Hope Makes Art @hopeeternia.bsky.social · Dec 16
Hello Bluesky!

I’m Hope, an #artist aspiring to find a home and community. I’ll be primarily posting #art about my oc’s and fan oc’s. Expect Final Fantasy XIV, Magical Girls and whatever else I may ramble or make.
An elezen girl in dark pink with long hair is reaching up to the sky. The sky is split between bright light with the night sky in the middle. A group of four friends is playing Uno at a table. From left to right is: a pale girl with brown hair holding cards and looking a little shocked, a slightly tanned girl with orange hair annoyed and reaching out to pick up a card, a pale girl with red hair and glasses laughing at the situation and a dark skinned girl with curly brown hair slightly smiling as she places down a +4 card. A short haired elezen girl in armour. She is curled up and her cape is swirling around her. A dark skinned woman dressed in an elaborate teal and blue outfit that has gold accents. Her curly hair is tied up with a big blue bow. There is water surrounding her, some in her right hand and the most forming a shield in front of her left forearm.

for 2026, i encourage you to stray away from canon lore if it doesn't fit your oc's story/narrative. if it's daft, hop the twig. hit da bricks. canon is merely a blueprint - a stepping stone - to what you can conceptualize using your imagination and creativity. be free!!!

"Moogle with a Cloud Mallow - Madame Mogme and her Son", based on Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son by Claude Monet (1875).
I Wanted to experiment with doing more explicitly painterly stuff again, and the topic of master studies came up. I said to my sister: "the problem with my autistic brain is that if I can't fit my hyperfixations into it somehow I'm not gonna be motivated to do it." nd so we came up with a solution: classic paintings with Moogles. In this one, a Moogle floats over a field of flowers holding a puff of Cloud Mallow. A younger Moogle with a straw hat stands further away.

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Looking back, I did do some full pieces and I have pushed myself to improve, but no portfolio. Fundamentals have been practiced, but more art of Colette? Not that much.

Its been a good year for art though! Very happy with my progress!
hopeeternia.bsky.social Hope Makes Art @hopeeternia.bsky.social · Dec 21
2025 Art Goals:

✨️ I want to practice my fundamentals a bit more
✨️ Start making more full pieces and push myself to improve, a proper portfolio is a goal
✨️ Use my art to tell more of Colette stories! Be it comics or single images with a bit of text

Reply or qrp with your own goals

as an artist you SHOULD:
use the word commission
post links
use hashtags
talk about your original projects
post often, or not!
use alt text, ideally always but at least often
block shit you don’t wanna see and leave those people alone

you should NOT:
be a bigot

our rules are pretty chill here!
lycorinne.bsky.social noa @lycorinne.bsky.social · 7d
It's kinda heartbreaking to see so many artists being like "can I post about OCs and not just fanart?", "can I talk about other stuff?", "can I post often?" because the other hellsite literally punished you for doing...normal things you do as an artist - as a person, even.
