I remember back in the day I had a bunch of art mutuals on old dA, stumbling into eachothers' work via groups or profile hopping. We'd encourage each other to draw and learn more Now that I'm trying to learn art again I do feel kinda lost and I wanted some sense of community (1/3)

30 min self study-- I always loved this Tataru doodle I did years ago and is kinda my current goal post for getting back to a certain quality, so I tried to redraw it without eyedropping colors I think the current varied color shadows are more interesting to look at, but hmm... #FFXIVArt #FF14イラスト

On the side, I've been working on a "non-XIV" version of Anju (her design's already pretty non-canon anyway) that I may use as promotional art! Making her more like an OC that I could use anywhere else, basically. #LapynneWIP #OC

y'know.... since i just rendered the head so far today i suppose i can share this WIP here!!! I like the upper half of the hair, very well defined volume but I can't seem to replicate well with the bottom half of the hair? Maybe it's bec it's wispy and layered...? #WIP #LapynneArt

Did a paintover of my old Pogianger art (this is the same one used in the official FFXIV Discord server!) :D #FFXIV #FF14 <- 2020 vs. 2026->

Good morning! Warm-up before I get back to work, doodling Anju's latest look #FFXIV #FF14イラスト I still think her short hair + pink outfit combo is still her permanent/canon look tho

For whatever reason, I woke up with my left should feeling absolutely trashed and my right elbow all funky 🥲 so I won't be getting progress done on comms today unfortunately I will however be finally doing Arcadion today😆 Finished latest MSQ patch last night, so I'm caught up!

🎊Happy to announce that I've fixed my website!🎊 I've got my pricing and TOS listed there now, and I've adjusted for different pricing working with me directly VS. on VGen! (1/2) #commissionsopen #commsopen #art #LapynneArt

Another semi-render #VGenComm done, thank you so much! owo I think I'm getting accustomed to this more painterly method? #kitsune #foxgirl #Vgen #ArtCommission #Skeb #LapynneArt

Skeb type comm WIP, I'm watching videos on Chinese color theory and it's really hard trying to break away from Western school of teaching I got so used to Also it's so vibes based, I need to train my intuition and mental library hard if I'm gonna get there hhh #WIP #LapynneArt

So I've had this amazing client who's supported me for YEARS now, and I've gotten to draw their WoL V'eleth a lot (both spicy and nonspicy) With their permission, I thought it'd be nice to see both my art and their WoL's design evolution! Thank you so so much, always!!!💖 ;v; #FFXIV #FF14 #WoL

So something interesting happened to my little aquarium bowl After I got some pennywort to help suck up all the nitrites and nitrates, some straggling duckweed got in??? And started multiplying??? Like idm but what the heck lol Also the bacopa is green again!! Hopefully I don’t jinx it

in other news.... the teal-colored Lapynne design is growing on me....... i know i was still using my OG pink one... but maybe i'm ready to make the switch!!!!

#VGenComm completed, thank you so much again! Had a super fun yet challenging time drawing the character all imposing~ (Fun fact, my favorite parts so far are the swords! I worked hard on those handles!) #FFXIV #FFXIVArt #FF14 #FF14Art #WoL #Commission #ArtCommission #VGen

tbh idk if you guys can even see the difference from WIP to WIP, but I got a lot of rendering done today hhh I locked in really hard all day so I'm gonna rest now! What's remaining is the sword on the left, the ponytail, and then the BG elements and some final tweaks! #LapynneArt #WIP #FF14 #FFXIV

also lil color experiment with lil anju although my usual style is very western-shading, i really admire the color usage of chinese artists and want to learn how to use colors like they do! #lapynneart #rkgk

Commission WIP!!!!!! my god there are some details you can only see when you're looking at it above 100% scale, maybe I should be more strategic in what to draw kek #WIP #LapynneArt #FFXIV #FF14 #FF14Art #FFXIVArt

I think trees kinda hate me, ngl. (The tree was pretty tall, so the flower fell hard) First a whole palm frond, now this!!!

fiance requested a doodle of his wol! #ffxiv #FF14イラスト #rkgk #LapynneArt

Details that'll probably be easily overlooked in the final piece, but it's a full render so I'm going all out on detail!!! (it's also gonna be semi-covered by a belt I need to draw on lol)

Never know when I wanna micro blog here or on the other site, but anyway My biggest issue working day to day now is sudden onsets of fatigue/lightheadedness. Usually it's from my blood sugar fluctuating, but sometimes it's vitamin D or iron deficiencies I think... or just being tired in general!

