Marlon'to Menai [FFXIV]

I needed a sideblog for all my FFXIV escapades! Marlon is my catboy on the Balmung server. He has Magitek legs and a spicy temper. Sometimes NSFW. about marlon | #art tag | my main art blog

Velen Antares and I are happy to announce the opening of doors for our inn and tea house, The Barking Crow, as an open RP location for any and all who wish to bring their patronage! Enjoy the exotic pleasantries of the East right in the comfort of La Noscea. Visit for some evening tea or spirits, lounge in our downstairs smoking room and bath house, and retire for the evening in one of our many rooms available for rent. 

 We are also incredibly fortunate to say that we can provide service to both Balmung and Mateus. No matter where you might call your RP home, we hope you feel welcome within our doors to hold RP events, meet other RPers, or just chill and people watch. Our goal is to give back to both amazing RP communities! 

 Future details, menu, and event announcements to come!

Rumour has spread in the streets of Mor Dhona of the return of the Black Lotus, a crime syndicate known throughout Othard. The Doman merchants spin tales of this clandestine organisation that existed in Othard for countless ages, working in the underbelly of organised crime, providing services to whoever would provide the highest price. Extortion, money laundering, smuggling, assassination and black market trading are amongst the list of services the Black Lotus provided to the public. The Black Lotus will do almost anything criminal for the right price. 

The Black Lotus has arrived in Eorzea and is now ready to open their Black Market store and Somnus Den to the criminal public. For those interested in crime rp or getting their hands on some rare exotic goods, we will be hosting an open rp night for people to use our somnus den or trade at our black market store. This event is spread via word of mouth within criminal circles. The advertisement is ooc.

Where: Plot 6, Ward 6, The mists. The Front company of the Black Lotus Syndicate is Valeriol Industries, a magitek engineering and research company. 

When: Sunday, September 4th. 8 p.m EST til Midnight. 

What you can expect: Our Somnus Den is an underground room while our Black Market Store is upstairs, warded off from the public except on select nights. The store trades in Exotic Othard poisons, potions, wildlife and herbs, prohibited magitek. illegal drugs and other oddities. 

IC Rules: No Fighting, violence or threats. The open nights act as neutral ground for all. Any disruptions will be dealt with swift removal.

OOC Rules: While the Black Lotus is open to plots involving other criminal or authoritative organisations, this is event is for rp and networking purposes. 

Any Questions? Please get in contact with Kira Shinoda in game. 

Art credit goes to the lovely and talented Ratio (tumblr pending). To learn more about the Black Lotus or apply to join us please visit our website.

I know I’ve been on a hiatus since about when Heavensward dropped, but I’ve been playing again under Marlon’to’s little sister, Ratio, who happens to be part of this Valeriol Industries. I drew this for our event which I’ll be at, so I hope to see some people there! <3

Hi Marlon! My FFXIV blog is olvidovanir and I wanted to ask you if I can link to your artwork for one of my housing tips, because you inspired me for a specific area in my FC house, and I wanted to say so. If you don't mind I wanted to put a link to your tumblr and to the specific drawing I took the inspiration from. Would that be okay? Also, you are awesome X3

Ahhh of course!! Please do, I’d love to see it when you post!! 

[marlon-ffxiv]

B 9 Marlon'to! Pwetty pulease! ; )

This was a fun one, kinomari!! I wonder what’s got Marlon’to so terrified…

[whoatess]

I drew this a while ago for my silly FFXIV character but I’m sooooo ready for Heavensward! Must…finish…work…first…

[marlon-ffxiv]

Hey look at this former corpse Marlon'to bought once.

[fayren]

I know it’s been a long time coming, but I finally have my artbook available to purchase online! Unfortunately as of right now, I can only sell and ship domestically to the US. If you were one of the original people who preordered through me while I DID promise to ship internationally and you are still interested – drop me an email and I will try to see if we can arrange something. 

But here’s the nitty gritty details on the book!

BOOK INFORMATION

$35

Softcover

70 pages (50 full color illustrations, 14 of sketches)

Matte cover with UV spot coat, glossy interior

Includes free 8 x 11" signed print (randomly selected)

Signed! Leave a comment if you would like it made out to someone specific. 

>> CLICK HERE TO BUY! <<

I apologize to those who preordered from me so long ago – my original plans fell through and things got so delayed I didn’t want to hold anyone to the commitment, especially since I personally met so many eventually buying books from me at conventions. You have my sincerest apologies! I hope to put together a new book this year, so your support for this book will be going into making that a reality! Thank you all for your constant kind words and support, it really does mean the world to me. 

[marlon-ffxiv]

Hey guys who follow my little Marlon blog -- I actually have an art book! It’s full of monster boys and robots, yes, but it also has a lot of old doodles from games I’ve played in the past like GW2 and SWTOR. You can check out my main art blog for a sample of the kind of stuff that would be in it! Funds from this will go into putting together a new art book (probably with a fair amount of FFX|V stuff in it.... )!

Excuse me, I am not an avocado on a surfboard, I am a fucking fluffy bee riding a tablet pen. 

This is pretty much a self portrait, and the silhouettes are ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ALIKE.
