Slow on the update, low poly has been happening though! Colors are placeholders at the moment
#pixelart #art #lowpoly

Cat update:
We did end up having to take my cat in again for a third time on Wednesday... We think unrelated issue (her wet food had a bone in it 😨). Luckily she's in the clear now!

Low poly model of a "shrine maiden" with green hair. Her face, hands, and feet are uncolored and not textured.

Illustration of Yutaka Yamai from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series and the vtuber Yupii Hunie. The illustration is themed after Valentines day, with lots of laces, pink and hearts decorating the background and framing. Yupii is holding a brigadeiro (a brazilian chocolate baked good with sprinkles) up to Yamai's mouth while Yamai accepts it with a cheeky grin.
Yupii and Yamai are both wearing valentines themed outfits, specifically they are themed after Strawberry chocolate cakes. The main part of the dress is a soft and warm brown, with the top and bottom having a white cloth with a single pink stripe going around the shoulders and the bottom of the dress. She is also wearing brown stockings with the ends on the thighs being a pink cloth with a white stripe, and pink ballet heels with a ribbon tied on her ankles. Finally she is wearing white gloves, a necklace and a tiara with strawberry pendants.
Yamai's he is wearing a brown tuxedo with a golden accent and small gold strawberry shaped buttons, a dark pink/burgundy vest below, a pink tie, white dress shirt.
On the bottom right are chibis of the two.

Illustration of the VTuber Yupii Hunie with Yutaka Yamai from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series in a romantic shoujo manga/otome game inspired aesthetic. The artwork has them standing in the sunset/evening sky as they look into each other's eyes and lace their fingers together. Yupii is holding a veil that is billowing on the wind over the two. Their hair and clothes are floating in the wind as well. Behind them is a sunset sky.

Pixel Art illustration of the Vtuber Poseidon from Mythos. She is sitting on a rock underwater with corals and algae around it. She is wearing heart glasses and her hair is just like the sea, with ripples on the edges. She is wearing a hat with corals and pearl accesories on her outfit. She is smiling towards the viewer as fish swim by her and the sun shines from the surface through the water above.

Pixel Illustration of the vtuber Gijutsu. The illustration features the character holding a metal/iron/sci-fi like whip that occasionally emits electric sparks. The character is standing in the middle of a forest in the night, the moon visible above with some clouds. The character has a mechanical left arm (on the viewer's right) and an electronic eyepatch on his right eye (on the viewer's left).

Sorry for the lack of updates. The vet visit was extremely good this go around. The doctor was very happy with Lily's results and quick recovery!

Here is a shot of her, tired of being in the vets office.

Lastly, the cat in question.
NOTE: She is doing a LOT better. I have actually already taken her to the vet and paid for the treatment. These coms are to replenish the emergency funds and pay for her checkup on Monday.
