You'd think the intersection between 2d drawing and UI design would be graphic design but no.. I'm terrible at it .. and yet...

I split up my Forecaster Guide into pages for possibly better readability! The Forecaster is the S-rank Hunt found in Living Memory.

#FFXIV #FFXIVArt
the Forecaster guide by floon [2D cel-shaded Drawing of the S-rank Hunt Elite Mark The Forecaster from the Living Memory zone in Final Fantasy XIV] Drawn, written, and designed by Floon Drif of Faerie 1. The fight starts with a tutorial of sorts. You will see each variation of weather status and which AOEs correspond to them. These will be telegraphed! 2. The Forecaster will have a long dialogue about the forecast, but you can just look at the icons on its status bar. They should be in the same order that the mechanics will go off in. The Forecaster: "Reacquiring data... Thunderclouds will give way to ferocious gales then sizzling heat!" 82.5% The Forecaster [Cast Bar] [Status Symbols representing Hyperelectricity, Gale-force Winds, and Wildfire Conditions, as they would display below a boss's HP bar in-game] When the cast “Weather Channel” goes off, the AOEs will go off in sequence untelegraphed. Hyperelectricity -> Gale-force Winds -> Wildfire Conditions 3. The Forecaster may have a secondary dialogue about an error. Read this one to see which weather is being overwritten. The new weather condition will take the place of the overwritten one. The Forecaster: "<bloop> eRrOr! Revising forecast... Expect blizzard conditions, not violent zephyrs!" (the words "blizzard" and "violent zephyrs" are underlined) 82.5% The Forecaster [Cast Bar] [Status Symbols representing Hyperelectricity, Gale-force Winds, Wildfire Conditions, and a glitchy version of Blizzards, as they would display below a boss's HP bar in-game] [Drawing of my viera wol with squinting eyes] "I'm a FFXIV player. I don't know how to read." Hyperelectricity -> ("Gale-force Winds" crossed out) Blizzards -> Wildfire Conditions Quick Reference A table with the headers on the left-hand side that signify: Icon, Status Name, Name When Overwritten, AOE Shape Status Name: Hyperelectricity Name When Overwritten: Shocking Storms AOE Shape: [A circle surrounding a boss hitbox] Out is Safe Status Name: Wildfire Conditions Name When Overwritten: Searing Sunshine AOE Shape: [The cell of the table is filled except a safe circle inside the boss hit box] In is Safe Status Name: Gale-force Winds Name When Overwritten: Violent Zephyrs AOE Shape: [a giant rectangle starting from the front-half of the boss hitbox] Back is Safe Status Name: Blizzards Name When Overwritten: Wintry Woe AOE Shape: [A Giant Plus sign shape centered on the boss hitbox] Intercardinals Safe The Forecaster also does “Flood Conditions,” which are just telegraphed, targeted AOEs that you can run out of. Thank you for reading!

Online interactions are so bizarre for me personally because they lack the body language and tone I use IRL which I think is very approachable... and no matter what I get judged and treated more harshly for being a woman 😅

not sure who needs to read this but

go back and look at all of your treasured work; pieces that made you happy while making them and even happier when you finished them.

#FFXIV FanFest is neither a safe nor accessible convention.
-People asking for disability accessibility need to have a phone call to prove their needs
-they then must agree to specific accessibility accommodations within 24 hours of a follow up email or schedule another full phone call.
1/6
Email that reads: "Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me on the phone! As we discussed, you will have 24 hours from this email to make any corrections. Without further communication after 24 hours, all information will be agreed as written and will require additional interviews to adjust any accommodation. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EVENT:"

I liked drawing. I discovered art on the internet, along with other interactive websites that people made. I wanted to make websites for my art so I taught myself.

Two items that were previously sold out are now back up on my shop- this is the VERY LAST of my stock until I can order more (and I'm not sure when that will be- or IF I will!)

The G'raha sticker sheet and Espurr keychain can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/flarebo...

Yan stickers are this year's freebie for Flareboost Shop!

They will be included in any orders containing merch based on FFXIV until they run out. ♥️

Archaeotania, in 2025, is in fact a pain to clear, unless you can rally enough people for it. Boss fates from ShB onwards are ridiculously scaled and the older ones don't give as many gems for old players to want to come help.

The long summer between high school and college where high school ended in May and college started in October, my friends had all gone off and started classes in August, I was roped into nuzlocke and read the webcomic, and it sure did have an impact

obviously not a new topic of discussion but it really is crazy how perfect a name nuzlocke is for the challenge despite having literally nothing to do with the rules and being a result of like 8 coincidences piling up on top of each other. maybe he was right.
