If you haven't already checked it out, drop by the community Double Cluepon has set up: Emerald Kingdom's VShift.  The whole site is currently a work in progress.  We have some forum threads up, but you can feel free to post new topics, ask questions and basically comment all-around on what you want to see in an MMO.

In the coming weeks I'd like to start an art feature or two, like a weekly EK-related sketch, in-progress screenshot or what have you.  On top of that, from time to time I'll be streaming work for Double Cluepon via Livestream, and I'll want to make announcements about it there.  We want to embrace a very open-door development policy, so we welcome people to watch while I make concept art or props to use in-game.  You can also use these times to ask me questions about the game, or our approach to game development in general.

I can't stress enough that we'd all really like to hear from you.  The project is growing closer to Alpha by the day, and any feedback is extremely helpful.


On an unrelated note, I still have the two Odin Sphere marker pieces I've made in my possession, and I'm posting them up for sale here.  While I'd like to hang onto them, my financial situation just keeps worsening, so I've got to let them go.

: $150 USD

: $160 USD

I realize they're a bit pricey as far as work here on dA goes, but this is commensurate with the amount of time that it took me to do each one of these.  They're Copic and Prismacolor on 11"x17" bristol paper.  I'll ship them flat, complete with a clear protector in order to prevent moisture damage.

Priority mail shipping for each is $10 within the Lower 48 (USA).  International shipping will be more, but you'll have to ask me first in order to calculate the charge.

If you're interested in one or both, drop me a line via note, or e-mail me (fusspot (dot) art (at) gmail (dot) com) with the subject "Odin Sphere Marker Art" in order to get a quicker response.

One final note:  I have no idea where you all came from (Tumblr?), but I got a surprising amount of pageviews and followers today (yesterday).  I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for dropping by, as well as liking my work enough to follow me here.  With any luck I'll be able to continue (and finish) the pony series I've been working on at some point this week as I house-sit for my parents.  (If I'm feeling up to it, I may include Derpy as a bonus. We'll have to see how my mother does after her surgery.)

Speaking of which:  Getting prints done would be a cumbersome and unreliable process, but I do have the ability to make 1.5" buttons.  Would anyone be interested in a set featuring the girls once I've finished all six (or seven)?

Anyway, thanks for stickin' with me, folks.
