Comic commission for @wanderer-archive.bsky.social ! 🦢🦁
A comic of a angellic, winged woman and a lion-esque man. Panel 1: the woman leans in to kiss the lion man, his one eye wide in surprise. Panel 2: the woman pulls back, revealing the Lion's expression of awe and surprise. He is blushing. Panel 3: the woman brings her hand up near her face as she looks back at the lion man, blushing as well. Panel 4: bringing her fingers to her lips, she blushes harder as she speaks. "... I..." Panel 5: the woman runs away at horrific speeds, leaving the Lion man stunned in place. She yells out behind her "I AM GOING TO MAKE US SOME TEA!"

Love me a good magma board session teehee
A drawing of a fire genasi with glowing markings on her face. Her hair burns at the tips as she cracks her gauntletted hands. A drawing of an older man with an excellently coiffed beard and mustache. He winks at the camera as he puts up a gloved hand to make a small heart that materializes in blue light.

And where the hell have you two been?
Designs of the Gravekeeper (left) and the Ghost (right) of my upcoming project, A Dead Name. The Gravekeeper wears a wide-brimmed black hat atop shaggy blue hair. They have a yellow scarf and a grey coat over a pair of overalls that are fitted into rubber boots. In one hand, they hold a crook from which a lantern hangs with a blue glow inside it. The Ghost is a pale-blue specter with a scowl on her face. She has yellow, sunken eyes and pronounced cheekbones, along with sharp, pointed ears and claws. Her hair is two-toned, black on the outside and a bright unnatural blue on the inside.

I can't wait to find out who she is
A sketch of a young woman with pointed ears and unkempt, wavy hair held by a headband. She has makeup under her eyes that resembles long washes, and a clear jacket that ends at chunky bracelets with similar lashes engraved.

Watching @vulpixie.bsky.social and @shenpai.gay 's FFXIV lore is putting me through the ringer o(-<
Thank you again Pixie for allowing me to bring this to life >:3c

#FFXIVSpoilers #SHBSpoilers #SHB
A comic from Vulpixie's lore of her character in FFXIV post-shadowbringers. Panel 1. Vul stands, her legs shaking as she faces a fire. Panel 2. Clutching at her shirt, Vul shivers and shakes, mouth agape as her hair sticks to her face. "It's so... hot." Panel 3. Vul stands, tiny and insignificant in the face of a raging inferno amidst a ruined lobby. Panel 1. A light ember singes Vul's bandaged hand. Panel 2. She recoils in fear. Panels 3 to 6. A spliced image of Vul, tears and sweat rolling down her face as she stares at her shaking hands. In the background a fire roars as her heart pounds louder and louder. "It burns." "It's hot." "It hurts." "It burns!" "It burns!" "Help me!" In red text bubbles, she hears a voice from a past she'd rather forget. "You should've been the one to die. Not her. Enjoy burning in hell, you monster." Panel 7. The fire rages on, the sound of her heartbeat as palpable as the flames. Panel 8. A hand rests on her shoulder, comforting. Panel 1. Voxer, with a hand on V'ul's shoulder, steps past. V'ul looks up with surprise, her heart still pounding. "Steady on, V'ul. Deep breaths," Voxer tells her. Panel 2. Voxer, extending a hand with a look of concerned determination, as if he too has had his mind taken elsewhere by the fire, tells her: "We're going to do this together." Panel 3. V'ul looks up at Voxer, tears in her eyes as she clutches her shirt. Her beating heart has calmed. Panel 4. V'ul shakly extends her hand towards Voxer's. Panel 5. Voxer squeezes his hand tight around V'uls. Panel 1. Voxer and V'ul rush head-first into the inferno. Determination claim's Voxer's face. V'ul follows, hand in hand, her tears still present but her mind set, trusting her friend. "Don't let go."

Panel 1. Voxer looks at Vul with concern. Panel 2. vul realizes that he isn't G'raha Tia, and retracts her hand, bleary-eyed. Voxer tries to speak to her. "Oh thank the twelve- Stay with me V'ul, I'll get you out of here. We'll meet with the others later, let them handle things-" Panel 3. Vul grasps Voxer's shirt, a tear coming down her face. G'raha's blood is still on her face. She interrupts him. "-couldn't do it." A back shot of Voxer running away with V'ul in his arms. Vul says. "I couldn't do it. I wasn't strong enough."
