Cairns Aquarium! I paid extra for the sea turtle hospital tour and it was so amazing to hear from a guide who is passionate about conservation. Every animal tour I attended on this trip was fantastic (as were my other guides who were focused more on the history of the areas).

First big stop (besides aquarium which I forgot to dig out the souvenirs for) was the great barrier reef. Highly recommend Wavelength operated by locals who really care about the reef. Wear a hat and sunblock (mineral, not chemical or nano), reapply every time after you get in the water!!

I actually bought six packs of TimTams. We can get TimTams here too but (I didn't realise) these are Authentic. Got the socks of my dreams and great buns from Coppe Pan. I bought a bag from an op shop, to check in at the airport (traveled with one carry-on), and they gave me free dishware.

I rarely get past this stage with my OCs. I feel like I don't share enough about them either... does anyone even know them
#MyArt #OC-Jikhaa #OC-Ruso

Two digital sketches side by side with "Nichroous WIP" scrawled across them. Left picture vaguely depicts a man with short wild hair and furred collar, a confident and mischievous expression, one hand resting on a pair of swords, and the other hand inviting the viewer... to a challenge? The right image is of a Xaela with head bowed, wind blown from behind.

Got my order from @emibirdee.art!! These are all for me 😅 though I suppose I have extras to share with friends and family... Thank you so much for helping me out with the bag and checkout, Emi! The bag is even more amazing than I expected.

(Azem crystal for my new traveler + my crow friend tax.)

Collection of merch from Emibirdee's shop, including a crow-like canvas bag (with an Azem crystal on its head), a pigeon postcard, and various bird and candy stickers lined up around the postcard.

All in one piece. There are some small fragments of glass missing (I actually chipped a few tiny ones off while gluing...) but it's been years and a house so I won't find them.

I actually don't remember that birthday well (see alt text last post) but I fondly remember the gifter.

I finally found my stash of super glue. Since the previous 1g is rock hard, I opened a new one. So as to not waste it after fixing my pan lid, I also turned my attention to a very old project:

Fixing my beloved glass frog.

(I glued four parts into the rear piece before remembering to take a pic.)

In a flat plastic container placed on a white surface lie the broken glass remains of a glass frog given to me by my mother for a birthday long past. It has black and white googly eyes, a spot of red on its lips though it's been rubbed away a little, and its limbs are tinged a light green. The rear end and rear legs have already been glued together, as has the protruding mouth and the rest of the head. The head, rear, and two front legs are still separated.

My second year in #ArtFight, first year of attacking (33) very seriously! I ventured out of my comfort zone in terms of subject and was pretty surprised at the results. I also enjoyed getting to delve into a little backstory from everyone's personal worlds!

#ShareMyAttack2025 #ArtFight2025 #MyArt

Black and white sketch with a fuschia frame. Maron, Kokuhaku's sleepy sheep demon mascot, is seated comfortably with a slightly amused or smug smile. Her eyes are highlighted in the same fuschia.

Black and white sketch with a lavender frame. Solan, an anthropomorphized canine with black fur and white highlights, is positioned in fullbody attack mode and an open-mouthed grin. He belongs to MonoMagpie on Art Fight.

Black and white sketch with a dark purple frame. Blazinqflare's Eryl, a Code Vein character with an Ogre blood veil, threatens the viewer with the claw they can manifest on a whim.

Black and white sketch with a green frame. Vader555_00's Kato is an anthropomorphised cat with large curious eyes and ears, a ragged cloak, a plush scarf, and a menacing aura. He looks up at the viewer from a dark room dimly lit by small square windows.

Drawing process for my last eight #ArtFight attacks!

I had a lot of fun! I'd sworn off lineart but look what I did for a whole month at lightning speed (for me). I submitted a total of 33 attacks (20 friendly fire--oops--two revenges and one revenge chain).
