You're already off to a good start! And with every pose you do, you learn something more that you can apply to the next one.

I wish you tons of fun with being creative and making the things you want to see! 💜

It was an instant gut feeling - glad I was not off! She's a wonderful person with an unique voice that is impossible to forget.

There's been a time during which a lot of her songs were on my playlists. Don't ask me how I learned about her (at least not in public) - that'd make me feel *very* old. 💜

Thank you so much! 💜

And right back at you - you have such a unique, classy, dark/noir/gothic fantasy (for the lack of better words) style yourself, it's wonderfully intriguing, and such a welcome break from the otherwise colorful and "sugar sweet" baseline I find prominent in the FFXIV universe.

Thank you for your supportive comments! (Also the ones on Discord, of course. It's always exciting to read what people comment and think; even if at times I can't come up with a proper response other than an acknowledging emote reaction.) 💜

Thank you for the kind words - once more! It sparks joy reading something like this. 💜

Always take time off creative work if it feels like a chore!

I rarely interact with my own feed, but I look at it nonetheless - and your pictures are well thought of and immersive. Can't rush or force quality.

Who's the cute and who's the sexy one? :P

(I jest, of course. Thank you for the kind words!)

Not quite!

Rumor has it A'zu did not actually have a costume ready - and improvised with some ketchup...
