Gramps is coming along pretty well! Progress from stream today 👀

Supergiant Games can you make a dating sim where I can date Chronos (and Chaos), just asking
Art wip showing my Chronos from Hades II fanart progress. He's lounging back with a smirk as he stares down at the viewer. His left hand holds a sketched-in cane. Golden kintsugi lines wind around and across his body.

Gonna turn these space cats into mini sticker sheets! Fingers crossed people want something like this, they're really fun to make but I'm only doing four right now to test the waters 👀 These should be in my shop early December if mail isn't too backed up!

One hot grandpa sketch coming up I GUESS. Bsky will probably censor this rough body sketch lmao.
Using reference from @trueref.bsky.social as their website has some amazing poses listed for free! This is a godsend tbh and this one spoke to me as perfect for Chronos.

WIP sketch showing a man reclining languidly in a seated pose. The pose reference is on the right, while the left shows Chronos from Hades II reference.

Hope Estheim sketch I did on stream today! I'm a pencil artist at heart so it's always so fun and relaxing to go back to it. 😌❤️ Hope is genuinely one of my favorite FF characters and it's been so fun to revisit the trilogy this year!

The next day was pretty chill. We went to Dōtonbori and had fun walking around, eating street food, visiting an animal cafe, and ended it with okonomiyaki for dinner!
We also rode the Ebisu Tower Ferris Wheel! Which was fun, but probably not worth the price LOL
View of the Dōtonbori canal during the afternoon! View of the Dōtonbori canal at night! One of the cats in the animal cafe! She was so soft... Okonomiyaki for dinner!

The second tier are for more detailed and refined character portraits; they start at $60 USD and can go higher depending on complexity. See the examples below for reference!

Detailed portrait of Ganondorf from Tears of the Kingdom. The painting is more refined with individual brush strokes apparent and a lot of jewelry and accessories adorning his form. Detailed portrait of a client's OC from a romance novel! The painting for his face is smooth and refined with various shades, and his curly hair has a lot of lineart detailing. Detailed portrait of a client's furry OC! His fur has a lot of brush strokes visible in different shades of color, with less reliance on pure lineart. Detailed character portrait of a client's OC for another romance novel! He wears extravagant skull makeup over his face and exposed neck and a leather hooded jacket, giving him an entirely monochromatic color scheme.

Made space cat progress on stream this evening! I wanna do at least one more lineart and then I gotta solidify the colors and themes for them all. I like most of them so far, but not yet sold on the green one or the astronaut idea...

#art #Farisart #cats
WIP showing my space cats progress from today's drawing! Several of them are based on planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Mars) while a few of them are still undecided.

Midnight art posting, shhhh 👀 I'm working on some more sleepy space cats finally! Will turn these into stickers once they're done, maybe mini sticker sheets with 2-3 cats on each one?

Art wip showing a canvas with my cat sketches and reference photos of cats and planets on the side. One sleepy cat sketch is tentatively blue with a ring and some stars around it!

Proof that I reached the peak! And another shot of the gates when I was walking back down.
The sun was setting when I reached the bottom and the mood of the mountain on the way back down was immaculate. Felt so peaceful, content, and mysterious.
Also someone had this sick fox-styled bike!!
Me at the peak!! Surely my climbing in Peak helped me for this moment... The torii gates on the way back, showing the writing on the backside. Sun setting over Kyoto on the way back, near the bottom of the hike. Someone's cool fox-styled bike! I love this so much. Whoever you are, you have great tastes.

There were some bundles of 1,000 cranes at one shrine, which I loved ❤️ I'm tempted to make one of those myself someday...
Partway up was a wonderful resting area next to a pond, and further up some great lookout spots. I thought the gates would thin out at some point but they never really did!
A bundle of 1,000 small folded cranes showing an ombré of white to blue. A view of the resting spot next to a pond about halfway through the hike. There was a turtle swimming in the pond! The highest lookout point on the hike, probably about 20 minutes from the peak, showing the city below and other mountains in the distance. Another view of the pathway through the torii gates, leading further up.

