Passage of Fate: A Xenoblade Themed Fan Book

Hey broskis! Here's the official update I spoke about on Twitter regarding the artbook I'm putting together now featuring nearly every piece of artwork I've done for the Xeno series in general over the past ~3-4 years (including merch!) I know there's a ton of things some of you have never seen before that will be added in later iterations, but for now I just want to share the main attraction which is listed in the above photos!

In the past 2 days since getting in to Anime Expo, I've made a rough sketch of what I want the cover to be (which will change a bit as the printer I want to use will not offer gold foil printing, however all that will be changing will be the title changing a bit), the main layout for both the print and merch sections, as well as nailing down the overall layout of the book.

I hope you guys like my idea of making each page colorful, as I wanted it to be like flipping through a rainbow in a way ^^ I'm very proud of how the merch pages came out too! All thats left now is to make intro/outro and special thanks pages. Oh! And of course, we have so many amazing artists contributing artwork as guests! On the lineup are: @Kamaniki, @Blun_Z, @joypendant, @mitsuchiis, @Nithros, @Chirunuru, and @Kamuuei. I've also asked them to include short blurbs about what Xeno series means to them and how its affected their lives as I know a lot of us who have come in contact with the series have had our lives change in a lot of ways thanks to it <3

By the way, yes this book will be available after Anime Expo should there be any left over copies. For Patrons of July, I can also set up secret store where you can preorder the book along with the CON EXCLUSIVE cotton tote bag (A4 size or 8.3"x11.8") and shikishi board if there's enough interest. Would you be interested in this? Let me know!

Finally! If you are reading this and have not seen the notification in the subs channel on discord, your name can be added to this book! How? Just fill out this Google Form (if you have already filled it out please dont fill it out again!) and your name will be included on a page that I'm dedicating for special thanks ^^ Here's the link to that:

Also Also, I completed the sketch for the Melia daki, so literally right now after I have another hot dog for dinner (I had one for breakfast lmfao) I'm going to get started on doing the color roughs for both her and KOS MOS. Melia I'm very excited about since I want to draw her laying on a bed of grass and flowers (like her private garden in XC1) rather than just plain white sheets! Let's see if we can do something similar for KOS MOS too! Please look forward to those updates hopefully tomorrow, but definitely over the weekend I'll be posting updates at the very latest ^^ NSFW variants to come after then!

Oh Oh! I keep having extra things to say since this is a big post...for anyone still here, I hired a helper officially who will be taking over Etsy! I'm handing the store over to her starting tomorrow, but she wont be packing orders on her own until sometime next month. If you have any questions, she'll be available to answer all questions and help with anything Etsy related. For questions about Patreon, Twitch, or art related questions please continue to reach out to me via Discord! 

Thanks again, and happy Friday! The weekend's almost here! Let's enjoy it!
