If it comes naturally and develops in RP, that's totally awesome and worthwhile, but not a driving point to my RP play style. I am shipping trash and absolutely love seeing that sort of thing crop up out of plots, hardships, and whatever sort of developments happen for characters, even if they aren't mine! The kind of romantic thing I'm a sucker for in RP/stories is when you have that super grumpy, cold person and someone desu-gentle trying their best to understand and be there for that person. Alas, they butt heads are always at odds, and there's a point where like... something happens and the butthead, grumpy person acts selflessly for the other, and.. things just kinda pick up from there. It's super precious for that loner-anti-hero whatever type to feel something and compelled to help others, and develop awl the feels from there. Good stuff.

The morning doodles with coffee, THEY RETURN. ;w; Gah, I've missed this, even if it's to doodle hypothetical lulz to cope with super serious, and heart-wrenching RP. ;A; First... it feels like it's been forever since I've drawn this doof. I've lost touch with how do. He got super serious cutting through monsters in Dusk Vigil though! What a stick in the mud This.. this is like the perfect photo op for that Group-visiting-a-Haunted-House series that was floating around for a while. There were so many... awkward attempts to help, the slips on ice and fatigues just had to go and make this even more awkward. .... and Sei dies a little more inside. My failed attempts at writing left most of us to our imagination in regards to just how Seitsuda handles swaddled potatoes

There were some friend birfdays that happened these past few weeks, and I wanted to draw some thiiiings for them <3 I really like painting nightscenes >__>; ---- Also! (Someone let me know if this isn't okay) I'm in the market for a couple of fantasias and I'd be happy to do some waist-up cel-shade art (like these) for some fantasia codes! Starting prices are typically $25 USD for the art order, so technically $10 an order? That's quite a steal right now! How would it work? I'd like to think we can all be honest, but I understand apprehension! I'd hate to do the work and not get a code, while it would be terrible for you to send me a code, and not get art! If you're interested, send me reference screens of your character, and I'll draw up a clean sketch! If it looks like something you want to commit to, I can line and color after I get the gift code for the fantasia! We can also discuss further steps when I'd get the code if you want to be assured you'll get the product! c: Why am I doing this? Well, I don't necessarily need the fantasias, they would be nice for some things I'm reminded of that looked nice in CC but I'm eh about it out in the world. There's also a character I've been trying to get into Balmung for weeks but I can't keep staying up til after maintenance to fight in that minute window. I have a pretty high-level character collecting dust, it would be cool to re-purpose them instead. I also thought it would be neat to make this offer without the hassle of paypal and sharing that sort of information if there are folks that are uncomfortable with it! Plus, like.. $15 off that order....! Nice! This will be first come, first serve, and any multiple orders will take multiple spots! If slots fill, that'll be it! I can't anticipate a time that I'll be able to do this again. I do have to work for food and a roof over my head after all! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Art update! *U* Closeup because I really liked his eyes. And a commission for Valirelia Ferox!

omggg this thread EXISTS.YAY *U* ALL THE ARTS <3333 So amazing as usuaaaal!

