VIVAT NOCTE PEOPLE, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY. IT'S ME AGAIN, LUKASDEAUDI.
ANYWAY,
Yesterday I've met one person and we've been learning about relationship between two countries that used be partners in crime few decades ago.
For that, I'd like to send thank yous to sun8day, that helped me understand more about Russia.
But, I am not here to just write, I've gone through the gallery of hers and picked five top deviations she's done. Here they are:
<da:thumb id="702769827"/>
Of course, there are many more masterpieces hidden in that top tier gallery, go have a look yourself

Reflecting
People might be asking "Darn why the heck are you introducing characters that won't appear sonner than several years into the future". Well, the answer's simple, my curiosity afflicted voice. Little Tornado will strike sooner than you might expect. Remember Edge of Sidewinder? I mean, who am I kidding, no you don't. That's the history of old - 2020. The faithful year everyone wish to forget, I bet. Well, it's been very productive year for me. Despite the twists I had to crawl through and loosing my entire team to... mental health issues (let's leave it at that), we still produced two big entries that year. The Guardian Syndrome burned, but that's okay. No one liked that story anyway. And given I started having certain aversion towards the context it's based upon... that whole AU is basically done and buried. Both Guardian Syndrome and Polygone Eclipse are cancelled, as if that wasn't obvious already. I won't be writing another Angels With Scaly Wings story. It's risky and painful. I've made a lot of enemies in that fandom and stuff would go down like with the bronies in 2016. I am rambling about darn nothing. Anyway, I am sticking to the plan. You guys have voted for Curse of Sidewinder and I want to introduce Seraphina with Tanis a wee bit sooner than Awakening concludes. I dunno if I'll even be here to finish it, as the matter of fact. Let's say I don't know how long I've got left. And that's why I am rushing this thing. The old fashioned speed run! I am already writing Little Tornado's first chapter. It's a little too soon to call it ready, but it's a start. I can't afford to wait. That is the message of today! Let's stick to it like a glue. Guys... Stay safe out there! I will finish this AU even if it's the last thing I do on this Earth! L
The clock is ticking
I was casually brainstorming ideas with Cinder tonight when the reality check hit me... I won't be able to finish this project in my lifetime. I am running out of time. There's so much to be told. Three big stories and who knows how many small ones afterwards. So many things I'd love to share about this world of mine... I've turned 26 this year. I am predicted to survive until 30 tops. 4 years from now... I've got a year to spare to wrap things up. Tale of Lara needs to be out and done until summer. Curse of Sidewinder will happen afterwards, along with Ahishiran Dawn, as these two provide context to the next story. Awakening will wrap the whole series up, as the ending loops the whole story back to the beginning. The terms like "Last" and RUBY and "Takeover" will start appearing from now on. I need to squeeze the Lost Luna novel in the schedule somewhat as well. And the AWSW story that got put on hiatus due to the fans being out for my blood... I don't have another 5 years or so in me to wait, like it was in the case of MLP, where the situation somehow calmed down. The two years of staying away will need to be enough...
The way forward Q1 2023
Gonna be brainstorming and polishing my notes for Chapter 6 of ToL during the downtime. All of that while working on the three drawings I've got due... No release date for either of those yet. I'll be trying out new styles of shading (well, the old styles and their various combinations) and line art crafting to see what works the best with my current HW. Chapter 6 has been in works mentally for a long time, if I am being honest. But still some key points remain unclear and need to be explored during the scene crafting for the first draft. I am talking about things like: Sarah's alignment and her willingness to cooperate with the good side. That's a subject that has given boundaries I can't deviate from too much but that doesn't mean I won't explore the topic. Aikiro's and Nataru's relationship; again that one has a solid form fleshed out in Edge of Sidewinder. Even though I had my doubts about writing that one before ToL, it now serves the role of the main deviation-proofing of the lore. Alsius' role in the story down the line. And last, the final resolution of the whole humanity versus thenerians conflict. It's been shown that ordinary humans don't have a problem with living alongside with thenerians. But HGov does, unfortunately. Something must be done about it. Lanika has a lot of work ahead of herself. Let's wish her good luck. She's gonna need it once Awakening drops and brings her own Lantharian blood alongside with it.
Production quality and rambling
I seriously don't understand my brain sometimes. The production quality goes up and down like a sinus function, and I hate it. Running late when it comes to a schedule, despite the fact I was working on the story 10 hours a day since Friday. I think the cause for that is I had to take a break to avoid burnout which I felt was very close to grabbing me. The delay won't be longer than a day or two. I generally work faster in the first half of the week, so I am assuming Wednesday is the deadliest of deadlines for this release. I need to work on my stamina, to be honest. 500 words / 60 minutes, that's nothing. Realistically, I need to able to produce double the amount of words in half the time, so I can get the ideas out in a timely manner and have some time to relax (I am talking about time management; my day job vs. my art career vs. my downtime when I do nothing vs. sleep) as well. When I am running late, I usually cut back on relaxation and sleeping, which works for a little bit but
