Dance with me! - [ FFXIV, Commission ]

I put a lot of thought into this one - especially the border, as I wanted to include all of the DNC motiffs (rose, leaf, bird and crown) and some that were relevant to the character's backstory (the coeurl). They all got in there, somehow!You could say that 90% of this piece was overthinking. The rest was screaming at Photoshop for not blending colors properly. Hope you like it!Onwards with the rest of the comms list!

Onyrica streams: 12 September, 2019

In which I lose my mind blending pretty colors.

Onyrica streams: 2 August, 2019 (Q&A session)

In which I paint a bit of everything and slap some red lines over people's doodles.

Pick your Primal! [ September Poll ]

This poll is brought to you by my Discord's terrible (aka, genius) influence. I had nothing to do with this. Mostly.I've been wanting to draw primals for an age, so now you get a chance to pick a flavour of regret. You can choose 1 option and the poll closes Sept 30!Now fall...

WIP - Dance with me! [ Ylva Treise, FFXIV ]

A really fun commission I'm working on for a friend and resident Static DNC, Ylva Treise.If this was a combat scene, the piece would instead showcase an empty platform and a small flailing dot at the bottom of the abyss.=](I've not forgotten about the Patreon rewards folk! They will be going out first thing tomorrow. Much love for your patience! <3)

Young Emet-Selch [ FFXIV, Patreon exclusive ]

This was a personal sketch I started on a very bumpy train ride, after idle conversations with a friend about what Emet would look like with long hair - maybe when he was younger, and optimistic and had a bright future ahead of him as the Architect, thinking up new ways to make Amaurot a city of dreams and......I am so far down this rabbit hole, someone, please drop a flashlight in here. Q_QAnyway, this is a Patreon exclusive for you my pretties,...

She protecc - [ FFXIV, Commission ]

The first commission of the new batch - featuring femRoe Eirlys and the Exarch. I can't even - the cute aggression consumes me. Hngkjdhgdfmgn.

Blood for the Blood Lily - [ FFXIV ]

A personal piece (yes I know, what is this, ARTMAGGEDON?!) of my FFXIV White Mage. This was such a fun piece to work on - about as fun as watching that Blood Lily hit a 6-digit crit while your tank is dying.*giddy shudder*You can also find an alt version and the lineart in the thumbnails below!

Original ShB armor design! [ Poll ]

So lately I've been getting back into creating my own armor and gear designs as a form of wish fullfilment (oh White Mage chestplate, one day... one day....). This made me think of designing FFXIV inspired armors that we would've liked to have instead of all the tapioca-colored rehashes from Heavensward.You may pick one option from the below (or add your idea in the comments). Additionally, please do leave a comment with what job/class yo...

Loyalty Rewards || Batch 13

Testing this new Patreon gallery system! Though I often wonder if it's better to upload these sketches in batches or individually...What do you guys prefer?-----What's a "loyalty reward"?Patrons on tiers Intermediate and above get a free loyalty bonus after a certain amount of time pledged: Intermediate patrons get a full color chibi after every 12 months pledged. Advanced patrons get a full color chibi or a lineart bust after eve...

His Inspiration - [ FFXIV, Patreon Reward ]

“I would ask her about her next adventure, and if she should wish me to be part of it, oh… how happy it would make me. Together we would travel the lands and cross the seas and take to the skies upon the eternal wind… My heart swells simply to imagine it.”A Patreon reward for Vere (I normally bundle these, but this precious boy is special <3)

Behind the Art: July 2019 / Timelapse, no sound

This should have gone in yesterday's rewards, but as chance would have it every month, when it isn't Premiere imploding it's youtube getting stuck at 95% processing. I need a seady supply of paper baggies to hyperventilate into.ANYWAYS! Welcome to the July episode of Behind the Art, feturing a timelapse of two pieces painted in very different styles: Darkflare, a WoW worgen - painted as a full lineless render - and Feo Ul, from FFXIV ...

