my first piece of art for 2024 everyone
Would you guys be mad at me if I said that not only is my MapleStory fixation that's been haunting me for well over a decade at this point back but I'm also letting go of shame. I love my fuckass Barbie pink Kaiser dressed up like Angelic Buster and his fuckass. Whatever the HELL is going on with Magnus. Whatever. Go kiss while you kick the shit out of each other. This has been brewing within me for a solid year at the minimum it can no longer stay in the box.
Fuck it. Birdposting. Everyone say hi to Ferdinand's bird daughter he was forced to adopt post-endwalker. Her name is Elegeia. She's a lil phoenix. She's deeply Pollyanna by Catherine Warwick and Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants coded. Bird up. Cringe is dead.
She's one of the many Meteia that made up the Endsinger. In my canon after the Endsinger was vanquished all the birds were able to shed their despair and regain individuality and their color and they all flew off into space. Imagine the end scene of FFX with all the pyreflies but its rainbow birds
I consider her an older sister to the Meteion (and by extension, the rest of the Meteia) we meet in Elpis, as Elegeia was made as a prototype of sorts by Hermes and (my) Azem before Hermes took the bird in the divorce and created her sisters. She was made to basically be an ESA, but still succumbed to despair with her sisters. After she was freed from despair she saw Ferd's dead body and was like "damnnnnn Azem looks more washed up than I remember" and then convinced him + the scions that she could be trusted with sharp objects. She's been hanging around Marimo too much.
I love her idgaf if making a meteion/meteia/whatever oc is considered cringe or smth. i think we need more weird birdgirls. do what you want always forever. me and my wild ass ferdiefantasy xiv wol lore.
i'll make her webpage on my oc website eventuallysoon i just need to finish drawing the header for the webpage. which im drawing myself instead of using a stock photo or xiv screenshot or smth like i normally do because i couldnt find anything on unsplash that fit the vibe and pinterest/google images is full of Slop and I Don't Use Slop. please look forward to it
sometimes a family is a four eyed goat from hell, a bat from a frat house, and their adopted dead victorian catgirl daughter
First Art Fight attack of the year o7
Characters belong to me and my friend Opossum-Tongue on AF
Me when I drop dungeons and dragons shrimp Gundam art just to go vanish for another several months
the blorbo to start off my art upload (in which i will upload like none of it because theres a lot but wherever I go i feel obligated to make people look at Him)
Since everything else is going to shit I guess maybe it's time to bite the bullet and slink back here like my internet ancestors would've wanted.
Slowly but surely I'll work on posting everything and sorting myself out on this hellsite, but in the meantime:
Hi! You can call me Ferdie, I am mostly an oc artist (which I know will make my life harder here but I don't have the ability to care at this point!) who enjoys FFXIV and Dungeons and Dragons a little bit too much. I am also currently going through a Hollow Knight phase. Send help.
I mostly just exist to draw my silly little fictional characters, play copious amounts of DnD, and complain about raiding in FFXIV.
