#Messmer #EldenRing
Messmer the Impaler from Elden Ring. He stands holding his weapon in one hand, propping up a large snake in the other. Other snakes weave in around him, with a giant snake skeleton at the back. The background has sepia clouds with green highlights. There is blurring around the edges to focus in on the character in the center.

Easton, a sulky archer who just wants to be left alone - so obviously he gets dragged along with the entire crew for an adventure he didn't ask for. His grumpiness is just a front for a deeper, more inconvenient secret...

Character (beloved favorite) for @dracoqueen22.bsky.social 's story Tethers.
A digital portrait painting of a pale, young-ish looking man with white hair and yellow-amber eyes. He has pointed elf ears, bangs that cover part of his face and is scowling at the viewer. He is wearing ill fitting but nice clothes. The clothes and armor are black in color.

I think I am legally allowed to make this image.

I've finally been playing (rather than watching other people play ;u;) final fantasy games, starting with 7 I was enthralled by long legs vs high waist pants, so of course i have to make things look silly.

#ffvii #ff7
Sephiroth from Final fantasy 7, mixed design from original and remake style, he’s looking pretty unimpressed, probably because his sword is now a balloon sword. A saturated teal oval is the background shape with halftone pattern and sparkles. Vincent Valentine from Final fantasy 7, mixed design from original and remake style. He squats a little holding his gun up, face covered by cloak and hair looking off to the side, silly addition to this is his very high waisted pants. A desaturated coffin shape makes the background colour. Barret Wallace, from Final fantasy 7, mixed design from original and remake style. His pants are also ridiculously high, in his hand he holds Marlene Wallace up high, she looks a little more menacing in doodle form than intended. An orange yellow circle makes up the background colour. Cloud Strife, from Final fantasy 7. Holding his buster sword in his classic pose, over his shoulder. The blade has dug in a little into his shoulder causing a cut. The weight almost making him do the splits. A purple diamond shape makes the background colour.

One of my joys in life is making merch of silly drawings of the shows i love. Silly art from silly sketches is freeing when you have constant art block or a busy schedule 😌.

#TGCF #HeavenOfficialsBlessing #HuaCheng #Xielian
Various illustrations for a sticker sheet of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official’s Blessing. From top to bottom, left to right, there is a tiny E-ming crying, A buff Xie Lian holding Hua Cheng, who has his leggy out. A very beefy Ruoye, showing off muscular arms. Hua Cheng proudly holds up the partially eaten, stale mantou, two tiny animal heads, one a white stoat and one a fox. Xie Lian nervously holds up a bowl with a purple goo monster sitting within. The bottom of the page shows Hua Cheng and Xie Lian sitting on a set of red dice, giving a little smooch,Xie Lian holds out his bamboo hat. The final image shows Hua Cheng with butterfly wings, weirdly carrying a folded Xie Lian.

I made some illustrations of G'raha Tia a while back for stickers and ended up making some charms of some of them. 💖

⭐ I underestimated the size I got, so they are bigger than intended, but feels good to get things sorted for my shop again after so long! ⭐

#FFXIV
Photo of an acrylic charm of G'raha Tia from ffxiv. He appears curled up and sleeping, the charm rests on a fake flower. Photo of three acrylic charms of G'raha Tia from ffxiv. On one he appears curled up and sleeping, the next one is him sitting down, eyes closed and smiling. The last charm is of him with his back turned to us, perhaps moping. The charms rest on a wooden lid surrounded by fake flowers. A series of illustrations of G'raha Tia from ffxiv. They show the three images depicted from the charms in the other image, as well as a few more. We have him giving a thumbs up, one as the Crystal Exarch, another where he is on all fours, tail stuck out, and one with him pointing excitedly towards food.

