sofia – art update #4 and status update

I'm here again avoiding responsibilities and trying to manage my mood...

All that fun stuff will be down below, so …

Small check-in. I have the final draft of the demo ready, but I'm hoping to get it looked over by an editor one last time.I'll focus on assets by then. Below we have mock-up default poses for our main characters. I also changed up some clothing design. Runa's changes are the most exciting for me …

sofia – the pitch
