ms paint drawing of the waters family at an amusement park. urianger and ryne are at the far left, as ryne excitedly points off-screen. many paces behind them is thancred, who is struggling to carry a giant teddy bear and a large backpack, and a small purse also slung over his shoulder.

images drawn for my wife

[ #ffxiv #art #drakosmisha ]

digital illustration of drakos (au ra) and misha (viera). misha sits on a high ledge, and drakos rests her arms and head in his lap. misha bends over to look at her with a slight smile and his tail curls around his legs. they're both wearing pink ribbons.

genuinely some of these places are so fucking ugly or stupidly arranged that i wonder about them

picture of a living room with stark grey furniture and piss yellow tile flooring. on the left side is a three-seater couch facing a foundational pillar. on the other side of the pillar is a dining table.

another picture of the same apartment, facing the kitchen and front door. the kitchen counter and island are a dark red, contrasting poorly with the yellow tile. the minifridge is in the hallway in the same general area as the kitchen but not connected to it.

picture of a different apartment's living room. there is a couch on the left and the entry hallway on the right. between them is a pentagonal room with a large window above the couch, which serves as the "bedroom".

picture of a clean white bathroom in a third apartment. on the left is a washing machine and a sink. on the right is a shower stall. in the corner between the wall and the wall of the shower stall, directly beside the sink, is a boxed in toilet

i fucking forgot to add a picture before i posted the thread. anyways here's drakos and misha. the idea is that they are rarely smiling at each other because they're both autistic but they're having a great time so don't even worry about it 👍

ms paint drawing of drakos (au ra) and misha (viera). misha is leaning on drakos' back and rubbing his face against one of her horns. they are looking at each other with somewhat neutral expressions. because of the autism.

[ #ffxiv #art #wolcred ]

digital drawing of thancred (heavensward) and my viera wol misha. they are both shirtless and drawn from the shoulders up. thancred looks at misha with a slight smile, while misha beams at him with his eyes closed. thancred has a notch in his ear and a scar on his face.

hypothetically, if i were to reopen comms what would you guys want to get from me? the same stuff i was doing last time, or something else that i haven't offered in a while?

a collage of various drawings in a lineart style in greyscale with 1-2 accent colors at most. they are mostly of couples cuddling or interacting in some way, with a few single characters in action poses. the majority are commission work featuring wols with NPCs from final fantasy xiv.

chibi drawing of misha, my viera wol, walking and singing with a harp in hand. it's colored but has no shading

digital illustration of the artist's original character, sylvan, dressed as ryne from final fantasy 14 and on a dark background. it is a dark skinned elf with glowing freckles on its face and shoulders. it has long, curly red hair that curls around its face and shoulders, and one braid wrapped in pink ribbon like ryne. its eyes are bright blue and it has a golden earring in the shape of a four-pointed star. there is a glowing halo around its head.

7.4

drawing of a blue-eyed blonde woman in a stereotypical belly dancer outfit and turban, colored light blue with gold accents. the character's name is "Naan" and it is a heavy-handed mockery of orientalist OC design.
text reads:
- Egyptian/Indian/Middle Eastern
- Natural blonde
- Concubine/belly dancer
- Thief

twitter post by user @bengaliyaoi, discussing genshin impact:
tbh fanbase is probably just as bad if not worse because people will make designs like these and be like "hi guys this is my oc his name is habibi el slut and his weapon is a catalyst powered by his dick would you pull for him 😜😜" and thousands of ppl will be like YESSS OMGG

attached image: a drawing of a light-skinned man with curly brown hair, a veil, and a stereotypical belly danger outfit in green that covers nothing of his torso

many years ago in NYC i saw a girl and her mother buying like 5 of these at a walgreens. the mom told me she LOVES these but they’re hard to find so they always buy them out whenever they find them. i tried them once and got hooked. then i got MY mother hooked. and we took over the cycle

goldfish grahams vanilla cupcake flavor. has the standard goldfish cracker packaging but it’s light blue with a pink swirl in the middle. these are also plastic instead of the more paper-feeling cracker packaging
