It's been a minute since I have drawn my gorl.

I couldn't decide which of these poses I wanted to use, so I drew all three.

the drawings of a light skinned, pinkish-red haired, and pinkish-red tailed mermaid with her hands over he head. The left picture is from her side and she is grinning over he sholder. The middle picture is from the front and she is looking slightly down with a neutral expression. The third picture is from the front and she is looking up and to the left.

i bring more women kissing to your TL

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

The Dawn Throne 🌼

A digital painting featuring two Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Raen and a Xaela Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer in a grassy field in the Azim Steppe. Across from the pair is The Dawn Throne, a massive dome with a stone carving of a horned man wearing a crown. Many pillars surround the structure, and Yol birds are soaring in the blue sky overhead.

Dawn of a Journey in La Noscea ☀️

A digital painting featuring two Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Seeker of the Sun and a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te—walking and talking on a trail in La Noscea with their backs turned to the viewer. The pair is bathed in the golden light of the morning sun, while various creatures (dodos, a mandragora, and butterflies) watch them from the grass beneath the shade of the surrounding trees.

My full spread for A Roam Reborn, a #FFXIV travel zine! Kugane Tower ⛩️

A digital painting featuring Yugiri Mistwalker from Final Fantasy XIV standing with her back turned to the viewer, outstretching her arm for a falcon that is about to perch as she stands on a tiled rooftop in the city of Kugane. Across from her is Kugane Tower, a massive wooden structure that touches the clouds. Other birds seem to be flocking to the tower as they soar across the orange sunset.

Saint Mocianne's Arboretum 🌱

A digital painting featuring three Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Seeker of the Sun and Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te, as well as a Raen Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer as they survey the landscape of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum from atop giant water lilies. Across from the trio are a group of korpokkurs—small creatures with round, green bodies and leaves that sprout from their heads. Moss-covered trees, butterflies, and even more korpokkurs appear out of focus in the foreground, adding depth to the blue green scene.

Day 13 - Shark vs. Mechashark

There will never be a mechanical shark as cool as the one from James and the Giant Peach. It was very basking shark-coded (despite basking sharks being some of the most gentle of giants in the sea).
