I haven't been active a whole lot this year as life has been lifing at me pretty hard. The seasonal changes around the end of august pushed me over into some nasty mental health stuff, but I have been seeing the doctor regularly about it. I'm just taking things slowly for now. Getting better.

Oof, little bit late this year but I managed something! Hope you had a lovely night, whatever you happen to celebrate at this time of year! #art #AzullaArt #NiGHTSIntoDreams

I remember in the late '90s being told 'never give out your identity on the internet' because of a myriad of bad things that we were told could happen. Naturally I'm not about to give my ID or anything else to random 3rd parties because why should I trust them with it.

Sure, brain. It's roasting, so NOW you want me to draw. *lol* #art #AzullaArt

It's been a couple years since I last saw them, but it seems the bats are back around my area. Been watching them zip up and down the street from my window as they hunt moths and other bugs under the streetlights. So neat. :D

This beautiful piece of street art on the Broomielaw underneath the Central Station viaduct in Glasgow is one of the street swallows created by artist Wilma van der Meyden. Cont./ #glasgow #streetart #glasgowstreetart #ceramics #broomielaw

Speaking of old art, I was looking through some files and found THIS. I have no idea where the original went to continue on it. Might have been lost to a flood or something. Honestly don't know. :( I might have to see if I can motivate myself to redo it digitally at some point. #Art #AzullaArt

Found an old sketch and decided to ink and colour it. Then decided to go over it digitally because I need more practice using my tablet. I finally learned how to rotate the canvas with touch strips *lol* Urban nature loving reptile/iguana/alligator skulled thingamibob. :D #art #AzullaArt

Today's walk in the park was filled with the sounds of birds screaming and fighting one another. I saw so many bird brawls. XD; Tweets of Rage.

It's been beautiful lately so I took a little trip over to Helensburgh with a friend to enjoy it. We saw a ship from the naval base as we sat by the beach, collected some neat sea glass ( and a bit of sea pottery ), and then had some custard cream flavour ice cream, which was delicious. :D

Another little Sonic on another bit of scrap. The ink bled a fair bit on this one. Tried to cover some of it up with thicker lines but I think that made it worse. Oh well! What is he so shocked about? I'm not sure. I just wanted to draw a cartoony overreaction! #Art #AzullaArt #SonicTheHedgehog

Anyway since someone who was new asked, here's my fantasy webcomic, Fallenmist Phoenix. It's on a long break currently but I'm hoping to get back to it soon, though for now there's a whole bunch of pages to read! fallenmistphoenix.co.uk #feniikart #fallenmistphoenix

I haven't done any art in a while so I'm getting rusty *lol* Here's a quick little Sonic I did on some scrap card as practice. #AzullaArt #Art #SonicTheHedgehog

Felt a little nostalgic earlier and booted up SA2, but forgot to set my refresh rate to 60hz beforehand. Hilarity ensued. XD; Also after I fixed that, I had a whole thing where Sonic was being haunted by a tram hovering over his head for half of City Escape hahaha.

I've finally gotten around to giving Monster Hunter World a go, and instead of hunting said monsters I've spent most of my time so far just wandering about looking at things. XD The first area is giving me such Jungle PSO vibes. I love it.

Well we got flooded :'D It's not as bad as it could have been, and it's mostly confined to two rooms and a cupboard, but it sucks all the same. Still trying to get through to council services and keep getting cut off when we finally get through the queue, so that's a load of funsies.

Right so I don't like to talk about the shit going on in the real world because fucking hell, just fucking hell, but sometimes it's necessary to reiterate: Trans rights are human rights, trans women are women, trans men are men, fuck racism, fuck homo/biphobia, and if you disagree go to hell.

I got my switch in 2017, and in all that time I've only used the joy con pair that came with it, somehow without issue. Then switch 2 gets revealed, and on that same day my left joy con went MY WORK IS NOW DONE and has decided to just die a drifty death. I can't even be mad about it. XD

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope 2025 has lots of good things in store for you!

It's time for that almost yearly tradition of mine to do a little drawing of Christmas NiGHTS. This is on a tiny, postcard-sized piece of card so I couldn't fit too much detail in there, but it was fun! #art #AzullaArt #NiGHTSintoDreams

Been playing a lot of Monster Hunter Rise with my friends lately and felt like doing a little quick doodle of this ludicrous kitten. #Art #AzullaArt #MonsterHunter #Magnamalo

Aw, the comic shop that I've went to since I was a kid in the 90's closed down yesterday. Went down for a last look around and had a short chat with the owner. Turns out he's a Sonic the Comic fan and showed me his Super Sonic tattoo on his arm. XD I'm gonna miss the place.

