Someone in a FFXIV discord I'm in sent a bunch of expressions that Woody makes in the first Toy Story, along with their attempts to draw their character making said faces. I wanted to have a go with Bori, so here we are! It's a fun way to figure out how to push your expressions, I recommend you give it a go if you're the drawing type.

I know I post fuck-all on here but I got to see my Roebro get a glow-up today and you are going to Look At Him. Right now, the whole graphics update seems to be a bit controversial (MoonKeepers losing their fangs, Veena losing their big pupils, lips/teeth looking odd on some races, etc) but beyond a bit of over-smoothing, I think they did awesome on the Roebros! I can't speak for everyone else, I just think Bori looks really good. They even reduced the gap between the jaw and the beard! I hated whenever the camera was put at an angle that made it sound out- which is unfortunately often.

Gave Bori's pokemon gym leader look an update!

I was talking with @eldrxtch about how it can be hard to draw a character from FFXIV when you're not used to drawing the race they're actually from (e.g. drawing a Lalafell but defaulting to more natural head proportions)

While watching him draw his character Daoloth with and without refs, I elected to do something similar- namely trying to emulate the game's appearance of Bori, drawing him how I always do, tracing a screenshot, then drawing him stylistically based on said screenshot. It was fun, especially since my hands haven't wanted to cooperate with me today!

Drew Bori for mermay last minute! I love how this came out

I know it's been a hot minute since I've actually posted my art, but not all of my doodles are rendered, so here's some miscellaneous doodles I've done to make up for it. Life should contain some whimsy and fun, not everything needs to be polished.

These feature my friends @holycowboybatman, @eldrxtch, @stellarblitz, @howdyeudoo, Alcina, Nano, and Honey

This took me just over three weeks to get finished- all for an art prompt I saw on BlueSky to draw your WOL in the style of a specific panel from Witch Hat Atelier. I was aiming for a stained glass look, and though I think I deviated a bit for the DawnTrail frame, I think I nailed it.

Been battling Influenza-A for a little over two weeks, and no medication heals the soul quite like Blorbo From Your Games does.
