I admit I didn't gpose as much as I should have, and when I did all my good pics were in a month and then I had nothing for the next 3-4. I'm not sure if it was IRL, RP, or just doing content that caused gpose to be put on the back burner so I guess a good 2026 goal would be just to have a photoset a month.

Full pictures under the cut.

January: The time my boy married for tax benefits [Vanilla]

February: The time more post-wedding pics was a thing [Crime] The emote is /embrace, just put them closer so it'd look less emote-y.

March: The time inspiration struck [Crime]

April: The time I posed my friend's chara [Crime] Friend needed some shots for a reference sheet; I went and gave them a photoshoot set. Emote is /pantomime

May: The time Escher's gremlinness was fully established [Vanilla]

June: The time I ran out of ideas [Vanilla]

July: The time I was determined to make Viera /sit work on Escher [Crime]

August: The time I made Emo Joshua [Crime] Emo Joshua is a crime in itself though. The clothes/emotes are vanilla, just that they aren't things Joshua can have because he's a free trial scrub.

September: The time Joshua raged against the machine [Vanilla]

October: The time my friends wanted to take Halloween shots [Vanilla]

November: The time I experimented with Ktisis lighting [Crime]

December: The time I went "oh no it's December 31st quick just post the last shoot I did for the gpose wrapped" [Crime] So these two can always pose in game because one is on PS5 and the other is on my PC, but I made Izzy's head turn to Joshua while doing the /gridaniansip emote and that's why it's a crime.

Overall I smudged the line between crime/vanilla since I'm BAD at posing and just tweak vanilla emotes or use glamourer for things my charas don't have, but that also reduces the number of vanilla shots I did this year. Hopefully 2026 will have more vanilla shots 🤞🏻

Happy 1st Anniversary* to the Fever Dream, now featuring a brand new adopted son, Satay ( @silentmight ) Here's to hoping Joshua can learn to live with another roommate

Izzy still looks stunning in the bridal gown, and Oudine wears the suit well, so more to come in other posts (hey it's February, if not now, when?)

Happy anniversary, @escherstrange ; long may the tax benefits continue! 🎉💐

*it seems apt that we both overlooked the actual date (2/2) and by the time we realised it, we only could reserve a date one week after - dreams are fluid and flexible

People I'd Like to Know Better

Thanks @set2zero for the tag! I'm not exactly active on Tumblr in the sense of sharing much about myself, since this was primarily my space to archive my art. But it's always good to change things up every so often.

Last Book: Luna Express by Campbell Whyte for comics, Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo for normal books.

Last Song: Origa - Cafe Vladivostok. Absolutely musically beautiful, always reminds me of a cafe by the sea; mid afternoon sun rays dancing across the cobblestone pathway outside and you're watching life go by. This is my go-to song when I need to calm the soul (had a hard day yesterday). Last Film: Wicked 2. I watch movies like, once a year in the cinema. Sorry I'm not really a movie person ^^; Last Series: Good lord I can't remember– aside from the great lack of time, I am ALSO not a TV person so uh... maybe the last ever anime I recall watching was Romantic Killer on Netflix. Salty or Sweet: Sweet. These days though, not too sweet (and that's a compliment for your desserts haha). Coffee or Tea: In recent times I drink more coffee but this is simply hard to choose because I love both ;_; Working on: Most recent batch of Jan'26 commissions, and hopefully I'd be able to draw a personal comic in time for CNY.

Also because @set2zero asked to share a character lore tidbit, why not– (excuse me for the incoming rambling)

Nata (my WoL): Seated at a secluded corner of Mosaic, Nata stares at her reflection in her coffee cup which has now gone cold. He's just a linkpearl call away, but every time she reaches up to where it sits on her ears to reach out, her hands freeze. She hasn't seen hide or tail of her favourite dragoon since their brief reunion in Hhusatahwi, and while she understands that he's earned his due rest and wants to explore the rest of Etheirys on his own terms, she misses him. A whole lot. They both know their need for indepedence for a duration of time, but the recent events of staying a tad bit too long in Solution 9 has frayed her spirit and she longs for a good, long chat with her favourite person and taking a couple of swigs until daybreak the next day. She isn't sure why she's hesitating, but for now, she downs her indecisiveness and remaining bitter coffee in one swift gulp. Satay (my alt): Was employed as a Miner retainer with the WoL, Nata until she decided to terminate his employment at the end of Endwalker (dramatic kdrama split up? lol ok not really) but it’s mostly due to her ‘holiday’ in Tural and not knowing if she’d stringently continue being so active at crafting/gathering gear. In summary, Nata encourages him to explore the rest of Eorzea and Etheirys since he’s probably got enough savings to not work for years. All that gil from crafting Indagator gear and gathering materials? Worth it :P

Not tagging anyone because I don't really know many over here, but I hope you enjoyed that small bit of random talk from me!

i know this is my art blog but sometimes i just want to share the FFXIV gposes that i like so here you go – a short otome game CG-like gpose story featuring my bunny boy! switched emotes on him while gposing and SUDDENLY i had a story in my mind, also partly inspired by me going to work at a cafe with a friend today and we shared a tiramisu as we quietly sat there, plugging away at our work for awhile.
