is there anything quite like the extremely specific comfort of listening to your high school era favorite band

A bit belated, but happy new year! May we all put our attention and energy where WE want them to go. For all of last year's struggles, I managed to create things and push myself as an artist, and that's what I want to carry forward. Here's to realizing more ideas and watching ourselves grow.

Last year I had the awesome honor of designing these looks for the Mighty Nein attending Fjord and Jester’s wedding! It was such a blast getting to draw these characters that I’ve loved for years now — and getting to play with so many shades of pink!! 🌸💕

Hey artists! What does your 2025 growth look like? Overall mine is probably even more dramatic than this, but drawing the same character just five months apart was such a visible difference it really shocked me! January to December would be an even bigger gap 👀

Summary time! There were some months where I focused more on merch, and others where I did more sketches or had multiple pieces running that I finished in another month - but I made art, constantly, all year. More than I ever have. I feel like I’ve grown a lot, and I can’t wait to keep going ✨

okay I'm gonna say my streams are on hiatus until I get used to the new job, I'm just gonna be too sleepy for a while to manage them after work. I do really enjoy streaming though and hopefully I can get back to it soon! I'll try to nail down kofi and stream scheduling once things settle!

Gonna post a bloody sketch, but I’ve decided I won’t be censoring it as I don’t want it to be hidden. I don’t often draw bloody art, but I’ll post “cw: blood” when I do so you can block that if you don’t want to see it.

hey who wants some sad Yvaine art

I’m gonna close my comms at the start of January just so I can clear my current queue, so if you want anything now is the time to order!! I don’t wanna have a giant backlog WHILE adjusting to a new job so I wanna make sure it doesn’t get too bloated rn, and I may scale back slots when it reopens

GOAL MET??? Honestly I never expected to see this kind of support, and sincerely - thank you to every single person who shared or gave any money. It’s been hard lately, and I couldn’t have managed without the kindness other people have shown me. I don’t feel like anything I can say is enough.

Very very low on time to get the rest of this!! I’m not going to get paid until after everything is due and I’ve run any and all grace periods to their limit. Thank you for any possible shares!

A big piece of advice for the incoming folks getting used to Bluesky: Likes don't do anything really. I mean, they give a little shot of serotonin. If you want to actually spread something, sharing is the way to do that. So share others and reshare your own stuff. There's zero reason not to.

Reminder that I’m open for commissions on VGen! Should be a pretty quick turnaround on most, now that I’m through retail holiday hell lmao #vgen #vgencommissions vgen.co/pocketflowers

the emperor 👑 #art #oc

Aryses game was SO GOOD and he got pushed to dump all his secrets and I could finally share his real art with the party aaaaAAAAAHHHH

Lyn and I are runnin' a sale on our digital book to ring in the new year! You can get our 180+ book full of OC self-indulgence for only $9.90! ✨ 🎇 itch.io/s/177466/new...

I have four days to get the rest!! I’m still shocked to be so far, there’s only a little left to go!

somehow it’s almost hit 75%!? Just a little more to go, less than $400! I just have until the end of the month to get this together!!

For all the new artists joining Bluesky: 🎨 You don't have to censor words such as commission, Patreon or Ko-Fi. 🎨 You can share links and your post will not be de-boosted. 🎨 You can take time away from Bluesky and come back whenever you feel like, there's no algorithm to punish you!

hello #FFXIV bluesky ;w; i do art AND merch >O< !

lots of new followers!! hellooooo, welcome to bsky if you’re new, welcome to my corner either way 💖💖

Holy shit you guys. Holy shit. I don’t check things for a bit because I’m working and you’ve got me halfway to my goal?? I’m gonna cry. Holy shit. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means.

I only have a week to make the rest of this and I don’t have anything, and while my orientation starts soon it will take away from current work time and I won’t get paid for several weeks. I know it’s a bad time with the holidays but I’d still appreciate any help spreading the word! Rent is due!

a babey, untagged Yvaine exclusively for the late night crowd a little pixelly because I resized him and a very early draft at figuring out how to chibi but I think he’s cute ;;

I was actually thinking about this earlier - haven’t played it yet but like…was definitely thinking about how ai wasn’t nearly at the level of what it is now at the beginning of a development cycle of a game that came out months ago. honestly it was probably before we were even talking about theft.

so I’ve done this all but one day since posting this!! even ten minutes at a time is enough to make progress and it’s been fun to explore different things than I’d normally draw, or take the excuse to work on sketches I was struggling with. It’s helping me test new things and it works really well!

thinking about how I took out half a discord call with a single panel of saiyuki gaiden yesterday and feeling somewhere between accomplished and upset because it worked on me too

I’ve fallen behind on kofi again and I didn’t even manage to get the December NPC up yet (aaaahhhh) so I wanna restructure my posting plans again BUT I really wanna be able to focus on art again! I’ve been working on a lot but I feel like I haven’t had the chance to give it the attention I want to

f-finally accepted a part time job offer it doesn’t help with any of my immediate bills since I probably won’t start until next month but god I hope it helps make things more manageable ;;

OKAY I LOCKED IN so here it is!! Queer Artists to Commission 🫶🏻🩷 there's still plenty of space, so lmk if you'd like to be added! 🩷 go.bsky.app/PuiBo1z

happy winter solstice! 🌲🕯️🌨️✨ let's have an #artshare ! ❄️ show us your fave wintry / festive artworks! ❄️ repost for visibility! ❄️ (optional) tag some friends! 🔄️ repost for visibility & hype up other artists 🚫 no AI / NFTs; tag NSFW 💬 alt text encouraged

decided to look at all my various Esseks to see how many I have and yeah it’s a lot 😂 never enough though!! but I definitely have more Stuff of him than any other individual character so there’s that

get friends that make you laugh so hard you need your asthma inhaler also be willing to laugh at absolutely stupid things it’s great

It’s my birthday! ✨ It would mean the world to me if you shared my art today! 🥰

anyway I realized I only ever talk about art and work but I’ve been playing dawntrail and having the best time?? I love that msq so far is just light and funny and honestly the humor is nice after the weight of endwalker. I’ve laughed out loud so many times already and I just wanna keep playing

Thank you so much!! I was really nervous about jumping back into commissions, but everyone has made me feel absolutely welcomed and appreciated in the commission community. It means so much to be trusted with your characters, and here’s to MANY more next year! #2025VGenTimelapse

I’m sorry to keep spamming this, but I’ve only managed to raise $10 and bills are coming up FAST. I’m genuinely worried about keeping my phone on and covering rent.

Kinda wanna do an art summary since for once I’ve done enough work for one, does anyone have a nice template? don’t think I have the energy to make one

vgen did a little summary and it really puts some things into perspective - 26 completed comms since July, when I was afraid I wouldn’t get any work at all 🥺 it’s still little by little but I’m so so so grateful to see people enjoying what I make!! thank you for trusting me with your babies 💖

no fancy screenshots here but I gave Rhal a new DNC glam and honestly I need to make him everyone else’s problem more often now that I’m playing again

I was able to order a car battery thanks to a commission but I still need help with everything else. Thank you!
