One of these days I plan on making my own set of Miqo’te ears using some locks of my own hair, so I could potentially cosplay my FFXIV character. :D

I’m like… furry adjacent? It’s not my thing, but it’s not NOT my thing? I got really into helping Harper make her fursuit head a few years ago, even though she seems to have drifted away from her fursona stuff. *shrug*

When I was four or so, my dad broke his leg waterskiing, and one of his get well cards included this stuffed raccoon, which he gave to me.
Raccy went EVERYWHERE with me for so goddamn long. I lose him at some point along the way, and recently found the SAME ONE on eBay.

This is a self-care checkpoint.
Post your favorite selfie that makes you feel good about yourself.
I miss this dress so much. The zipper broke in spectacular fashion (it was garbage), but I saved the dress anyway in the hopes of maybe someday disassembling it and remaking it from scratch. :D

Before and after. (I forgot to add the Tram track originally - fixed that.)
This is less of a 1:1 attempt than most of my other backgrounds. This time around, I'm trying to go more for the feel of what I WANTED the original background to look like in my imagination.

Been having fun this morning replicating parts of the Lair in Blender, and this is probably one of the more intricate spaces I had to recreate.
I'm absolutely LOVING using Blender for the backgrounds lately. It's a bit more complex, but SO much more of the vibe I want to go for.

It’s definitely slightly off center - it’s a hair to the left for some reason.

I mean, we’ve got four cats, and it works okay with them since it’s so high up on the tree. :D

I’m gonna post the most dramatic black and white selfie I’ve got, though it’s (obviously) old as shit. :P

Decided to work a little on Liz’ office tonight, just to try and get it in line with the version I’d drawn (it was in Monday’s comic, for reference).
This was also seeing how the light reacted at the equivalent of about 5 PM. I still have a few additional light fixtures to add, but it’s fun!

So far these are the “main 4” locations that I’ve got framed out to match as closely to the comic framing as possible. They’re all taken at the equivalent of 4 PM at this time of year, and I’ll probably run off a batch of them at different times to see how things shift.

No, it seems like Malwarebytes might be using old crowdsourced info. I had a virus attack at one point a few years back, but I dealt with it. Most other things show it as clean.

I wish we had gotten more Trick-or-Treaters, but our yard looked better than it ever has this year! I already have some projects in mind for next year, too!
(The background for the window projection is something I literally threw together in 2 hours in Blender last night. It came out pretty well!

“When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls… whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still — that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!”
