Playing an NES game that I couldn't beat as a kid (and still can't beat as an adult, haha). Anyone want to guess the game (sans Google's help)? I'll draw a chibi as a prize if correct. 🙂

2021 v. 2026 I think I see more improvement, yay! C: (Characters: Lisette [Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns] and Lisette [Final Fantasy XIV].)

Sammy (Harvest Moon 64)! C: The hairy toe has come to bless you with potentially unnecessary stuff, lol.

Looking for new Nikke friends/moots. C: Feel free to follow! (My friends' list on there is currently filled, but I can make room!) #GoddessOfVictoryNikke

Bit too early to tell, but I think 2026's WIP is starting to beat 2021's doodle. C: (Characters are Lisette [Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns] and Lisette [Final Fantasy XIV] -- I don't think the latter Lisette is used in FF14 anymore, but I like her anyway, lol. =X)

I bought Octopath Traveler for my Steam Deck and omgosh; I've played a LOT of awesome JRPGs in life, but I'm definitely loving this. <3 Anyway, just chibis of Primrose and Tressa. C: 'Followed' Tressa first, then Primrose, and currently trying to beat Guardian of the First Flame for Ophilia. =]

Betty (Harvest Moon DS Cute)! C: (Yes, all the sprites in HMDS look alike, but Betty likes red grass, and I think that's cool. :] -- also, I had a step-grandma named Betty. She succumbed to Alzheimer's and passed awhile back, but yeah. Like with Woody, solace in drawing found here too. <3)

Woody (Harvest Moon HoLV/StH) for this wonderful collab! C: ( I've never played either game before, but Woody reminds me a bit of my late uncle -- similar beard and hair. =] It was fun getting to draw him! <3 )

Left: 2018 Right: Current redraw I -think- I see tiny differences? lol. (Characters are a young!Oracle [Harvest Moon ToTT] and Palom [Final Fantasy IV]. Dumb crossover fodder GOOOO.)

TIFO that "51 50" isn't just the name of a Van Halen album, but refers to a 72-hour psychiatric hold (in California; other states have their own code for it) -- apparently, Eddie Van Halen's studio was named after the code, hence the album name. :0 You learn something new everyday, lol. C:

'Before I put another notch in my lipstick case You better make sure you put me in my place.' - Pat Benetar : "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" ( Just a quick chibi doodle of my favorite pairing from 'Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns' -- Laney/Phillip. C: )

My 2025 Switch Year in Review recap-thing. 🙂 I'm surprised Guardians of Azuma was my most played, though not at all shocked about RPGs and Action games being my favorites. :0

Drew Mayor Thomas (Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town) for this awesome collab! C: I love his ridiculous hat, hehe.

As mentioned in my WIP, I was surprised to find out Eunhwa (Goddess of Victory: Nikke) and Kagetsu (Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar) share a voice actress for the English versions of both games. :0 Doodled chibi versions of each character because I'm still experimenting with the style, heh. C:

Thought it neat that Woofio makes a 3oT reference. Makes me want to bust my 3DS out to play. C:

Forever impressed by the way my cat sits. 🙂 #catsky

WIP! C: I recently learned Eunhwa (Goddess of Victory: Nikke) and Kagetsu (Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar) share a voice actress (English). :0 Doodling the two 'cause why not? =X (Also, stuff going on here IRL and need a distraction lol.)

Someone posted in a group about Lvl. 99 Gilbart (Edward) wrecking house with the Apollo harp in Lunarian Subterrane (FFIV GBA/PSP). It got me wanting to replay GBA to see if that's true (my memory is fuzzy, despite knowing I overlevel Spoony Bard regardless). =X Pheer my favorite screens lol. C:

Days late, but here nonetheless. C: Hope y'alls first forays into the New Year are going well! (I didn't eat any black eyed peas. D: I hope I'll be okay, lol.) Have a random crossover art. =] yay.

Final Fantasy IV is, hands down, my favorite. My parents bought it as Final Fantasy II (for the SNES); it was the first game I finished sans help, and my first foray into JRPGs. 🙂 I think it's the best Final Fantasy, though I'm not sure if that's nostalgia talking? Lol. What's your favorite FF? 🤔

Four games that I enjoyed in 2025. ✨️

Connie (Harvest Moon: My Little Shop) for the collab! C: MLS was one of many HM titles that I've never played, unfortunately. Hopefully I did her justice! :D

Having a bad day? I hope my boyos, Spiffy (mini panther) and Natsu (tabby), cheer you up. 😊 (Or, even if you just love cats, I hope you get enjoyment from the pics too. 💖) #catsky

A tad bit late, but Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / whatevs, to those of you whom celebrate! =] Have a random doodle of my crossover pairing and kiddos for the occasion, lol.

Gonna tell my nieces and nephews this is Natsu, Happy, and Gray, from Fairy Tail. 😂 (Bought "Farmagia" with some extra Christmas money. I know the author/artist of Fairy Tail did the illustrations for this game, but geez; didn't expect a close resemblance! :0 Lol.)

