day 29 - "discovery"

Turns out she wasn't bragging when she said she could lift any of the Scions. Thancred really shouldn't have bet her she couldn't.

(1 more day!)

my partner's experience modding melin has gotten me thinking about veita's body in a narrative sense, i think, were i to design her visually with intent again, she'd be skinny through endwalker or so, at first because she's pretty poor and skimps on meals to keep herself afloat, and later on because she's willfully depriving herself over a sense of guilt for the people she's lost. it's really only after the events of endwalker that she gets a few moments to sit down, process things, and start to heal, and that's when she gets chubby and stacked, because she doesn't carry nearly as much guilt for the loss of people whose deaths she couldn't have prevented. still carries some guilt but i think that'd be unavoidable.

VICTORY!!!

Figured it out. Perfectly symmetrical scar + shoulder freckles. (The scar is from her final battle with Zenos, so I guess he swung directly up the center of her torso with his scythe. What a jerk.)

The scar:

The freckles:

They're a little subtle, but I think that's good. The freckles on her face are also pretty subtle.

I also experimented with giving the scar a normal map so it'd be lit slightly differently, but everything I tried made a big obvious seam down the middle of the scar, so I abandoned that.

I also tested out tan lines and decided against those as well. Maybe some other time.

(Btw, this is just an edit of the vanilla textures. I'm sure it could look better with higher-res textures or on a body mod, but eh, I didn't really feel like messing with all that at this exact moment.)

Anyway, she is so cute and these make her even cuter. Worth the effort. Also none of this is going to show up in Evercold at all since she'll be wearing heavier clothes. Whatever, I'll know it's there.

(sighs heavily) it's fine... one ilm isn't that much of a difference... and just because i said the wound was six ilms long doesn't mean the scar can't be five ilms long... one ilm could've been shallower than the rest... i will not go back in and change the texture just to add one inch onto her scar... i will not go back in and change the texture just to add one inch onto her scar...

listen, i understand why fluffier fur mods are not really a thing for hrothgar. i don't understand why expanded fur mods are limited to seemingly two mods for body type 1 exclusively, but whatever. but why are so many of you afraid of your hrothgar being a big fucking kitty cat.

me, 2 weeks into playing ffxiv: i dont respect any of these mfs whose names i cant even remember. i will probably uninstall later when i get bored

me, half a year into ffxiv: ok so the botanist questline in which the farmers at camp cloudtop get accused of heresy for infiltrating a non native crop into the country was PROBABLY a cover for house dzemael wanting to cause further stress on house haillenarte bc by destabilizing them, (the weakest link) this means house fortemps (powerhouse but kind of against the holy sees policies) will also be weakened by default. and fortemps controls the literal entry point to ishgard. its dangerous if they ever rebeled or revolted bc that can cut off ishgard from the rest of the continent. so it makes sense that the church would want them to have less influence or power overall, using house dzemael to do so bc we later know that house dzemael were the ones that tipped the fucking church abt the fucking vegetables. and house dzemael is the only house with active members that belong to the heaven's ward (grinnaux, violent guy whose murders were covered with coin & paulcrain, formerly of house fortemps. coincidentally the mfs who also arrest alphinaud and tataru of heresy)

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

for tuii? her eyes probably, when i first made her her eyes were dark blue, then i had one of them go purple as she started to become more associated with lightning, i fell in love with this look

but due to the light plague her hair and eyes were bleached pale white, originally i had meant this to be temporary but her white cat like eyes were so striking i fell in love immediately

i still often call back to the purple era with her clothes and her glasses, but white is a good color on her

OC ask #7 for Tuii! I love her look and I'm curious which part (or parts) stand out to you!

Her tattoos!

tuii is a big believer in tattoos with meaning, so all of her tattoos are representative of something

she has tattoos like raha that she got when she joined the students of baldesion officially

when she became an archon she put her mark on her hands, as it was distinct and representative of her working with her hands as an engineer

her face tattoo represents her connection to machinery, as well as her connection to azem, it has parts taken from the azem summoning circle