Progress today since I'm off on weekends! I actually spent my time mainly separating layers in groups than shading to make it easier to render everything later on >< #LapynneArt #WIP #FFXIV #FF14 #FF14Art #FFXIVArt #ArtCommission

aUAUAUUGH MY PLANT AQUARIUM IS SO COOOOKKEEDD I was thinking my plants are looking so sad and yellow still after 2 weeks, so I got them some aquatabs and it absolutely spiked the pH and hardness of the water and they look even worse than they did BEFORE the fertilizer;;;;

Meet The Artist! (2026 edition) Haven't done one of these in a long time- I've been drawing online even before 2016 and was most active on dA back then. I've got a lot to catch up on! More 🔗 and info to be added in the 🧵below!

'Scuse the blurry photo but I'm so glad I ended up not selling this thing! Still need to test if it works though... This was the tablet I worked very hard to earn and buy all by myself 6 years ago. As you see on the right, I was still working on FFXIV comms back then too haha

annndd today's WIP is mainly just the color flats ><;; was a bit busy today, so I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped Might take a break tomorrow tho, wrist is feeling a bit spent! #WIP #LapynneArt #FFXIV #FF14

Annnddd today's WIP! I'm setting down the base colors after having set down the lighting and shading the clouds. I think I need a reference for how I want this overcast scene to look, but I can't find one that fits my needs... #WIP #LapynneArt

Finished the lineart of this comm! I think I might do a grayscale version of the shading to get my lighting of the BG, FG, and character right before I do any base coloring...?

Comm WIP again!!! All these frills are hurting my wrist, I'm gonna go take a break lol FFXIV's outfits are always so detailed, but it's fun drawing my client's Miqote again! Trying to remember how I used to shade back then... #LapynneArt #WIP #FFXIV #FF14 #FF14Art #FFXIVArt #Miqote #Commission

Hatsune Miku and/or Super Sonico with cool techy headphones was a favorite genre of mine back in 2010s

idk smug miku for practice and new brush test #lapynneart #wip

Client gave me a really cool scenario and I think I kinda cooked with the thumbnail sketches. Already have an idea of how I want the colors and lighting to look, too!

Just some thoughts, lately tw: mentions of past s*icidal ideation/tendencies, loss and grief, getting old, change (1/2)

i think shark week is kicking my butt making me sleep 12 hours a day.... but anyway Anju's had long hair for a while now! The vibe is different when I doodle it but it looks cute #ffxiv #ff14

MAAAANNNN TEXT RP HITS DIFFERENTTTTT I MISSED THISSS Last time I did RP like this with other people was when I was like…. 14 on DeviantArt RP groups!!!! GOD I wanna join an RP group and make stories with other people I’m getting so much joy out of this Idk where people even text RP anymore tho….

Why tummy always hurt!!! If not lactose intolerance, then food poisoning!! Or acid reflux!! Or general IBS!!! Being a foodie is suffering with this gut!!!!!!!!!

Another doodle comm up! Spirit Blossom Ahri being all angy These doodle comms are super fun! ^^

Ya gurl really needs to make some sort of passive income shop uee The monetary grind has had me in a chokehold and it’s chipping away at my mood aaaa I can’t dial back either of my freelancing jobs, because one’s not enough without the other orz I’m hoping to touch grass soon to refresh tho

Forgot to post these, but thank you so much to those who helped me out last month!! The doodles also came out very cutely ^^ Tbh enjoyed making these so much, I might just leave them open permanently for anyone who may want a quick doodle! If you're interested, my Ko-Fi's in the quote post below!

Opening some limited emergency c0mm slots! This month has been pretty rough and I might not make my funds last till payday, so this would really really help me out. My C0mmissions are open on Ko-fi! 10 USD for 1 silly doodle ko-fi.com/lapynne/comm...

Look what arrived in the mail!!! I also got the sticker and magnet, I’m so happy~ Thank you again to @acapellamedia.bsky.social for having me for the merch art!!

With LCD monitors I probably don’t have to worry about screen burn, but I discovered someone replicated the After Dark screensavers on a site and it’s pretty cool having them on :)

Otsulappy! Was interesting having my first simulcast experience, I'll mull over how I felt about it this time. We got quite a bit of work done! Will continue this one offline 🙏

🔴LIVE SIMULCASTING NOW🟣 Working on a comm with permission! Feel free to watch on either platform you prefer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmIo... www.twitch.tv/lapynneart

Happy New Year everyone! Unfortunately I didn't get to draw a lot this past year (or since 2022 really,) but I'm aiming to get back to my roots and improve on my art again in 2026! I hadn't shared this on BSky yet, but here's an older illustration I made for a local #FFXIV zine, ft. my Au Ra Anju!

Oh naur client tagged my main acc to credit their NSFW comm instead of my R18 acc on the other site 👁️👄👁️ I mean it’s ok tho!!!

Interesting development, I recovered my old Twitch account by contacting Authy! However, I can't actually "change my number" and it's locked to... whatever old account I can't find? I'm seeing so many of my old followed channels, it's really heartening to see (1/2)
