Doodle for @aughtpunk's lovely Disco Elysium fic 'The Aquarium Costs Extra' on ao3. The penguin wouldn't leave me alone. Version with 'far too many sparkles' below the cut.

I'm sick so I have time to post some of the stuff I made last year (+1 from this year)

I'd like to thank @daisy-todd-draws and the lovely people of the Dropzone discord for the motivational prompts each month that really got me into the swing of things <3

"What if those big-ass factory pipes could move, and would do so like cobras?"

"Appa through a spyglass (& some birds)"

Cross stitch 22x22 cm, 9216 (and a couple) stitches

Comes with a complimentary haiku:

A pledge, taken, kept.

All clouds, a silver lining.

Don't you know these clouds?

I promised a friend some years back to stitch them an appa. So I finally got around to it, figured I wouldn't do it half-assedly after the long wait, and things...escalated from there. This thing is larger than my head and took two weeks to stitch. Next time I should probably plan the whole pattern ahead of time. Still, I like how it turned out. Akatsuki clouds and seagulls and all. I can't wait to give it to said friend!
