Last year EU changed wolf protection status from ‘strictly protected' to ‘protected'. In Finland, this led to the worst prepared law in decades being passed to allow hunting of wolves and discuss hunting bears and lynxes as well. 2,8% of Finland's wolves were killed during the first day.

Thinking of doing some League of Legends streams this year as I try to climb from Bronze to Platinum. Naturally, that means I need an avatar, so here is a WIP:

A little comic about my dad.

And finally, the last portrait of Azar, the Season of summer. The description also had "redhead" as a defining aspect of him. With Azar we went quite much back and forth with his outfit, as I did not want it to be a typical "summery" outfit due to the militant nature of him as a character.

It is the character portrait time! This time we will start from Shai, the Season of autumn. On the right you will see the description I gave for @faetiainen.bsky.social and on the left you will see what she came up with. Tomorrow you will get Ze'ev, the Season of winter!

Artist hyperfocus summarized in two pictures.

PART 3 of my #artfight attacks!

Some #Artfight attacks I am quite satisfied with this year so far! Characters belong to Manakete (Artfight nick), Vitlok (AF again), @minttuperuna.bsky.social and @faetiainen.bsky.social ! #TeamCrystals

I finished it! This tarot themed print will make it's debut at Ropecon this year! Come say hi and get your own! #thelegendofzelda #rauru #ganon #totk

When the well known street rat hooligan is made all warm and fuzzy by kisses. Literally, given they are a fire genasi. My blood domain cleric Ember and his (deceased) friend back when moon was not broken and everything was nice.

Some of the artwork I made for my Explorer's pack illustrated guide ( ko-fi.com/s/ca985aa32a ) Tinderbox was fascinating to illustrate since flint and fire steel used to look very different in medieval times, but I opted for modern version for clarity.

Theme: #MiniatureGarden Here's a little terrarium. I should get one for myself. It's about the only kind of plant I can get with my cats. #pixel_dailies #pixelart @pixeldailies.bsky.social

Hello! As a player I often have trouble visualizing and remembering what is in my bag when playing #dnd5e, so I made illustrations of the items included in Explorer's Pack. You can find it at my ko-fi, if you are having similar issues in your games! ko-fi.com/s/ca985aa32a

Sunday, what a wonderful day to play a 5-minute little experience to make you contemplate existence and tradition. ylvanaar.itch.io/hunger #indiegames

Since the campaign has started, the doodles have started as well! Izar and his party. We got one additional player after the party shot was finished, I'm working on a whole comic page specifically about Izar and Elena's conversation. 🌸 #dnd #oc #party

I have been trying to devote more time to studies recently, but hmm. Most of them are not exactly SFW so I am not sure where I should post them, other than my Patreon. You can have the more SFW studies here though.

It has a draft site on itchio now. This time I don't think I'll publish it until next spring so you don't get to view the early stages of development live, but I'm also thinking... Some sort of.. restricted Early Access? Maybe? For Beta readers?

My most recent commission for @sinisteri.bsky.social ! I have not gotten to paint dragonborn before so this was s wonderful opportunity. Had to learn a lot while painting, how to texture scales and how to pain metal for one, but I am quite happy with the outcome!

@ ARTISTS!!! (PLEASE REPOST FOR AWARENESS) if you are unable to use glaze or nightshade for whatever reason, please protect your art by using art shield. it's a free service that takes minutes, and can run on mobile as it is browser based! artshield.io#services

Oh, I didn't post this here? Uh, Said The Stars, the text-based game I have worked on for past three years, is done. It will receive a handful of editorial updates for typos, thought flaws and general ease of reading, but I made a game. Well. Interactive Fiction. ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-stars

Oh, one more side story. I'm bringing these back this year, but fully do not expect to update more than once per month; this constitutes as March's update, where the previous constituted as February's. They are close to each other, but that's sometimes life. tapas.io/episode/3457...

I’ve been using this mentality. It’s also easier to bring people to your side when you’re welcoming those trying their best and not demand perfection. Sometimes you can and should be strict with your choices (often it does take effort/discomfort), but if you can’t, any harm reduction still helps.

