A picture of Lexi doing a salute to the camera wearing green dual shade eyeshadow with silver hair and a blue jacket over a black shirt. The title of the picture reads, "Lexi's #TTRPGWrapped for 2025". There are four categories also on the photo that read, "Games I Loved", "Games I Wanted To Play", "Actual Plays I Loved", and "Games That Left Lasting Impressions", with an hand drawn arrow pointing downward, inviting the viewer to keep scrolling.

Yall, Wildsea is so slept on and it’s so damn good.

You play as various kinds of people and or big insect or plant people on ships with chainsaws on them that drag themselves across the massive canopies of constantly regrowing world trees.

Nobody has seen the ground for a century or so.

A green-colored moth girl held aloft by golden threads. A geometric weave surrounds her. Original Character - Zatza, a mothryn anchored mesmer from a game of Wildsea.

Slowly understanding Procreate. Decided to go with my comic-leaning style and draw my girl Zatza for my first illustration!
Went a little overboard with the different brushes and effects, but it was fun!

Will try my painting style next.
