Treated myself to an extended lunch break to enjoy the weather and sketch some M’ahmhas in today’s work fit #MahmhaMia

A sketchbook page of M’ahmha Mia, a red haired Miqo’te man wearing a dark green, short sleeve button-up, a pair of slightly too short black slacks, and a pair of brown loafers.

A date in the corner reads 10/13 and below it is a doodle of M’ahmha saying “I would simply not be here” with a person off screen replying “Who TF are you”

How it’s been lately (graphic design is NOT my passion)

A sketch of a person sitting at a computer and having violent thoughts upon receiving a work email:
“Hey! I know this is the 6th revision and we told you to use this specific photo, but we actually think it’s bad. Can you use all of the stuff from the first draft instead?”

A Phrontist and Their Fairy 🎓🧚✨ #VGenCommission of an FC mate’s SCH bunny, Ankh! #ffxiv #viera

A stained-glass style illustration of a non-binary viera with swooping strawberry blonde hair and fuzzy similarly colored rabbit ears. They wear a pair of spectacles and a pink-colored Scholar’s Gown, and are holding a tome with fluttering pages, the cover of which depicts Eos and Selene in a similar stained glass style. They have their hand raised to greet their summoned fairy, Eos, who appears happy to be there and is shimmering brightly above them.

A SCH stone is shown in the bottom right hand corner, and a decorative, golden frame reminiscent of a Levemete card surrounds the illustration.

At the very top above the aetherflow vague motif is the name ‘Ankh Autumnsong’ written in Eorzean script.

A close up detail picture of Ankh’s face, their tome, and Eos from the previous image.

An illustration of a female Miqo’te dragoon. The character is situated in a narrow frame with some elements like her spear and boot overlapping.

It’s especially satisfying when putting it next to my first sketch/line art attempt; it’s crazy how big a difference adding big blocks of value can make
