I'll shoot you an email with story and character details in a little bit so i can attach some reference sketches!! (no hockey gear drawing needed :)) Also, a lot of my itch.io stuff is game design work from uni but i've since pivoted, you can see my newer stuff here, i'm doing paintings and poetry: https://shai.pink/
I'm confident in wanting to work with you! i've been a fan of your work for a while (but as a lurker lol)
