Codofwisdom. Trying to draw, write, take photos, play games, listen to podcasts, all at the same time. Can't juggle.

A rare selfie, with my sisters cockapoo. A round face with a slight smile, brown eyes, black hair, tousled, beginnings of stubble.
A thumbs up, taken from the linked video.

A road fading with distance, a dark forest painting the horizon at its mouth, flanked by brown and yellow hedges and green verges, an ominous sky of clouds fading into a dark so blue it looks to be open sky. The back of a black and white did head can just barely be seen at the foot of the image. He is a good boy.
A digital painting of a tree lined back road, the distant road fading to a bright spot in the distance beneath a canopy of overgrown greenery.
A portrait of a woman with pink hair and antennae, looking up to the sky with a subtle smile on her face. Around her is a decorative brass frame, adorned with curling fernlike fronds, and shrimp perched at each of the cardinal directions.
A big softie
Monster Hunter Wilds, Switch Axe user defeats monster with a Charged Followup Slash and ends up posing in the foreground as the monster reels back in defeat.
A froggyloch plush wearing a red hood that covers its entire body. It smiles happily, as if cosy.
A rendition of the moon, drawn in Clip Studio Paint. The colours are exaggerated, but still recognizably the satellite Earth is so used to.
The Desk mat of Froggy Loch relaxing with several frogs, spread out on my dinner table, obscuring all of it and hanging off the edges.
Finished art of a Dragon Age Veilguard character. It depicts an elven woman with long hair, blue-green heterochromia, and a enigmatic expression. Due to the lighting of the image, her face is a wash with palest blue and pink, contrasting with her plum colored lips. Her hair falls in gentle curves to either side of her head, a pleasant mousey brownThe The art is in the style of an oil painting due to the brush used.
Why is it so easy to focus on the negatives? Because the good is so long established that it has become nothing. Basic. The foundation for the home we now stand in. Heat pumps in through the ironwork and plumbing. Cold in through the windows. Water through the faucets. Sound from every corner as life and the world progresses heedlessly. Beneath my fingers keys slide into place as I write a concerto of words, Detailing the simple things that life has given me. But even the simple is not so simple. Beneath the keys, emerald boards covered in golden filigree think so I do not need to wield a pen, and wrap the world in my words. So complex, so mundane, so unheeded.
A work in progress of a Dragon Age Veilguard character. It depicts an elven woman with long hair, blue-green heterochromia, and a enigmatic expression. Due to the lighting of the image, her face is a wash with palest blue and bright pink, contrasting with her plum colored lips. The Work in progress, which is in the style of oil painting. Compared to last time, a lot of progress has been made, the eyes being more firmly finished, the hair in place though looking a bit hard in some way. Some details are still missing, like the subtle facial tattoo that spreads beneath both eyes and across the nose.

Due to the lighting of the image, her face is a wash with palest blue and bright pink, contrasting with her plum colored lips. The Work in progress, which is in the style of oil painting, is mostly of her face, and something is lost of the light hues. Her eyes are different sizes, though they are decently rendered. The nose may be a bit small, throwing off the composition of her face ever so slightly. Nevertheless, some effort has been put into it, and more will go into it still.
Results of a Hikikomori test. Final score was 42, with the prognosis "The proposed cut-off indicating risk is 42, therefore you are likely non-hikikomori. You should be vigilant." Other results: Socialization at 45, Isolation at 63, Emotional at 63.
The inner frame of the Gundam Barbatos, shouldering its signature mace while looking off in the distance.
Delilah sitting in a coffee shop at sunset, staring blankly into her half-finished coffee. Behind her is a full wall window, showing a dusty and parched wasteland town, backlit by a brilliant yellow sunset, partially obscured by distant mountains. Art by @artowish.bsky.social

