And how the smol model is going! I last worked on it like a month ago and it was fun. I really need to get back to it.

And how the model design is going. I changed the shape of the legs, so the socks and boots will have to be adjusted. I also reworked the bangs and I like it a lot more. I tried working on a sweater/jacket, but that hasn’t been going well so far. Oh, I changed the bloomers to be more like shorts. I was working with a Live2D artist who I commissioned for a Fable model in her style. I was doodling adjustments and we both liked the puff shorts. Unfortunately, I think that artist took off with my money :’c

Made layouts a while back but updated them today. I think I’ll make layout versions without a chat box since I don’t expect any chatters in my streams lol I really like the schedule layout /u\ I’m still so in love with Mawawiz’s commission <3 I tried to convince her of considering a vtuber model herself if she ever wants to stream in the future. Can you imagine?!

[fablewayfarer]

I finally made an overlay. It’s boring, but it’ll get the job done for tomorrow. I’ll be streaming for the first day of #FaerieFebruary!

I'm going to start posting on Tumblr again. I've missed it. And I've been feeling bad that I just keep making models without posting anything. This one is for myself. It's meant to be really simple so I can learn to rig it... but I think I might have added a lot to it already. But I think it's turning out so cute!

Wooo! Thank you so much! 💓

This might be the weirdest ask ever... but a long time ago (2011?) I used to follow your 8tracks and I can honestly say you influenced my music tastes. I'm wondering if you might have any of those playlists still available? I remember a few Halloween ones, another with a moth for the playlist cover? I'm not kidding when I say I used to listen to them on repeat constantly. Anyway, I hope you're doing well!!!

I'm glad you liked my 8tracks, wow that was so long ago! If you have Spotify, I'm there under shyizm. Sorry, I don't know how to link to it. Let me know if you can see my playlists there (there should be about 30). I made them all private when I made them, but I think I might have made them public just now; I'm not sure if it worked. I'm pretty sure most of the songs that were in my 8tracks are there somewhere 'cause they would have been some of my favorites haha

I unfortunately don't have copies to the songs anymore 'cause I couldn't fit songs on my hard drive any longer so a few years ago, I hopped on Spotify since I haven't had much trouble not finding a song I look for and I don't have to use up space to keep them on my computer.

If you can see the playlists, I recommended going though them slowly so that you enjoy them more. Fast listening can get gems to fall through the cracks before you've really let a song grow on you. That was the nice thing about 8tracks. It was little by little enjoyment. There's a lot there on the Spotify playlists, so happy listening!

I lost use of my computer for a few weeks, but a bit ago, I got new parts. Now I can continue this! More changes; combining some of my favorite parts of the previous WIPs. I haven't reinstalled PS and trying to get used to Clip Studio. 

[fablewayfarer]

Still going :’V I have definitely decided on the outfit for the left model. I will use the same body to make one for Kara. The second model was meant to be a simple version for practicing rigging on...but I kept adding. So the model on the left is my new practice one. The holo-tablet is the only other asset she is getting. I’m putting my foot down! 

[fablewayfarer]

When I first tried to create Kara in xiv, no hair suited my art of her; her hair was longer. So now with Venat's hair, I figured I'd switch but it felt wrong. I'm so used to her with the short hair now :V Vilja will have the long hair haha

Kara and Vilja; girlfriends of Eorzea ~

I may still work with the last one, but I was thinking I should start off with a much simpler model for when I get to learning the rigging. I was going to do like a sort of chibi thing to practice on buttttt I guess I don’t know how :V

[fablewayfarer]

So I didn’t like the last much, so I tried again and I never spoke about the many other sketches I did. But now I think I’m happy with the general outfit layout. Like I’ve said before, there isn’t an outfit in FFXIV that I think 100% suits Kara, so I went without an outfit that I still like after all this time. Even outside of FFXIV, Kara has always been a young practicing witch under the eye of her demon girlfriend. And the Anemos suspenders and direwolf hat gives that ffxivesque casting student vibe without looking to Scholary and more out in the field. So I’m pretty happy now. I did still take some liberties with the outfit such as the gold clasp was turned into a huge wooden button. The Brand New Skirt is undyable but I’ve made it darker. Kara is wearing the High Summoner’s Boots. She doesn’t always wear glasses, it was meant more for the model on the left, but when Kara isn’t wearing a hat in game, I tend to throw some glasses on her.

The model on the left was when I was considering giving up on making Kara for a while as the no-outfit situation was frustrating me so much. I thought I would just draw myself as if I actually looked nice. But now that I’m happy with Kara, I’ll put the left model on the back burner. If I ever get back into livestreaming, it would make more sense to use Kara since I’ve lately been focusing on FFXIV so much in my art.

I can’t wait to finally get started on painting. Then cutting with be a headcase I’m sure. Then rigging will be a whole knew thing to learn and cry over. But I’m excited in a way I haven’t been in a long time!

[fablewayfarer]

Man, I'm slow but it's going. I really can't wait to get to painting her. 

I tried one more time to get this dress going, but I’m still not completely happy. If I’m still not happy, I’ll go with the Hraesvelgr top. But I won’t be completely happy if I got that way either :’V I don’t feel any outfit in xiv suits Kara perfectly. The Nier sets come close but then it just feels like she’s cosplaying. So I hope I can make her something I think suits her haha

Also, that mask is a really low level drop that I just never kept around because it’s ARR old. But I got it again few months back and I love it so much. I’ve been using it on all Kara’s darker glams <3333 My brother thinks the mask is ugly. He’s wrong. I’m upsetti that the BLU mask doesn’t fit well around fem miqote’s eyes. I want a good one for DoM.

Kara’s Halloween outfit she hasn’t gotten out of all week. Also, I’ve just learned how to do the big macro stuff and it has de-cluttered my UI so much!
