Some new developments on the way!

Dear Mateys,
Autumn is nearly here, and some new developments are coming. Lulu will receive a new design in the coming of the new year, I'll spare you from any spoilers. But when I saw the real Lulu at the Outback Kangaroo farm when I went before the end of August, where she almost pounced on me as if to say "where have you been all Summer" I was reminded of a peculiar mark on her snout. Turns out this is how the staff there tell the difference to all the kangaroos, we have to look for the mark. I'm also looking for ways to instill that in our harbourmistress, but there's a chance I might only change her uniform.
Some other developments are on the way. I've been uploading videos of ferry rides on Youtube mostly out of Bremerton, but I'm hoping to explore more. It also turns out the Virginia V is having 2 free cruises on the last Sundays of September and October this year and I'm hoping to attend those. I'm also looking to volunteer on the Virginia V but first it seems I'm in line for a new job and I want to see how that goes before I do anything else.
Other new developments are on the way too; in my mother's favour I didn't axe Robbie Graywolf on DeviantArt who is a fan character for BobGrayWolf on DeviantArt after his confirmation on his character Bob's history. Robbie being formally known as Robert Graywolf II, a name passed down from his uncle. Well, I decided that I feature Bob and Bianca so much that I decided to keep him as their nephew, although I am willing to pass him on to BobGrayWolf if he's willing to make this canon. Robbie also remains a commercial fisherman working with Sig Hansen and occasionally with other crab captains like Rick Shelford (another Deadliest Catch captain who I will also feature in non-faceless boat form).
Some of you might remember that I sketched out a wolfess on DeviantArt who is Robbie's girlfriend and is also the new harbourmistress for Graywolf City (also by BobGrayWolf), her name is "Sofia Vancouver" and is a Vancouver Island gray wolf. I'm actually working on her reference sheet now. BobGrayWolf might no longer be on Furaffinity, but I'll likely feature Robbie and Sofia there anyway since rightfully they're my characters but true to that nature of the intentions for these characters Robbie is based of Bob Graywolf, so that in sense will be like having him back on FA. However, I don't intend to make any profit out of fan characters or fanarts and therefore he gets the treatment of all my Deadliest Catch fanart and any other fanart I do which means images involving him will not be featured on Ko-Fi.
For both BobGrayWolf and Syos-Spaniel on DeviantArt, I came up with a public transport ferry network known as "Violet County Transportation" and a steamship named Rebekah who runs some of the ferry services out of Graywolf City. I was originally going to base him of the Jungle Queen III which is a tour boat operating in Fort Lauderdale Florida, USA but I'm thinking of basing her off the Port-O-Call instead, this is a sidewheel paddle steamer that once operated in Seven Seas Lagoon in Walt Disney World.
As for myself, well I'm going to do a few changes as well, my boat-sona is still based off the S.S. Kitsap II but with some liberties taken. Ferryboat Jacob is formally named "Jacob Ski" and is actually wider than the ship he is based off of, and longer too, but stands no higher than the Kitsap II. Similarly, the boat character I designed after
Taliyus for my story will also receive a redesign, again being wider than the boat she is based off of (the Bailey Gatzert) and is slightly longer. The name painted on her bow will read "Corrine Ferguson" instead of "S.S. Corrine". She along with some of her colleagues are still based in Crocling Town (a community by Taliyus) and works for the Orana Ferry Co. which has a hub in Graywolf City, further expanding their port.
I still like to feature my other friends when I can. I'm also in the process of making up a series of pictures that take place in the Taliyus universe but does not focus on Fausto, Faleeta and their friends but rather the crew involved or try to be involved. Taliyus, 
Tarri, 
AntoninoCanino and me are all Taliyus themed characters living in our own community in the Taliyus universe, all of us are kangaroos except for AntoninoCanino who is a border collie. I'm still trying to come up with various scenarios on how this will work, my original idea was that it takes place on a railway owned by yours truly which was somewhat inspired by Petticoat Junction, another idea is that we all ran a pawn shop in Taliyus.
Speaking of Tarri, I've been meaning to draw her in her fennec form for some time, it'll be in a masterpiece involving her best friend Corri ( Taliyus ) in the ferry form I came up for her and in Crocling Town too.
Still going on about my friends I noticed that two of my friends have rabbit characters with more or less the same personalities. Golkeyx on DeviantArt has Clara Bunny and
Panda-Jenn has Bridget, it gave me the idea to bring these two rabbit characters together as well as one of my own which I already decided to name "Isabel Hare" and they have their own little gang called "the Mucky Bunnies" where they try making various businesses and get into loads of trouble. But my rule is anything that involves characters belonging to others cannot be made to make a profit and such projects are not posted on Ko-Fi.
Before I ramble on any further, I'd better cut to the chase, like I said, I am now posting videos on Youtube on ferry rides throughout Washington State's Puget Sound and more. I'll leave a link to my Youtube channel down below. Like and Subscribe if you like what I do there and want to see more. I've just recorded 2 more ferry rides in Seattle and these along with a harbor cruise on the Virginia V near the end of September, will probably be the final ones until Spring next year.
So that's what'll be happening in the future, and I pray that in God's good will all of this goes well. I encourage you all to support any of my friends whom I have mentioned, I'm sure they will appreciate that. I often include them in my artwork to promote them and ensure their successes.
