Hope you all have had a calm New Year's Day. 😊

I've been eager to slam the book shut on 2025 myself. Here's to planting some seeds to bear beautiful things. (Quite literally, I'm trying to see if I can grow a cherry tree from a pit. 😆)
My 2025 holiday card. Gold decorative elements in the style of tassels and beads and woodwork surround a diamond-shaped frame on a dark desaturated purple. A shining star element takes up the top of the diamond's interior. A chibi of my WoL, Kestlona, is amid a herd of white and black karakuls. They gaze up at the falling snow. One of her hands is lifted to the falling snowflakes, another rests on the blanket the black karakul in front of her wears. Written on the bottom left is "May your New Year be bright!" and across on the right is 2025.

Review of 2025, featuring my roughs. Mostly OCs and FFXIV, as has been the case for some years. The alt text includes specifics for each month.

Template by @/AHOB_009 on twitter. 🎶

#ababbleart
The background is a pastel green with a grid pattern. On it are two rows of six tall rectangles made to look like old tickets, with the month on the "tear-off" part. "Year End 2025" is centered at the top, with "(Thank you for your hard work this past year)" in smaller text below it. Centered underneath the art is "TEMPLATE DESIGNED BY @/AHOB_009." January - Nurasua as a snake deity and Rajshri, OCs February - My Azem with some fishies (?), FFXIV March - Lucky, Animal Crossing April - Lahabrea and the Phoinix, FFXIV May - Venat, FFXIV June - Daphne and the birds, a friend's FFXIV OC July - My Halmarut Ancient with some genomos pals, FFXIV August - Azem, FFXIV September - Ja-ril, OC October - Thumbnails for a comic about the Okimotos, OCs November - Halmarut enjoying lakeside greenery, FFXIV December - Gan-ril, OC

A little Halmarut decorating a tree. I hope your holidays treat you kindly as we head toward the new year. 🧡

(I realised I never posted the full art of my holiday card from last year! The best part was thinking up ornaments based on all the fungi and plant critters.)

#ababbleart #ffxiv
My holiday card design from last year. A little Ancient Halmarut walks along a light string holding a candy cane ornament. Behind them is a tree with red berries, decorated with ornaments and strings of lights. The ornaments include little button mushrooms, one based on the baby bun minion, chestnut korppokurs, candy canes, and a number of ball ornaments. The ball ornaments depict plants, including one based on an "ugly sweater" with gigantenders, a mandragora queen with a pink poinsettia, and another is a knitted mandragora. The light strings alternate between retro colour bulbs and wee cherry bombs. Happy Holidays 2024 is written towards the bottom left of the image.

My art for the newly unlocked stretch goals for @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social! The Sahagin are one of my favourite peoples in XIV, so I'm happy I had a chance to paint one for the zine.🐠

(Also was fun getting some use out of my watercolours for the gold. I love their sparkles. 😆)

#ababbleart #ffxiv
A promo image for Untamed 3's Triple Triad set. It features a Sahagin priest in the midst of summoning Leviathan. In the background and foreground, parts of Leviathan are visible, especially the dorsal spines. The Sahagin priest stands in the center, looking toward the ocean's surface. Bright blue lines swirl around the priest.

I love birds, so of course I'm still doodling Lonahali from my Untamed 3 comic. LOL

#ababbleart
FFXIV fanart in full colour. A chibi version of my Hanuhanu chara, Lonahali. She stands gripping a bound book, a few paper tabs bookmarking pages. She smiles down at the book. A small quetzal is perched on her head, also looking at whatever is on the page. There's a decorative framing element in the shape of a square behind them, and some bushes, flowers, and grass surround the two.

Take a peek into the daily wanderings of Lonahali, an amateur ornithologist whose collected work would become an international bestseller.

(love silly comic ideas that work out🎨)

More information and artist previews can be found at @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social!

#ababbleart #ffxiv
A cropped preview of a page from my comic in the Untamed 3 zine! The brown bar on the top of the image has the zine's title and icon. The bottom brown bar gives the zine's shop link, the preorder dates, and the zine's username on social media. The middle part of the image shows the preview. In one panel, a Hanuhanu, Lonahali, looks up from her journal to see a number of curious toco toquitos (toucans) peering back at her. The next panel shows some of the toco toquitos flying off. Lonahali continues her walk, but she looks over one shoulder as a red feather drifts down to her. A blank text box covers part of both panels. Untamed 3: A FFXIV Creature Zine's preorders run from September 9th to October 3rd.

A sketch of a pile of rainbow leaves, likely at home somewhere in the nonsense of FFXIV's new deep dungeon.

Readers, it's been around *36 years* since it last snowed and stayed on the ground here like this. 🥳
Tracks coming up to the porch looking for the usual free handouts. Prints may just be the raccoon. One of the outside ferals is like Legolas and just walks on top of it, leaving no prints.

One of my dailies of my Azem I still like.

#ababbleart #ffxiv
A purple monochrome sketch of my Azem. They sit sidesaddle on a kelpie in the lower third of the sketch. Their back is to the viewer, exposed by a loose robe. The water fades into the blankness of morning fog.

