I finally got my Ignis Calendar 2020 by the very talented @hinoe-0 🙇
This is the whole thing, with lovely postcards and a note because I am a sucker for handwritten notes 💕💕💕
The design was pretty cool, you can change the side photo as you want. I didn’t try flipping everything at once so I just chose the one I liked best and uhm, here. Ignis with a kitten, two of my most favorite things 💘💝👇
I still can’t believe it’s here. I’m so pumped up for 2020, especially with this beautiful boi. 😍😍😍
OK that’s it for now while I go cry in a small corner at how beautiful this whole thing is. Thank you so much @hinoe-0-san! 💖💖💖
I had birthday money and no immediate emergencies around the time a lot of print places had holiday sales, and I wanted to get geeky stuff for whenever I actually get a wall to hang it all on. What more explanation do you need?
Uh... technically a little of this artwork contains potential spoilers for FFXV so... come back and see the pretty after you play it, right?
Okay, fine, so these were gifts, but still worthy of being featured for obvious reasons.
To the left, we have @stylishchocobutt‘s “Walk Tall, My Son”. Available both through Redbubble and Etsy. I am definitely going to make a purchase myself in the future, because every piece is a mood in and of itself and it’s... so much more beautiful in person than a picture can capture.
To the right, @crimson-sun‘s astonishingly infamous FFXV Tarot Deck. Which I... understand recently sold out and didn’t manage to make it past Patreon to the general public because it was just too awesome. Here’s hoping for a second run in the future maybe..? They’re so worth it. So beautifully, elegantly, excruciatingly worth it.
On the upper left is @schalakitty‘s Kings of Lucis notebook, once available in her Etsy shop, but it sold out in under 24 hours and I got the last one, geez. ...That said I have it on good authority that there may be a possibility of another run in the near-ish future. Stay tuned to Tumblr, etc. It is awesome and it hurts. My pain book.
On the lower left we have @glas-onion‘s “Galdin Quay Sunset”, available through Redbubble. One of those “really loved it since I first saw it” types of pieces and... well, here it is. Take that, past me.
And all over the right side, @kingcael stuff, available in many forms at Redbubble. I mean. Resistance, futile. I wanted all the boys and Seph, and the only way to do that with my budget was postcards... which turned out a million times nicer than I expected and really capture the watercolor qualities beautifully, so yay to all of it.
And this has been a must-have for way too damn long, by @numinoceur in another life, and reblogged to here. Acquired from Redbubble, I got the medium print with the metallic finish, which sadly just looks like glare in the picture but I assure you it’s shiny. (And yes, yes I know it’s an ancient bit of art, but I loved it since I first saw it and now I have it okay. And it’s sparkly.)
The first opportunity I had, I jumped on getting a @merwild piece. And of course Tumblr refuses to tag that properly, but this piece kinda just... attached itself to me. Available from Redbubble, and I had to. I just had to.
This lovely piece of pain is by @fayren. I was initially roped in by beautiful Transformers art, and then clearly that took a turn into this clear obsession, which got to me immediately. Available from Tictail, and it’s truly as lovely and vibrant as it looks. And, well, full of pain.
I was so happy to see that @hinoe-0 would be offering prints. It was a very difficult decision as to which to choose, but ultimately this one got to me most. Peaceful happy sleep-over, and the color is so incredibly vibrant in person. Available on Society6.
Finally, this beautiful pride statement from @cinnamontoastensketches. Just. This. I can’t even... express... It’s so good and accidentally aligning with headcanons so come on. Available as a mug from Society6, but there’s a wealth of other products which are also amazing. A pillow. A bathmat. A tote bag. These are all wonderful things, but as I needed to replace my old mug anyway, this came at just the right time. It’s also, uh. Lighter than my old mug, which... I did not think would make a difference but it totally does and that’s kind of really important for those sore hand from working the night before mornings.
They finally arrived! This was a birthday treat for myself, so I was really happy to find it in the mail. Thank you, @hinoe-0! Your art always brings a smile to my face! 😊
My Ignis pillow came in!! So comfy oh my gosh~ A giant thanks to the phenomenal artist @hinoe-0 for creating such a masterpiece and for putting it on Society6 for me 😍 I’m extremely excited to receive my stickers and more so to buy even more from this wonderful person!
[[ words cannot describe how happy I am when I visit Hinoe-0's deviantart and see the number of favorites for her Ezio and Catwoman commission, as well as the number of people who have fallen in love with this crossover pairing! Hopefully it inspires fanart and fanfics for me to reblog on here someday! ]]
