CHICAGO I AM HERE

CHICAGO I AM ON THE WAY

The urge to not pack my bags for the work trip and lay around instead 😩

Some days you’re your own worst art enemy 😩 self talk really is make it or break it

The cake! we have a few friends with allergies so I wanted to make sure we avoided any potential issues. Vanilla cake base, chocolate buttercream, white chocolate drip, chocolate covered strawberries! 🥹❤️

I commissioned @fluffleshoppe.com and she did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!! Exagora looks so amazing I’m obsessed 🥹🫶✨ Thank you for your hard work! Also everyone please go follow her!! ❤️ #bg3 #tav #commission #oc

30 cracks from my back and limbs echo throughout the home as I awaken, signaling that another year has passed. I’ll be celebrating more so tomorrow but 🎂✨🎉 Also did end up ordering a cake and once we pick it up tomorrow I’ll post a pic of it!

I hate having to ask for help, especially without giving something in return but we're in a bad spot because of this whole debacle :( Anything helps and shares are appreciated ❤️ We didn't anticipate this at all, and we're hurting from it. 😭 ko-fi.com/chocolamay/g... #mutualaid

Meanwhile less than a mile from me……????

Gentle reminder that deadline is September 19, 2025 at 6:00pm ET and that a lot of you guys like cheesecake! 🥰

I’m painting my pantry door but I put that door to dry in front of my front door, but once I can move my moveable door away from the front door I’ll go check on our new caterpie friend outside. I think he’s close to becoming a chrysalis 🥹

He’s just hanging out I’ll check up on him later

I found this little guy outside who is he?? #naturesky #caterpillar

Sigh

Comms CLOSED! Thanks you guys! 🥹🫶

9/10 slots filled so fast is wild to me thanks you guys so much 🥹😭❤️ One more slot and then I’ll be closing comms!

Thank you so much for commissioning me (Ridd1e on Insta and TikTok!) ✨🫶 #artcomms #illustration #fantasy #art

locally owned and operated 🔧

Wanted to post a work in progress pic for a comm I’m currently working on 🫶

Pride & Prejudice this morning with a touch of stress from work. We can get through the day (and maybe I’ll do some P&P doodles) 🥹😭🫶

At Pokemon DnD a villain npc approached us and I thought he was going to be respectful but dude fucking threw dirt in my eye. My trainer is now in a physical altercation while several Pokemon battles happen around us.

I imagined blueish black hair at first but then I put the red and it made me think of making a Tav for Penelope, my other OC

I’m going to the bakery today to see about ordering a cake and based on the recs you guys commented (thank you btw omg) I think I’m leaning towards either a Biscoff cake or a malted chocolate marshmallow cake 🥹🎂 thank you for the recs @callmerobo.com @aulet.es

On the way

I’ll be in the peak stream tomorrow!! Hope to see you there!

I have a thing tonight so I was just kind of aimless drawing before I get ready and I think I may have accidentally made my next Tav for my first Gale romance run (whenever I get time to play again lol) 😌 Idk who she is but I imagine she’s a Eldritch Knight with some other subclass

Intrusive thoughts are that I constantly think about making a cute little doll of my Tav for my bookshelf but with what time 😭 she’d be so cute with the red button eye and yellow button eye 🥹

Oh my god Pokémon farming sim and we’re playing as ditto???

Okay rethinking but this better mean we get more Rosalina merch and content I love her so much 🥺

I wanted a new main series game not a new movie but okay

🎂BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY🎂 Running a birthday giveaway this year to celebrate turning 30! 🎉 Deadline to enter is Sept 19 2025, must like and repost this post to enter! Will pick 3 winners and each person will get a bust commission of 1-2 characters! See page for art examples! Good luck everyone!!😊✨

Spelltember Week 2: Green Witch 💚✨ #art #illustration #spelltember #artchallenge

I’m terrible with Comm Sheets but here’s an updated post! Will likely be closing them early October to prep for ExtraLife and Muppet Commissions ☺️ Reach out via DMs if interested! #artcomms #comms #art

To Do list of the week: post Spelltember prompt 2, finish reworking price commission sheet, open birthday giveaway by end of week ☺️🎂 What should birthday giveaway prize be? Was thinking a free commission of some kind but open to opinions!

Self care days/nights make a world of difference 😭

It's my birthday! 🍰 May I ask for art shares on this fine day 💜✨ As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know! #art | #hades | #baldursgate3 | #dragonage

Thank you for saving The Grove! *** I like to imagine after Halsin returns to The Grove he shows them around, including a little tree climbing to get to certain areas 😂 Tried a lot of new things on this one and pretty happy about the result! 🌳🍃 #halsin #bg3 #art #illustration @davejones.actor

Streaming a little bit this morning! Working on the grove art, come hang out! Twitch.tv/thehayhaylstorm

I’m getting tired and my tummy kind of hurts and this is still a bit intimidating but definitely seeing progress! #wip #halsin #bg3 #art

Feeling really hesitant so far but I’m trying to avoid starting a new canvas 🫣 #halsin #wip #bg3

INCOMING ART: this time in the grove! Was feeling green today 💚 #wip #bg3

A thread 🧵: Husband is holding Twilight Imperium Day at our house today. Will be updating progress all day today (game starts at 10:00am ET and will likely end around 10/11:00pm ET. I am not a player, only a prisoner

Every time I try to even look at Twitter for anything I feel like I lose years off my life like yes I want to post art and support artists there but god it’s like walking through mud

Warm up that turned into the main draw of the night ✨ Always love getting to draw my Tav as a witch ☺️ (Posting last year’s Witch Exagora w/Shadowheart too) #halloween #witch #art #tav #bg3
