"Oh, so you've done this dance before" I can't wait for more msq, I need to see more Halmarut and have more brain worms of toxic yuri #ffxiv #halmarut #myart #wol

Two characters dancing together. One is Halmarut from Final Fantasy fourteen, who is being dipped while her hair flows out from the movement. One is a Viera Warrior of Light, Laurel, who is holding Halmarut up. Halmarut is looking up at Laurel with interest, while Laurel's face is blacked out besides her eyes to show her intense displeasure

"Its just a wee frog, don't be a wuss!" #ocart #art

Three people are in a hedge maze at night. On the left, a knight is being spooked by an old woman holding out a frog to him gleefully. To the right a younger woman is leaning over a fountain, reaching in to potentially grab another frog to scare the knight with.

"Don't you think this is a little foolish?" #ocart #art #illustration

A chase scene in a forest, the leaves are all orange suggesting its fall. Two witches, one old and one young, are on their brooms being chased rapidly by a knight on his horse. The older witch on the left has her hand up to go "nyeh nyeh" and sticking out her tongue, while the younger witch on the right looks startled and concerned at being chased. The Knight has his sword held aloft, the sun behind him framing him like a glorious hero.

#portfolioday !! I'm Liana, and I've worked as a concept artist in video games for the past few years, but recently have been working on making more illustration work! I'm currently open for work! www.artstation.com/lianarussell

Illustration of a younger woman dressed as a witch trying to keep a door from shutting while an older woman looks from inside her home grumpily.

Fanart from Final Fantasy 14. Halmarut, a green scaled aura woman, has her back to us as she reaches out for the other woman, stretching out a butterfly. Her red hair flys back in a floaty manner. The other woman, a viera dressed in red, leans away, startled by Halmarut. They are standing on a glowing field of plants on what appears to be in space.

Concept art from video game Fruit Golf, taking place on top of a pirate ship. There is a golf course upon it, with many different wacky obstacles littering the way.

Cutaway of Pseudopolis Yard from the book "Guards! Guards!" By Terry Pratchet. It shows the messy work space of the Night Watch.

"Of course, should it serve to satisfy your ambition, you are welcome to deal with the reflections as you deem fit." #ffxiv #ffxivart

Halmarut from FFXIV reaches for a Viera WOL, extending out a glowing butterfly to her. The Viera appears startled, leaning back with a hand on her sword. They stand on the moon, with a glowing patch of lush grass beneath them.

Realizations on the kind of person I style myself as. Why did no one stop me #myart

A small comic against a white background. It shows 3 tiny chibis wearing nearly identical outfits of a long sleeved pink top with pants of similar colors. The final image is of artist looking shocked with a strained smile as they hold their head in surprise at their wardrobe choices. They are also wearing a pink top

Next for @fruitgolf.bsky.social is the Kitchen level! Where you become tiny and golf around. This was a level that already had a rough level design when I came in, it was fun helping improve it and make some cool assets for all the different food boxes that show up!

Concept art for Fruit Golf a VR game. It is in a retro looking kitchen on one of the countertops as if the viewer has been shrunk down. There's kitchen supplies everywhere, as well as a golf green laid over the countertop.

Concept art for Fruit Golf a VR game. Artwork of a 3 tiered cake with a lot of fruit piled upon it. Shows an idea of dropping the cake on a golf course and leaving a sticky puddle behind.

Next up for concept art I've done for @fruitgolf.bsky.social is for the spooky scary level! The interior level in game now looks very different from these initial concepts, but it was still great to make these and think how a golf course would work in a castle!

Concept art from Fruit Golf a VR game. It is an illustration inside a room made out of purple stone bricks and arched ceilings. Most of the floor is covered in a golf green. There is spooky cobwebs, ghosts, candles littered everywhere, spooky statues with fruit heads. In the distance can be seen a coffin backlit by some stained glass windows.

Concept art from Fruit Golf a VR game. On the left is a statue with a pomegranate for a head, pouring liquid out of it's held jar. To the right is a coffin, with a fruit drawn on it with bat wings.

Next up for @fruitgolf.bsky.social concepts is from the Western level! Knew there had to be a proper western town when I was given this theme, made me think of all the westerns I had seen as a kid.

Concept art from Fruit Golf a VR game. Its a small western village in the middle of a desert with rocks and cliffs surrounding it. There's wanted signs, cactus's, and a saloon in the far back.

Concept art for Fruit Golf a VR game. A set of wooden storefront buildings. They come in different colors and are lined up to see how they look next to one another.

They're posed as if falling with one leg outstretched. On that leg is their tiny dog Freddie hang on and looking happy. There is also tiny doodles of their ffxiv viera, a tiny witch, and a tonberry with a heart.

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

"Oh boy the ADA accommodations saga has gotten worse, and I feel the only way to get SQUEX's attention is to make noise. Do you know of any creators in the FFXIV space, especially those who are disabled and with a FanFest ticket, who I can partner with to make a youtube video or something? I don't want any credit or anything, but video editing isn't my thing and I'm not a loud enough noise for them to care.

At this rate, I'm going to need to sell off my ticket. What they're doing is neither safe nor accessible."

A sketch of a mahogany tall cane rack with a tonberry design on each side (a tonberry is a small green goblin like character with a round head and big yellow eyes wearing a brown robe). The cane rack has room for several canes and umbrellas, and has a few blind canes and walking canes inside, along with an umbrella and a hat. On the front middle rack, there is raised Japanese braille spelling “Tadaima” which means “Welcome Home”

#dndart #myart #ocart Art I made of my DND groups characters, the Wyrd Kids! We've been playing for nearly three years at this point, and its been super fun so I wanted to finally put them all together in a piece of art :)

5 Characters are drawn.
On the top row starting from left, a pale skinned lady (Lumi) looks to the left. She has bangs that completely cover her eyes, while her braid twists around her. She is smiling and wearing a grey witch hat with feathers sticking out of it. To the right of her is a green skinned goblin (Milo). He has a navy blue witch hat and a yellow chunky cable scarf.
On the bottom row starting left is an elf (Bosque) with brown hair tied in a loose ponytail, part of it covering one eye. She is wearing a green blouse and is making a cat like grin. In the middle is a light blue ooze (Suhte) holding up triumphantly a sword. There is streaks of other shades of blue in their blobby form, and they're sitting in a bucket. To the right is a dark skinned man (Sparky) wearing a helmet. Spilling out of the top of it is his flaming hair. He wears a large purple scarf.
Around all the characters is dark smark swirling around them.