Yesterday was a rare Nice Day around these parts, so I decided to spend it in the park and fruit orchard. I got to see baby ducks :D

Well, I no longer have a job. Time to see what's next, I guess. Not upset about it, though. Place was kinda falling apart at the seams. *lol*

A doodle of BIG FISH, one of my current mains on PSO. My friends keep calling him a Garanz. So mean. XD ...Why did I decide to try and draw a robot *lol* #art #AzullaArt #PhantasyStarOnline #PSOBB

Nooooo these things are why I hate the Mines XD;

I felt inspired, so have a quick doodle. #art #AzullaArt #PSOBB #PhantasyStarOnline

It's been actual decades since I first played PSO, but I still get that giddy little 'Yay! :D' feeling when a red item drops. ( It's like my fifth Blade Dance but I'm not letting that spoil the moment *lol* )

Still going through my PSOBB kick. Taking my time going through the modes instead of rushing to Ultimate, and just enjoying the journey at my own pace. I got my first red item! It was a Blade Dance.

Since I feel like I've been kicked in the shin after my fall, I decided to give that random old comic page a lick of colour over the past few nights to pass the time/ignore the pain. Old art is old and I'm out of practice, but it was fun! Still no idea what happened to the other pages. XD;

My leg is hurting a bit less today! I can actually bend it more or less normally again. Hopefully no more walking up and down stairs hobbling like a zombie now. XD The bruising is really coming out now the swelling is going down oh no. *lol*

Oof, back home. Had a fun meeting at work basically talking about how one of their biggest clients went into administration and about 6 months worth of future work has evaporated because of it. Ergh. Also my leg still really hurts but whatever.

Tripped on my way into work today and now have two bruised palms and one very bruised knee that took the brunt of it. Ow. This one's gonna hurt for a while. ;_;

Playing PSOBB is just relaxing. Great for destressing after a rough work week. I've only been playing solo so far but that's what I'm used to so it's fine. Ran into Hard Mode at lv22 for a laugh. Getting decked by Rappies never stops being funny to me. XD *very casual player. Not efficient at all*

Found this old, unfinished page of what was going to be a character introduction comic for my dudes. This was page 4 or 5 if I recall but I haven't found the rest. It's from early 2019, and it shows! ...Alt text for comic pages is hard with the character limit. I tried!

Went to the comic shop in town to have a look around, maybe get a little present for myself. Got like four steps in the door and the PSO character creation theme started playing on the radio. I said to the guy at the desk someone must be a Phantasy Star Online fan there and he just laughed. XD;

Birthday yesterday was fun despite the weather ruining our plans. Went round to friends' instead and we ordered pizza and had a game night. :D They both tried to get me a shiny Spinarak in pokemon but the game wasn't having it. Appreciate it all the same. XD

It's my birthday today and I was going to go to town for birthday boba, but the weather is atrocious. Gales and rain. Aw.

Decided to finally try a PSOBB private server, and giving Ephinea a go. Was a bit fiddly getting it to run at first, but seems to work pretty well, now. :D

Oh no I just found I could play Popils on the internet archive site. My favourite Game Gear game! There goes my afternoon I guess. XD

Today was the most obnoxious of fridays at work. Mostly because I had an awful headache and the machine across from me was emitting a constant high-pitched squeal all day long. Noises don't normally bother me but oh my god the rage I felt. *lol* But it's over now and I have next week off so hazzah!

I saw some clusters of snowdrops in bloom when I walked home through the park. Also tips of daffodil shoots poking out of the soil. Spring is getting closer. :D

It's finally the weekend and I've managed to pick up the lurg going round work. Hazzah. I am rather displeased but oh well.

Well 2024 has started with me breaking my favourite mug, so I'm off to a great start. ;_;

It's just turned midnight here in Scotland, so Happy New Year! Hoping 2024 is a good one for everybody!

A little drawing I did of Christmas NiGHTS that I didn't get finished til a few moments ago. I wish I could have got a better photo but it's already dark out so the lighting in here is crap. XD; Enjoy! #art #NiGHTSIntoDreams

Happy holidays to everybody who does a thing at this time of year! And for everyone else, I hope you have a lovely day all the same!

Doodled this pic of Metal Sonic whilst my friends and I were having Very Serious Discussions about D&D, Final Fantasy and bands we liked in the early 2000s. I used an entire gel pen on this and didn't get home til after 7am. XD; #art #SonicTheHedgehog

It's the last day of work before I get my christmas break, and I managed to launch an empty cardboard box, corner first, into MY EYE. How I don't have a black eye or really any sort of injury is frankly incredible. But I'll take it. *lol*
