Minor Update (schedule + art, sorta?)
Hey guys, Sixbees2 buzzing your way just for a minor update.
So some irl stuff is coming up, I'm moving countries as soon as I get a visa which is probably this weekend. (I was transferring unis), which might make me a tad bit busier in the following weeks as I get used to that. I'll keep you guys noted if it causes some delays in chapters. No chapter today because I kind of messed up the scheduling and if I change this, I have to change like... fifteen other dates and I'm lowkey sleep deprived right now (sorry!). Update schedule is set for next week complete with three bonus chapters on Saturday and an extra one on Sunday for getting me to the top 10, seriously that was the last thing I expected with this story.
A fellow author and friend of mine joked my story had four nerfs (sci-fi, dual protagonist, semi-mind control, and the dreaded MCs that mess up) but hey! Look! We got here despite that! And that's cus y'all are awesome, you have no idea how cool this is to open up my laptop and see CyberGene on the front page (just gotta hope we get it to the mobile front page with the top 7 ;)
Otherwise, I'm here to tell you that I am currently looking for an artist to commission official illustrations of Ripley and Diana. I have a lot of ideas, and I've actually compiled them into a Pinterest page you guys are free to check out, these aren't exactly to my vision but they've helped me a lot when it comes to giving them a rough shape in my head. Just be aware there might be non-contextual spoilers about. I know I've used AI images in my marketing, but it's not something I'm proud of, and now that I'm making an income I'd like to get official art over sharing machine-made (ironic, I know) illustrations that aren't faithful to my vision of the characters.
