Way too embarrassing

We've been missing her terribly, so here she is at last!🤩 Hold on, what do you mean you don't recognize her?!😅 This is Kurolay!😅 You know, the one also called Ruby!😅 Well, technically Rubin!😅 How can you not remember?!😲 She's that absolutely stunning lady who so brilliantly assisted our kitten throughout pages 161-189, only to suffer that unfortunate work-related head trauma on page 206!🤓 Yes, you're absolutely right - she has undergone some changes during this time...😅 but fortunately, they've all been improvements!🤩

I originally brought this magnificent lady to life back in 2020. In her initial design, I blessed her with feline paws😅 It's difficult to pinpoint what exactly drove that creative decision - whether it was my inability to properly draw hooves or the fact that I was slowly losing my sanity while trapped indoors during peak quarantine madness...😅😅😅 Now, after just over five years, justice has finally prevailed and those gorgeous hooves have made their triumphant return!😘

Half a decade ago, Kuralay was conceived to fulfill two distinct roles - starring in the Going Through Changes comic and headlining her very own series. While so much has transformed in my life since then, the burning desire to craft a comic exploring her complex destiny still burns bright in my mind!🙂‍↕️😏

It's truly heartbreaking to see our beautiful lady (though we can't make such bold proclamations while she's still wrapped in that exquisite dress😅😉) feeling so bashful... But perhaps a few dozen likes might just warm her heart enough to convince her to reveal herself to us?😘 What about 20 likes that bring me nothing but self-satisfaction?🤭🤤 Who knows what delightful surprises we might uncover then...😉

PS

WIPs for this picture (in a tradition that scares even myself) will be posted early next month
