My 2025 Art Summary

I'm still very busy as always. But I'm glad my pace has been fast enough to make more arts. There were two comics this year, eleven pages and five pages, which I selected two panels from each of them to show in the summary, of course, non monthly basis again. It's a bit surprised that most of them were made during the second half of the year. Thank you so much for you guys for your support and participation. It has always meant so much. ☺️✨

01 Under the Holiday Twilight

Inspired by the song 'Moonlit floor (Santa Baby Remix)' of Lisa, I captured an embracing scene of Ignoct during their cozy holiday evening.

02 Happy Birthday Aerith and Ignis

A celebration for the wonderful birthday twins. Drawing Aerith was pleasurable. I'd love to make more arts of her next year.

03 Can't afford to lose.

A repainting of my old work for Valentine's day. What if Noctis had a vision of Ignis bargaining for power and choosing to sacrifice his life in verse 2? I also wrote a fiction for it and posted in Ao3. I have to admit that Ignoct is my OTP. ☺️

FYI : My fiction with at least one art will be tagged as [story with art] in Ao3 and both [mneme fanfiction] and [mneme fanart] in Tumblr. My comic will be tagged as [art with story] in Ao3 and [mneme comic] in Tumblr.

04 A glaive on duty.

I made this for Nyxweek 2025, day 6 : sunset or day 7 : free day.

Making Nyx's fanart was challenging. He has several shallow wrinkles. Just some touches that made him a handsome grown-up, experienced and badass, but not old. It took me several months to make it right.

05 Happy birthday Noctis 2025

A quick painting for our king's birthday. I wish I could make a proper art of him later.

06 First time Gladnis

I made the sketch in 2023 for my mutuals then. It took me a long while to edit the sketch and color it. I wanted to deliver their expressions properly.

07 and 08 Reach

First time for FFXV remix, and I made this eleven-page Gladnis comic as a remixed of Hold onto me (when your life tears you apart) by MiraNjell. Unfortunately, none of my works got remixed. But participating was fun after all. I had a chance to draw something I had never done before such as 15-year-old Ignis in 07 and Gladiolus with strong feelings in 08.

09 and 10 Like father, like son

FFXV gift exchange event in 2025 was the gift of Eos. I made this Ignoct five-page comic for destinidestati with the recipient's original character, Spes Fausta, cameo. I drew something I had never done before too, for example, 19-year-old Prince Regis in 09. See the cameo and the look of 19-year-old Prince Noctis with his endgame hairstyle in the original post.

11 Noct, I...

I made a tribute for Episode Ignis eighth's anniversary with his heartbroken expression in canon verse ending credits, but without his visors.

12 The King's riff

Inspired by a clip in X of King Regis' face model and actor, Jon Campling, playing a guitar, I finally make a fanart of The King playing a guitar too. His Majesty looked much younger than we can remember. Perhaps this happened a couple years before the bros' journey.

In a twisted turn of fate, Nyx survived the Ring and accompanied Lunafreya on her journey to Altissia despite her constant insistance that he did not own it to anyone — not even King Regis — to do this. He'd done more than enough in service of Lucis, if the scars running along the whole of his left side is an indicator to go by — but truth to be told, Nyx wasn't sure what he would do with himself beyond duty.

She'd attempted to convince him of it several more times after that, all straight-talking and determined. The Princess, as it turned out, was a hell lot more stubborn than anyone realised. A trait easily overlooked, hidden beneath her exterior of regal bearing and well-trained composure — and one that Nyx couldn't help but picked up on amongst a myriad of other quirks Lunafreya harbored throughout their journey: for instance, the way she only snored when she was really tired, soft little sounds the existence of which she denied upon waking; or the constellations of beauty marks dotting across her face and body, like markers of treasure begging to be explored, each one a fascinating yet painfully mundane reminder of how human she was in spite of the magic burning through her, giving life to so many yet leaving none for herself.

He knew that feeling well, Nyx thought, the kind that made you feel powerful and helpless all at once, coursing through your veins and channeling at the tips of your fingers before spreading all over, warm at first, then scorching, burning you inside out — a kind of blessing and torture he would not wish on anyone else. For many years of his adulthood he'd chosen it willingly, been in control of it, even, allowed to choose when and where and how to burn.

He could not imagine what it was like for Lunafreya, living with that fire all her life, knowing one day it would reduce her to nothing but ashes.

He was angry, yes — at fate, at the Astrals and the Old Kings and Regis, at Noctis, at Lunafreya.

But mostly, he was angry at himself, watching this woman whose palms fit warm and soft in his own walk closer to her death every day with no power to stop it. They both knew had the roles been reversed, he would have done the same thing without regret — and that was what made it harder, this shared understanding of duty and responsibility, the cold hard truth of one life worth sacrificing for billion others.

