"But why," they ask, not knowing what they speak, "Should mistress of the moon care for the dead? What has a goddess of wisdom to do With shades whose promises from life were vain? Why should one such as her concern herself: She is not god of death (indeed, I've heard That such-and-such an ancient grudge remains Between her and the God of Death, though what The truth of that may be, I could not say.) It must be syncretism. It must be Some late interpretation, from some sect Whose secret mystery rites misunderstood Have been by later scholars." And they go Their way. And Firiel rebukes them not: For her domain is wisdom, not such fools. - Rob MacWolf ________________________ Depicted is a mural split down the middle. on the left his a woman made of silver, a white dresss clings to her frame and her black hair falls behind her like the curtain of night revealing a dense starscape. In her arms is a small canine child clutching her finger garbed in green. On the right half she faces away from the viewer, her hair now stark white with streaks of black that seem to radiate darkness and her pristine dress is stained black. One monstrously long arm clutches a green cloth at one side, crimson blood flowing down her limb while the other holds a scarlet colored wolf child to her shoulder, the child's face is partially obscured by her hair.

The remaster of Mare Solatium, by @itomaisfuzzy.bsky.social, with some writing by me, is up: subscribestar.adult/posts/2298348
(We're gonna be posting it to Subscribestar rather than Itchio cause we don't trust them with queer or NSFW works.)
Which, yeah, this is NSFW.

just need to recode the first chapter of Persephius's route then the VN sprite/NVL reformatting will be done, from there @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog has already chunked through writing the first chapter of another route and with a lil determination i'll have that all coded and before the end of feb
Okay I'm a little sorry. But not enough to stop.

Making more progress. Currently working on the direct lead up to one of the romance scenes and god damn it I only just remembered a little bit ago what one of the weird ass inspirations for this scene is and it's just like. Nope, I- We're doing this. This is what's happening.
I'm not sorry.

Well, that's a lot of new followers!
Welcome, I hope you like the story, and... this is a passion project of only two people, so maybe don't hold your breath, we can only work on it when we get the chance.
We are here. We have always been here. And no one can say that we weren't.
OOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLD sprite work of an upcoming character in the VN. This boy (alongside Dahlen) predates the entirety of Mare Solatium's premise being nailed down. Yes the snake is his tail.
When he tries to be stoic his tail usually gives him away.
Literally no thoughts going on in this little guy's head.
Sprite update going well, I think~ This man has S H A P E S~

Stay tuned...
Once we have the thumbs up from @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog I'll be posting the latest build tomorrow~ (the PC build anyway, the Mac builds always give me trouble for some reason so until I can get a hold of a friend of mine that one is on hold)
@robmacwolf.thevoice.dog is doing a quick proof read of the build to make sure everything flows smoothly~ \o/
RENPY IS MAKING THE BUILDS \o/
I got a bunch of drawing done and now I'm just staring at Ren'py like.....
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #200,507!
Oh wow we got here somewhat early! O:
Half of the cgs for the romance scene in the next chapter of the VN are done @.@ I just gotta get through these then all that's left is coding @.@
A preliminary map of the liminal city, Mare Solatium, that I scribbled up in my spare time a while back. I made it so that when I'm doing backgrounds that feature outside areas I can attempt to make parts of the city one could possibly find on here. With color coded districts~

Brain is in a holding pattern while I wait for Rob to get back from AnthroCon. BY THE WAY YOU CAN SEE HIM AT ANTHROCON doing a bunch of panels and a live recording of VOICE OF DOG
