I wonder what Ardyn looks like in KoY armor? Proceeds to draw for 20 hours. #FFXV #Ardyn #FinalFantasy #KingsOfYor #fanart

Budgietober Day 22 - Eagle Happy Birthday FFXV Gladio! Even as a budgie, you're still amazing! #FFXV #budgietober #FFXVGladio

When I asked myself, "How could my IT training apply to my art business and YouTube channel?" I felt my brain engaged better in the material and was more invested (and excited). I'm still intimidated by the amount of info, but I'm gonna trust this nugget of novelty to see me through. 🙂

Sometimes I wonder if sharing my art business journey is worth it. Three years and still not making a profit - who would want to read that? Then I realized, maybe other artists need this, and as long as I’m alive, my story hasn’t ended in failure yet.

Happy Year of the Fire Horse everyone! Ignite your hearts and trailblaze your passion! #lunarnewyear #tet #firehorse #horse

Dallas, TX area is covered in snow! My heart goes out to my East TX neighbors and everyone who has lost power during this winter storm. Stay safe and bundled y'all!

Read ,"You need to balance your budget this year" as ,"You need to balance your budgie this year" and I'm fine with that. 😂

While in the midst of a cold, I've found myself sounding like those Minecraft Villagers who communicate through deep sighs. *cough* *hack* *Minecraft villager sigh* 🫠 I'll get better. Eventually.

Happy 2026 y'all! Don't mind me, just an artist with ADHD letting the inner critic know to ALWAYS yield to me and the Chocobos. We ain't got time for its toxic memes and texts. WARK! 🦚 #chocobos #yieldtochocobos #finalfantasy #happynewyear

This was pretty much me yesterday. The COVID-19 vaccine symptoms *Noct* me out! (b-doom tching) I'm still signing my art with "2025" even though it's 2026. 🤣 Guess it still hasn't sunk in yet! #FFXV #fanart #Noctis #sketch

Y'know, I'm not sure you wanna start the New Year with this habit, Noct Gar. Disclaimer: Smoking is not good - will fill lungs with Scourge FFXV OOC: Noct Gar (character study sketch) #FFXV #fanart #sketch

It's nice to draw on the couch, especially after getting both the flu and COVID vaccines today. 🫠 #artcommisions #digitalart #artnouveau Want an art commission like this one? Send me a DM!

Happy New Year everyone! May we bless the world and be blessed with hope, healing, and wonder in 2026. #FFXV #Lunafreya #happynewyear

At the beginning, it was difficult to sense what was a ADHD-Induced depression/anxiety vs. inner critic-induced depression/anxiety. One needed medical treatment and the other therapy/CBT/DBT. For me, a blend of techniques, meds, and life style changes have led to a happier life with ADHD. 🌸

Sending lots of love and budgies to Jamaica and for those affected by Hurricane Melissa.

Keeping Jamaica in my heart as Hurricane Melissa gathers strength and continues to barrel straight towards them. Melissa will likely be catastrophic and Jamaica will need our help once the storm has passed.

Space Budgies commish 🚀

BudgieTober Day 16 - Shield (feat. FFXVI Clive Rosfield) I seem to have a lot of fire budgies on this list. 🔥 Even as a budgie, Clive Budgiefield stands at the ready to protect his brother as the First Shield of the Phoenix. #budgietober #finalfantasy #inktober #FFXVI #Clive #Ifrit

BudgieTober Day 24 - Camera (feat. FFXV Prompto taking a selfie with Noctis at Wiz's Chocobo Ranch) Celebrating Prompto's birthday a few minutes early! How are they taking a selfie? Let me know in the comments below! #budgietober #finalfantasy #inktober #fanart #budgies #birbs #prompto #FFXV

BudgieTober Day 12 & 14 - Pirate and Rabbit (feat. FFXII Balthier and Fran). Balthier officially wins the award for Most Intricate Birb Harness. My gosh - love his character and design, but that vest. 🫠 RIP my brain and hand. #budgietober #inktober #finalfantasy #FFXII #birbs #fanart

BudgieTober Day 17 - Fox (feat. FFXV Carbuncle) Awww, I wanna pet the Carbudgie with little head scratches! #budgietober #inktober #finalfantasy #fanart #budgies #birbs #FFXV #Carbuncle #Noctis

BudgieTober Day 13 - Ash (feat. FFXII Lady Ashe perched on a budgie version of the Dawn Shard - her birthright and claim to the Throne of Dalmasca). #budgietober #inktober #finalfantasy #fanart #budgies #birbs #FFXII #Ashe

