Good timezone to all fellow Blades!
I hope everyone's been doing good and okay, as I'm pretty much recovering myself after wild weeks of merch prep and attending both the FFXIV fan event last Saturday, and a game event at a local game shop the next day.
Among the f...

Something I worked on last November 11th in celebrating Pocky Day (11.11), but never got to finish it until I got a bit of strength of drawing tonight while I'm still recuperating from the events in the past week.

I guess this is the last one to grind for the upcoming XIV event, featuring the boss of the third fight in the Arcadion raids: Brute Bomber!
He's the only guy among the four combatants, so of course I had to draw him LOL. (I did prep a human version tho I'd prolly just work on it some other...

How do you even chibi hahahaha, tho fortunately had some references (looking at you Nendoroids) so managed to pull it off!
I'll be handing out stickers of my boi's WoL version in the upcoming XIV event (so this is included in the grind hahaha)

Kinda grinding on FFXIV merch so I have my hands full early this week (as you've seen my recent Bakool Ja Ja post) so now featuring Prishe's FFXIV look!
Patch 7.1's a week away so we still dunno why she looks like that yet, especially the design screams boss design as she was confirmed to b...

Okay finally have Bakool Ja Ja! Although I ended up just making him summer-themed LOL
His proportions were a bit different than Zoraal Ja (who had juicier pecs hahaha) so it was interesting to draw him, especially the non-human head shapes!
This'll be one of the prints I'll prepare fo...

And here I thought Argent's taking the lead around that time, until suddenly Chibi-ro gets a burst of a growth spurt, actually catching up with Argent's still-growing height!
Decided to go with full-body pieces for this one, and boi I was on an art high working on this last night!

Just a smol update at that one moment when Argent gets a bigger growth spurt than Chibi-ro, seeing as both of them are growing mostly at the same rate.
...I may have underestimated the engagement values, they're growing so huge at the moment!

Here's the almost no-text version of the growth drive, featuring Chibi-ro and Argent! (I also included the one with text but no watermark!)

I recently got Hades 2 and boi even though I haven't cleared a run yet, it's been kinda addicting (got to finish the story part of Hades 1 at least before playing it) so I had the mood to draw something Hades-style again as my last one with Gurei was what, 2021?
And I also wanted to prepare...

I dunno what was my 14 y/o self onto when he designed this 4th outfit, but it was pretty much Gurei's last design before I did the 5th design which most of you are familiar with (not the current one which was a revised version of that one, but the one with long sleeves yet)
It was also the ...

Imagine I was so used to drawing Gurei with a longer hairstyle to signify a timeskip from his first look, he having a small mullet even. This was the replacement design of the 2nd one, and was prominent during 2007-2009.
Having a brighter palette of blue/white/red compared to his black/grey...

Decided on a drawing prompt of me drawing Gurei in his old outfits (with the second one I'm to post on Twitter later on so it's a Patreon-first!)
The first look is pretty much a simplified version of how 13 y/o me ripped off Cloud's AC outfit so might as well make a personal twist out of it...

I know my Patreon's still a bit bare-bones right now and hopefully I can manage to work on something a bit more consistent in the future.
So as celebration for my birthday, here have six HD + non-watermarked pieces of the past year for all members, three for my main and thr...

Realized my last macro piece was way back in July, so let's change that now.
Why not go back bigger than ever and definitely still growing even more?

This was something I planned on doing for the upcoming FFXIV fan event I'm going to table on, started working on this last August 25th and streamed some of its lineart process!

As promised, here's the compilation of my Hi-Fi RUSH character artworks that I worked on last year and I'd say they're some of my best at the time (hopefully can recreate this composition style for other series too!)

Needed a new FFXIV WoL portrait so I ended up working on this one~ (tho yes I am still biased with Gurei's OG scars), and probably a Patreon-first HD variant with Gurei's OG hair haha

Wasn't expecting Dawntrail to give me a good boi to draw LOL
While others have their eyes on Bakool Ja Ja, Zekowa here's been reminding me of my gremlin Chibi-ro (coz fellow short king too)

2 WIPs for now, as I've been occupied with Dawntrail + life rollercoasters for the past few weeks.
First non-watermarked, HD version piece featuring Gurei in Viper's artifact gear in FFXIV: Dawntrail!
Finally got to finish this piece today, just in time as I wait for the final hour before early access of Dawntrail begins hahaha

Might as well showcase some WIPs here for this week!
The Viper-Gurei one is pretty much to pair with my Pictomancer-Hyro that I posted a while back, and is currently what I'm hopefully trying to finish before Dawntrail's early access comes out next week.