The days felt shorter, yet as often as he would look to the jagged mountainside, the sun took its time sinking behind them. The nights felt far too long in retrospect, leaving the Au Ra alone with a familiar yet unwelcome acquaintance in anxiety. Still so much lay anew for him in Ishgard. He could accept the looks of bemusement or scorn when he stepped out of the private room the Sergeant had accommodated for. -- Such a kindness that Seitsuda would note to return in full as soon as the moment struck him. Still, as overly cautious as the Au Ra carried himself, he kept that distress hidden behind a scarf, and well. He couldn't help the looming feeling, a distant memory... The haunting face of an elezen woman cast upon passerby's, and as soon as that fear would set his heart to plummet, he soon found himself realizing... she couldn't possibly be here, or anywhere in Coerthas. Time was usually kind in that it may heal wounds of old, yet stepping in to the frigid mountains tore that scar anew. He loathed it. At least he held strength in confidence and a distraction that those in his watch would be safe as long as there wasn't a desire to sneak away. He couldn't grasp a reason for that possibility. His mind was abuzz with thoughts as he loomed in the Forgotten Knight, hovering just off the wall near the fireplace. An occupied table held his attention, though thinking of his companions as he may-- Sergeant Osric Melkire, Miss Kanara, and ... the Little Spriggan were not there. His thoughts settled on the night before the Sergeant left the Miss and Child in his care. He tilted his head to look away, the slow-burning embers of the fire catching his gaze. The worry that dear woman had-- should any of them be "next". What sort of bond there must be among those in the Dauntless, to carry such a drive to find the others, yet have their hearts be heavy with the fear that their struggles may not be over... Not only would this search be a challenge, but the very possibility of their antagonist not yet done with them. He gave his word, however, to the mysterious miqote so many suns ago now-- he would strike should malice find its way to them. Miss Xinkei... Someone Seitsuda thought an exception, but the time in Ishgard left him to mull over the thoughts. Was it a selfless act anymore that caused her disappearance? More and more, it seemed she was she caught with the distress of her comrades. Timing couldn't be crueler. More were missing, yet never an opportunity to ask beyond its happening had presented itself to him. Perhaps misplaced focus caused for that. Seitsuda frowned, the grip on his crossed arms tightened. The sun sunk as the moon rose. The sun rose as the moon sunk. Over and over, time taunted them. As Seitsuda kept guard over those left behind, he couldn't possibly fathom what distress Miss Kanaria must be feeling to have the Sergeant be gone this long. The Au Ra trusted that the man wouldn't be so reckless with the risks in place. Seitsuda turned his gaze to where private rooms were held. Surely, he would hear of it if there was news, the man at least had a link pearl. The Au Ra remained hovering near the fire place, thoughts to himself, until he may see the Miss and Child rise for that day's opportunity.

(( So, I really love character journals. I adore learning about other sides of characters through them, and I absolutely love writing them. I have a problem with Seitsuda Gladepetal ... He doesn't write journals, and he is one character that absolutely does not speak everything that's on his mind. He has a lot more that goes on than I have time to write for during RP sessions, so .. I'm going to do my best to ... try and convey thoughts and feelings through writing out what he does when I'm not RPing. Honestly, it would be really great if he's ever convinced of writing a journal in future RPs. Here's this in the meantime anyway! Enjoy! OOC comments are welcome, just stick them in brackets/paranthesis, please! Thank you! *U* ))

Something I didn't want to reveal until I got back from my first con, but I worked on a Nanamo print! [align=center][/align] She didn't get a lot of love, but the con is something local and Montana's not exactly like.. totally in there with the times and fads. I was happy that some folks recognized her and Haurchefant anyway! The moogles sold like hotcakes and were all gone on the first day. I'll have to consider making more for the con in Portland! *U* I really want to work on more characters from FFXIV because designs and hgngh my love for the characters themselves. I may have to reel myself back though, ... or maybe do mini prints. We'll see! I'm glad to be back though! I've missed rp and games and I'm looking forward to a little break!

I made little moogle and mog babbies. *U*

I'mmm soooo happpyyyyy to be done with this! It was nice to work on in between projects, but glad to be done! I really love the Blood of the Dragon utility skill so I kinda threw it in here to top off the picture. I'm potentially hatching ideas to make it an rp flavor ability someday... He's not icly a dragoon and I don't think there'll ever be a day that he is, but eyy, just a potential visual thing for somethingsomethingaethermagicalcrapsomethingsomethng. I'unno. We'll see. Aaand a couple of doodles too uwu Siha gave me this visual a few days ago or so and it made my night. I absolutely needed to draw it. Hyur!Sei omggg Not gonna lie, at the moment, he'd totally welcome to opportunity for a glamour or change if he had the chance at it. He has wanted it for many summers. Here's hoping that RP and development will change that derp mentality. Love yourself, you big dumb dragonbabby

I'm posting up a storm, lol; I'm sorry. Just a heads up that slots are still available if you'd like me to draw or sew for you! It would help me so much! ;w; I have sent reply pms to those who are interested! If I need to resend, let me know. I'm sad that PMs get eaten. haha Comics came out of warm up doodles today. Chances are, if you RP with me, you'll get art/comics out of it in one way or another! 8D I like to illustrate stuff that happens, whether it's serious and touching, or ... me really looking to make fun of my characters being special. Seitsuda wasn't any sort of exception to that last night. lmfao. What a dweeb. He'll get better, he just doesn't know how to really be around people anymore lol I'm sorrynotsorry for borrowing an Osric and Eva

I can check off FFXIV inspired stickers from my list! I'm getting there! ;w; The rest under a cut because I feel bad. lol;

After many hours, I finally finished something I absolutely had to do after getting a ways into Heavensward. I'm marking it as a spoiler, just to be safe!

I finally got the super special pants I wanted from a Heavensward dungeon, so it's time to take pictures of all that RP fashion. Sei can clean himself up well enough.. yeah... This outfit makes me happy, and I'll look forward to throwing him into winter areas with it! *U* A very rare sight for gear anymore. It's something he probably wore way back when, but probably wouldn't see again unless he's out of commission or something. We'll see!

I swear I'll have more than sketches here soon >__> Heavensward has inspired a bunch of FFXIV things I'd like to share with others at cons this year <3 I'm excited to share them! For now... There's a new little meme thing floating around (or maybe not so new) that's a reaction prompt to one character hugging yours from behind. What happens? Dasair's Xavarian and Yorumei are up first...! Such beauty, such grace, someone gonna die. Wanna get in on this but don't have a tumblr? Shoot me a message or comment! These are really fun and I want to do more haha I'm also slowly chipping away at another thing to keep my art going. It's a piece where I started reflecting on things. I want to share my art with so many people, but it's been hard to make anything in time for a con at the end of the month. So many WIPs with time running out. haha; I realized that I was focusing too much on thinking of art/styles to please people, rather than just... do my own thing in drawing from fandoms that I love. No more! I'm looking forward to finishing this Seitsuda piece though. I guess it's a sneak peak of my process... Scribbles then painting over the top. lol; I really wanted to draw this because I was happy to nab all the gear I wanted for RP >___>

Instead of working on things that I'd LIKE to, I've been hung up on a comic idea. Just gotta roll with it and get it out of my system, I suppose! Regardless, I've been kiiinda holding off on rping Seitsuda for reasons-- and a cosmetic thing being one of them. I've been trying to hunt down a helm of some kind that doesn't look ridiculous but covers his features so I can rp him being something of a mystery. It's impossible. lol So I have the power to do something in form of story-telling! Hooray! I don't know when I'll have time to polish with my workload this summer, but here it is! It's vague! It's simple! Comic under the cut! Time to throw Seitsuda in the wild worl' of RP!

I’ll tell you what he wants, what he really-really wants!

After much toil in Amdapor, I finally got the coat I wanted for Nenia!! ;A; This is probably my favorite screenshot with her current ensemble!

Heya! Just a little headsup that my commission list on the first page is up to date and I have slots available if anyone would like art/plushies from me! It would help me out so much with bills and living expenses and I'd be happy to do up some art and mmmaybe sew up plushie versions of ingame minions? *U* I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

I started a doodle when I got booted from the game.. here's what I come up with a couple hours later and ... might be logging back in soon. haha; [align=center][/align] [align=center]Such a Calamity...[/align]

Hello! I've been meaning to drop a line! This is something I failed to catch before, and I hope I'm not blind to the answer already when I ask... in submitting an application, is it treated as IC? I'm very interested in joining, but my problem is that my dude needs a little time to develop/warm up to the idea before making any commitments. I mean it's not really a problem because that gives us an opportunity to make sure characters mesh well and whatnot but..yeah! I wanted to clear up the application thing so I don't mess up his character traits. haha The Heavensward hype is pretty real right now, but whenever things may settle down for more rp, I'd love to maybe try to meet up with folks and see where it goes! Thank you!

Admiring the Scenery, just as much as my baby would be in his adventures in wandering. Absolutely gorgeous sunrise in Coerthas! We just don't get to see the clear skies that often, do we?

The 2002 error is a terrible thing... so I doodle things in the meantime when I can't get myself to work on con merch. Note to self? Never ever EVER draw someone yawning again... I was yawning so much while I worked on this... lol Seitsuda has been doing well to blend into Eorzea all this time. His scarf/hood thing isn’t goofy at all…. nah……. His dorkiness has already begun in his first rp encounter with a poor Siha! Last but not least, a little gift for Siha herself! She was so sweet and helped me with some expensive gear to get Seitsuda through 2.1 onward a little easier. ;O; This was the least I could do! Right now, he's almost Heavensward...! *U*

Doodles to share! There was a little drawing challenge floating around on tumblr to practice drawing different emotions.. and things! There's a WHOLE ARRAY... and I've gotten to do six of them. Doodles under the appropriate cuts!

I'm happy to share this now that it has the OK! Character commission art of Nailah Quill! With that, all slots are open for art, and those sweet digital paint sale slots are still available! [align=center][/align]