Here's BudgieTober Day 14 - Rabbit (feat. FFXII Fran). I really needed a night to kick back and just take my time with the budgies. Day 12 will get drawn in front of her, but I wanted to draw her fully first. #budgieTober #inktober #FinalFantasy #budgies #birbs #FFXII #Fran

Budgietober Day 15 - Night (feat. FFXV Noctis) Nothing beats napping in your childhood car and in the company of your best friends. I'll get to the other days, don't you worry! 😉 Even if it means drawing into November! #budgietober #finalfantasy #inktober #FFXV #noctis #budgies #birbs

Sneak peak at Budgietober Days 12 & 14, Pirate and Rabbit I didn't plan for the two to be separated in separate days or helping me catch up, but I'll take it! #budgietober #inktober #FFXII #budgies #birbs

BudgieTober Day 11 - Sake (feat. FFX Auron) Auron doesn't seem to mind much that he's a budgie. He's getting ready to enjoy some sake tonight under Zanarkand's stars! #BudgieTober #inktober2025 #budgie #birb #FFX #Auron #sake #guardian

BudgieTober Day 10 - Faith (feat. FFX Yuna) Even as a budgie, Summoner Yuna faithfully performs a sending for the lost and fallen, flying gracefully around her staff. #BudgieTober #inktober2025 #budgie #birb #FFX #Yuna #summoner

Moon raven 💫 #procreate #digitalart #fantasy

Taking a break from Budgietober today. 😉

BudgieTober Day 8 - Angel (feat. FFVII Sephiroth) Even as a budgie, I can still hear Sephiroth's theme music. 😆 Should we call him Budgieroth? #BudgieTober #inktober2025 #budgie #birb #Sephiroth #FFVII

BudgieTober - Day 7 - Sword (feat. Cloud Strife from FFVII). You know what's nice about the Buster Sword? It has just enough room for a little SOLDIER budgie! What's got Cloud so chill? #finalfantasy #FFVII #birb #budgie #budgietober #inktober2025 #CloudStrife #BusterSword

BudgieTober - Day 6 - Needle. Is it a mutated cactuar or a budgie who's molting? Either way, watch for the little needles! No doubt there's over 1,000! #finalfantasy #cactuar #birb #budgie #budgietober #inktober2025 #molting #1000needles

BudgieTober Day 5 - Canyon (feat. Red XIII) If budgies could howl, this would be it! "Canyon" is a reference to Cosmo Canyon where Red XIII (Nanaki) is from. He's totally got edge lord vibes. #finalfantasy #FFVII #budgietober #inktober #inktober2025 #birb #RedXIII #lion

Day 4 - Heaven (feat. FFVII: Remake Tifa training in Chadley's Simulator Room). "Heaven" was another play-on of Tifa's 7th Heaven bar in Sector 7. I gave her some protective footwear to match her gloves! #inktober #finalfantasy #FFVII #tifa #budgietober #birb #fanart

Day 3 - Avalanche (feat. Barret from FFVII perched on top of his daughter's head - Marlene) This took 6 hours to draw and color in Procreate. Man, what did I get myself into this month? 🤣 #finalfantasy #fanart #budgie #birb #barret #FFVII #inktober2025 #inktober #budgieTober

Day 2 - Flower Hmmm, did someone fall into my flower basket? This is Aerith from FFVII. I wanted to play off of when we meet her in the church. Budgie Aerith is clasping the handle with her talons, and her tail is helping her balance! #finalfantasy #inktober #budgietober #FFVII #budgie #Aerith

Day 1 - Pom Pom This a budgie moogle! Moogles are a common character in the Final Fantasy universe. They look like tiny white koalas with a big red nose, purple wings, and a large pom pom. Though in FFXII, they look more like rabbits! #finalfantay #budgie #birb #kupo #budgietober

Whenever I'm paralyzed by how large a task is, I write the next actionable step that would take less than 5 min. to do. Seeing how small the next step is can reduce the daunting dread of not knowing what to do. ✅

Get ready for BudgieTober everyone! It's my spin-off of Inktober except with 1,000% more budgies and FF victory fanfares! This list is not officially sponsored by either Inktober or Square Enix. See you tomorrow! #budgies #birbs #budgietober2025 #budgietober

One thing I find infuriating about social media is that we're told how bad it is for us yet it feels like an indispensable part of marketing your business. I don't want my content to feed into the madness.

So much of our joy feels tied to our goals that when they aren't met, it can feel like we're failures. Imagine instead looking back at your struggles, frustrations, and efforts and giving yourself a big “Well done!” ✨

The Willow's tree collection has officially launched! 10% of all sales will be donated to the EveryCat Health foundation in honor of my cat, Willow. Ends on tomorrow evening! Visit my website at www.lindseyluu.com and help bring joy and healing to our feline friends!
