It's starting to become a bit challenging to count characters! Soon it's going to be difficult to spot them, too... :eyes:

This update features another Discord user's character, so here's their series if you'd like to check it out!

@Emalie EEEE I'm so happy to have Elisa here! And I couldn't help but to draw Agares along with her. :smiling_imp: I've been absolutely loving your comic, and just so you know I'm still planning on drawing some legitimate fanart of Elise and Agares at some point! :sparkling_heart: Here's a link to Emalie's series for those curious about her lovely comic!

@stiatent Yay, it's Crimson Panda! But something doesn't feel right... it feels like something is missing... it feels like he needs to have Jregon around somewhere. 🤣 It also feels like a lot of his details are missing, LOL, but don't don't worry, they'll be added when I color him in :joy: The only bad thing I have to say about Stiatent's comic is that there isn't MORE CRIMSON PANDA IN IT! But his other characters are cool so that makes up for it :point_right::sunglasses::point_right: Check it out!

YEE-HAW 🤠

@beebutterbee I HOPE YOU AREN'T LACTOSE INTOLERANT, BECAUSE FOR YOU, I HAVE BUTTER. Yaaaay I'm so happy to finally have some form of Butter Bee fanart for you, Bestie Bee :yellow_heart:🧈 Lady Lock was an absolute beelight to draw, and I of course had to sneak in a tiny baby Lovely too!
OK y'all HAVE to read The Butter Bee Chronicles, it is literally so amazing and :sparkles:quirky​:sparkles: and GOOD, I'm FUMING that it doesn't have more love!! :triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph:I alone am responsible for global warming because I'm fuming just that much... :triumph:

(I have Zoomt so that you can see smol Lovely)

@Chocolate I had a lot of fun drawing Taiyang! HONESTLY, I was not expecting to end up drawing two chickens when I started this. But I'm not complaining, because they were fun to draw too! :chicken:

(Here's a zoom too so that you can see Guang better :^D )

@pjthetoonaddict Yay, It's Crystal! She has such an exuberant charm to her, and she's in the Cartoon room looking for suspicious people/villains that may be causing mayhem... it's a good place to start her search. :eyes:So, special thatnks to her for helping to keep the illustration safe from baddies!

OH MY GOODNESS even baby Lovely made the cut I love :heart:️🥺 Lady Lock looks adorable in this style too thank you for adding her :sparkles: also I’ll let you know my toxic trait is that I’m ACTUALLY lactose intolerant but I love diary :relieved::sparkles:

Also thank you for the support :heart::heart:️ Butter Bee will get some love one day! I’m actually thinking of adding some updated pages in between the iconic ones so people know what on earth (or ether) is going on when they enter the first chapters :sob::sob::sob:

also yeah I just spelled dairy diary but I’m gonna leave it because I makes it more cursed :sparkles: if I could spell the world would end because I’d be too powerful!!! >:0

Please draw hold the phone the weird hand head guy :joy::joy::joy: subbing to your comic rn

Nooo, I'm so sorry to hear that bestie :sob:I've heard that through cognitive therapy you can learn to unlearn your toxic trait of being lactose intolerant :slight_smile::boom:SO THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE :sparkles: Lactoseandtalented :sparkles:

And OFC!!! I love your series, I'm always happy to talk about it! >:^)

Also I just want you to be aware of this this message I sent in the Discord version of this thread... You are no longer my bestie, now only my ARCHENEMY. (Jk)

I love this hand man so much, what an instant sense of CHARISMA!! I am looking forward to drawing him in the future 🤣

@Zixixibi I just imagine someone watching those YouTube subliminals so they can fully enjoy BUTTER again while still being lactose intolerant :sob::sob::sob: and what is this??? A new butter challenger approaches???!!! We’re gonna BEE Rivals it looks like?? >:0 (you’re still my bestie bee in my book lol :heart::sparkles: thanks for sharing :3)

Sorry didn't see this until now. Will be linking your webtoon in the next update (this Friday)

It's been going well! I've been sort of slow on getting characters drawn because I recently got a new job that's been giving me waaaaaaaay more hours than I though it would, hahaha. But I'm definitely still working on this project because I want to see it through. :^)

We have officially reached 25 characters in the illustration!! WOOHOO!! That's a quarter of the way to the goal, I can't believe it!

@Chronomel I love Strawberry, and honestly all of your characters have such fun and cute designs, I'm glad I had an excuse here to draw one of your characters! :^) :cherries::cake:

@miyaskya Thallios is so elegant, he's making the fantasy room so classy with his presence! Everyone at the dinner table's going to have to bring their manners now. I also really love his lovely traditional clothes, too! :white_flower::cherry_blossom::white_flower:

@simonitropunk Lyza is such a badass! I think that if any jerks enter the Sci-fi room she's going to kick their asses, hahaha. Thank you Lyza for being the Sci-fi bouncer! :+1:

@SpookyLocker I love elves, so that ended up being the deciding factor in my choice. :joy: The convention organizers will go bananas when they find out that is in fact not a cosplayer, and that is in fact A REAL SWORD. :crossed_swords:

@GamerPrincessXI Luna snuck up the tree to get some peace and quiet, and enjoy her book! Honestly I would do the same, I'm the kind of person where even having a minor disturbance can totally take me out of my book. 🤣

@AmysGames Yay, it's Yukai/Blue! I thought she might be busy (Y'know, being a magical girl and all and being on call...) so she's a :sparkles:cardboard cut out!:sparkles: I like to think that she's either selling her own merch, or that she's become popular enough that people are bootlegging merch of her, hahaha!

This is coming out so cute! The cardboard cutout is such a fun idea, haha.
