Poll (public) - Who is your favorite girl?

Hi everybody.

The question is:

Who is your favorite girl?

Hi everybody.

Video - another new background

Hi everybody.

Here's Chesnut editing and coloring one of the sketches that we commissioned for this release. This is a work-in-progress, of course, and there is still a lot to be done, but I think you can get a good idea of how this background will look once it is done.