Another of my favorite days in Japan was also in Kyoto, this time the Fushimi Inari Taisha hike. I've wanted to come here since I was 12, because I loved the Aria manga series and it features a replica of this location on it's terraformed Mars. 🥰 So this was a long-time dream come true aaaaaa!
Large torii gate flanked by two kitsune (fox) statues at the large shrine at the base of the mountain. Side shot of the tori gates once I started the hike, showing a glimpse of the words (names?) written on the backside of the gates. A rare shot of the path ahead without other people in the frame! The amount of people on the hike drastically thinned out after the famous early section showing two pathways side-by-side (I didn't get any good pics of that part of the hike because there were a lot of people there at the time), which really added to my enjoyment of the hike and the wonderful atmosphere. There was a section partway up the hike where the path diverged into a large collection of numerous smaller shrines. Many of them had various offerings. This shrine has one lit candle.

Updated my PNGtuber design for when streams resume! Thinking of offering this as a comm option in the near future 👀

Hoping to get back to streaming tomorrow, I caught a mild cold on the way back from Japan and have been working through the jet lag so it depends on my energy level!
Still image of one of the frames of my pngtuber update (eyes open, mouth open). I made her hair short to reflect the new haircut I got irl recently, and gave her an actual outfit that mirrors one of mine!

If you ever visit Kyoto and you like nature, definitely go to the Arashiyama bamboo grove and pay the ¥1,000 to enter the gardens at the end, it was so incredibly worth it. 💚
Another lookout view from the Okochi Sanso Garden, showing the distant Daihi Temple on the other mountain. This well-kept building was off the main path in the garden and only me and one other friend found it by wandering! I forget the name of the building but I remember it belonging to a lady, according to the sign at the entrance (that I forgot to photograph). It was very quiet and peaceful here, and a treat to visit. When my friend and I left, we looked back to see 'closed' signs had been posted at the path in the time we went inside the building, so we got there just in time to see it before it was closed! Selfie of me at the rest area inside the gardens. Tired, probably a bit sweaty, but happy! Walking back from the Arashiyama bamboo grove through Kyoto and across a bridge. The sun is getting close to the mountains and the rain has stopped. A blue heron sits at the edge of the waterfall. I really loved this moment.

Hard to pick and choose only four photos per post but I'M TRYING! Some of my favorite shots walking through the Okochi Sanso garden 🥰 Think I'll show a few more next post before I'm done with this day.
The rest area at the start of the walk through the Okochi Sanso garden. Super peaceful. There were drinks inside where you could select between matcha (cold or hot, sweet or unsweetened), calpis (holy shit I've never had calpis before but I'm a big fan now), and water. First section of the garden had a view of Kyoto on a small lookout spot! There was this stepping stone path through part of the garden, which was dedicated to a moss floor. Big fan of this part. <3 Parts of the garden path were wonderfully secluded like this; a pathway of smooth stones between tall plants (not entirely certain what these were) that muffled sounds from people nearby and made everything a lot more peaceful and content.

Day 3 was a trip to Kyoto to see the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and the Okochi Sanso Garden at the end of it! There was a nice rain shower at the start so we bought umbrellas on the walk to the grove. This was easily one of my favorite days from the whole trip ❤️ Gonna show more garden pics next post!
Walking across the Togetsukyō Bridge over the Katsura river on the way to the bamboo grove. It was still raining in this pic, giving everything a warm, misty atmosphere. Looking upwards in the midst of the Arashiyama bamboo grove! Looking down the path of the Arashiyama bamboo grove. Lots of tourists and Japanese alike; glad I was here for 'off season', I don't think I want to know what on-season (spring) is like... A cup of sweetened, cold matcha with my Okochi Sanso ticket stamped on the back from a stamp in the rest area of the garden. Absolutely blissful rest area, a wonderful reward for walking through the bamboo (and most people didn't come to the gardens, making it super peaceful).

Pics for Todai-ji and the Namdaimon (Grand South Gate)!
Todai-ji Namdaimon! Massive in person, pics don't do it justice Looking up at the Todai-ji Namdaimon Tōdai-ji! Also a massive structure, super impressive to see in person Inside Tōdai-ji, showing the giant Buddha statue within.
