She's known to be proud every now and then.

(Don't worry about the axe. Just gender her correctly and you'll be fine.)

day 19 - "return"

Much like everyone else, she occasionally dreams of impossible things.

vanilla gpose challenge 3: "pastel"

Tried out some of the vanilla gpose tools I wasn't aware of for this one! i actually had never realized there was a sticker button until @sisitosito mentioned it and i was like "i can add stickers???"

So this time i used a few of those, as well as soft focus and a vignette. Also Melin's wearing a completely different shade of green than she ordinarily does. Real adventurous gpose right here, even if it doesn't look it. Melin's so cutes.

day 29 - "discovery"

Turns out she wasn't bragging when she said she could lift any of the Scions. Thancred really shouldn't have bet her she couldn't.

(1 more day!)

day 30 - "endless"

Her wanderlust might only be inherited... but what does it matter?

There are 30 images here, one for each day of April!

They also stitch together into a coherent looping gif of her running, but it's a very quickly flashing image (and there's a 30 image limit), so it's in a private post, which you can find riiiiiiiight here.

Further commentary below the cut.

I've really enjoyed doing Lalapril! This has been a really fun way to brush up on the different tools available and share some of my ideas about Melin, as well as see other people's cool and cute Lalafell! There's some stuff I wanted to do and didn't manage to work in, but I'll talk about that on a separate post, I think. Besides, it's not like I have to stop doing gpose stuff now that the month's over, right?

Who'd've thought a thing I picked up so I could take slightly more verisimilitudinous (real word btw) screenshots for a fic I wrote would become a thing I enjoy in and of itself!

Anyway, good month! Thanks to everyone who thought my little pictures were cool or cute or funny or emotionally affecting.

Here, just to make the post longer, I'll list where each image is from:

Central Shroud, Lower La Noscea, Central Thanalan

Coerthas Central Highlands, Mor Dhona, Ishgard

Coerthas Western Highlands, The Sea of Clouds, The Dravanian Forelands

The Churning Mists, The Dravanian Hinterlands, Azys Lla

The Fringes, Kugane, Yanxia

The Azim Steppe, The Peaks, The Lochs

The Crystarium, Kholusia, Amh Araeng

Il Mheg, The Rak'tika Greatwood, The Tempest

Old Sharlayan, Thavnair, Garlemald

Mare Lamentorum, Elpis, Ultima Thule

(No Dawntrail areas, since I actually hadn't started Dawntrail as of taking these.)

Thanks for reading my long and somewhat self-indulgent post-mortem on this project! See you around!

here is a really dumb joke in the form of a diagram of what these characters have in common. i'll explain any of these if asked

post-dawntrail night 3 notes:

tonight i was really bored so instead of enjoying the wonderful story that's available for me to play any time i want i decided to spend like forty minutes making this really dumb joke and now i'm tired

(all lore for tiisol ja is speculative and will probably be decanonized by her custom deliveries, given my luck with these sorts of things)

joined the shadowbringers walk across etheirys! saw a bunch of people i recognized but haven't spoken to before and met a bunch of really cool new people too! hopefully i didn't talk everyone's ear off about how much I like melin... I loved hearing about everyone else's characters and opinions on the game too! i'm still fairly new to it overall and my experiences are colored by how things are on dynamis, so it's cool to meet people who are more experienced with the game and who have different takes on stuff than I do! i'll definitely be back for the next!

here's some of my screenshots:
