LONG STORY SHORT. ⁠— So, I accidentally deleted all of my downloads. (Which includes the fancy borders and banners I made for this book.) And since Vani from the past didn't think about backing things up, I can't retrieve them. So we're just going to resort to simple borders and a non-animated banner. 

It's been a while since I updated this book, and I still don't have anything that interesting to post, to be completely honest. Though I have three chapters in the making, two of them are not graphic-related, but one of them is. So, let's look forward to that, I guess? 

Also, I've been really wanting to update my book covers, and I'm sure you'd like that as well. But, I haven't yet settled on a theme idea, so that's currently in the works. Let's look forward to that too haha!

Now let's get to the graphics, since that's what you're here for!

A LITTLE IFFY FOR ME. — I remember being pretty proud of how this request turned out, but there is a ton of room for improvement. The typography especially stands out for how messy it is, particularly on the banners. It could be a lot neater and more creative. This request as a whole was pretty rushed, so I didn't take much time to thoroughly develop all of the ideas. 

A LITTLE LESS IFFY. — I'm actually really proud with how this request turned out! I enjoyed working on the composition and the typography. I just think the manipulation and lighting could be improved to create a more dramatic/interesting scene. 

THIS WAS A RIDE. — I spent a week working on the lighting here. I had no idea how I wanted it to look exactly, so I just resorted to trial and error and experimentation. Overall, I'm proud with how this turned out! Though I do think it could have a brighter glow to it, and I think it'd be nice to have more little details here and there to make the imagery more interesting. 

CREDIT GOES TO THE BEAUTIFUL BASE. — I lowkey ruined the base's quality. The base was literally the most HD image to grace this universe, then I just casually obliterated that. I love how this turned out though! I haven't had this much fun editing in a while. Though there are a few things that can be improved here, such as the lighting and the glowing lines I drew on the skin. 

Also, I hope the little progress GIF is interesting in some way! I couldn't capture all stages of the editing process (due to technical difficulties) but I still think the progress is fun to look at. 

Thank you so much to awhgguk for collaborating with me!

ONCE AGAIN, CREDIT TO THE AMAZING BASE. — I didn't add that much to their edit because it was already well done! I just enhanced it a little, I guess? And added a little magic in there too. I had a lot of fun finishing this, and I'm happy with how it turned out!

Thank you so much to -CHERYTAE- for collaborating with me!

I JUST LOVE ASKING QUESTIONS. — These questions aren't too significant, I'm just curious about what you think! I've been thinking about these questions for a while now, so it'd be great to hear some answers! 

1. WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE AS A DESIGNER? — Is there anything signature or recongizable in my graphics/style that sets me apart from other graphic designers? 

2. HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS MY ACCOUNT? 

3. AM I INTIMIDATING? — I don't know if "intimidating" is the right word, but there have been several people who have told me that they were hesitant to talk to me at first. So, am I intimidating in some way? Or is it something else? (You won't hurt my feelings, don't worry. I'm genuinely curious-)

4. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN COMMUNITY (OR ON WATTPAD IN GENERAL)? — For example, are there any book concepts/ideas that you wish were used more often? Or, are you wishing for an event that isn't the typical war/competition kind of event? (Feel free to be as specific as you'd like!)

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT! — I'm sorry if this update is disappointing or uninteresting. I'm trying my best to make my updates as enjoyable as possible! Drink water and don't forget to breathe y'all. Have a great day and night! 

(It looks pretty weird without the animation, doesn't it?)
