Another favorite: this immortal apple tree

Book #3 for 2026 is a re-read of
‘On a Sunbeam’.
On a Sunbeam, by Tillie Walden, a science fiction graphic novel. Synopsis: Throughout the deepest reaches of space, a crew rebuilds beautiful and broken-down structures, painstakingly putting the past together. As new member Mia gets to know her team, the story flashes back to her pivotal year in boarding school, where she fell in love with a mysterious new student. Soon, though, Mia reveals her true purpose for joining their ship—to track down her long-lost love. An inventive world, a breathtaking love story, and stunning art come together in this new work by award-winning artist Tillie Walden.

I will always have a fondness for Peanuts:

Big coat Snoopy, Peppermint Patty calling Charlie Brown, ‘Chuck’,

and Lucy providing mental health services at an affordable rate ;)

Highly recommend 100 Meters

Even if you don’t like ‘sports’ anime, the overall message is beautiful.

I have been using the Strong app for years:
f(x) charts. More Accurate XRM Estimations XRM estimations are now based on the Brzycki formula for lower reps and the Epley formula for higher reps. RPE is utilized for higher accuracy (optional).

Had a successful gamedev session in Godot for Flowerbud🌺

Nothing too exciting to show just yet.

However, here's a screenshot of my PureRef board:

I can't wait to make more art and continue work on Flowerbud in 2026 🌺💖
My 2025 artist 'top 8' grid. My profile picture, a person with long pink hair, a lime green knit hat, and a pan flag in the background. I am holding a monstera / houseplant themed keyblade. Top row, left to right: my dog in an oversized red wintercoat. He is framed by branches covered in snow. A fanart of Ness and King from Earthbound, sleeping in grassy field, with a night sky overhead, and a grey and pink furby with wings, sitting on a multi-color flower Middle row: a monstera and peace lily themed keyblade, my pfp, and a duskull that is modeled after the My Chemical Romance album cover for Black Parade, which was part of a 'Mayllenial' art challenge. Bottom row: A harvest sprite from Harvest Moon 64, reimagined, a pixel shaded buster sword surrounded by yellow lilies from Final Fantasy VII, and lastly, a black cat with an orange starry bow, smiling down at an orange winking jack-o-lantern

Hi, if there's room I would love to be included!

I'm Elle (she/they)

I'm a gamedev and 2D artist developing Flowerbud, a flower shop dating sim 🌺

My art style is a mix of cute and cozy, with a 90s 'radical' vibe.

Oh, I know! The windows were broken in because of the theft :/

The car was stolen from several states away and is encased in a block of ice right now, they can’t even tow it!

They finally chipped away:
