finished stormblood!! yaay! on to the post-patch content. :)

playing StB for a second time, I enjoyed it a lot more compared to the first time. weird pacing aside, it's a good expansion.

now hopefully i can finish the post-patch content before dawntrail drops and quietly slip, for the first time, into shadowbringers.

we doing things! in this house! angsty things! silly things! things!

#c: nai naalfa #my doodles #shitting my pants about the prospect of cleaning the rough sketches. but ah. what will you do about it. #anyway. one more big panel. and maybe i'll sketch out that first panel with more detail. and then-- then-- #*stumbles. passes out*

[sheeshiki]

if i had a nickel for every time a wol of mine went through a sudden hairchange after the vault, i'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it has happened twice.

#c: nai naalfa #sheeshi plays ffxiv #oc: *goes through trauma* #me: let's give you a new haircut and outfit. as a treat. :)

[sheeshiki]

one day i will finish this comic, if school stops KICKING MY ASS FOR ONE FRICKING MINUTE!!

#c: nai naalfa #my doodles #honestly i have no excuse LMAO. i'm just... a very big... procrestinator......... i start something and i have much difficulty seeing it #through. #and between trying not to die in college and personal stuff i just have so little motivation to sit down and draw #Or rather: i have so many idea's but i'm kinda '?????' about what i wanna do first so i sit there and do nothing and just scream inside #edit: you know sometimes i wonder whether or not i have adhd. or add. or whatever. #idk i feel silly because i don't wanna like. act all 'ooooooh i have this because TikTok/twt/Tumblr told me so' #but a lot of the adhd memes are like. too relatable at times. they hit a little bit too hard home. is that normal? lmao #and all my friends have diagnosed autism and/or adhd #so....????????? #feel too silly and hesitant to self-diagnose. so i will just Sit Here and Know That Something Is Wrong With Me but let it be a surprise #like a kinder surprise!!

i have to share progress of this to keep myself dedicated to finishing this JFLDKSJFDLKSFJDSF. had this comic idea for LITERAL ages. AGES i tell you. i have no clue where i'm going with this, it's still in the rough sketch phase. but. i've written out how many panels/dialogue. so. we'll see where we end up!!!

anyway child nai is inspired by various sad-looking crying cat memes like this one:

#c: nai naalfa #my doodles #i am so excited to finish this!!! oughhh!!! two more panels baby and then a larger illustration to wrap things up. it's a silly little comi #and i have no idea what i'm doing like process-wise. but oughhh!!!! it's gonna be sad!!! i miss noxaria....

Nai's not into Aymeric, but she *is* into dressing up to impress!

#c: nai naalfa #sheeshi plays ffxiv #me playing through post-hw: i don't rlly care about aymeric eh. #aymeric: *inivites WoL on a date* #... okay mister pretty elezen i'll dress her up nicely.

[sheeshiki]

i've come to several (2) conclusions:

i like painting skin and shirts.

2. shading and painting hair scares me and sucks!!!! aah!!!

#c: nai naalfa #my doodles #can you tell that i'm not sure what i'm doing. slowly picking at this. i'm not rlly certain yet i like her hair but eh. what can u do.

[sheeshiki]

experimenting......... sitting behind my desk in shrimp-mode. 'painting' skin is relaxing. but i'm so sleeepy...

#c: nai naalfa #my doodles #i have NO idea how shading works. n the reference for this doodle #used like lighting that i was unable to track the origins of bc i suck #at doing that #so i thought 'fuck it' and decided on lighting from the right. #anyway can you tell i'm influenced by those artists on tiktok who use a shit ton of highlights? #it's fun. #no idea how i'm going to paint her hair... or clothes.... or like her upper chest. save me obiwan. teach me your painting ways. #oh fuck i gotta shade her clothes too fuck oh crap #zzzzzzzzzz i'm going to bed now. my head is eepy.

"My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl" - Florence + the Machine - "Howl"

finished my first piece of 2024........ and my first digital art since i was 15? i don't know - last time i drew anything digitally, i was an entirely different person, at an entirely different point in life.

feels good to finish something which i'm actually kinda proud of!

reference is Florence + the Machine's "Lungs" album cover, which, coincidentally, I loved listening to when i was 15. i'm glad it's done, but i'm even happier I started it.
