Last night, I was given a Diamond Badge on DeviantArt for Embrace of the Ocean Chapter 3, so now I have Core - the usually paid for program that allows you to change your name!

As such, I'm finally CrystalSeaDragon44 on DeviantArt too! I've made changes to my profiles to reflect this.

I admit I had a good feeling about the story, but I never expected the response to be so good! Thank you, everyone!

I've come to a decision regarding my written works; I'm going back through them all, where they're at (currently DeviantArt, Scribble Hub, and pixiv), and I'm changing the authorship to a single name: CrystalSeaDragon44, the one I use in the most places.

As I move further into digital artwork, I can't just keep putting the gaggle of profile names in each piece. Already, I've marked several pieces with that name. I want all my profiles to be under one singular name...

As you can see, my efforts to try again at a cover succeeded! Now, I have a cover for the Stories of Embra! The larger canvas made this look so much better.

Meanwhile, I have been working on - and saving - additional stories. I'm getting into working on some comics that will be elsewhere, so once I get Book of the Dryads Chapter 6 written, Chapter 5 will go up, followed by The Legend of Darumond! I hope you look forward to it!

It seems my uploaded (self drawn) image from the other night for Curse Upon the New Moon went through!

... Except I'm not completely satisfied with it. Consider this a "first edition" cover while I work on modifying it. Funny how you think of what you needed to do AFTER you're done for the night...

I have set up a pixiv account! In time, you'll be able to find all of my stories and art there! For now, though, it's still pretty fresh. It will take time to update it (however, it will be first to host a never-before-seen picture from me!). Unfortunately, due to a character limit, I'm simply CrystalDragon44 there.

You can find it here: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/99143993

For those paying attention to my works, A Quiet Day..., which I had previously announced was coming, is now up!

Unfortunately, my backlog is gone. I was working on something, but not a new story; instead, it was the character drawing for Aurora from the Embra series! You can find the drawings on my DeviantArt profile now!

Thanks for the follow 😊

Finally got something new up for the first time in nearly a month: Star and the Golden Salt, the next story in Embra's series!

Hate it when life's a slog. The motivation was there, but not the circumstances.

It's been a slog recently, so I haven't been working all that much on the next parts to either story (which stands to be either Book of the Dryads Chapter 5 or more likely Star and the Golden Salt, the next in Embra's stories).

I have just published the last planned backlog story, Book of the Dryads Chapter 4, to the Dryads of Grovewall series. Now, I cannot guarantee a regular upload schedule. At this point, it's "when it's finished." Fortunately, if the series is "ongoing," it means I already know where I want to take things next! If not already being written, I at least have ideas! "Hiatus" means I want to come back, but I don't have any ideas at the moment...

Meanwhile, after that, there's one more series to catch up on, what I refer to on DA as the "Grovewall Series," another original content story. After that, I will be caught up on uploads, and I can really focus on writing more! (And drawing... eventually.)

For those following my stories, My most recent Embra series entry, the Missing Half-Genie - Part 2,  completes what I refer to as "season 1," which was entirely typed up in Notepad. There's still one more currently (Embra and the Old World, as seen on DeviantArt, typed in Word) before that series is caught up... For now. I'm actually working on what's next in the series, so HOPEFULLY you won't have to wait too long!