This little asshole was designed by @faetiainen.bsky.social and drawing them in the comic is always a mixture of emotions. Such as "I think I love/hate drawing tails", "how do your horns work" and "this scene will be rainy so I won't have to draw freckles for you".

Now would be the perfect time to go read this if you like to binge stuff! It is such a great story if you are crawing for dystopia vibes with romance and magic!

Said The Stars has its SECOND TO LAST UPDATE out. I repeat: the next update, wrapping up the epilogue, will be the last. I rephrase: I have (nearly) finished a thing! ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-sta... #itchio

Today in DnD, which my fiancé @ylvanaar.bsky.social runs for me and bunch of friends... DM: *has my character shot through both wrists, collared and put in a cage by some Evil Dudes* Me: "Oh my god, my girlfriend really loves me. 🥰 " *continues to smile giddily for the next half an hour*

The dragon’s favorite treasure #ocs

I have seen a lot of people make this kind of art of their DnD parties and had to jump in and make one of my new party! First pair of eyes is my rogue Kalmojuuri. <3

Beyond Journey's End.

I FINISHED IT. Ghilan'nain boss battle was nothing compared to having to paint her helmet, but it is done! Prints coming to sale in my ko-fi.com/faetiainen today! #lucanis #veilguard #dragonage

Happy (belated) year of the snake! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1683...

This year I vow to do my best to finally move out from sites like Instagram and TikTok that have mainly become sites to spread propaganda. I have never had big following anywhere, so it is not like the change is dramatic, but it still stings to have to start from scrap over and over again...

OC art share! Thank you for the tag! I am starting a new DnD campaign this week and made some new art for her to join the spirit of #elfbuary as well. I am too shy to tag, but I would love to see your OCs!

Recently I have been painting so much from reference and learning lighting and shading portraits and made a portrait in 2h with no reference at all. It does seem like some lessons do sink in when you take your time to learn them.

It is a Monday and Mondays often require copious amounts of coffee. I made a design to go with the Monday mood: www.redbubble.com/studio/promo...

I think flu is an important life lesson everyone needs a reminder of now and then. About importance of health, fragility of life... and how much it sucks to not be able to breathe through your nose. I resent everyone who can do it atm and you guys better appreciate the heck out of it.

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Suomalaisille! Jos haluat juhlistaa päivää samoin kuten minä, kirjoitin itsenäisyyspäivästä ja homoista blogissani: faetiainen.blogspot.com/2024/12/homo...

It was a good year, overall. I even used more colours than usual! #2024wrapped #yearinart #digitalart

I REMEMBER. I assure you that behind my nonchalant expression I was going: "Oh, yes, I knew it. Her type is 'heartbreak'."

QRP with your skull art! I feel like this art train was made for me ☠️

I wanted to try my hand at making CSP brushes, so I made some chocolates brushes for the holidays! Because, let's be honest, this is what I look forward to each year. Selling the set for just 50 cents, in case anyone would be interested in them. <3 ko-fi.com/s/cec7005d1d

In the spirit of Christmas and Christmas calenders, I figured I'm going to make a whole thread of characters I love as a little treat for myself. So day 1 - Vi from Arcane. A well-written character with an amazing story arc, and one who also is important and meaningful to me. A Narrative 🧵

We all know who the true hero of #Veilguard is. Assan, of course.

I just finished my illustration for my this year's holiday cards and decided, hey, why not upload it to my RedBubble as well and. Look. How. Cute. I can't handle. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1666...

It is getting cold, so here is an Astarion to keep you warm. #astarion #BG3 #baldur'sgate3

To celebrate Black Friday, Nox Dies will be available as Pay What You Want until December starts! ylvanaar.itch.io/nox-dies #gamedev #indie #horror

At this rate I will need to reiterate that I am not an animator, I just dabble (but I have an idea to put on my Youtube channel, or rather, a series of ideas, so this is what must be done in preparations). #animation #itraven #clipstudiopaint #comic
