Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

I had the absolute honour of drawing the art for a chapter of Civil hands, written by @crazyloststar and @chasingfigments You can find the full fic here! It's a great read, always love me some Prince Prompto <3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/58291684/chapters/148448470

I got to draw pre-scourge Ardyn for the Caelum Zine. It has been a long time in production - long enough that there's a few things that I would have done differently, but I am still very happy with the waterfall and that tree on the left, just above his head.

P'tchakha and her bestie Aerelia, ready to Bahamut's ass (or die trying) This drawing was my therapy for the absolute horror that is the final Coil of Bahamut synched. Everything hits like a truck. The most recent savage raids have nothing on this damn dragon.

My raid group is 4 miqo'te, 2 viera, 1 au'ra and a roegadyn. One day someone said it looked like the roe was taking all their lil animal buddies out for a walk, and oops my hand slipped

Don't draw in this style a lot, it was a fun change!

My page art for the @ffxvwanderlustzine. I got to draw some floating islands in Tennebrae which came with a compulsory Lunafreya. And a secret Ardyn, because I am me and I cannot help myself.

The chocobros about to head off on a wonderful adventure! I am sure nothing will go wrong Prompto is VERY happy to be out of that spooky cave and back in the sunlight. Done for the @FFXVWanderlust fanzine

Between me learning how to use CSP and my artist block, this drawing ended up taking what feels like an eternity to finish.

Made my new alt bun boi - he's just made it to Heavensward.

Even if others forget your name...  I will always remember. Happy birthday Ardyn! I tried something a little differentfrom how I usually do things, I think I like it! I am sad that I ran out of time with the background through. I was too busy futzing with the flowers.

Included the wips - you can see that the colours were all sorts of wrong the first time around, so I went back and just went full ham. Now it's nice and colourful and not extra gray anymore

[happy-orc]

I most assuredly got carried away trying to draw the sword Gilgamesh has in the Gladio DLC. It was fun but at some point stopped being accurate and started being me drawing swirly bits cause it's fun

Justa lil picture of Ardyn and Aera in the modern day, chillin in a forest. It was my piece for the @ffxvreversebang2024 and @ladykittenfair wrote a beautiful story to go with it! https://archiveofourown.org/works/54212782/chapters/137278342

[happy-orc]

I wanted to draw an angel and I wanted to draw Ardyn so I did just that. I wanted to draw a courruped angel and have the wings be all scourgy and what have you, but I thought this looked more fun in the end.

Last image for 2023. I really enjoyed that one brush that makes all the lil light balls hehehe My WoL P'tchakah casting some White Magic. I took some liberties with the gear cause I feel it needs more red.

[happy-orc]

This is the image that I made for the @tifazine of Tifa chillin in the Ancient Forest.

[happy-orc]

I was in a charity raffle and the person who git my slot asked for their WoL to be drawn. It was a lot of fun!
