So, most people who follow along with the Monster Hunter series probably already heard about this, but just in case... monster transformation is now a series canon. Shagaru Magala reproduces with the Frenzy virus- so literally all Gore Magala were formerly other monsters/creatures that were overtaken by the virus. Also apparently 'killing' and carving Fatalis into little bits and then making armor out of him still isn't enough to actually kill him. He will eventually regenerate from the armor... which means the person wearing the armor becomes Fatalis, which would explain why he is a hunter of hunters. Obviously as someone who makes primarily TF content- hearing those little tidbits was like stumbling on a gold mine. Actually- I had an idea of someone killing a dragon, making armor from it and having the armor regenerate and turn the dragon slayer into the dragon already, but I had been kicking the idea around in my backlog of ideas for so long now Monster Hunter beat me to it, lol.

In other news- only four stories left before I vanish forever to work on an absurdly large amount of big projects up to April of next year, or so I am telling myself when in reality it could easily take the entire year or more to actually do! Also dental surgery again so that is going to blow out like, a month at least of completely unusable time where I am in too much pain to do literally anything and just force myself back to sleep as soon as I wake up. Also I have no idea when the appointment is, he is just going to try to fit me in to whatever the next opening that pops up or cancellation- so even the appointment itself is a jump scare waiting to happen, so I can be perpetually stressed about that because it could happen at any time.

Also, those four stories are not all that is coming out. I have a Christmas TF image planned to make, the solo image for Nelly from next year's The Shape Of You (Ghost Of Habits Past and Extended Family are the solo images for Quinn and Avalyn), and I want to do an illustration of the villain from the year's end finale Humanity Displaced. Then, if progress goes well enough on Humanity Displaced and Christmas Ham in December I will write and release Sweet Ass as a bonus story. If I do that- it will also have an illustration 'Sweet Ass +' to go with it. If I don't have time for the story though; I also won't do the illustration. It will come after all the novellas and CYOA next year, so if it doesn't come out in December it will be a loooooong wait till it does, so fingers crossed. If I go in for dental surgery before Christmas its basically guaranteed to not get done, lol. The Valkyrie images are from that story, but they don't count as illustrations for it exactly, because Valkyrie isn't THE main character... but she is A main character.
