IT DOES
3 days…
Day 177: still there
A Borderlands-style title card featuring a siren dressed in a bright orange and black leather harness and jacket, with cut off black denim shorts, ripped fishnet leggings, and big stompy combat boots. Lightning curls around her, and she summons a disc-like shield of energy.
Your new favorite siren. ⚡

Oh my god, welcome home Ember 😭🧡
Two people riding through the brightly-lit nighttime streets of Night City on the back of a motorbike.
Two hunters battle a rathalos from the Monster Hunter series.
A siren from the Borderlands series wielding a shield of pure energy.
Two women, one in a red cloak and one in white, walk through heavy snow fall towards a distant mountain with a brightly lit peak, like that of Journey.
I have a hilarious number of edits emulating other games. Everything I love has to be brought into XIV for some reason. 😅
Coming from you?? Thank you!! 🥲❤️
Anyway. She's a contestant on Deadzone, an "unscripted" battle royale reality show and completely synthetic siren (so as not to break the "only seven sirens" rule). Her whole identity belongs to her network and, saying "fuck that", decided to jet off to lawless Pandora where only the insane survive.
Four days of work just because I really wanted to visualize Ivih's original incarnation, Io, who is a Borderlands OC (embarrassing). So technically that's not Green Ivih. Ivih is actually Red Io.

Day 175: still there
A comfy Meyer’s parrot reaching up with a claw to gently scritch at his own neck.
A Meyer’s parrot with pinning eyes looking down his own beak with a claw raised as if to grab something.
Unconcerned, fluffy, and happy / discovering a fuzzy stuck to his beak and need it REMOVED IMMEDIATELY

Day 174: still there
Hotels that make you pay to park your car in their lot overnight should be burned to the ground, actually.
Damn I really need to play 4 already
A screenshot of a project in Photoshop, showing a closely-cropped image of a woman dressed in a brightly colored and studded leather harness and jacket, grinning and wielding lightning. Strange, looping tattoos glow on her skin under her clothing.

Ughhhh no keep it in the past with all my decent memories of it. Even this couldn’t sell my own nostalgia back to me.
More wok i did for Where the Water Tastes like Wine. 2015-2018

IT IS, but you do start to lose track of realistic proportions after a while which is making it incredibly hard to tell if limbs look weird until you're staring at it hours after leaving gpose. 😂
A hyuran woman with stretched limbs to force the look of an extremely narrow focal length.
The same hyur, now with at 30% more skrunkle added to her limbs and neck.
A hyuran woman in a ready pose.
A hyuran woman in the same ready pose with a more dramatic simulation of a short focal length.
Yeah okay, more skrunkle makes a marked difference.
Day 172: still there
I need y'all to imagine Karlach at the toll house screaming "I'M FREE", laughing manically, and then axe-ing everything around her apart while she burns the place down bc that is the vibe.
No more "move this Franken-deck from multiple masters/brands to this one client brand".
No more "make sure all the fonts align".
No more "unbold and resize this text".
No more "make this object match the client's colors".
No more "make this text say this instead".
DO IT YOURSELF, I'M FREE 🦅🦅🦅🦅
I bitch about work often, but I am glad for one recent change that's HUGE for me and my team:
Consultants will have to do most of their own PPT copy/paste work from now on because requesting we do it doesn't actually require any of our expertise and bogs us down with unnecessary, tedious tasks.
I gave a presentation as a terrible public speaker who had no time to practice (to 3 people but still), please say something nice to me. 🫠
Getting up at 3am to go and in the kitchen #justgirlythings