It didn't mean he had to be at peace with it. Every time Lunafreya tried to hide her cough, or the tremour in her hands that made it increasingly difficult to hold her trident, he wanted to rage and scream and summon all who had a say in deciding that she was forsaken, that her sacrifice in particular was necessary to save the world.

But he could do none of that, or at the very least, not in a way that actually worthed a damn.

So Nyx stayed quiet and held Lunafreya in his arms, hoping against hope, that whatever little time she had left in this mortal world, she would not feel alone.

HBD Ardyn 2026

It's belate again this year, but I want to celebrate afterall. so I edited my own work instead. Ardyn is in his White King of Lucis attire for his birthday banquet.

[ffxvremix]

The FFXV 2026 Remix and 2026 Remix Madness are now open!

WHAT IS THE REMIX EVENT?

The FFXV Remix is an event where you recreate someone else’s FFXV content with your own interpretation. It is an event intended for people who are interested in stretching their creative muscles and playing in someone else’s sandbox. Sign up for this event because you want to create in someone else’s world, not because you want to receive anything. There are no pinch hitters, so there is no guarantee that your work will get remixed, in the end. At the end of the day, the Remix is not a gift exchange. The person assigned to your works does not have to create content you would want to consume. To quote someone back from the early beginnings of the dawn of the remix challenge, “even if you don’t like what’s done to your story, your story is still *yours* and no one can take it from you. Someone else playing with it doesn’t change the original text.”

The remix is for you if:

You want the challenge of being randomly assigned a creator's works to remix.

You're comfortable with random matching.

You meet the minimum number of works required to participate.

WHAT IS THE REMIX MADNESS EVENT?

The FFXV Remix Madness is an event where people give permission for anyone to recreate specific FFXV content with their own interpretation. Submit your own FFXV works to this event because you want to provide others with the chance to play in your sandbox. Claim prompts in this event if you’re interested in stretching your creative muscles. This is not a gift exchange. There are no matches, no pinch hitters, and no guarantee that your work will get remixed. People who claim a work for Remix Madness do not have to create content the original creator would want to consume. To quote someone back from the early beginnings of the dawn of the remix challenge, “even if you don’t like what’s done to your story, your story is still *yours* and no one can take it from you. Someone else playing with it doesn’t change the original text.” Remix Madness is a free-for-all version of the main FFXV Remix. No assignments, no matching—just remix madness using the prompt meme challenge in AO3. Remix Madness runs like a prompt meme instead of a gift exchange. You don’t need to sign up to remix someone else’s work. And there’s no word count minimum for what can be submitted for remixing—anything goes, as long as it’s complete.

Remix madness is for you if:

You don't have enough qualifying works to participate in the FFXV Remix.

You're concerned about the random matching system in the FFXV Remix.

You want to offer up a work to remix, but don't want to or aren't able to create anything yourself.

Just Making Sure

(◑‿◐)hi did you miss me have some ardyn and somnus brotherly spoof (based off Thor Ragnarok)

Bonus:

Gentiana: A reminder if you would, Your Highness. I was conversing with him a couple of moments ago before falling for your trap, and he does not seem to be learning his lessons. I suggest His Highness exercise caution lest he might injure or–

Ardyn: Kill me in the process yes, I know–he has done that on many, many occasions.

Ardyn: There was one time when we were children–he was already adept at warping–and he threw me a snake–and he knows I love snakes. So I went to pick up the snake to admire it and he dagger-warped at the snake–and he was like BLYAH IT’S ME–and he stabbed me.

Ardyn: We were eight at the time. 

Somnus: (◑‿◐)

Happy birthday Ardyn!!!

Happy (belated)3rd Anniversary FFXV!

So, I finally managed to finish this after procrastinating long enough. I got the idea ever since the novel came out, but due to my condition I ended up abandoning it halfway. Not to mention, I got addicted with Shadowbringers…

Since I don’t the book myself, I have to rely on others for translation etc. (big shout out to @higharollakockamamie for the translation they provide). Yes, I know that there are several version of the translation and tbh I don’t know which one is the most accurate. Nor that if I manage to understand them correctly. So this comic maybe more AU-ish than the novel.

There are a lot more things I want to share (my opinion on the book, the fandom, etc.); but I think this should suffice for now. Anyway, I’m real glad that at last, I’m able to post these comic that I’ve been promising to some people. I feel like were I going to die tonight, I won’t have any regrets. Please reblog this if you can, since this is probably the last ff15 comic I’ll make.

Thank you anyone for reading this <3
