More flowers, irl this time:

The one-ish week where my mom's peony-ish plant graces us with blooms \o/

wisteria

More garden shots because I'm excited about my commission. Also dove into playing with DOF settings in reshade but that screenshot didn't save??

In other news, am sick and it sucks.

Noticed some nice morning light while crafting in my garden:

crystal tower - 2

Previous progress.

Done the distant mountains! I was initially conflicted about the running stitch pattern for the mountains, but it looks better once its complete. I do want something lowkey as to not distract from the more important elements in this scene.

I was also working on the bridge in the foreground, and never expected it would be the thing to give me trouble (am still too scared to start all the french knotting for my trees). Tried 6 strand which was too thick, then 3 strand which is a good size but my stitches were way too lopsided, and then when the prespective was finally correct (after doing the guidelines visible in the photo above), I felt that each stitch was too loose and that I should probably break the width into 2 stitches. So everything got ripped out 4 times "orz

It would not be me if I didn't spend some a lot of time gposing in the new locations.

Not a new location but I was literally thinking the broken brands is a nice backdrop to get a series of images with each of my job's hades weapon glam, then boom we fix the brands and they're a different color now ;o; 

Thirteenth's moon is perfect for rpr glam:

Never missing a chance to see Azem's magic circle, I do like that we're using it more frequently:

Was not expecting a new entrance for p9-12, but then again I was nto expecting a lot of the development. P11 is the best raid fight ever, soooo much feels. 

The Dark Thorn

 6.4 is a great patch, building on the slightly disjointed 6.3 msq while setting the stage for 6.5, and most importantly holy the raid story conclusion. Is Lahabrae my second favourite unsundered being now?? Why does he say a stupidly cool line at parting just like Emet-Selch did ;o;

My resolve shall weather loss unfathomable, and yield before no obstacle. Walk your path with the seem conviction

Other quotations, from msq:

No matter where my comrades go, I have faith they will be fine. For I know that they will walkk their chosen path as surely as I walk mine.(Thancred ;o;)

We are the chain that connects generations past and future. You and I its links. Help us, Lord Mettius, for all we have been and for what we may yet become. (Jullus, a nice parallel to Louisoix's quotation)

from now on, by my side will be the most comfortable spot

One line of this song was stuck in my head for several days and I just could not rmb where it was from ;o;
