Moxiddizzle. Tiny hunter. She's not in Lemix anymore. I'm trying to get her some cool robo dogs.

A screenshot from World of Warcraft showing a green skinned goblin with purple hair. Beside her is a blue mana car, a DNA hooded Nightborne.

The same Goblin from before, looking to the side showing her beautiful hooked nose. A random person with a glowing green cape is now behind her.

i have no idea what i'm doing, but i'm having fun doing it.... even if Horde hasn't won very much lately.

a cropped screenshot from World of Warcraft's artifact appearance page. It shows "Frostfire Remembrance", with the orange, purple, and blue squares having a lock, and only green being open. The blue square is highlighted, with a text box reading "Kill 1,000 enemy players after unlocking a hidden artifact appearnace. (449/1000)"

#falloutnewvegas

a customized courier from Fallout New Vegas, wearing a blue Vault suit, holds a spear. he's looking to the side, where a young deathclaw is attacking him. the deathclaw's health bar shows it's barely been hurt.

the courier hoists the spear, ready to launch it. the deathclaw's health bar has hardly moved a tic.

it took me a bit, but i found one >:V
it's so pretty. i know you'd make something neat.

a moodboard showing nine images. The first is a beautiful blue and white print of an eastern dragon rising out of the water. the second is some flowers in front of a screen door. third is a person in a flowing hanfu walking away. fourth, someone pokes a flower petal resting on water. fifth, a person in a hafu with their hair blowing in the wind. sixth is a glass wind chime. seventh is a bunch of fans. eighth is a close up of an article of clothing. ninth is a ceramic cup with gold and blue details.

A screenshot from World of Warcraft showing a vaguely green Troll. He has long tusks that jut out from his face and curve slightly upwards. His hair is red, as is the tribal paint on his face and body. One of his eyes is milky white.

the same Troll from further away, showing off his outfit, which consists mostly of leather and leaves.

the same Troll, standing upright this time.

the same Troll, but in the form of a large red sabertooth cat with green feathers in his mane.

made a body type 4 Tiefling Durge to test out some armor mods and got attached....

a screenshot from Baldur's Gate 3, showing a pink Tiefling covered in blood getting up from the ground. His horns curve back, and one seems to be repaired with gold.

the same pink tiefling, now cleaned of blood, showing his hair is a rich black, stands. the narrator is saying "You know nothing of why. But you find a half-smile flittering across your face."

A closeup of the tiefling's face, showing one red eye and one blue, both with black sclera. The narrator states "With a shake of your head, you can hear your own blood throbbing in your ears."

the tiefling is looking down at something, with a large octopus-like tentacle stretching out behind him.

more Situations before the game crashed. was just about to get Leliana, but i guess she's too cool for my game to handle.
dog is named Herb.

A screenshot from Dragon Age: Origins, showing the elven Warden mage Faust, with three humans in armor.

Faust, Alistair, and two random guards look in horror at something off screen.

Faust and the two guards stand by as Alistair finishes killing a giant Ogre Darkspawn.

i've put his ass in Situations. he just met Alistair and thinks he's funny.
(he totally kissed Jowan before.)

a screenshot from Dragon Age: Origins of a blond Elven Warden. He's in the Fade, which is modded to not be blurry, and is looking up at a human mage. The human is saying to him "The others, they never had a chance. The templars set them up to fail, like they tried with you."

the same elven mage is standing beside two humans, a man and a woman. One of them is saying "We did it! I can't believe it! Thank you.. we could never have--"

made a new pathetic little mage. was gonna make a city or dalish elf, but mage.... mage good.
this is Faust, and he's gonna kiss Zevran(he'd kiss Sten if it was allowed)
#dragonageorigins #dragonageoc

a screenshot from Dragon Age: Origin's character creator. the warden is a pale-skinned elf, with blondish hair pulled back, and blue eyes.

another screenshot of the same elf, showing his hair is pulled back into a braid. he's giving Irving the side eye. Irving, a very old human man with a beard and grey hair, is saying "This is why the Harrowing exists. The ritual sends you into the Fade, and there you will meet a demon, armed with only your will."

the elf from before is looking straight ahead. Someone is saying "This is lyrium: the very essence of magic and your gateway into the Fade."

the same elf and Irving are looking at each other. the elf is much shorter than Irving, and his braid reaches just below his shoulders. Irving is motioning to a glowing bowl in the background, saying "Every mage must go through this trial by fire. As we succeeded, so shall you."

#dragonage #dragonageoc #ocsky

digital art of a human mage OC from Dragon Age in black and red clothing. he has long brown hair. his arms are outstretched, red scribbles signifying magic around them. he looks annoyed.

another digital drawing of the same mage. he's dressed mostly in red and black, with gold jewelry. beside him are swatches of colors.

yet another digital drawing of the same mage. his clothes are red, with black sheer cloth covering his arms and legs. he's holding a red orb that appears to be dripping. he looks kinda bored in this one.

I don't talk about my pets often here, but I recently lost my beloved cockatiel, Nugget. My best friend @buttercupbard.bsky.social saw this on my Throne and surprised me with it. Nearly cried when I opened it and saw this little guy.
