Commission info has been updated! I'll be closing commissions on Monday indefinitely, so if you're interested, grab a slot while you can! (My hands are full, I'll probably open new slots once I'm done with all current commissions/projects). Aaaand here are some recent drawings:

Welcome back Lihli! I returned recently as well, and sure feels good to see so many returning faces!

I'm one of them btw. Welcome to Balmung!!

This has been a busy week. Spent most of it imersing myself on RP related stuff, so I don't have much FF drawings to post here. I do have, tho, some news. Collab that I did with a friend. We swaped drawings, so I did the lines for the character on the right and the painting for the character on the left! Minimalist avatar of my RP character (Ainami Aina) And the big news is... I started a patreon! Check out https://www.patreon.com/liriell if you would like to support me! As a special thank you, I'm giving a free bust sketch for my first 5 patrons regardless of pledge tier. (only 3 slots left)

Are you quinn.tia from instagram?

@OyuuThank you for the links! They're really useful! And let me try to make myself clear one last time. As an introvert and returning player, I had a fear of coming back and not finding the comunity the same way it was before. Instead, I've found out that things are slightly different, which isn't bad in any way at all. It's only natural that a closed and old world like Balmung would eventually focus more on already stabilished groups. I mentioned housing because, for me personally, it's a little daunting to just run over someone's house and/or daily life and just insert myself or ask for RP (and I know that I'm not the only one, but I'm not speaking for all the new/returning players either). Slice of life is something important AND fun, I believe I don't need to mention its importance since Faye already did a good job with that, but I see it as something a little bit more private and personal. I may be old fashioned, but I like to meet people in a more "public" environment before going to their house for a brunch. None of this means, of course, that I won't participate in this kind of scenario or that I don't enjoy/like it. Also, as I've mentioned, I don't know how to find new groups or stabilish contact in-game. I may not have the courage to just run into people, but I know that sitting down won't take me anywhere, and I never planned on doing so. RPing is a great way to overcome a weakness like that while forging new friendships, and this is the main reason why I decided to start doing it on this game, but I wasn't sure about doing so until I found the RPC. This is a great place both to start fresh and keep oneself updated with the events calendar. It's the first place I visited when I started, and the first place I came back to when I decided to return. I want to apologize again for any misunderstanding, and I'll try to be more cautious in the future.

Thanks everyone! I've added all of you on Discord, hope we can have a nice chat~ Personally I'm still trying to figure out my own identity as RPer, mostly my character's identity actually. I've played stuff like D&D for almost a decade but I don't have much experience with RP on MMOs

Sorry if my post sounded too pessimistic! It's just a fear that I had before coming back and also a first impression. Which doesn't mean that will be the truth. I just want to make clear that I'm not, at all, criticizing any of those trends. I just feel like they are too "intimate" for me to jump in as a first experience, but I would love to participate on some once I've settled. I'm aware of my weakness and that's why I've come to RPC in first place. I'm just taking a deep breath before diving in. Also, I'm really glad to see lively discussions like this one, special thanks to Maril for a post that complete! Your insights will come in handy for sure. Speaking of which, does anyone have a link for a directory on tumblr or something like that? I've been searching tags related to RP on Balmung, but it would be nice to have an easier way to find people and direct my attention.

Hello again! Last year just after the release of Stormblood my PC died, and after a long time fixing it, I didn't have the courage or financial resources to come back and keep playing. Well, I'm back now. The problem is... when I first logged in after coming back, I coulnd't remember even the basics, like how to go back to town... (lol). So, yeah, I'm really, really, lost. I've been playing mostly on my main/non-RP character on Coeurl with my friends, but I would like to go back to RP on Balmung, even thought I don't know anyone there anymore

As someone who have been away for almost a year, I've felt the fear that things wouldn't be as "lively" as before. I mean, I never had the time or opportunity to go deep on RP, but even so, I feel like things are a lot more "closed" than before. I honestly have no idea where to find a new group or FC to RP with, I'm terrible with that kind of stuff, and knowing that most of RP nowadays has been more focused on "housing areas" and "slice of life" stuff makes me a little bit relutant...

OMG they are so cute and well done! Love them What software did you use to make the gifs?

I'm back! After... almost 10 months I think? I just started playing again last weekend and I already have commissions open and going~ Here's the updated Price Chart: And here are my most recent three commissions: For @zephiel_leraje on instagram For @ffxiv.seylumevergarden on Instagram For @oharah on tumblr (this one isn't FFXIV related, tho)

Commission for lance-of-fury on tumblr~

Commission for ffxiv_blyro on Instagram!

And more commissions as always~ This time respetively for a friend from my FC, Kokonji. And for a member from the RPC, Puppet-kun. Also, there are no more slots available for the Bust Sale! Thanks to everyone's help I was able to raise enough funds for a new graphics card <3 (regular commissions are always open though, feel free to contact me if interested!)

Amazing art! I was wondering where did I see it before then I noticed I already follow you on tumblr <3 Keep up the art train!

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that out, seems really useful. About the brush, I don't use SAI, but looking at the settings I think I can translate them to photoshop. Hopefully with a few adjustments I won't feel so unsatisfied with my linearts...

Just curious, how do you do the lineart? It's so light and soft and nice... your style is truly amazing

I like the last one, but maybe you could've kept them in a single post? Good job anyway!

I think I saw some of your art on tumblr, you have an amazing and unique style, keep it up!

Posting my two last commissions~ So my PC decided to start dying one part each time, I've been having lots of problems with it and now I need to pay for a new Graphics Card and repairs. Since I need to raise funds ASAP I decided to make a small sale! This sale applies to set B Busts only, and there are 4 slots open! My regular commissions are still open too, you can check the full info [here]

Another commission! For @tarren_paige on Instagram Also here's a quick doodle I did to promote the newly created Instagram for my FC, @verdant.enclave

IV. Character Name: Ainami Aina Race/Clan: Lalafell Plainsfolk Profession: Wandering Dark Knight, occasional artist Likes:Swords, milk tea, trying new outfits, staying in a quiet corner in a place full of people, waterfalls, calling people she's comfortable with by nicknames Dislikes: The Empire, feeling useless, strong drinks, racists, mold, being pat (Wiki still not available)

I. Basic Info Characters: Ainami Aina Primary character:Ainami Aina Linkshells:None Primary RP linkshell:None II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Usually Light RP. I'm a beginner at this and not confident on my skills yet. I'm open to learn new things and meet new people! Views on RP combat and injuries: About injuries, I'm fine with that as long as it's played ICly. For combat, I'm terrible at describing combat actions, but I find RP combat entertaining (I love rolls). Views on IC romance: My character isn't looking for it but I'm fine with it too, I love when I see other couples and find it cute. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I'd love that too. Ties and bonds are always welcome and important on character building imo, although I currently don't have any. Views on lore: I like to follow lore, but I'm very open. I love FF's lore and I find it entertaining to follow and interpret, but I'm not an expert and I think that nobody's creativity should be denied. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I use (( )) for OOC, /say for IC actions. /tell can be used for whispers too, but it's most common to me to use it to discuss a detail OOCly. I prefer to use linkshells as an actual linkshell rather than a scenario. III. Other Info Country:Brazil Timezone:UCT-3 Contact info:You can PM me or add me on Discord Liriell#3207

Thanks for the warning, I didn't know that. I've seen some people doing it and I thought there wasn't a problem
