I'm an artist from Italy, and I work with digital media. I specialize in illustration and character design.
I'm also a FFXIV Gpose enthusiast, and I write fanfic for my OCs in my free time.
And well, in this blog you can find stuff I create, which is usually either about my TTRPG OCs or my FFXIV OCs.

FFXIV
I've been playing FFXIV since its original launch in 2010. I'll happily tell details of the story of the two characters I play to anyone who will listen to me, through gposing, art and writing.
Wilan Serulia
Wilan hails from a small island off the coast of La Noscea. The fisherman's life, however, never appealed to him, his gaze ever pointed beyond the horizon, his traveler's heart aching to explore the world.
Fate had other plans for the fledgling adventurer, however. Hydaelyn chose Wilan as her Champion, her Warrior of Light, and he's been slowly buckling under the growing weight of the many responsibilties placed on his shoulders.

Delen Aldanea
Born in a Garlean-occupied Terncliff, Delen grew up under imperial dictatorship until Eorzea's champion killed Gaius van Baelsar in combat, when she managed to escape while the colonies under his command scrambled to re-establish order.
After reaching the shores of Eorzea as a refugee, the Werlytian girl was taken in by the very same Warrior of Light who felled the Black Wolf, who gave her a place to stay. Free at last but still stuck in her traumas, in Limsa she would meet a friend who would slowly but surely help her move forward with her life and enjoy what her newfound freedom had to offer.

TTRPG
I've been playing TTRPG for, like, 15 years now. D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, DnD 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Fate RPG, and most recently Fabula Ultima. Over this decade and half I've created plenty of characters and, boy, I can't stop talking about them if you get me going.
I have way too many OCs to list on a pinned post. I did however list them here. But I'll introduce a few more recent and prominent ones anyway.
Lyrinn
Paladin of Mielikki, sworn to the Oath of the Ancients.
Lyrinn's origins are tied to Undermountain, the so-called "dungeon of the Mad Mage" that sprawls under the city of Waterdeep, but they're otherwise shrouded in mystery. Adopted as an infant by Durnan, the owner of the Yawning Portal, she grew up listening enraptured to tales of adventure and heroism. Lyrinn also displayed an affinity with nature from a very young age, which led her to be tutored by a local ranger in her teens.
When she came of age, she chose to swear the Oath of the Ancients, pledging to keep the light shining on the community she so loved.
However, questions about her mysterious origin never left her mind. Growing up she would often find herself staring into the abyss from which she was delivered, transfixed. It was only a matter of time before she joined one of the many groups that ventured below ground, hoping to uncover the truth about herself.

Viria
Born from an affair between a desert elf and a human woman, the mixed-race child has been unwanted by her human family ever since she was born, her very presence an uncomfortable reminder of her mother's infidelity. She ran away from home in her teens, around the time she started to develop her magic powers from her elven bloodline, met a similarly outcast half-orc girl and turned to a life of delinquency for a while under the destructive influence of her companion. But in the end she came into her own thanks to her found family, who accepted her for who she was and taught her a better way to be herself, and she blossomed into a bright and cheerful young woman.

Hoshiko
Living a cyberpunk world where lovecraftian mythos were revealed to be real, Hoshiko Yukimura is a brilliant student of the University of Prague, enrolled in the faculty of Arcane Studies. Her natural pre-disposition for controlling magic made her a candidate for an elite corp of soldiers called Vakyries, and under the many pressures of the academy, society and her own family, Hoshiko caved, put aside anything she could consider childish or immature and dedicated herself to the pursuit of her studies.
That is, until a botched ritual called an unknown creature into this world. The entity, inhabiting the cat-like construct intended to serve as a familiar, luckily seems to be benovelt toward Hoshiko, grants her a mysterious power, and is bringing chaos into the orderly girl's life, somehow pushing her toward healthier life choises in the process.
I've been in a very Shantae mood lately! I've finally gotten around to play the newly released Risky's Revolution for the Game Boy Advance (in the year of our lord 2026, what a blast), and then I rivisited Pirate's Curse out of nostalgia.
I've been sketching the half-genie girl a little over my vacations, and I felt inspired to turn one of the sketches into a proper illustration.
It turned out to be a bit of an ambitious project, but I'm quite happy with the result!

I guarantee somebody is going to zoom in on this background in the far distance and go "these buildings make no sense the proportions are weird the lines are all squiggly, I bet they used AI to generate it", because that's the world we live in now.
This was meant to be a quick lil sketch and... it's kind of getting away from me.
I'm pushing a little what I can accomplish on a tablet. This app I'm using is not exactly heavy duty. I think I'm gonna export the file and continue working on it when I get home.
I might change the scene to a different location too, I'm not sure yet.
Well, I'm not normally into shipping, and the rare times I am I'm more of a desciptivist than a prescriptivist, meaning I tend to focus on couples I can actually see represented rather than imagining my own pairings. And if I've got to be honest, I don't even particularly like Lili's character; I get what they were going for and I'm really not the right audience for that.
And yet all that being said... I kind of like asulili. I think they have a really interesting dynamic, where on one side you have somebody who grew up in a toxic environment and whole love language is being insufferable, and on the other somebody who struggles to deal with her violent tendencies and her urge to solve problems by throwing hands who really needs a safe way to express herself physically.
Yeah, I think they're kind of cute together. I know the ship is pretty unpopular among fans of both Lili and Asuka because they feel both of their character arcs have been put on hold and this is their entire deal now. I like the ship but I have to agree, and it doesn't help that for several games their relationship has been stuck in the initial stages, as if they were afraid to explore the possibilities of this thing they've set up.
I didn't really have a plan. I just really liked this glam from Cosmic Exploration and I started sketching it at work on my lunch break, and then I kind of kept polishing it until I had a whole illustration on my hands.
Oops.
Hey, welcome to the bonus material section 👀
Here are the sketch and the cutout!
Submerging from your world
and back into my bliss
A day rolled into one
is burning on my lips
It's a bit of a tradition of mine but every year, every month of May, I always like to dedicate an illustration to Viria.
The last couple of years I had drawn her as her troubled and angsty teenager self. This year I kinda wanted something a little more carefree.

Oh, hi! Thanks for checking out what's under the cut.
