A quick preview and an update (Patreon)

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well and if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you are staying cool. (If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, how's winter going?... I actually miss it right now)

Just a quick update, I'm working on what was supposed to be a short called Nikki: Good and Evil (but it's no longer a short, because me...I'm at 70+ pages) but the heat wave here on the East Coast has been slowing me down a bit. It was 95 degrees F for four days in a row (with humidity, it felt like 102) and I don't want to over tax my render PC (it's only air cooled) so I've only been able to work at night. I was hoping to have this done by last weekend, but at 5-10 renders a night, it's been very slow going. I'm going to try and finish up for this weekend (fingers crossed). But in the meantime, here is an unedited preview image from the beginning of the story.
