I stepped inside of the apartment, a waft of perfume stung my nose, Safiya brushed past me and was met with Hazel.     “It’s so nice to see you again, Clove,” Hazel began with excitement.     “It’s always a treat,” I replied while we headed into the living room.     Safiya and I flopped down on the key lime colored sofa, there was a white and blue porcelain tea set on the coffee table in front of us. Next to the tea set was a sterling tray for biscuits, as per usual. Safiya grabbed a few of the biscuits, stuffing them in her mouth, crumbs getting everywhere.     Hazel sighed and began, while sitting down in a comfy beige colored armchair, “Did you hear about what your father did.”     I stiffened, then relaxed, “Unfortunately I caught wind from Chester…”     “I really don’t think he should be doing this anymore, hasn’t he learned,” Hazel replied, “I don’t have time to watch kids anymore.”  ...

      After rummaging through my sketchbooks and doing some bookmarking, I have decided to create some more Character Files. Not that many, but a few of the main characters. These characters will be Bonnie, Midge, Caspian, Tora, and Hazel. The last two may take a tad longer to do since they're not quite finished getting designed yet.     Among other news, I believe I mentioned I am doing Art Fight, but I am also on ToyHouse as well. My username is microtoast , but it may be a bit hard to access it since the website is still in beta mode. I've just been posting Forest City characters on there, but you will also see some other characters outside of Forest City on ToyHouse and also on Art Fight as well.     To keep this brief, I am excited to finally share the old concept art of some of my characters and keep an eye out on the old Character Files because those are also getting updates soon as well. If I remember lol...     Th...

So some quick updates are coming to Forest City, hooray! This will be a shorter announcement. First: Yes there is a new Instagram account called forestcityblog , it is the new account as the old micro toast account is private, you can follow both if you'd like, some people may want to see the old art, that is okay or you may know me personally. If you do know me personally, please do not follow the forestcityblog account at this moment. Second: I am currently reviewing the old chapters and making notes on them. I am working through the fifth book, rereading the old chapters is helping with bringing up old plot points and characters and I'm trying to figure out what else to add. Third: I am on art fight, the account name is microtoast and there is the old and new character designs on my profile. Fourth: I am working on some new character designs for some of the characters with bigger roles, so keep watch out for those, they will be posted on the forestcityblog account. Thanks fo...