This is the last finished piece I made for 2024. I'm not sure what 2025 has up its sleeves, but I hope it includes a lot more art. :]

Hope you all enjoy the New Year and stay safe if you're traveling! 🎉
A black and white postcard I made to print. A chibi Halmarut is walking on a forest path dominated by towering fungi, a greener gleaner perched on their hood. They hold a tablet in their hands but their gaze is directed upward, admiring the fungi. On their back is a giant basket filled with flowers, leaves, and fungi they've gathered on their walk.

Hope you all get some chances to relax in the holiday bustle!

I've been helping my mom bake, it's been fun trying out new recipes. 🥰

A snippet of my holiday card this year. Happy Holidays 2024 is in the bottom left corner. Ornaments of a chesnukkur (chestnut korpokkur), a brown button mushroom with little peets, a candy cane, and a mandragora queen ball hang on a tree with red berries. Vintage and cherry bomb light strings add a warm glow to the image.

The past years' holiday card designs I made, which my Patreon folks have been receiving. 🌰

I like how this year's came out, too. = w= Can't wait to print 'em.
My OC, Feara, standing in side profile with her hands extended out toward a golden filagree type item. Her white hair swirls around her. The background is a dark blue with small white stars, with a series of circles behind Feara like a halo. A little boreal woodland caribou walking through snow. They wear a green scarf and packs are on their back stuffed with wildflowers. A frame of cranberries on the plant encircles the caribou. A big pile of chesnukkurs, or the chestnut korpokkur, on a dark background. The chestnuts are still in their green shells covered in spikes. A close-up photo of my Christmas tree, its lights casting bright colours on the green branches. I've doodled in white on some of the ornaments as well as little plant critters from FFXIV. The photo is framed by a plant and seed pattern on a dark red background.

Some pics of the other two notepads that came in yesterday! It's been pretty cloudy, so I'll plot to take some better fotos when the sun stops hiding itself.

Now I'm waiting for the rest of the merch to come in. 😊
A photo of the Concept notepads. One notepad is showing the black backing board, while the other shows the design on both sides. A photo of the Candied Apples notepads. One notepad is showing the bright blue backing board (yes it was picked to represent Meteion), while the other shows the design printed on both sides.

I finished slapping "thank you" emojis on my entire friends list in Pocket Camp right when EoS hit. 🥺I'm glad there'll be an offline version, but it feels bittersweet.

My campsite last year, based on the idea of a town's shrine. I update parts based on the season, so it looked similar at the end.
A screenshot of my campsite from Pocket Camp. Villagers are engaging in various activities. I made my campsite manager based on an OC, Tvo. Yes, my camper is made to look like a Neapolitan ice cream bar. Q wQ;; A screenshot of my campsite from Pocket Camp. Villagers are engaging in various activities.

An old daily rough and the even older photo that inspired it.

I loved walking around all the places I visited with my grandmother when she was taking care of some family business in Corsica. T WT;

#ababbleart
A sketch of my oc Rajshri walking through an old town. She looks at a small bird holding a message in its beak. A colour photo form Vescovato, Corse. It shows the winding path of stairs common to the area. Many of the old buildings are of stone construction.

Daily roughs (repost) - My brain wants to draw Venat two ways: bubbly mentor aunt and "You're past your sunder date" tax collector.

#ababbleart #ffxiv
A blue monochrome sketch of Venat. She looks to the side, waves overlapping her. Hands disintegrating into shards reach up from the bottom (your) left up to a larger hand in the upper right. A sketch of Venat. She walks upon a descending path of skulls, the sword held in her right hand starting to shatter. She looks upward, her own form becoming whispy with her approaching primalhood.

Yep, I like making goofy things with plants and Halmarut.🪴

The shop will close Nov. 16th around 11:59 CST (GMT-6)! As of now, I'm not sure when I'll reopen, but it would be sometime next year. Thanks again to everyone who looked or ordered! 🥰

A promo image for my shop. The background consists of faded leaves. A festive Halmarut drifts across on a holly korpokkur. A micro gigantender is latched onto their foot with one "hand", the other holding a greener gleaner. The text reads: Flying Away Nov. 16th! Shop Link

2021 -> 2024 Shadowpuppers

I don't do a lot of redraws, but I wanted a sticker. LOL

#ababbleart #ffxiv
A monochrome sketch showing the shadowpupper sitting with her tail wagging. She was excited to play fetch even if WoLs going through Eden Savage were not. A redraw of the shadowpupper sketch. The drawing is in greyscale on a pink background. She is still excited to play fetch with WoLs.

Sorry for the reupload, I forgot to edit the sound out (fans are noisy eh).

Some of my stickers came in today, including this little shadowpupper. The subtle holo effect behaves how I hoped it would. ✨

I cannot tell you how excited I was to get a sticker after being a vote-by-mailer for an age. The sheet it was on also had a QR code to go to the site to check your ballot status. Small progress for here. 😅

There were really important items to vote on here, even putting the presidential race aside!
A photo of my first "I voted" sticker in years! There's some added deco and one of my pins. My county is censored for my own peace of mind.

Silly idea: Azem got their hands on the cherry bomb concept one weekend.

I also wanted to say thank you to those who have already taken a look! It means a lot 🧡
