#thanks again for your patience

[rocketkid300]

love your work! are you gonna update the ali roma fic? or is it abandoned?

Hi! Thanks for keeping up w/ the Ali Roma fic so far, it means a lot. Don't worry, it is NOT abandoned!!

I've just been REALLY busy recently with college applications/sports/school/work/etc... I've only had the time and/or motivation to work on smaller projects but dw I've been working through the newest chapter slowly but surely! It's a chapter I know a lot of people are excited for, so I really want to do it justice!

Hopefully if everything goes well (and Mattia stops fighting me and does what he's told) I'll have the next chapter out before the New Year! Until then, here's a little snippet from the next chapter to thank you for your patience:

Plum Calendar Comic Update!

Sorry, it's been 3 weeks.... this might be the estimated time frame it takes at the earliest for each page, if im honest.

The 2nd page is almost done and will be released very soon!

Thank you again for waiting so long!

Go read The Plum Calendar while you wait/don't know what it is.

@sharkaroni <-(so you can see the update first)

Hi I just wanted to say that I’m super sorry that I have not yet posted chapter 3 of The Things We Never Said. I honestly wasn’t gonna say anything but the last time I updated was in October and the guilt is eating me alive. So yes I’m still gonna update it but it’s gonna be a bit I’m not gonna lie to ya. I have about 2k words written and a goal of 5k for the chapter. Anyway thanks for everyone being so sweet and supportive. <333

in a little over 2 weeks, I've made enough book sales to donate almost ~$10,000 to Palestinian causes! This means donations to:

MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians)

PCRF (Palestinian Children's Relief Fund)

CareforGaza

ANERA

Safebow (which is currently working to evacuate over 50 Palestinians before Ramadan)

and a bunch of miscellaneous Palestinian escape funds on Gofundme.

I'm incredibly grateful and humbled by the response to my books on this website, and would just like to emphasise that my policy of donating 100% of my profits from my store(s) to Palestine is INDEFINITE. Pick up a book or print any time and know that your money is going to a good cause!

Thank you again, and free Palestine!

also, somewhat re: previous post - it's looking unlikely I'll have the update ready by the end of the month (we're now in the big numbers of january. oops), but i am working on it daily and progress is being made! sorry for once again overpromising; one day i'll learn my lesson<3

[souperluminal]

Hello!! I'm a huge fan of your art and I thought I would ask about your colorwork, because it's genuinely super impressive to me how all your pieces have amazing palettes and they add so so so much to the general atmosphere. Do you have any process to pick colors for pieces? Like using picture references, gradient maps, etc or do you genuinely just eyeball them? I'm super curious :]

But yea I really love what you do and love seeing every new piece!! Have a nice day! Ty for reading <3

Thanks! I very much use references, though I don't use the color picker on them, gotta train the eye. I have an ever-expanding reference folder of photos and paintings with colors that I like so that when I start a new painting and I have an idea of the color scheme I want in mind, I'll already have some reference on hand. Good reference really makes a world of difference!

I also like to bias colors a little bit away from their standard versions:

The more blue green and the more yellow green are both more interesting to me than the "just green" green. Nothing wrong with that average green though, sometimes that's exactly what you need. It's always situational.

Lastly, a fantastic color tip for digital art specifically that I got from Mike Hernandez: Use the RGB sliders instead of the HSB color selection!

By default, Photoshop gives you the HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color picking setup which looks like this:

It's perfectly functional and has its uses, but it doesn't really feel like mixing color. On the other hand, if you use the RGB sliders:

Now you can add a little more blue if you think that's what the color needs, or you can take away red, add some green, etc. It gets you actually mixing color and thinking more about how the colors relate to each other. It can take some getting used to if you've only used the HSB setup before, but it's worth it!

🌟🎉Keepblr Wrapped 2024 🎉🌟

thanks for your patience and contributions! i've tried my best to get a good overview, but if I've missed anything you feel crucial, please do add on :)

this year was quite eventful. here's a few highlights (not in order):

Fintan Pyren won Keeper sexyman for the second year in a row

Sal (worldsunlikemyown) created a script for the Enlightened language!

Shannon announced we'd have a 9.5 instead of book 10, to mixed reviews

Unraveled's cover was revealed, and everyone tore into it. Is Keefe actually attractive? The world may never know

Tam cam. featuring months of about 10,000 different fake blogs, detectives, and accusations--to the point it needed it's own separate tag

wiityispb won the best kotlc quote bracket!

we started translating wiityispb into several languages (Punjabi) (Arabic) (Nahuatl) (Hindi) (French) (there's more, too)

people started making bingo cards for Unraveled

a handful of people tried to get kotlc trending, absolutely flooding the tag and rendering it unusable for a day or two

Lavacake (marella x fitz), and the ship name arguments it started

Roisin (camelspit) hosted a skribbli.io session!

abscourse, the neverending debate about whether Keefe has abs (he shouldn't), which also dragged asscourse back to light (whether fintan pyren has a fat or flat ass (it's flat))

Lady Cadence won the 2024 Keeper Sexywoman bracket!

the Fairy Tale AU Exchange! featuring 54 lovely works you should peruse <3

a second event, the Keeper Big Bang 2024! find the works under the ao3 collection and by perusing the keeper big bang 2024 tag!

kotlc and keepblr's Fanlore pages are now being updated by Catherine! (everliving-everblaze)

there were also several themed weeks, such as Ancients Week and Tiertice Week 2024!

the infamous Anti-Keefe Rant by Stria (the-way-astray)

Hethen, Elwin x Gethen, which also sparked ship name arguments

we tormented @/do-you-ship-this-book-couple with a million kotlc ships

Fitz Vacker won the best keeper character 2024 bracket!

During said bracket, Quil (bookwyrminspiration) developed a severe, ongoing loathing for Watson the Dog, which people torment it about to this day

We got brand new official art by chrissabug!

like half the fandom was accused of being Katie (myfairkatiecat)

Roisin (camelspit) hosted another year of Roisin's Reading Rumble!

Strieefe, the pairing between Stria (the-way-astray) and her least favorite character, Keefe Sencen. Now with 21 (and counting) different fics, 8 artworks, and 2 songs!!

A few Unraveled scenes leaked, sending the fandom into a panic--half from the contents of the leak, half from the scramble to avoid said contents

Quil (bookwyrminspiration) drew krocs, which Fin (fintan-pyren) actually made

Unraveled, book 9.5, was officially published!! (Quil, bookwyrminspitation's, notes from the tour) with canonical queer characters!! the fandom took this very well.

They did not take the timeline well. There were many debates about when the series takes place given pop culture references in 9.5

Finally, we started transing several characters genders again! Notably, Laith Vacker

This brings 2024 to a close, leaving us all still riding the high (low?) of Unraveled. Jesus fuck, y'all. what a year. can't wait to do it again <3
