I've written the outline for chapter 4 and worked on a bit of art this week. Here's a color preview of a sketch I shared a few updates ago now.

This is Selina Sinclair, Mila's mother. She will appear in a short flashback sequence that kicks off the beginning of Chapter 4. I started working on some of these chapter 4 illustrations while I was working on stuff for 3.3. There is a lot of scenes that I want to do full art for, particularly with the ending of the chapter.

That being said, I also want to state that as of this week, I'll be starting on a full-time job search. Last year, all my patrons helped me reach a goal that allowed me to leave my current job at the time and my intention was to look for a more stable job from there. Unfortunately as we all know, Covid hit, and I had life obligations that made me rethink looking for work at that time. I've had safe temporary work during this past year and of course I've had the monthly support of my patrons to fall back on, but now that I've gotten vaccinated and the situation is looking better in the U.S. , I need to begin earning a stable income again.

I will continue to post my weekly updates as usual, but the point I want to make with this is that the next version update may come out later than my usual 3ish month period. I want to give myself that breathing room now, because I don't know what job I will land yet and it may be one that requires more of my time. There's a lot I want to squeeze out of this important chapter art-wise and there's some new ideas I want to experiment and hopefully implement if possible.  I appreciate your patience and understanding.
