SO SORRY FOR THIS TAKING FOREVER OMG anyway hiii! ^^ Lightning here! I know its been a while since scratch got blocked for me but I recently hit 500 followers and finally locked in to finish the art! This was originally meant to be a DTIYS but I spent too long on it and made it really detailed so it’s just a celebration drawing now! Since this is laid out like an art dump, I won’t make the intro too long but I just wanna say how much I love you guys and all the people who have been here since day 1 and even my old account! Y’all mean so much to me and I truly can not thank you enough for all the love over the years. It really makes my day to get a comment or even just a heart. To all my mini mapletufts out there, thank you again so much for everything! <33 Quick description of the art: It’s just my girlie Riya in Dragonspine (my favorite place in genshin) making a heart with me, the creator! 1-5: finished art + background I took forever on 6: new time record for a drawing :sob: 7: reference for background I found on google 8: myself I used for riya pose reference 9: photo of my hand 10-18: photos I’ve sent of me drawing over the last few weeks to friends 19: meme I made of how riya has taken over my life and is the reason for half my problems 20-26: my Halloween costume that I never posted yet because I forgot lol. That’s all my energy has allowed me to draw rn! I’m hoping to try and make some holiday art again like last year but unfortunately this may be the holiday art since I think I’m gonna be on a cooldown until 2026. Love you guys so much and until next time! - Lightning Credits Art: @-Lightningstorm background referenced from google image included inside Thumbnail: random knightlight meme I found on hoyolab Oc/Design: Riya owned and designed by @-Lightningstorm Music: Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood (also possible riya character theme made by my friend on suno inside the project but idk it’s kinda long)
