I had hoped that there'd be more changes other than the artist's signature and almost double file size. Oh well

The parent/child thing between the three versions is kind of a mess. Not sure which should be which.

It's the cover of her next (apparently free) doujinshi, so we'll get a highres scan soon enough. Highres digital would be nice though...

Apparently Sayori really is getting married! She notes that this means she won't be active as an artist for a while. NEKO PARADISE EX will contain mostly guest artwork, although Sayori herself will do a few pages.

Also, this one should be the parent because it is the most complete.

I'm just trying to go with the one that has the least text per resolution. :I

A link for that info would be gladly accepted. I'm pretty curious myself

I would naturally think reading this would have made me pretty happy but apparently my stomach proved me wrong. :x
The hell.

I wonder if she would design her own dress. :3

It's the Pixiv commentary for this post.

冬コミのフルカラー無料配布本[NEKO PARADISE EX]表紙。三日目東シ01a「NEKO WORKs」です。

結婚しましたので、同人活動を続ける余裕がなくなり、サークル「NEKO WORKs」での活動はしばらく中止させていただくことになりましたが、
せっかくの三日目壁当選なので、ショコラとバニラを愛してくださった皆様への感謝を含めて、無料配布記念本を作ることになりました。
私自身が描けるページ数が少ないですが、代わりに素敵な方々にゲスト絵をいっぱい描いて頂きました。

内容はまた後ほど紹介させていただきたいと思いますので、しばらく原稿修羅場に戻ります～ﾉｼ

I don't understand a few pieces but here's the gist of it:

This is the front cover for "NEKO PARADISE EX", a full-color no-charge book I'll be selling at the next Comiket.

Since I'm getting married, I won't have the free time to continue working as a doujin author, so the NEKO WORKs circle will be inactive for a while. But, since [something], as a way of thanking all you Chocolat and Vanilla fans out there, I'm making this commemorative book free of charge. There will only be a few pages drawn by me personally, but instead, a great number of wonderful guest artists have contributed their work.

I'll think I'll wait on revealing the particulars until a little later. I still have to wrestle with the script a little.

The something is "三日目壁当選なので". I think she won some kind of award? Also I'm unsure about the last line, "原稿修羅場" isn't something I've seen before.

But yeah, it's great news, even if it means we won't be getting much more delicious Sayori art for a while.

"Since I got picked for a wall space on the third day"—i.e., she got a prime booth spot for the 3rd day of Comic Market.

Also I'm unsure about the last line, "原稿修羅場" isn't something I've seen before.

修羅場 (shuraba) means a fighting scene, especially one involving plenty of carnage.

Putting it in the context of the sentence:
"I'd like to hold off until later to reveal the content, so I'm going back to the mayhem of drawing original art for a while! <wave>"

Thanks Moonspeaker, that makes a lot more sense.

Man, the more I think about it the more jealous I get. I hope whoever she's marrying appreciates what he's getting!

At first, I had mixed feelings about her announcement, happy for her for finding happiness but at the same time a bit sad that we won't be seeing much, if any, updates from her now on. This may be the last of her works (with the exception of small sketches here and there) and would be quite sad to see her go. At the very least we know she won't be as active as before. But all in all, that's probably my own selfishness and she has the right to have her own happiness. So I wish her the best of luck and much happiness. Also yea, the guy who is getting married to her is quite the lucky bastard. xD
