Life's been hard, but it's June. Here's something with some of my OCs, Rajshri and Nurasua. ~When the twin moons hit your eye like two big pizza pies, that's amooorrreeee~ #ababbleart #ocs

You know, taking a look at the town concept art, it looks like they might be about waist-high on the hyur(?) blob. (Also are these supposed to be scratching posts next to the entrances to the buildings??? 😭)

It's the day I sprouted and I've been hit by a respiratory debuff, so if you would like, tell me your Halmarut thoughts, hopes, and/or headcanons, including if you have Ancient versions. = w=;;; (I did catch up to MSQ in February, but these sketches were drawn prior lol) #ababbleart

The classic meme of DW from Arthur looking at a sign on her brother's room's door, stating "That sign won't stop me, because I can't read!" It is usually changed to fit the poster's current admission of guilt before all the deities flitting through existence.

The first panel of the meme shows "Dawntrail 7.4 Spoilers" on the sign and text in the bottom (your) right corner reads "(hasn't played past 7.0)".

A screenshot of a row of the first three sketches of Halmarut's sundered form that I've drawn (there are more now). The first shows Halmarut standing alone, flowers clasped in her hands, lost in thought. The second will be a rough painting of her having a genial chat with Kestlona, my WoL, all under the watchful eye of Marquis Morbol, chaperone. The third is simply a chibi.

I love how her dress echos the Ancients' robes, by the by.

Hope you all have had a calm New Year's Day. 😊 I've been eager to slam the book shut on 2025 myself. Here's to planting some seeds to bear beautiful things. (Quite literally, I'm trying to see if I can grow a cherry tree from a pit. 😆)

My 2025 holiday card.

Gold decorative elements in the style of tassels and beads and woodwork surround a diamond-shaped frame on a dark desaturated purple. A shining star element takes up the top of the diamond's interior. A chibi of my WoL, Kestlona, is amid a herd of white and black karakuls. They gaze up at the falling snow. One of her hands is lifted to the falling snowflakes, another rests on the blanket the black karakul in front of her wears.

Written on the bottom left is "May your New Year be bright!" and across on the right is 2025.

A little Halmarut decorating a tree. I hope your holidays treat you kindly as we head toward the new year. 🧡 (I realised I never posted the full art of my holiday card from last year! The best part was thinking up ornaments based on all the fungi and plant critters.) #ababbleart #ffxiv

My holiday card design from last year.

A little Ancient Halmarut walks along a light string holding a candy cane ornament. Behind them is a tree with red berries, decorated with ornaments and strings of lights.

The ornaments include little button mushrooms, one based on the baby bun minion, chestnut korppokurs, candy canes, and a number of ball ornaments. The ball ornaments depict plants, including one based on an "ugly sweater" with gigantenders, a mandragora queen with a pink poinsettia, and another is a knitted mandragora.

The light strings alternate between retro colour bulbs and wee cherry bombs. Happy Holidays 2024 is written towards the bottom left of the image.

My art for the newly unlocked stretch goals for @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social! The Sahagin are one of my favourite peoples in XIV, so I'm happy I had a chance to paint one for the zine.🐠 (Also was fun getting some use out of my watercolours for the gold. I love their sparkles. 😆) #ababbleart #ffxiv

A promo image for Untamed 3's Triple Triad set. It features a Sahagin priest in the midst of summoning Leviathan. In the background and foreground, parts of Leviathan are visible, especially the dorsal spines. The Sahagin priest stands in the center, looking toward the ocean's surface. Bright blue lines swirl around the priest.

I love birds, so of course I'm still doodling Lonahali from my Untamed 3 comic. LOL #ababbleart

FFXIV fanart in full colour. A chibi version of my Hanuhanu chara, Lonahali. She stands gripping a bound book, a few paper tabs bookmarking pages. She smiles down at the book. A small quetzal is perched on her head, also looking at whatever is on the page. There's a decorative framing element in the shape of a square behind them, and some bushes, flowers, and grass surround the two.

Cat @ababblesaurus.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Take a peek into the daily wanderings of Lonahali, an amateur ornithologist whose collected work would become an international bestseller. (love silly comic ideas that work out🎨) More information and artist previews can be found at @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social! #ababbleart #ffxiv

A cropped preview of a page from my comic in the Untamed 3 zine!

The brown bar on the top of the image has the zine's title and icon. The bottom brown bar gives the zine's shop link, the preorder dates, and the zine's username on social media.

The middle part of the image shows the preview. In one panel, a Hanuhanu, Lonahali, looks up from her journal to see a number of curious toco toquitos (toucans) peering back at her. The next panel shows some of the toco toquitos flying off. Lonahali continues her walk, but she looks over one shoulder as a red feather drifts down to her. A blank text box covers part of both panels.

Untamed 3: A FFXIV Creature Zine's preorders run from September 9th to October 3rd.

Readers, it's been around *36 years* since it last snowed and stayed on the ground here like this. 🥳

This is the last finished piece I made for 2024. I'm not sure what 2025 has up its sleeves, but I hope it includes a lot more art. :] Hope you all enjoy the New Year and stay safe if you're traveling! 🎉

A black and white postcard I made to print. A chibi Halmarut is walking on a forest path dominated by towering fungi, a greener gleaner perched on their hood. They hold a tablet in their hands but their gaze is directed upward, admiring the fungi. On their back is a giant basket filled with flowers, leaves, and fungi they've gathered on their walk.

A snippet of my holiday card this year. Happy Holidays 2024 is in the bottom left corner. Ornaments of a chesnukkur (chestnut korpokkur), a brown button mushroom with little peets, a candy cane, and a mandragora queen ball hang on a tree with red berries. Vintage and cherry bomb light strings add a warm glow to the image.

The past years' holiday card designs I made, which my Patreon folks have been receiving. 🌰 I like how this year's came out, too. = w= Can't wait to print 'em.

A little boreal woodland caribou walking through snow. They wear a green scarf and packs are on their back stuffed with wildflowers. A frame of cranberries on the plant encircles the caribou.

A big pile of chesnukkurs, or the chestnut korpokkur, on a dark background. The chestnuts are still in their green shells covered in spikes.

A close-up photo of my Christmas tree, its lights casting bright colours on the green branches. I've doodled in white on some of the ornaments as well as little plant critters from FFXIV. The photo is framed by a plant and seed pattern on a dark red background.

I finished slapping "thank you" emojis on my entire friends list in Pocket Camp right when EoS hit. 🥺I'm glad there'll be an offline version, but it feels bittersweet. My campsite last year, based on the idea of a town's shrine. I update parts based on the season, so it looked similar at the end.

A blue monochrome sketch of Venat. She looks to the side, waves overlapping her. Hands disintegrating into shards reach up from the bottom (your) left up to a larger hand in the upper right.

I cannot tell you how excited I was to get a sticker after being a vote-by-mailer for an age. The sheet it was on also had a QR code to go to the site to check your ballot status. Small progress for here. 😅 There were really important items to vote on here, even putting the presidential race aside!
