Hi, guys! What's up?
How did your week go? I was supposed to be resting, but it got a little... intense ^^;

I was unable to catch up with my "to-watch" & "to-read" lists, they've become so long over the years! And don't even get me started on the list of games I've been saving 😂. I think I tried too hard and ended up exhausting myself lol, that, and a mix of trying to get a new job. My mother is worried since I got laid off due to AI (even though I've explained to her that I'd rather make VNs and try making it a living), her concern comes with frequently asking me whether I got a new job or not (every few days and honestly, her concern is making me concerned as well :'D). I'm having a little trouble getting some peace of mind because of it x_x

On the other hand, the sketch for the Market is done! I also ended up revising the Village Square concept into something like a Slum/Poor part of the Village--the new concept is: the village have a special area at the outskirts for those in need and also posted jobs there on wooden boards. I'm not sure what to call it yet, it's like a slum/what equals to the red light district. The houses would be mostly empty, dusty, & have plants/vines growing on them. They were prepared for those who is economically-challenged or migrated people/Myths who wanted to build a new life there. Basically, the houses were provided for free until they're  able to stand with their own feet.

 I've made a temporary sketch for it (less grand & even desolate compared to the village & market), but I'll save it for later in case I got a better inspiration for it >_<;

With that said, here's a sneak peek for the Market sketch! (the left 30% part)

You can probably guess what those stalls are lol.

I'm planning to take a breather and relax by making the Skies Backgrounds first though. I'm not ready to start torturing myself again with these details x'D the Day, Afternoon, & Night Skies will also make it easier for me to set the colors for my backgrounds' other versions so yup, Skies, here I go!

I do hope my mother will stop asking me to get a new job though. If there's an opportunity, I might take it, but with the AI hype these days, I doubt it. 

Ooof, that's quite a long update, isn't it? 
As always, thank you so much for sparing your time to read this ^///^
I hope all of you are well, happy, and have a full stomach! 
xoxo,
