feel like this week or fortnight now i guess- was particularly productive. But yet I did get some visible work done, so let's get into that!
Some of the new portraits will help with my effort to make Xaela a bit more likeable, as a villain who you love to hate. She was too robotic and perfect before, as RiseDemos pointed out to me-- so I've been going to something of an effort to fix that. Thankfulyl even throughout all of Disk 2 she has very few appearances, a minor one on Zen Nekoma, a minor one on Zen Aneia and a major one on Planet Draik. Beyond that it's a few small scene in the narrative of Disk 2's main story.
Her eyes prior were also rather boring and generic, and I figured an Evil God with ominous associations with Plane V: Labyrinth due to her consumption of Xarathoth (what I used to call Xalatath but I've opted to change it to keep clear of using a Warcraft name. I chose the name back when Xal'atath was just a small priest only weapon, i had no way of knowing how relevant and centre-stage she would become in the warcraft lore. I've done similar in the past, for example, Yasondre was named after Ysondre- one of the four dragons of nightmare.) who was a Vth dimensional spec of a much greater being invading the Plane of Fiction. There's a very abridged explanation of this from Kcab'L Niro in the 165th Simian Speed Draw.

You might also notice her eyes look very similar to the left eye of Kcab'L Niro. That is intentional. We also see in this her scary looking teeth, something she shares with all of the other children of calamity.

It's very likely that the 3 other Children of Calamity who have portraits will get similar enhancements and extensions.
Xiie / Rune
Xiie has finished the sprite for the Cholepteroi Female, these are the followers of Agrat Bat Mahlat and only one presently exists in game. They'll get their domain and stories in Disk 3. For now, we have only Sadu who dwells idly on Desolation: the Asteroid Belt of Jupiter's inner cloister.
So, what did Pjcr accomplish?
Making me worry, is what he has accomplished! He has been entiely absent the last couple of weeks, and even missed his paycheck which is very unlike him. I've got my fingers crossed he's okay and he probably is. Likely storm season has made things difficult or he's just had a large power outage or internet disconnect.
So for now, that is all! As usual, I have dropped some screenshots over in the screenshots and maps thread to showcase those new portraits in-game.

The Eldritch Mortician gets some love and attention!
Let's start with the facesets I not only upgraded but extended. All of her faces and by extension, portraits- have been updated with more dynamic tendrils, her new cosmic space eyes and I've added eight new expressions!

The Man Behind Everything
This is actually a scene I made a while ago and I haven't really changed much of it. But a new recording seemed like fun and gave me a chance to test out how well I could voice act with my dentures in. I'd say it went pretty well!Red Dwarf
Seems my youtube is back from its murky downtime of being a place of me just posting Simian Speed Draws. Here's a new Flavortasia with a quirky little bit of banter between Pep and his coffee-colored grandmother.Xiie / Rune
