Happy Valentines Day! Im gonna spend today lonely and sad like i am every day of the year anyway! Yay!

Anyways though, yes this will be the last chapter of the book. I know its not technically 200 chapters but im ready to leave this one off. Dont worry though, there WILL be another book soon, but im going to take a break. If i had to estimate now, i would assume the next book will be up near the start of next month, but it might be sooner than that.

Anyways though, this last chapter is going to send this book off with 3 drawings: one thats fitting for the current holiday, and two more that are essentially just self-indulgent hollow knight fanart lmao. I considered NOT posting the hollow knight ones since not a lot of people seem that interested but yknow what? Im ending off my book with some art for myself too.

So a while back i designed a moth character named Rose for sora, and just recently i made an entirely new moth character named Scene (who is non-binary :D) and i was like you know what? We're gonna ship them and make a dumb cute fluffy pink drawing of them.

I love them

Im also proud of this picture, i feel like i did a good job on the shading

Fun fact, i actually made this drawing before i realized valentines day was coming up so it was completely coincidental lmao. But hey its convenient!

Now some layers
Sketch

Flat colors (i didnt save a lineart layer lmao whoops)

First shading layer

Completed shading, no background

I still like this drawing. Its currently my phone background lmao

And now, sweet succulent self indulgence! Yay!

Anyways BOTH of these are of the character Hive Knight (who appears as an optional boss) that i think needs more love from the fandom because... Hes baby. Hes a bean and hes got good boy vibes and i love him

He climbed his way to like 3rd favorite HK character for me pretty quickly lmao

So anyways, this first one is just a sketchy doodle that i did for fun one night and then ended up coloring because i wanted to set it as my lockscreen but it was too blindingly white lmao 

Baby

I lo ve h im

And next drawing i tried a lineless style and also decided to draw the other bee enemies in The Hive area of the game in a giant pile with the player character being like "whats goin on in here??" Its just a fun little doodle that i think i did a good job on

B e e s

I love bees

Big fluffy honey babies

Crystel x bees is a new ship, thats really what valentines say is about. Its about me loving bees

I also have a sketch layer for this one and a version with a white background

Ok thats enough of that

I want to leave this book off with a brief heart-to-heart, just some real talk with you guys.

I want to thank everyone for bothering to look at my stuff, voting on it, leaving comments and support, all that stuff. It really has been a great couple years and ive made a lot of good friends here that i wouldn't have met otherwise. So thank you guys for being here with me. I hope to see everyone with the next art book soon!

Heres what im gonna do. When i make my next art book, ill tag anyone to it who wants to see it and add it to their libraries and reading lists and stuff. So if you want to be tagged to my next art book, please comment that you do on this chapter, so i can keep you on a list to be transferred over to the next one.

Alright, ive already talked too much. Again, thank you all for being here with me, i love you guys, and ill see you soon!
