the line for this is utterly insane! I feel energized looking at this! <3 Is the pose freehand too? :)

Mostly, yes! I find references while sometimes indirect or at least similar, but then yeah freehand and tweak according to reference from there.

2nd to last?!
Why end the series?

'cuz one must change things up regularly aaaand also attend to responsibiiiilities~

But ... But...
What about commissions, then?
At least those you could do at your own pace.

I do plan on commissions next month, however between ongoing freelance projects and trying to tie down a much better part-time job, how much time I can dedicate to them and such remains to be seen, so it'll only be a few slots at best as far as I can initially tell. Even now I'm partially churning these out somewhat quickly 'cuz I'm trying to preemptively finish before I get my next batch of work and prepare for Comic-Con next weekend simultaneously.

Whoa...
That's...
That's a lot planned, I must admit.
At least you've got your life together; that's good.
