Art of Dragonflies Dreaming

Welcome stranger! Thank you so much for visiting my art channel! I'm a design student with dreams of being an illustrator. Here I showcase my completed works, WIPs, and fanart. I'm always looking to improve my works and art style, so constructive criticism is welcomed and very much appreciated.

So many of you asking how I color and draw the kids ! I just picked some old ask that I saved a long time ago. I hope this helps!

oh hey new guide thinggg~ some basics on how to practice! there’s SO much I could add to this, so it’s just the basics :O

short (kind of): there’s more to practice than doing something repeatedly, it’s also learning new things, problem solving, and honest critique. Each of those is its own skill…also be nice to yourself!

Dear Yaya, I have been trying to find a small community to RP with, but Balmung is far away and abandoning my Free Company is not an option. In all honesty, I'm a bit shy when approaching others outside of my close-knit friend group, and I very very rarely see anyone set to RP status on my home server of Diabolos. Do you have any ideas? Thank you kindly for your time! - Zura

Dear Zura,

I’ve actually had a question like this in the past! Really when it comes to making a community for RP on a new server the most important thing is to make a post to gauge interest. Nothing can be accomplished until interest is established. So what I would suggest doing is making a post about RP on Diabolos, and see if you can get some interest from other people on the server. Don’t just post it on tumblr though. Places like Reddit are massive for the FFXIV community, and it will likely be more viewed that way.

However, steel yourself. You’ll get trolls, you’ll likely get told off at least once for wanting to bring roleplay to a server where roleplay isn’t as widely found. Unfortunately the ignorance of people is one of the reasons it’s a lot harder to start up these kinds of things. 

Once you’ve gathered interest try and put together a small rp event!~ It doesn’t have to be anything major, just a fun event to help show people that Roleplay is more than just ERPing in a corner for shits and giggles. In that lies your second block, a lot of people associate RP with ERP and it usually is the reason RPers are looked down upon.

Keep positive! If you take the right steps I’m sure you’ll have a small community built up in no time!

With lots of Love and Support,

Yaya~!

Birthday present commission for the lovely Ivan Novich on Diabolos ~

To the artists:

I found this page here: https://artistsnclients.com/ I know many use tumblr as their main outlet for getting commissioned, but this looks like a good place to give a shot if you’re not already aware of it!

Have done, got a couple on the way, it’s very streamline!
