Illustrator, crafter, and hopeless FF14 addict!
My entry to the FF14 housing contest. A non-winner, BUT… experience says it may very well end up in the game anyway, no credit or shiny new title for Kiwi. So we shall see.

If they do it to me twice, I’m not sure how I’ll react! Probably with cackling laughter tbh.

Preparations for bicycle commutes in Autumn and Winter are underway!!

Found this yarn in the attic. Pretty sure it's Opal but there was no label on it.

Today on "I can't find a pattern I like for what I want to make", I designed a tiny crochet daffodil motif!

Not sure if it's worth writing up the pattern, but it will turn into yet more earrings. I have a collection.

I have a problem.

No, not the number of colourful crochet motifs that are rapidly taking over my existence.

Ends.

None of these ends are woven in.

None.

I made glow in the dark earrings and I'm very pleased with them.

I still have some non-skull motifs to block and make earrings out of, but sadly... further creativity is currently forbidden. The splint didn't stop me TRYING to crochet, but alas it is not happening.

When you hyperfocus on crochet so hard you actually injure yourself... no crochet allowed now, my hand is buggered and made of pins and needles.

Am I mad about it? Very. And hoping I don't have to go to the doctor.

Anyway here's some earrings. Thinking £15-£18 would be a fair price... hm.

So um.

My right hand has been kinda numb since about noon. Pins and needles and tingling. Fantastic when I'm in full craft mode... and probably repetitive strain.

Anyway I have been trying to finish some crochet projects!

"Kiwi, you have been crocheting less than a month, why do you just happen to have a 0.6mm crochet hook just lying around" shhhhhhh let me do tiny things
May 22, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Something something crochet newbie... I do tend to click with yarny things, so a project on a 2mm hook was only natural. Handmade earring!

Now to try and make that earrings, plural.

Don't mind me trying to crochet a whole dang cardigan as a first crochet project!

Screentones, screentones, woooo!! Here’s a completed commission for Kristine, a drawing of Atom from Pluto.

Tried to get a bit more… ‘classic’ in the art style!

Today, out of a desire to be a nerd, I used the kitchen colander to observe the movement of celestial bodies.

This is the right way to see an eclipse, right?

It was, indeed, kind of neat.

And now for the screentone commission chart! Fear the way in which reducing the resolution so much DESTROYED my careful monochrome shading!!

But yes. I am taking character portrait commissions, with 6 slots open on Artistree!

And here’s the monochrome version!

Reinstalling entire game and it’s still being stubborn.

So here’s screentone Lalafell part 2! I’m doing multiple versions for a commission chart - monochrome, block colours, and shaded. This is the shaded one!

I am sad because the FF14 patch refused to download for me. Will try tomorrow.

I do, however, have WoL art!! This is my main lalafell, Kiwiwi Kiwi, who I rarely ever draw even though I think she’s a perfectly sensibly cute lala! Drawn in Procreate, as usual.

My current obsession is, apparently, screentones.

It’s the layering. It tickles my brain.

I have been baking quite a lot of muffins, but these are so far the winners in the beauty awards.

One did try to escape sideways, but the rest came up with a lovely top!

Also this undead girl (an OC with a story idea behind her - she’s retained her sweet and loving nature from life, but not her memories) wishes for you to love each other.

I once saw someone saying they don’t understand why digital artists use screentones - it looks fake, they have better tools, etc etc.

Turns out manually layering cymk layers is fun. I’m really wishing I finished this Tikal sketch I’m using to experiment on though.
March 18, 2025 at 7:11 PM
Ahem.

BEE.

Having fun mucking about with Chaotix for @sonicthecomic.bsky.social purposes, and part of that is... well, just drawing them! So here we have a Charmy Bee.

It occurs to me I haven’t posted art for a while.

I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the whole surgery recovery dealio, but if you need a reminder that I’m a doodler…! I have a Tikal from Sonic the Hedgehog (using her STC version as ref), and Fizzy from My Little Pony!

Unfortunate glamour options aside, I quite like this kitty. I do like the female hrothgar, it just feels weird being big!
February 12, 2025 at 8:35 PM
So with my free fantasia I thought I'd Hrothgal for a bit before patch. And there I am casually going through glams because some of them look really odd on hroth, specifically looking for a top, and...

This is.

Unfortunate.

Today I am again attempting to combine ‘art stream’ with ‘raffle’! Character sketch raffles start at 5 participants, and get 30 minutes of drawing time!

The rest of the time is me doodling for myself, and rambling.

Will I finally get to raffle today?

Starting at 8pm GMT!
