So, the big reason that Novel 2 hasn't had any illustrations thus far is that I can't use my graphics tablet anymore and most of Char and I's art workflow is built around collab. I was using a Graphire 2. It turns out that new graphics tablets, like the Graphire 3 or 4, wouldn't work with my current laptop. The drivers aren't compatible. So even though Char has a spare Graphire 3 for me, I couldn't use it for art! So, that really sucked.
Solution? New computer, yo. So, I have one now. ...In bits. Char is building it. :D But very soon I will have a supercomputer that I can draw on, and so we'll have shiny pictures to go with PK once again, as well as more shiny art in general.
Fabulous, right? Right.
