digital artwork of lumull and z'ahra. z'ahra's shrugging as he says, "if i had a gil for every time i destroyed a demonic monster train, i'd have 2 gil. which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice." lumull is very confused.

digital comic panel 1/2 lumull looks unnerved as he asks, "y-you destroyed the demonic monster train? w-what *are* you...?" digital comic panel 2/2 z'ahra tilts his head to the side with a confused expression. "what, like it's hard?"

unfortunately mid-2025 was so awful for me that I couldn't draw for months, so i can't do a proper art summary ;_;

but i think i really turned things around in the last few months

i audited a drawing class at my local college in the fall

here are two of my favorite pieces i did for the class
ink and paper, black and white artwork for an exercise in three-point perspective. there is a series of floating tanks containing a giant octopus and its tentacles. another octopus is squished into a too-small tank beneath it, squirting ink. its tentacles drape over a box bearing the words "all you can eat!" a container of large severed tentacles is in the bottom right corner. digital artwork for an exercise exploring pattern and pareidolia. (i drew it digitally before drawing it in ink for the class, but i like the digital version best.) the piece is two halves of a whole. on the left, there's a cloud with rain and lightning over an umbrella and swirling waves. half of a face is crying tears with words written inside such as "sad, why, end" a bloodshot eye is the center of a sun on the right side, which is split into 9 sections with various patterns, emojis, junk food, pills, art supplies, and flowers.

such devastation... this was exactly their intention #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv
digital comic panel 1/4 a scene from the praetorium. gaius is in the middle of his notorious monologue while z'ahra and three other ffxiv player characters stand by: "eorzea's unity is forged of falsehoods. its city-states are built on deceit. and its faith is an instrument of deception. it is naught but a cobweb of lies. to believe in eorzea is to believe in nothing." z'ahra is dozing off while standing. the other three wols have the red connection symbol above their heads. digital comic panel 2/4 z'ahra jolts in surprise when the other 3 wols disappear. ddos'd! digital comic panel 3/4 there is an awkward silence between z'ahra and gaius... digital comic panel 4/4 gaius finally decides: "i suppose we shall wait for their return." z'ahra sighs and takes out his cellphone, looking exasperated and bored.

digital comic panel 1/4 g'raha, sphene, krile, and y'shtola gather in solution 9, looking solem and determined. a caption reads, "waiting to begin 7.4 msq..." digital comic panel 2/4 sphene says, "...where is the warrior of light? shouldn't he be meeting us here?" digital comic panel 3/4 g'raha, looking worried, replies, "there must be a very urgent matter that requires his attention. the fate of the star may very well hang in the balance..." digital comic panel 4/4 caption: "elsewhere..." the scene changes to z'ahra in the gridania inn room, in his underwear, holding up the yuweyawata fending top as if trying it on. he's looking at his reflection, smiling. clothes lay scattered across the floor, implying he's been at this for a while...