August updates + Art Challenge

Hard to tear your eyes away from The Great Serpent of Ross - or as I like to call him, Bob Scree - isn't it? As it should be. One does not look past His glory, though important as the update might be.Alas, while I have your attention: Hi! Let's make this quick.CommissionsJuly was an exercise in desktop acrobatics, as I came back from a brief vacation into the tallest pile of work I've had so far. Three gallons of coffee and an unhealt...

Hail the King - [ Feo Ul, FFXIV ]

This was going to be a quick, one afternoon piece and then two days and 3 different watercolor textures later... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯It turned out pretty shiny and it'll make a nice wallpaper in this month's rewards! Speaking of which... they should be going out tomorrow. I hope. Please sit tight. <3

Aldorae's pride [ WoW, Commission ]

Finally got around to coloring this lady with the majestic cheekbones. I loved drawing/painting this - especially that mermaid hair. Hnng.(Sorry for the repost- Patreon managed to delete the image and somehow make the post uneditable in the last one...)

Darkflare: Chrem - [ WoW, Commission ]

The finished version of the worgen lineart I posted a while back. This was a huge challenge and tons of fun and I look forward to the next time I get to draw this good girl.

Before the Storm - [ FFXIV, Commission ]

A commission for Vere, of her femroe Eirlys and Estinien, enjoying the better days of Heavensward.The outfit on the right is my own design. Meanwhile, the detailing on the Drachen Mail nearly took out my hand. Trust a DRG to have insanely intricate armor, for all the good it does when they stand in aoe. I’m sure the floor loves it.

Aldorae - [ WoW, Commission ]

I finished this lineart a while back but I'm only just catching my tail in publishing things!This was a piece I'd been looking forward to working on for quite a while, as elves + long hair + sharp cheekbones are the end all be all of art.This one should hopefully be painted in the next few days!

Emet-Selch [ FFXIV ]

What a game, what an expac, what a villain... oof, my poor heart.I wanted to capture the flipside of Emet's cocky "who cares" disposition in this piece - the side of him you only see towards the end of the game. His vulnerability totally caught me by surprise and I was still thinking about it days after I finished the game.I'd really like to color this and when I do it might not be spoiler free, so chop chop if you haven't fin...

Scarlet Dusk WIP - [ Wow, Commission ]

An early work in progress of my first worgen commission. I am having a lot of fun working on this one, which is why I felt like posting up a preview.

Shadowbringers poll!

While I had originally planned to go for a summer-themed poll, after finishing the latest FFXIV expansion I feel emotionally compelled to dedicate this month's poll to this amazing game. Like, it was seriously my-heart-can't-handle-it good.As per previous months, the poll will remain open until the end of the month and I will attempt to draw as many pieces as possible out of the top options. You may pick 3 choices (if you vote for more, I...

Virtue Humanitas - [ FFXIV ]

Someone save me from the FFXIV rapture - I'm forgetting how to draw! D:The third of the Virtue-Sineater series, whereby I transform the lovely WoLs of 7 of my patrons into Light abominations. This one was inspired on an au'ra model, where I imagined the horns and scales would sprawl all over their face and arms.Definitely very fond of this idea.More coming soon!

Virtue Castitas - [ FFXIV ]

A throne lying emptyA pain incompleteAlone, for eternityA pain without cease...The second of the Virtue-Sineater series, whereby I transform the lovely WoLs of 7 of my patrons into Light abominations.Man I am loving this little project!

Virtue Humilitas - [ FFXIV ]

What if Hydaelyn didn't want to let her children embrace the darkness? What if she tried to overpower them? What if she took over their will until they were completely pure?This was a fun idea I had on the run up to Shadowbringers, of turning people's WoL into sineaters. Then I decided that I would make 7 of them - one for each virtue.The WoLs were kindly volunteered by some of my lovely patrons in the Discord channel - so if you're n...

Leliana - [ Dragon Age ]

The second pick from the rainbow poll! Though admittedly she was tied with Korra/Asami, but since I'd already done one lesbian couple I thought I'd go for a bisexual icon.I still remember how torn I was between her and Alistair on my first playthrough...I went with the bi-flag colors for the background and the feathers associated with her ravens for the frame. I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of the composition, but I do like how th...
