dray you don't need to answer to this, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you're doing well and that I hope you're safe rn

i'll assume you've seen the news. Yes i'm very lucky to be in one of the least affected areas. Family and dogs are fine and nothing broke at home, just a couple things fell off and the power was gone for a bit longer than usual.

We're very stressed and in high alert still, but we're fine.

While I could never complain about getting Jericho content, I am curious about patron swap Brigsy. I haven't found much information on him or swap Lethica. I would love to learn something about them if your willing to share. =}

Yeah sorry my brain is very Jericho leaning so it's really hard to dedicate time to the others :'''D

But i do have some thoughts about them!

Briggsy is a priest of shar sent on a mission to find the shadow knell, not out of devotion, but as a deal for his life. In true it's not hard to see Briggsy isn't very pleased to be a cleric, often being very loose with the cult's practices like not wearing his mask all the time, or straight up having a lot of animosity towards Shar despite her aid.

In truth (this would show up during their memory sequence) Briggsy did want to become a fearsome pirate in the past, but this dream was shattered when Shar cultists arrived to his town when he was a young trouble-maker, and slowly reformed every person they could to their belief, with criminals like him given the choice between Shar or death. Despite the indoctrination, he maintained a piece of himself, namely his greed, that led him to steal and trade away precious artifacts from the cult in secret, still seeking to make a name for himself and amass his own wealth. Sadly he is no mastermind, and eventually was caught by the church leaders. But rather than being put to the blade, his talent for tracking rare items became of use, and so he was sent to either find the shadow knell or die trying.

Lethica is a huntress with a keen eye and a sharper mind, a marksman now under the control of Mr. Crossroads and used to seek those indebted to the loa. Despite the jinx magic she's been granted, she's greatly displeased by the chains that come with it, and is now looking for a way to break them, or maybe even turn them against her patron.

How she ended in this situation comes from the fact that she's always been a daredevil, her clever mind only matched by her luck and easily surpassed by her pride. At the peek of it she was visited by Mr. Crossroads himself and dared her to beat him in a game (perhaps Lier's dice cuz that's fun). Despite her best attempt, her pride became her biggest weakness and gave the trickster god the upper hand. Given the "choice" to get her soul back, she became the god's deathliest hand. And while the title is rather flattering, this where her journey to find a way to twist her fate in her favor once more began.

Establish contact in DM's, move to discord for actual back and forth, ez

yeh that's basically what i do

Since the poll is pretty much done, i will say that despite it's current stank, discord has been the best way to keep in contact with commissioners. It's an immediate open path for conversation. it allows me to send updates, screenshots, and even the finished picture in seconds so i can touch up things in real time if needed. it just works! and as long as the pic is below its free user limits (i think it's 10MB for non nitro users?) it rarely gives me any problems.

Now if only they weren't being stupid about making every good update a nitro only thing while also pedaling age verification nonsense despite its endless data leaks :\

Hello! I was wondering if it would be alright if I made a beaded tapestry of one of your Jericho fanarts? Your art is incredible and I've been looking for a new beading project that'll take me months on months to complete.

I added a picture of a dragon thing I made a while ago for context on what I mean by beaded tapestry

Whoaa that's so cool! I don't think i've seen beaded tapestry before 👀💖

Sure bud, you can use one of my pics. And be sure to show me how that goes too! I would love to see how it translate to the medium >v<

hi I love your bird guy and mermaid 🥰🥺☺️ do they have names and how did they meet?

Thank you~! They are Sal and Jay.

They met per chance at a music event when Sal spotted Jay all by himself. Thanks to her extroverted nature and Jay's shy but friendly attitude they became quick friends 🧡