First panel shows an Auburn haired anime girl with cat ears. She is saying "Yes! By the power of Alchemy, I now have cat ears!" Second panel shows a wide eyed cat, staring into the middle distance, its pupils dilated to an absurd degree. Instead of cat ears, it has human ears on either side of its head. It does not look impressed.
Barbatos in the midst of construction. The torso and head have been assembled, held aloft on a rubberized crocodile clip. The mech is a mass of grey plastic, accented by a golden crest on its chest and the signature emerald eyes of a Gundam.
The container box of the Master Grade Gunpla "GG Gundam Barbatos", showing a Gundam slamming a gigantic mace into the ground, making it erupt in a shower of soil. Behind it is the reeling figure of a defeated mech, parts of its armour flying free with an explosion of sparks.
A meme image of Super Sonic pointing confidently towards the viewer on a white background, and the words "New rule: never trust how you feel about your life past 9pm" written in black.
A wooden longhouse with a cruciform shape, open on the sides. Inside is lit by a warm glow, contrasting to the gloomy atmosphere outside, a rainy evening fading fast into night. Half the ground outside is paved, the rest left grassy. A stone wall encompasses it all, providing sanctuary against the foes that dog my every footstep.

An artistic depiction of the graduated vtuber, Kilia Kurayami, performing a backflip from the sea in a shower of spray. The composition is meant to resemble that of the iconic scene from the movie "Free Willy". The background is of a sea at sunset, a mixture of rich pinks, oranges, and the remnants of whites reflected darkly in the mirror of the sea. Leaning up to catch the hand of Kilia is a Buoy, her mascot. It resembles a cartoon sea urchin. Due to a joke in her community, the butt cheeks of the buoy is prominent. It is hard to see, but droplets of water hover about Kilia's face. It is hard to tell if it is sea spray or tears.
Art of the vtuber, Kilia Kurayami in a pose reminiscent of Free Willy, with one of her chat mascots, a buoy, reaching up to touch her hand. Both of them have visible buttcheeks.
The Vtuber, Mirri Saffire, riding on the shoulders of Iron Bull from Dragon Age Inquisition.
A bust of the vtuber, Amora Lumina, laughing amongst the stars.
Three impending dawn as caught from the window of a plane. Darkness gives way suddenly to a vivid red line, which cedes to orange, then suddenly to a vivid blue. It fades slowly into the void above of the dying night.
Hands holding each other, one sheathed in a navy and blue glove, backlit by a warm dusk sky.
Melon with the Tree of life carved into it
A baby watermelon, with a Celtic Knotwork tree carved into it.
A baby watermelon sits on a dashboard, backed by a rain-speckled windscreen. The car is stationary, don't worry!
A tree whose myriad trunks split right at the base, and spread across the forest floor like vines seeking something other than sunlight. A small black and white dog sits beneath its boughs, perfectly content and staring off into the distance at something other than sunlight.
A Blue Tit, perched on a stem of ivy, taken as it perches to fly off again.
A focused shot on a grouping of small, pink and white flowers on a branch. The background is blurred, but features odd amalgamations that could be trees, lit by a sky on the borders of twilight.
A view from a plane window, it is mostly an image picked out in white, grey, and a deepening blue. The sun shines so strongly as to overwhelm the picture, and the lower portion is made up of clouds, separating to give glimpses to the world below.
A setting sun peeking just over a hedge of trees, setting the sky above aflame with an iridescent pallor, the clouds breaking up the shine with weak shadows. The ground is dark, but shows a field of yellow flowers, broken only by the tracks of the tractors that tend them.
A wide tarmac road paves the way towards a bend amidst some trees leading downhill, exposing the distant horizon of fields and hills fading to blue with distance. The sky above is bordered by white shapes but a few patches of blue hold true, and the clouds themselves are glowing in the reflected light of an unseen sun. This was absolutely not taken while driving, wink wink.
A cave of reddish brown stone, brightly lit but cast in deep shadows, stalactites threatening from the ceiling in jagged rows, all reflected perfectly by a still pool beneath.
A trail in a forest overwhelmed by greenery, a single pale brown line in the undergrowth. On the right, the rusted frame of an abandoned car sits like an enormous fallen log. A black and white dog sniffs at something further along the path.
A view of a country road with tones of grey and green in prominence, the sky above intermittent cloud and clear blue, a rainbow arcs across the photo, broken only by the hedges of the roadside.
