Coming full circle on my artistic journey by drawing my bunsona in the old Sonic Adventure style. I think 11 year old me would be absolutely jazzed 😂

❄️☃️Good tidings for a cozy, dreamy winter this year from Lucy's Legion! ☃️❄️

Probably the last of the seasonal pictures for the Vast group before the end of the campaign, and I quite like this one 🥹 Everyone all together, comfy, chatting, and having fun!

It has been a genuine delight to make all these - struggles included in that process - and to see in real time how much I've improved in terms of colors, composition, and even (gasp) BACKGROUNDS!!!

I don't have much else to say, I'm just really happy to share this and I love my D&D group hehehe 💙

[doodlingcrayon]

oh baby, it's comin' along...! ☃️almost done with the last seasonal picture of the Vast group, and the first illustration of 2025! (Does it count if I started it in December of last year, though? Hmm 🤔)

Another year, another art summary, this year being 2024! This is my fourth year doing this and it's kind of been a nice practice. I try to pick a favorite piece from around each month, but if they don't line up that way, I just pick my favorite twelve in general. It's been a nice way to look back and really appreciate the stuff I've created throughout the year - big pieces, small sketches, and jokes that still make me laugh.

This year I finally made a proper MerMay picture, I did an entire Outfit August Challenge, finished Inktober from 4 years ago, redrew one of my favorite Lima pictures from just as long ago... and so much more.

This was also my first year of streaming! Which is! kind'a crazy! Not something I ever thought I'd actually get into, but it has been a lot of fun. It definitely took time away from certain projects, but also helped me focus on others. So that's neat in its own way!

So here's to more artistic growth, more self-indulgence, and more fun in the coming new year! 🥂🎨

Necromancer Build 💀💚

[doodlingcrayon]

Do you find that the necromancer subclass works with the dagger and orb combo? I wanted to try Necromancer during my playthrough but from what I remember it seemed very staff focused so I stuck to the spellblade.

It can definitely work!! At first I was staff-focused because I needed to keep my distance, but about halfway through the game I was able to comfortably do 50/50 staff and orb, depending on the arena or just how I wanted to play that day. By the end of the game, I actually ended up using my orb more often than not! :D

I'm not a heavy min-maxer, but a few things ended up helping my build so I could dart in and out of danger, hit hard, and basically solo heal myself if needed (a zippy, necromantic glass cannon, if you will):

The rune with a passive Necrotic buff to damage

Necrotic Orb that I kept upgraded and enchanted for even more Necrotic damage than its baseline gave

Armor that gave me HP back on Arcane Bomb burst

Spirit Bomb spell to siphon HP

Crypt's Herald Ult to siphon HP + absurd damage

Optionally: Partied with Davrin and Lucanis who let me double combo Weakened and Sundered, respectively, so I had massive burst damage fresh into a fight (Lucanis also had weapon that made enemies weak to Necrotic LMAO)

I definitely did a lot of pinballing around fights, but that was fun for me so it worked! (^_^)

Season’s Greasons From Lucy’s Legion! ❄️☃️

[doodlingcrayon]

Anti Art Style Challenge COMPLETE! 💫 They turned my boy into an anime and then stole his saturation 🥺

I jokingly griped a lot, but this was actually really fun to step outside of my comfort zone, tap into old tricks, and try out a few new ones (^_>^) I had to stick to the parameters of Sketchy Lines, Desaturated Colors, and Hard Shapes. Maybe not a perfect execution, but I did my best!

And thank you guys again for donating to HRS to unlock this goal! 🙏 It was very fun, but even more so knowing I was doing it because you guys are so dang kind 🐰💕

[doodlingcrayon]

My heart is so warm and full!!! Our goal was $100 and we raised $225!!!! 🥺🙏 Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, donations, and pleasant company!!!! You guys are the best 🐰💕

Tomorrow's my birthday! 🎂 To celebrate, I'll be doing a small fundraiser stream for House Rabbit Society, where I'll be playing bunny-themed games all day. It's my first fundraiser ever, so our goal is $100 with some rewards and fun activities for each milestone met (and some stretch goal possibilities too). The upcoming holiday season means lots of rabbits will be bought as "gifts" and then surrendered or abandoned shortly after. It's not much, but I want to try to help alleviate the pressure on shelters across the U.S. in what small way I can! 🐰💕

But honestly, if you just wanna stop by and say hi, check out some cute games, that's great too! 💝

I'll be live starting 11:00 AM EST until 4:00 PM EST on 12/7!

If you do want to donate, always make sure you're taking care of yourself first and foremost, especially with the holidays coming up! 🫵 Otherwise, have a great weekend!
