Gonna be at Yeticon this weekend! Come find me at table B9, I will have.... SO much new stuff, haha.

wait i finally read the totem description and lmfao?

I've got a whole bunch of stuff because I just can't seem to stop drawing!! Relevant links: varethane.bigcartel.com •Tons of stickers •Two FFXIV fancomic zines •Very silly death bingo sets ko-fi.com/varethane/co... •Portrait commissions!

This is essentially how I feel about it too, now that 8.0 is on the horizon. DT set up a bunch of potentially interesting things (tension/competition between the Scions! Exploring a new continent! A lost shard that is actively hostile towards the Source!), but then couldn't commit 100% to any of it.

Wanted to make a new print for @fanfestathome.bsky.social, and so... Zenos.

Another new Final Fantasy XIV sticker for @fanfestathome.bsky.social! The Tyrant wants what he wants.

Another new sticker for @fanfestathome.bsky.social! Bakool Ja Ja, my buddy, my pal..... I have forgiven him, somewhat, but the ice is thin.

Working on some stickers for @fanfestathome.bsky.social! Here's the first of several new designs. This was my favourite detail about Sphene in Dawntrail: that, when called back to her own senses during the final battle, she heard out the heroes and then said "No thank you, I'm sticking to my plan."

unrelated. have arcadion fighters on the brain again

I am back here once again

Estinien

Continuing to mess around in my sketchbook..... drew Emet-Selch #FFXIV I had a single magenta marker at the time, so it made an appearance.

I'm very glad now that I made the trip out to go view the LV1 while I had the chance!

I draw.... very silly FFXIV comics! (And also other things such as non-XIV fanart and original characters/webcomics, which live on my main account @varethane.bsky.social )

ok I've seen at least 2 takes on Zenos drawn with the reaper scythe but, what about my man Estinien.......

Hal-Con's Virtual Artist Alley is live, and my BigCartel storefront is alive again! varethane.bigcartel.com

Hot and fresh off the presses: new death bingo sheet, now with Dawntrail mechanics! #ffxiv #ffxivart

I'll be tabling at Kupocon in Montreal later this month! In preparation, I made some new stickers for the WoL sticker exchange :D

That I'm free. This is me. This is who I was meant to be...? 😿 #ffxiv #ffxivart #howlingblade

found it

Okay, this is pretty fun to play with yuzupome.github.io/ffxiv-card/i...

Not sure if I'll finish this one, but the memory still makes me laugh--that one time a certain unique trait of Living Dead, and an Everkeep EX farm finishing the fight at the exact wrong time, conspired for a good old-fashioned dramatic anime collapse. #FFXIV #FFXIVart

I think Bluesky image uploading is busted right now (for me, at least), so I guess I'll hold off on posting this comic until some later time.

I'm hoping that my new post image is broken only for me, I'll stop trying to reupload and just wait awhile to see if it fixes itself......

M6s adds in a... soup bowl #ffxiv

Thank you so much @xivsorrel.bsky.social for the awesome comic book and the cute sticker! I can never say no to catbois and memes in my FFXIV😌!

ZINES!! My new FFXIV fanzines have arrived, in plenty of time for Fan Expo! :D

Not finished with the new patch yet, but I'm really enjoying the shot choices/editing/animations in the cutscenes so far, good stuff!

I probably have enough new silly comics by now to print a whole second FFXIV Shitpost Zine™ 🤔

Howling Blade.... if you didn't want me to take it that way, why did you deliver the line Like That?? #FFXIV #FFXIVart #arcadion #dawntrail

QRP with your wings art! I need to draw more wings....

Betrayed, by mine own obsession with Frontline PVP u_u #ffxiv #ffxivart

Started doodling some Estinien for me, as a treat.... might watercolour it later but I need more water first and it'll be a pain to get here, so colour will happen on a later date.

It's Kriiile #ffxivart

Urianger enjoying.... a meal #ffxivart (this one is stretching the 15 minutes rule a little, I had got halfway through inking before the timer ran out... but I finished it off just now before posting lol)

Oh yeah, here's another doodle from the 15-minute character randomizer drawing game I played! I think this is the first time I've ever drawn Raubahn :o

Thank you for a great yeticon!! It was awesome getting to meet people there, my sketchbooks are going to become 100x more rad with all the stickers I acquired-- also featuring this incredible tote by @cavatina.bsky.social, because omg.

Set up and ready to go for #yeticon2025 day 2! 🥳

Also BTW other yeticon artist alley people: please show me your estinien merch and your booth number, I might have already found you but just in case, I am making a list #yeticon2025

I've got..... wares

YETICON HERE WE GO!! (Finally put this account on my phone so I can update it at shows haha) I'm all the way in the corner this year. Cons: out of the way, tucked out of sight. Pros: easy to describe! Just point in a direction and say, all the way up in there.

Come find me this weekend at Yeticon, I'll be at H11! And I will have a lot of things :D

This is also a quasi representation of some of the things I'll have at Yeticon this weekend! (Not included in this graphic: all my prints, since I haven't figured out a good way to ship them online, and my FFXIV death bingo sets.... but those will be there at Blue Mountain :B)

Thanks to the character randomizer game, I drew Magnai for the first time! So pointy....... #ffxiv #stormblood

The randomizer picked Nero out of the hat so I doodled him being a coolguy. Or something.

Also regarding the Arcadion... Back when the premise (straight up fighting tournament) of the tier was announced and we knew nothing else about it, I was hoping SO hard that something like this would happen. Let me friendly-duel Estinien!!! Please, i'm begging... #ffxiv #ffxivart

Played a game last night wherein we put FFXIV character names into a randomizer, and had 15 minutes to draw whoever it spat out. The first result was Alpha!

mike wazowski spotted in occult crescent!

I found out my yeticon table, I'll be at H11!
