tried to make modbeast fflannidans today to smooth my brain out after therapy
reasons why i love color theory+the method i do: this is the “green” color for the foliage, lol. it makes me feel like a wizard heh
aanddddd i did some sketching for a big commission im going to be working on for a little while of @emmfairy.bsky.social ‘s freya! { #finsketches #dndpc #wip }
quick woodcock scribbles. references from my big ole image folder full of beepers { #finsketches #PEENT }
another artfight attack, this time for @melittosphex.bsky.social of astella, firstborn of zhudun. ive always loved her concept and the gnarly impending transformation :) { #finart #artfight #af2026 #dndpc }

my new designs for ota are hereeee AAAAAAA { #merch #finart #ffxiv #curseofstrahd }
doing artfight to make myself take art ez between con art! these are my first four pieces, unfortunately with otakon crunch happening i have to mostly stick to revenges haha. octavian (3rd) is @dandyvampyr.bsky.social ‘s! artfight.net/~Croutean_ { #finart #artfight #af2026 #dndpc }
send thoughts and prayers to our printer hes going through so much in this crunch time before ota and if it acts up i will be on the news
two of the quick sketch comms i did earlier this year, first for @blueabxolotl.bsky.social and second for @yarrow-leaf.bsky.social !
one half of a matching yuristrahd charm design ill have at ota, i repurposed the ACen stamp rally reward from last year for strahd’s half :) and whipped this up rq to match to add to my original work numbers { #curseofstrahd #finart #finocs #dndpc }
obligatory kippy update hes off his pain meds and doing amazing. and since i have to carry him up and down the stairs he gets humbling selfie mode photos on the reg
he is doing better even now that hes off his pain meds !!!!! i am doing worse. but that was in the disclaimer and i know it will be temporary
the vet wasnt worried thankfully and pain meds are gonna treat it but you know. what awesome timing! for now i will be carrying him up and down the stairs and also back home when he gets tired on walks. everyone please send kippy and me good wishes for our concurrent healing journeys HAHAHAH
starting treatment for ptsd tomorrow. have been gearing up for it for basically the last month (really awesome stuff btw ☠️). and then of course my sweet baby son boy starts crying out in pain the weekend before. this weirdly has knocked my brain out of anxiety mode which i guess is good???
supplemental: i want to start adding my moodboards to stuff and the whole reference discussion happening right now has only reinforced that, so. here you go! featuring art by the commissioner of the characters (top left, middle right) a still from “night watch” i was sent to reference (middle left),
recently finished commission for @dilfsinlove.bsky.social of their PC Silvi with Strahd ! { #curseofstrahd #finart #comms #strahdvonzarovich #dnd }
Wow this could be bait but it’s impressive how badly these people can’t do anything on their own
im sorry for the radio silence, health stuff has been whacky and its been hard getting back on track… uriels totally normal not cursed bikini armor from the first time we went to krezk, drawn in october (? i think) { #finsketches #uriellarethian #curseofstrahd #finocs #characterdesign }
a few weeks ago i sketched ocs in the style of the last few games ive played. the whiplash is funny lol #finsketches #finocs #fallonfflannidan #finnfflannidan #uriellarethian
urghhh it feels like recovering has been so slow but i did doodle this a little while ago… human!strahd pre curse and uriel from our sillay time traveling shenanigans
weeee finished iwtv so i sketched them real fast… still figuring them out abchshdh { #finsketches #fanart #iwtv }
this has been a “its ok if the most you can do is survive” kinda year
