QRP with your flower art 🌻

These are not concrete goals, but this year I really want to improve my art and to make more traditional work, the two of which go hand-in-hand, I think. I'm a little out of practice but I really have the drive at the moment to experiment with different media so I'm following that!

Trying out acrylic markers (and a bit of alcohol marker) for the first time with these sketchbook doodles! Dreaming of green at new year... hope you all have a good one.

Here's my #artsummary for 2025! Despite everything, I seem to have ended the year in a pretty good place. I'm taking some time to rest for now but I'm feeling more positive about my direction than I did a few months ago. Wishing you all the best for the new year too.

Winter forest ❄️ I'm not ready for autumn to be over but we've had the first frost here now, so I think it's time to share this pattern I've had in the works for a while.

It's been a long time but I haven't given up on drawing all of the FFXIV city states... 👀

I’ve started a small project for autumn - choosing a few seasonal things as subjects to explore and celebrate as I try out some different techniques without feeling like anything needs to be perfect. I’ll be posting what I’ve made over the next few weeks, I hope you’ll enjoy seeing it 🍂🧡

I achieved a bunch of things this year that I really wanted to do and I'm proud of that - doing more traditional printmaking, a gallery exhibition, collaborative zines, worked on my shop and received a huge amount of support from many places (big thanks, you lot💜).

Ancient records tell of an exalted Ronkan priestess who consigned her mortal flesh to flame, and in death rose anew, her soul eternally bound to the Greatwood. For thousands upon thousands of years has she watched over these lands. For @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social! #ffxiv #art #shadowbringers
