I made another #FFXIV alt on Dynamis/Seraph - a Lalafell named Miruru. I started in Gridania this time and my friends were right, playing a Lalafell is a lot of fun! I love this character and I can't wait to commission some art of her soon.

For my birthday several friends who I've commissioned art from and who I've played ttrpg's with over the years conspired to take a bunch of the art they've made for me and our campaigns and put them into a printed, physical book and sent it to me. I teared up as I read it. I was absolutely floored.

Another wonderful commission received from @hauklet.bsky.social, this time of my FFXIV alt Thea! She's inherited being a scholar and the WoL from the original and it was all fun and games until it suddenly wasn't. I love how her backstory and personality were interpreted here!

They do some amazing work! Help them get verified on Vgen - even just a follow there helps. They do amazing work. Look at this art of my #FFXIV WoL Elanna, dancing in her new glam!

I received this amazing commission back today of my #FFXIV Miqo'te alt, Thea, from @papersseat.bsky.social ! I'm so happy with how she came out! She's just a librarian who's gotten in way over her head.

I was referring to my setup for a campaign based on their Witherwild framework. The book makes the attached note about the kinds of creatures one may encounter, but gives no examples or guidance on making them. Combined with how Demiplane and Roll20 interact, I was just feeling very overwhelmed.
THE WITHERWILD This corruption, empowered by the endless spring, is spreading throughout Fanewick. Some believe the overgrowth began in the forest, while others claim it sprang from the bogs. But no matter its origins, this flourishing malignancy induces horrific changes and massive growth on anything it touches, transforming them into Withered beings. Plants spring to life with a desire to consume all around them. Animals grow to immense proportions, with onerous dispositions to match their exaggerated teeth, tusks, and claws. Even harmless creatures that were once hunted for food have become dangerous and formidable adversaries.

I reached a point of preparation where I can finally relax a little. I'm still not super happy, but it's good enough for now that I think it'll work if I reference the adventure text from their website.

A friend I support on Patreon does some really cool drawings and sketches as various rewards. Here's a couple chibi's she's done for me this past year of two fairies! Her Patreon is currently paused, but when she's able to open it back up I'll link it.

Two of my good friends in #FFXIV are Lalafells with big goblin energy, so I thought it would be appropriate to ask @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social to draw them in his style. He did not disappoint! These characters are Chubbu Chu (@zaozao.bsky.social) and Mayria (@madqueenmomo.bsky.social)

This summer I received these two wonderful commissions from @hskachu.bsky.social of characters I played from a couple old online games. Icerai from S4 Leage and Arctic Hellfire from City of Heroes. Working with Alice was an amazing experience as always and she did these characters such justice!

She has short unkempt blonde hair, red eyes, and is giving a blank stare to the viewer as if breaking character to dryly ask, "Are you not amused?"

She has blonde hair and red gems set in a headpiece and around her neck. A blast of ice is being launched from her right hand and a sword made of fire is forming in her left hand.
