I got my first fanart y'all!
Added 2025-01-24 12:17:36 +0000 UTCLook at how good it looks! I've been looking at it at least once a day.
The artist's name is winterseeli on Tumblr and Winter_Sage on RR. Go check out their Tumblr page if you're so inclined. Tumblr might seem like a weird platform to be on in 2025, but it makes sense if you consider the fact that Mark and Elon have been scrapping their platforms for AI training material.

I especially love the detail of having Nina wear the same tanktop as Leaf, the female protagonist of the FireRed and LeafGreen games. In fact, it's such a genius idea that I decided that little detail is going to be canon from now on.
Anyways, huge thanks to Winter for DM'ing me their work. I'm not on any of the social media platforms so I wouldn't even have known about it otherwise.
I do plan on commisioning art sometime in the future, but receiving fanart and commissioned art feels different, you know? One is a labour of love while the other is a business transaction. So I couldn't help but tear up a bit when I received that message.
Thank you all once again for your support and for reading my story.
