I am still here... sort of

[iamfangu]

Walking into various fan spaces bc new ship sparking new fic interest. Makes a few documents for ideas, looks around in fan spaces, drabbles a bit, ... ........

Currently outlining a fucking sequel to fucking Ally: Life instead. And I'm like, giddy. For writing a continuation of a story that's barely gained any traction or had any feedback or is asking for a continuation like. At all.

30k? word sequel >>> 1500 word new ship fic

I just feel so at home in that universe. So comfortable.

But still, like, what the actual fuck xD

ohai

is jus me

Not writing much these days, still enjoying XII but more from a speedrunning angle, watching people break the game in various ways. It’s fun.

I am no longer in my thirties. I turned 40 a few months ago. To be fair 35 and 40 isn’t that much different.

Still a developer.

I have a horse nao. He’s cute.

Hope you’re having a good day.

October 29th is too far away. Glad I still have my PS3.

What do you think of Penelo x Larsa?

It’s been a long time since I responded to an ask on Tumblr, so I’m not sure I’m doing this right... in other words this might be a private response. lol. I guess it doesn’t matter anyway.

With the x I assume a romantic ship? Well, aside from the fact that they’re both kids, and the fact that a romantic public relationship would never work due to differences in class (although there’s a lot of headcanon potential in that, just as with Basch/ Ashe), I’ve always enjoyed their dynamics. The scene in the drawing room in Ondore’s estate is one of my favourite scenes in XII. The two of them come from completely different worlds, but because of their youth, they approach each other with no prejudice, just plain wonder. That scene demonstrates Larsa’s honour and grace, plus it also says something about Penelo’s deep set respect for anyone above her in social rank.

I believe that when Basch was set to be the lead in XII, before there was no Vaan, Penelo and Larsa were to have a lot more screen time, and their relationship was to have more screentime. The core is still there, though.

Daily Bust 59 - Fran

To be perfectly honest, I was really unhappy with the drawing of Fran I did yesterday, so I drew her again.

I noticed my art going off in a direction I wasn’t really liking, so this is my attempt to get back on course.

I can’t believe Tumblr removed the “reply” feature. Not just removing the option to do it, but it appears they purged all your old replies as well. So I’m looking at a post with 9 notes and there’s... 5 likes. And I know that post had some conversation going on and if there were reblogs I’d still be able to see them.

Meh.

Also, hi :)

Fran & Balt.

Hello, I am a student of arts and I am currently researching about game art. I've been able to trace a some real islamic ornaments used in Ivalice, but I've been needing the Ultimania Omega for more deep research. So I notice your Novella scan is pretty good in high quality, can you tell me if there's a way I can get scans for the whole book, Ultimania Omega? Where can I find it? Otherwise, if you have these scans, can you make it avaliable for download?

Hey, sorry for the terribly late reply, I’m not on Tumblr much these days, especially now that Tumblr decided to change the public tag interface -_- 

Thanks for asking.I’m yet to find a full scan of the Ultimania Omega online, which is why I decided to purchase it myself. The thing is huge though, several hundred pages, so I’m not going to scan the whole thing as that would take me countless hours I don’t have to spend. If you had specific page numbers, I could find the time to scan them. But the problem here is you need the whole thing, which sadly I can’t give you. 

If anyone knows of a full or partial scan, please do let me know so I can reblog it for Anon :)

She is Finally done.. This is by far the most Complex work I have ever made, it even surpasses the Large Crysalis I had made before. Mateus is a Character out of Final Fantasy XII. In that game Mateus is the Armor like structure you see, However. I Based this crossover on the Goddes Mateus traps, So this Custom is actually a She. However as she has no name  I still call this Custom Mateus. Anyway! Mateus has been planned out months ago, when I received an updated version on the clunky mateus I drew a few years back. I originally struggled with planning the mane. As I had a very pretty material that just refused to work with me in many ways, so Eventually I settled on normal fabric. Handled with a Fabric hardener called ’ Paverpol’ Which I also used to make the frozen lake, As it dries out transparent. The pillars of Ice are Gemstones, Quarts. It was really fun to work with that for the first time, as I have a diamond edged saw tool on my Dremel, The base is wooden, edged with hobby grass, and snow. All Details have been sculped into the Polymorph, instead of just painted on like I’d usually so. Thus One wing took about 8 hours alone, plus an hour of painting. but in the end it was well worth it all. It even has a literal Crown Jewel, I do not reference at the Quarts in the base. but at the Grain of a genuine Diamond in its crown. I hope you all Like it as much as I do.

This is a MUST read if you are a fan of FF XII and if you’re not it’s still worth checking out. It’s fascinating to learn about the effort it took to bring the game to English speaking audiences and how carefully the voice actors were selected.
