Summertime and the Livin's Easy

Welcome back to our occasional update of what's going on around the THC studios!

• Shroud of the Avatar: New Beginnings is still underway - the Patrons at www.patreon.com/tortoiseharecreations get first look, so get on over there and join us!
• Commissions! Client work is currently taking up the bulk of Indi's time as she completes the second order for the Dark Unknown's game manual (all small black/white pen-and-ink-style pieces!), over halfway through and trucking! None yet released, but the Patrons (clicky!) will be the first to see any new ones! In a similar vein, work is underway on the Mists of Akuma project, a cool feudal Japanese/steampunk campaign setting brought to you by the creators of the bestselling Veranthea Codex! Super excited to be working on this one - but the story's the same! Not yet released, but the Patrons will get first glance! However, I CAN share a portion of the vinyl wraparound cover painting for Recap's upcoming album "Pronoia," for which I painted the 12x24" cover and a 12"x12" interior piece - I can't wait for you guys to see them! Album is dropping July 23rd, so keep an eye out for the rest of this and the matching piece!   
  
• Character Commissions! Though Indi's Waitlist is still pretty full, she can and continues to fit some individual character commissions in - drop us a line if you want to see your character or faction logo spring to life! 
  
• Go West, Young Business! This quarter marked the first time since coming here that we've left the familiarity of the mid-Atlantic states to vend at conventions further from our shores! We had a great time at SoonerCon, catching up with old friends - SoonerCon was actually the very first convention THC ever presented at five years ago, though our offerings were slim! We also caught a local Nintendo Play event in Denver before exhibiting at GeoWoodstock XIV, our second GeoWoodstock as a company! Thank you so much to everyone in those states (and between!) for making us feel welcome!