Trade with @blackphenex5.bsky.social ! =D Sorry again for not posting it before I left. ;-; Hope it's good, though! C:

My part of a recent art trade with @mysidian.bsky.social #oc #originalcharacter #finalfantasy #arttrade

I'll admit it: "Epilogue" at the very end of Terminus Ticket made me burst into tears. I've never been very good with death (having watched two people I love die from cancer) and that was the icing on the cake. Still, I'm happy Nora got to go home. Well done, Shift Up. 💖 #GoddessOfVictoryNikke

More chibi-ish experimenting-ish. C: Doodled my favorite fictional twins for Twin Day -- which was yesterday, oops. =P (Characters are Porom and Palom, from the original FFIV game. =X) #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyIV

When 2019's version (left) clearly outclasses 2025's (right). D: lol. (Characters are Skye [Harvest Moon DS] and Serena [Dragon Quest XI]. Just a random crossover friendship doodle, yay. :P)

Couple of Scions that I felt like doodling. C: ( Plz to be note that I left off at the end of the second part of 'A Realm Reborn' and can't play the game/expansions anytime soon due to IRL responsibilities, so no spoilers/griping about current canon stuff plz. D: ) #FinalFantasyXIV

Fan Characters! :0 Leftmost is Serafina (Final Fantasy IV) and middle/right are Eustace and Camille (Harvest Moon ToTT). Ignore the deranged crossover plot, maybe? 😅 lol.

🤨? lol. #FieldsOfMistria

Husband was playing with our cat, Natsu. How Natsu's adorableness gets me is uncertain, lol. #cats #catsky

2016 v. 2025 Oh dear -- it's the wrong Gray-sama! D: (Characters are Gray [Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town] and Juvia Lockser [Fairy Tail], with smaller appearances by Claire and Gray Fullbuster.)

Finished 'Terminus Ticket' a bit ago. Put down my phone, and went to my back porch to blankly stare at the grass -- like, I knew (spoiler) was going to happen, but ... 😥 Ouch. Anyway, Shift Up really knows how to tell a story, and it's the reason why I keep playing. 💖 #GoddessOfVictoryNikke

[2016 v. 2025] tfw you're happy with how things are turning out so far. C: (The leftmost is my Final Fantasy IV fan character, Serafina. Kinda embarrassed to reveal the other two for now, lol.)

Doodled Gustafa's daughter (Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life) for the collab. =] I think her outfit is adorable, tbh.

2018 v 2025 Not sure if the newest one is a glow up, but I did have fun trying to recreate! :] (Characters: Lotte [my FC], Kamil [Harvest Moon ToTT], and Porom [FFIV: The After].)

Aw yiss, let's GOOOOOO! 😎 (I was so surprised to see "PILGRIM" flash, though I was afraid it was gonna be either Noah or Isabel, lol. I don't have [but have been wanting] Cindy, either, which makes my cruddy day a million times better! 💖) #GoddessOfVictoryNikke

Left: 2018 Right: Today Right is still a WIP, but I think it's turning out better than the 7 years ago version so far. C: Can't wait to shade and work on a background! =]

Can't delete the last post for some reason, but I think this deserves double the hype anyway! 🙂 TBR's finale of his fanfic had me on the edge of my seat! It was awesome and I hope to anyone reading that they'll enjoy it too. =] Thanks again TBR! 💖

At long last, the finale of the fan-fic "Search in Kirtos", starring @mysidian.bsky.social OC Lotte, and my Olympica characters. tbrde90ste.blogspot.com/2025/12/sear... I hope it was worth the wait, Aa-chan. 😅 Hope you like it! 😉 #Story #fanfic #Olympica #FF4 #HarvestMoon #OC

Hey, uhm ... if you don't want me to follow you on any account/platform for any reason, just lmk and I'll unfollow you. 🙂 Just saying (since I apparently followed an account I wasn't supposed to). 🤷‍♀️

Attempted to doodle in #GoddessOfVictoryNikke characters for this meme. :0 ( Feel free to skip over; I know this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. =] )

Doodled Jessie ("Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town") for this awesome collab! C: Sweet Meemaw power GOOO! :D

Christmas came a bit early, yay. 🙂 (I've only put in 2 hours so far, but loving it so far! Fully voiced scenes are the best. 💖)

Progressing in "Fields of Mistria" at a crawl. D: Game's fun, tho! 🙂

2019 v. 2025. I mean, it's ALMOST the same -- save for a different angle and better linework, lol. :'D ( Characters are Lieselotte [my fan character], Kamil [Harvest Moon ToTT], and Porom [FFIV: The After]. )

Left: 2019 Right: Variation of 2019's done today (2025). Okay, so rightmost is still a WIP, but I'm REALLY HAPPY with how it's turning out so far! C: Learning about line weight is definitely helping, as is continuing to practice hands/anatomy overall. :D
