Hi, guys! What's up?
I hope all of you are well & healthy--because I'm not doing so good over here ^^;

So I've been having some mild diarrhea now and then. I think it was the berry juice I drank last Tuesday?
My mother got it from a friend and I'm not sure what berries were in it, but it was very sour. It was pretty good when I mixed it with milk though. I was fine... until that afternoon when my stomach started to protest. I was very uncomfortable and it was worse in the next morning :'D

The funny thing is when I felt better at Thursday, it started again in the afternoon/when it's nearing night. Whenever I feel better it pops up again and again as if reminding me of its existence. Now? I feel a lot better but my stomach have this odd feeling like something is pushing against it, but at least I'm not constantly going to the toilet in the afternoon anymore 😂

BUT! The good news is I was still able to do some progress with Saving Grace!
1. I polished the Throne Background. My friend gave me some ideas about the window design & I decided to put more distance between the pillars! (so they don't block the window so much & give more breathing room). I think it has become better ^///^ I feel generous today and I don't think I've shown you the Throne basic background yet, so take a look!

My only dilemma is it has become a bit more western than I'd planned >_<;
The patterns I used are still Batik from the Batak tribe (like on the floor & walls). Back then I tried to be subtle about it, but now, the celtic elements are almost overshadowing the Batik. However, it kinda makes sense to me since the royalty family consists of generations of elves and I can't really separate celtic from elves (they're like a set in my mind).

With that said, I will need to put extra effort with the costume design later to balance them--Indonesian traditional clothes/eastern flavor coming right up! >:D

2. The Market Background is coming along nicely! I've rendered the ground, rocks, trees, and bushes! What's left is the items/merchandises. I've found quite a lot of references for them so I can start making them this week ^.^)/

Welp, that's it for now and see you again next week!
Wish me luck, I hope my stomach won't give me too much trouble this week 😂 But at least I know what to drink now if I have a blockage or smth lol. Take care and stay healthy!
xoxo,

SweetChiel