🔥A heart's a heavy burden💫

#Howlsmovingcastle
Howl from Studio Ghibli's ' Howl's moving castle'. He stands center of the page, mid walk with his jacket over his shoulder, covering one of his arms. From the left side of his chest we see orange sparks shooting out to curve above him. Howl's shadow casts the bird form silhouette with imagery of the night sky and the falling stars. Howl and Sophie from Studio Ghibli's ' Howl's moving castle'. Howl is shown in his partial monster form looking out over Sophie who grabs onto him. Her hand places across his heart shows torn vague image of the cottage/lake hideaway that Howl frequented when he was younger. The background are abstract shapes of colours, reds, oranges and purples creating fiery clouds.

#hexuan #TGCF #天官赐福

Pi Bada from the web comic, Dreadful Night. A cassette tape with the comic title sits at the top of the image, with the character Pi Bada drawn five times. Two profiles views of him are on the left and right, one with arrows through his neck, the other cuffed. The upper middle drawing has a severed head with black and red drips, the arms are also severed, one holding a knife, the other holding on the 'endings' list. The larger drawing of Pi Bada is split in half , his hands dissolving into the tape from the cassette. the 5th drawing of the character emerges from the split in half drawing. The black part of the background has faint sketches of items seen in the comic, a helmet, text saying 'END', noodles, weapons.

Been reading a manhwa, Dreadful Night 👀💦 and I fell in love with Pi Bada's haircuts, what can I say 🥺 Started doodling one haircut version and figured i might as well add to it.
(Forgive me for the eye strain ♡)

I have some doubt that they would both willingly wear these shirts but I have creative control, so it is done. ⭐️

#alhaitham #Kaveh #Genshin #haikaveh
Alhaitham holds a coffee cup with Kaveh behind him, one hand pulling up the sleeve of his t-shirt and the other making a small heart gesture. They are both wearing more modern day clothing, text themed t-shirts, Alhaitham's reads " I put my book down for this" and Kaveh's " I pair well with wine". The background is a Sumeru setting. This image is a close up of the previous image, but with the edition of 'drawn on' hearts and sparkles, Alhaitham has devil horns and Kaveh has a halo. Doodles of Alhaitham and Kaveh holding up two t-shirts, Alhaitham holds a folded top with Cyno flipping him off, with Kaveh holding up a green shirt with Tighnari's face in the middle. The last image is them both wearing a 'get along shirt', with Alhaitham holding up a floppy Kaveh, who is shoving his hand into Alhaitham's face.

🌱I've seen this all take place with my very own eyes 🏛️
#GenshinImpact #Kaveh #Alhaitham #haikaveh
Alhaitham stands stiff, throwing his hands into the air, coins are flying up and falling to the ground. Kaveh is on his hands and knees next to him with a shocked and unfocused expression. Kaveh uses his briefcase, Mehrak, as a helicopter. He his hanging from the sides of the briefcase with Alhaitham's arms hooked around Kaveh's legs, bring dragged along in front. Kaveh and Alhaitham say inside an open Mehrak, soaring through the skies. Kaveh stands with one leg perched on the edge of the briefcase scanning the horizon, as Alhaitham is sat, grasping on, no thoughts expression but a tears escaping his eyes.

ʚїɞ First new year art, still drowning in mxtx works~ ❀
#TGCF #HeavenOfficialsBlessing #HuaCheng #Xielian
Hua Cheng faces the front holding into white flower. The background has his eye, e-ming, in the sky as a red moon. The red sky background leaks into the bottom of the scene where there are sketched buildings warping towards the middle bottom of the image. Xie Lian floats above pink and white clouds, the blue sky serves as a background, with Ruoye shaping as a crescent moon behind him. Xie Lian holds a red flower and there are faint ghostly hands grasping onto his robes.

There's great power in being able to make your own stickers at home. Means I can aggressively decorate my iPad and diary with all the silly moshang doodles I did last year 👀
irrisdecent silly stickers of mobei jun and shang qinghua, one of them flying on a sword, one where mobei holds a hamster qinghua and one where qinghua holds onto an ice lolly mobei. Irrisdecent stickers of Mobei jun and Shang qinghua mobei holds shang qinghua in a folded up grasp. Part of the image is obscured by the rainbow gloss.
