Hi! I'm M/maoai/Obsessed Illusionist, and I lurk and make mods for games I like to play. I hope to make a game of my own someday, but I'm good where I am for now.
I run a multi-WoL verse for FFXIV, which I'll expand on in another post! I'm an EU player, with characters on both servers.

Tagged as graphic and a warning at the start, hopefully this will suffice.

bonking my head at Estinien's animations again, cuz can anyone tell me why they're ported and useable in gpose just fine to literally any other gender and race BUT male Elezen models? Did he put a curse on them so he's the one and only male Elezen model that can use them? Is it Niddhog? I'm gonna-
It's... mainly just elezen men giving me trouble. and I have no idea why. This emote is taken from Estinien ffs.....

It's a rough start, but I'm releasing a rough draft version of the idle so folks can give me feedback so I can improve it when my brain isn't melting lol

Anyway, just expect 1 animation modpack this weekend, my head's been killing me since yesterday ✌️

By the by, this isn't a bug. Some looping emotes have a short part dedicated to 'start' the animation, then the loop kicks in. The modded animations runs on the loop part of the emote, not the start animation.

As a side note, these mods are made with gposers/video editors in mind, not roleplay.

That wolqotd about which emote fits your character so well and I’m sitting here like “well it was ‘joy’ mixed with other facial expressions for the longest time, but then Sphene took that and now I’m like idk” old proto rhiv for reference cuz that judgey one was my fav combo

Bear You Home got yet an update with another animation! Enjoy! #obsilluXIV www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/149863

Didn't think I had an animation mod in me today, but I might do another update to Bear You Home.... A little different than the previous ones, but I think it belongs in the pack just fine.

Don’t have the energy to make that kinda video but know Rhiva’s voiceclaim is Alix Wilton Regan (lady inquisitor DAI) and Christopher Lee for Tuesti (Saruman/Dracula/Count Dooku)

So i was hesitant to show this cause its like very early on . But a recent side project of mine was AetherBridge.
A full sync of armatures from Blender to FFXIV allowing for live gposing and animating without delay.

Expect a beta around early december!

Regarding my last animation port;
My deepest apologies for not considering the graphic nature of Zenos' death.
The other death mods went by without a hitch, so it never even crossed my mind- that is my fault.
I've blurred the preview image on XMA+deleted the preview here. Again, I'm really sorry.

On the flipside, Tuesti’s kinda shit at parenting but he’s fiercely protective of the Garlean stray he picked up despite her attempts to return to castrums (a la rebel teen running from home) before their Echoes manifested. It’s been a journey for both of them.

Rhiv’s bio parents were soldiers that died, making Regula, her uncle, her father figure for the first 10 or so years. She pretty much grew up a child soldier for Garlemald tho. Regula presumes her dead after her mission at the battle of Silvertear Skies. Tuesti takes over as father figure from then;
Had a break during my work, so here’s my first #wolqotd

What’s the deal with your WoL’s parents? Are they alive? Dead? Supportive of their adventures? Or are there… daddy/mommy issues? (Dramatic gasp)
