all of these are for an event i am planning in ffxiv next week
it’s a big market and all of these items are going to be for sale – or rather, the first two are free (you can have as much nonbooze lemonade as you like, only 3 cups of the boozy exotic blossom punch tho)
then one of the punch ingredients, and special maple candy shotglasses lol
basically this was one long exercise in me realizing idk what the fuck a plant looks like. this is probably when @gallusrostromegalus would tell me that i am halfway to becoming a botanical illustrator (by realizing idk what the fuck a plant looks like). however instead of actually learning what the fuck a plant looks like by thoroughly looking at it, i just blazed the fuck onwards after like 5 mins of googling. so: lemons and strawberries in first pic, then plum blossom + plum slice + chamomile, then chamomile + rhubarb + at some point i just started making up vague greenery, then a maple leaf
honestly what the fuck is rhubarb though.
Nah, the parts where you went “Fuck it. I’ve done enough research to get this project done to the degree it needs to be” and got mad at rhubarb for being rhubarb are the parts that make you a real botanical illustrator.
I love them, btw. Are you planning on coloring them or do you mind if I use these lines as digital color practice?
proposed ability: signature move where it lays an egg like a substitute, and if within the few moves it takes to hatch your chicken was KOd, the egg hatches as a new one. but depending on the item it held, it will come back as a different typing.
If you’re someone who wants to make original stuff for people to see, DO IT!!!
Your worth as an artist is not determined by the number of Tumblr notes you get. Followers are NOT a currency. Don’t worry about instant gratification, because you’re creating something only you can own for the rest of your life! It will take you longer to build up an audience around something that doesn’t have a pre-loaded fanbase. In fact it’ll probably take longer than you think, but you’ll have a much more satisfying artistic career.
