Hydaelyn Role-Players

awesome work keep it up!

*eagerly lurks through all the great art threads*

Thank you once again for the kind words. 

I feel that drawing a character helps me in fleshing them out, so I did that with my highlander alt. I didn't get the chance to create him last phase and I couldn't wait for the character creation benchmark so.. this happened.





As if hairstyles weren't enough, I added some facial hair too. :T

Hair option 01


Hair option 02


Hair option 03


I ended up liking hair option 01 and facial hair option 03 the most but then I felt sad because those aren't available in game. Oh well.

Your own drawing style will always be reflected in it. Unless you carbon copy it from something else..." Drawing style is more than a way of how to draw a person(or anything for that matter), it goes as deep as how you draw a simple line.

Basically, it's my own long-winded way of saying that I'm still seeing the same drawing style in both your drawings. XD

Ahaha, thank you for this. I just have trouble being consistent with whatever style I attempt to try or do, like it would warp into a different style every few drawings or so. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thank you!

This is the "default" midlander hairstyle. I sort of like it and wish it were an option for highlanders. :c

An available hair option for highlanders that I butchered. Sorry. orz

One of the roegadyn hairstyles. Guh, highlanders need more hair options. :I

I think this is too much now.. orz

heh, i had the same thing happen to me with a previous character. For some reason i got a picture of him in my head, but then found that neither the hair color, style or skin tone was available.  >.<  like a boss

Our concepts of them would remain in our heads.. at least until new options were made available and that hair color, style and skin tone we want were amongst them. XD

I have returned after a long absence. So many new things going on now I'm a bit at a loss haha.

So! I've drawn a couple of things to get back into the FFXIV "mood". Here's one:



I'm loving their thread so far, such a nice read. Please check it out if you haven't yet.

Sorry if I got the characters' looks wrong btw.

I realize I do enjoy being a spectator more than a participant so if you happen to see a dodgy elezen or lalafell creeping about seemingly out of nowhere, that could just be me being interested in your story... and maybe drawing art of it. I really hope you guys don't mind. orz

Ahhhh. This art is really nice. I gotta say, loooove the way you draw noses. Sounds less strange in my head, I swear! XD

Do you have a DA or Tumblr?

I love that drawing, lots of "animated" feel

Haha! Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I do have a tumblr right here. It's my art blog so it's not just ffxiv content on there though.

For a somewhat more serious style, here's one I made for my mentor.



Armor details kill me everytime I swear.

You do fine work. The cartoony style is great and works wonderfully with the tone of some of the RP that works here.

What I'm trying to say is, please notice me sempai.

Ahhhhhhh  

I'm already following you on tumblr now! Thank you so so much for the drawing! *hugs*

Your art is really great, can't wait to see more!

I know I've squee'd about this enough over in the mentioned RP thread, but I actually have a question. Would it be okay if I cropped little Gran there and used him as my avatar? I wanna spread the adorbs.

I've said it in the original thread, but it bears repeating--this is the first time a character of mine--in any MMO game--has been drawn by someone else completely of their own volition. I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how immensely good this feels. Like I was somehow...included in to this community.

It's completely silly I know, but...yea...I just love your style. It's expressive and simple without being simplistic (if that makes sense) and just absolutely oozes personality and style.

I heart you. So very hard.

Sorry for the very late response! Sure, go on ahead!

Or you know... you could use this instead?
