I thought my dad was talking about a parody when he told me saw a video of a guy riding his bike past 🧊 and taunting them with “I’m not a US citizen!”

And 🧊 proceeds to chase the dude like a group of cartoon characters in a slapstick comedy like…

it’s a real video. This country is embarrassing 🥴

I don’t think I ever posted a link to my humble little Eorzea Collection page:

New look for Ainur! And me! I can’t think of a single time I purposely chose neon green for something.

I had to search for a song for her… I think Nox Aeterna by Qntal is a good fit!

A screenshot from the MMO Final Fantasy 14. The screenshot depicts my character Ainur, a female Xaela Au Ra (a humanoid with black scales along her wrists and neck jaws and cheek, as well as her calves with horns on each side of her head where her ears would be) posing with her Astrolgian’s star globe, a device that resembles a Renaissance armillary sphere encircled by floating Tarot cards. I’m showcasing a new outfit (Glamour) I’ve made for Ainur: she has short, feathery white hair, a black cottagecore/1930s style dress with neon green trim, a black beret and neon green rimmed glasses, black fishnets and black derbies with neon green soles. Ainur also is wearing neon green nail polish! Her environment,
Yuweyawata Field Station, is a run-down scientific facility with dim green and red lights, and dirty floors and walls.

Another screenshot of Ainur, my Final Fantasy 14 character showing off her neon green and black cottagecore-esque ensemble. This screenshot is of a bust close-up of the previous pose: Ainur has one hand behind her back, and the other hold out her star globe, hovering just above the palm of her hand. Her star globe (Phantom Umbrae Star Globe) is also black and neon green; the other portion consists of black almost wing-like shapes while the center is a glowing, neon green vial.

This is a screenshot of the back view of the previous pose. You can see with a little more detail with the hand Ainur is holding behind her back and her nails are painted neon green. You can also see a bit of her tail, which is black and dragon-like in appearance.

This last screenshot is a top down view of Ainur. You can see a bit more of her derbies in this view, along with the beret and neon rimmed glasses. You can also see more of her star globe (Phantom Umbrae Star Globe) and the neon “vial” in the center of the black wing-like shapes and floating Tarot cards. The stained floor of the run-down scientific facility (Yuweyawata Field Station) is also visible, giving the image an industrial vibe.

Some digital art brainrot for your viewing pleasure

The pages have a smoother texture than I usually like, but they’re also thick and quite hearty so I’m fine with that. I recently did an inventory check on my markers and currently only have two greens, as is clear from my drawing lol!

A photo of my workspace depicting a close-up of a sketch of the side of a blue house with a gate covered in Morning Glories, a tree with yellow flowers framing the right side of the vertical composition. There are only two greens used on the tree and Morning Glory bush, a neon green and olive green.

Life’s been incredibly busy for me, but I still managed some sketches in my new sketchbook. This lavender-colored Talens Art Creation sketchbook caught my eye and I bought it on a whim due to the color alone; I completed two sketchbooks this year, I’m allowed to do that 🥲 #sketchbook

A photo of my sketchbook showing a black and white pen drawing of a vintage 1940s stove top with various kitchen utensils stacked on top of it, two frying pans hang on the wall above.

A photo of my sketchbook showing a drawing of a sepia toned pen drawing of an outdoor scene: a wicker a chair and a small, round glass table sit beneath the shade of fig tree.

A photo of my sketchbook showing a drawing of a black and white drawing of an old axe resting against the trunk of a lemon tree.

A knightly sketch from my new sketchbook! I’m thinking about taking this one and using it as a test run drawing with Procreate’s latest update to familiarize myself with the newest brushes! #sketchbook
