Day 4 was for Solstice and Equinox! I remember spending a lot of time redrawing Makoh'to's face in the top panel. They are looking at each other... morning coffee and evening tea...! The top panel in particular remains one of my favorite things I've done 😊 #ffxivart

Last year's day 4 was New Horizon & Reunion... I love love LOVE the concept of Gaius and Makoh'to seeing each other not as their titles, but just as they are. I still love how sad wet dog Gaius looks in this one lol #ffxivart

Last year's day 3 was color exploration in the same setting! and how little could i do to convey a time and place lol #ffxivart

oh i love to draw them dancing together #ffxiv #ffxivart

LRP Yeah... I never set out to be #1 gaius enjoyer (not even implying i am in anyway as i REALLY loathe that mindset since before i drew for xiv) or assume I'll get along well with ppl just bc we like the same character(s) 😭 your interests don't have to be performative or visible :')

LRP: especially in regards to xiv you do NOT need to be "The #1 ____ liker ever", you can simply enjoy things. You do not need to prove yourself a fan of a character or place. You do not need to interact with a person or account just because they have a lot of traction and you like the same lil guy

I'm hoping by next weekend I can draw again ;v; I went too hard last week when I think about all the stuff I worked on (drawing and crochet wise) so it's no wonder I ended up sore by the end of it all. The inflammation is subsiding but my ulnar nerve is especially being a hater rn so-! Rest time 🫡

I finished that cmsn I just posted earlier this week before the inflammation 🥹 I really wanted to work on cmsns this weekend... I was cooking so good too... at least I have a solid foundation laid out so I can have fun detailing once I've had a break.

typing is still a form of stress on my hands but i want to continue working on my SoW essay... i think i'm gonna have to really lower my expectations for what i wanted it to be. i wonder if i can dictate some stuff text-to-speech altho editing my own verbal rambling would be a task in itself lmao

same as it ever was #AceScribbles #DeathStranding

[hc] post-SoW gaius to me has such an odd relationship with makoh'to at first in that he's very wary and defers to makoh'to at the same time?? like makoh'to offers him some coffee and gaius intrusive thinks "he could have poisoned this" but then he drinks it anyway bc miqo would be right to do so

of course when i'm resting my hands i remember some pwyw digital download gaius goods i wanted to make. later...!

I love when people order from my store because I can rightfully assume they like Gaius or are buying for someone who likes Gaius. Makes slipping in freebies (which are Gaius related lol) super easy 😂

wah... woke up and my hand joints are mildly inflamed. i was making good progress on a cmsn too but i guess i'll take a break lest i cause a rsi 😩 no crocheting either 🥹

reopening these sketch commissions up!! :D these will be a fullbody b/w sketch, with a 1 week turnaround!! there will only be an option for minor revisions at the end. although my examples are ffxiv i'll draw any ocs, fanart, etc :D if you're interested, please fill out my form linked below!

same as it ever was #AceScribbles #DeathStranding

randomly plagued by a warm-up idea i want to do but i have one billion other things planned!! this is so great (said equal parts annoyed but also grateful after being creatively depressed for the first half of the year)

busy due to my own making but i want to just pal around with people in game :( i miss just casually hanging out in game with people!!!!

I'm too lazy to go back in my posts to find this and it needed alt text anyways, so throwback to this from September of last year #ffxiv #ffxivart

makoh'to is a silly guy with (usually) silly dreams. gaius, however... #ffxiv #ffxivart #gaiuswol #gaiusbaelsar

gaius and black roses, name a more iconic duo [Sep 2024] #ffxiv #ffxivart #gaiusbaelsar

and I'll find strength in pain / and I will change my ways #ffxiv #ffxivart #gaiusbaelsar

throw back to when i got samples of this made and then never took preorders for it. it spins lol (see reply for video)

[Sept 2023] This is a nightmare where I succeeded back at the Praetorium #ffxiv #ffxivart #gaiuswol #gaiusbaelsar

I want to put Gaius in the pear wiggler again... I have the perfect song and idea in mind for much later. Until then I will reshare old things lol

Like father, like son. #ffxiv #ffxivart

I want to show ppl my in-prog shots for the merch but I will suffer the in-prog curse if I do... motivation to finish them properly and get samples ordered :) My schedule rn is to finish the two outstanding cmsns I have then spend 2 weeks resting + finishing up merch before resuming my waitlist.

"So I ask you: Have you yet the strength to stand?" I was overjoyed to get asked to work on Hien's TT card for @ff14untamedzine.bsky.social #ffxiv #ff14 #hienrijin | ff14untamedzine.bigcartel.com

💜🛒[merch update] No previews bc I will psyche myself out of finishing them, but I did spend this week finalizing the concepts for my next Gaius merch drop! And by that I mean all I need to do is clean-up for 4 and render out the new fullbody standee - pose finalized. :)

this week i got a lot of planning-type stuff done! a look at future crochet projects. the cardigan will be first and take a while 😊 I decided to trim some of the bulk with flat squares with an X motif. The most subtle Gaius references lmaooo. I'll know.

[hc] early SoW gaius to makoh'to like "i was a ward of the state and i turned out fine" when he's in denial about everything and makoh'to just o_o; (gaius being a ward of the state is just my own personal lore for him lol)

(20/?) A comic for a shared hc I have with @clownser.bsky.social of Allie going to Old Sharlayan to study healing magicks. Still one of my absolute favorites! Text courtesy of the aforementioned. Reposted w/ tags [June 2022] #ffxiv #ffxivart #gaiusbaelsar

I'm about 70% through my Makoh'to-inspired shawl and am excited to block it. It's gonna be so cozy!! I'll share pics once it's done but know it's got hearts through out - a little hard to see due to the ombre yarn but they're there <3

oh... you know... (sorrow of werlyt)

normally i only post my nails when they're xiv related, but this polish is TOO pretty to not share. i finally found a red magnetic polish that does exactly what i want!! emily de molly's fiery attraction!!! it's even more deep and vibrant in person 😍 if only i hadn't broken some nails last week 😭
