Niko's first expressions by the oh so talented Honor. I plan to commission Thor, Grey, Kasper, and Alex as well but slowly as to not overwhelm them. lol Wanted some emoji for the FC discord and with all the chibis I'm working on atm and my busy week figured I'd commission out!

Thank you Honor! They turned out fantastic. xo

I only managed one sketch at the art party, and couldn't get it colored in a way I liked, but it was a good learning experience! I think this is like the second thing I've ever drawn on my tablet, so I'm not beating myself up over it too much. I'm gonna keep practicing!

Pic of @elliewiltarwyn , who is just incredible. Thanks @aces-and-kings and @humblemooncat for getting everything together!

Got a couple gremblins out of my drawing hand today, hope you enjoyed them @sae-mian & @vasheden!

And a BIG thank you to everyone who came out and joined us today! I'm glad you guys graced us with your presence, and I'd love to do this again sometime!

And a bigger thank you to @aces-and-kings for co-hosting and coming up with the idea in the first place! Thanks for helping this come to life! <3

Expect a couple more sneaky sketches/linearts to pop up later. I love drawing gremblins but I also wanna draw y'all proper. :3c

This afternoon!

Rank 16 achieved (love the cozy cabin now ngl). Just another milestone in my "achieve as much pre-7.0, pre-7.0" journey.

Meanwhile I managed 6 chibis in 3 days in preparation for the art party but my arm might fall off after, and Texas continues to be a new level of hell. So my pc time has been spotty. FC is going fantastic though! We will be opening more recruitment spots once we have our plot. The crew we have now is helping build a solid foundation. I can't say enough about how awesome everyone is honestly.

This concludes my update. Happy Creating!

New outfit! Rinkah’s getting a job on a sea and sky ship, and I wanted her to look the part.

Just a reminder this is this weekend! A quick note because I've been asked a lot. You do NOT have to be in the discord to attend. If you'd like to show up in game and just hangout with fellow artists go right ahead! Alternatively if you'd rather just sit in the discord and listen in on tips / chat / watch streams that is also fine! No pressure either way. Happy Creating!

My FFXIVSwap gift(s) for @aces-and-kings! I originally intended to only do the FFBE-style sprite of their character Thor, but since it's technically an edit, he gets a portrait as well.

Original sizes + An effect version of the sprite below the cut. Flashing light warning for the gif.

I decided on a lightning effect as Thor was stated to enjoy storms, and it goes well with the pirate aesthetic.The effect has transparency effect and tumblr doesn't support APNG, thus the reason for the background.

[aces-and-kings]

@wyrmwinds thank you again! This is the most unique and cool thing I've ever seen of him!

Damn. Just, so rad! I cannot thank you enough.

[aces-and-kings]

As a result of personal circumstances in real life, I will be unavailable on Tumblr for an indefinite period. However, I intend to maintain my involvement in my in-game activities and personal engagements on discord. Consequently, the lack of future posts / content should be attributed to this absence. Thank you for your understanding and happy creating / adventuring etc.!

I am able to check in here and there now, but between in-game, rp, art etc very busy. Best way to reach me is discord.
