Right! I zoomed as far as I could but the details were still blurry for me to make it out.
But case closed, someone replied with the exact wine bottle and turns out XIV had a wine collab I wasn't aware of back then 😭
WHAT. FFXIV HAD A WINE COLLAB???
ALSO YES IM CRYING LAUGHING this is the Exact Wine in her story. NOOOO I'M SAD i didnt have the courage to reply and ask her directly 2 years ago, i couldve had a XIV irl friend 😭😭😭😭😭😭
TRUE TRUE... my brain was just a bit befuddled at how he looks like Endwalker Meteor but he's a Warrior in this......
XIV MOOTS I NEED HELP
so a super normie irl acquaintance of mine posted this with some wine and xmas decor in 2023/4 and I whiplashed so hard bc. isnt this. meteor FFXIV…
but i tried google reverse image search and nothing came out and i’m just so curious but i dont wanna ask her directly JFKAJDKD
oH TRUE… i never thought about that tbh but it’s very “marketable plush”able that I thought it would have more merch… 😔
i agree that constant :0 face is very cute :)c
OHH REUNICLUS a friend of mine tried to get it several times but it’s always super quick to sell out 😭 godspeed with the hunt!
and the Goodra sitting cutie is so cute too…. good choices honestly 🥹
Carbink's the perfect size to put in a PVC pouch as a bag charm too! Some of their sizes are a bit too big and chonky to pass off as a charm nonchalantly (my vulpix....)
Dang that's unfortunate :( they made the diva madge 😔
He's just a lil guy, love him! 😭
AND YESSS i love it when people have more than one plush of the same mon for different places... it adds to the charm
AHAHAH WAIT i love the carbink sitting cutie! They did an amazing job, it looks very friend shaped 😭
this is my alolan vulpix pokemon fit / sitting cutie! she's my favorite pokemon and her neck can fit my bracelets as accessories nicely 🥺
i wish more people can bring their fave pokemon fit plushes wherever they go, perhaps as bag charms instead of labubus?
post yours here! 👀
and of course, no AI. some tips that I learned from 2020ish that I still do include: golden ratio for nice comps, framing with effects, play with blur for movement illusion, render BG first before the main thing to help set the ambience and shade it better (not flat), use gradient maps
--point >> render everything else + adjust colors + final effects sprinkle
this is an illust for a card art competition irl (hence my being scared if i post on X) and this is how I preeetty much do all my full blown illusts
posting this here first bc i'm lowkey scared someone i know irl follows me on X bc they like pokemon WWWW (i don't want my irls to know my art accounts... yet...)
a summary of my jumpy full illust process!
rough draft > sketch > lines > base colors > effects and BG > render the main focal--
decided to open pokemon oc design cms for the first time.... 👉👈
the 180 is flat so feel free to check it out if you'd like!
⚡️MORI's 2026 CATALOGUE⚡️
Hello hello! I'm going to be done with all of my queue this week so I'm reopening for regular team illusts (now with a new 1-4 Pokemon option) and Rotom Phones!
#Pokemon30th #Pokemon30thAnniversary
welp.
back to the drawing table it is.
I’m currently researching vivo and oppo, hoping perhaps either one of them would fit what I’m looking for but if push comes to shove… then I might reconsider 🍎 after all 😔
and i have been quite in love with huawei’s 80 pura ultra… I was even willing to be ok with no GMS since i don’t use them that frequent for work and was ok with Petal maps so imagine my heartbreak when I realized that the one app my work made and is crucial for my job does not support HarmonyOS…..
I’ve been researching phones for a few weeks now… I found I’m not fond of 🍎 bc of the fomo / upgrade every year & overpriced factor. I also don’t think I’m going samsung bc it doesnt have camera upgrades but is way pricier now bc of processor. so the other options are chinese phones
UWEHHH CRIES TYSM JUNO,,, 🥹🤧
YESSSSS i’m so glad you noticed ramy! 🥹
it was definitely inspired by jiangshi talismans and absol’s fabulous bangs
UWEHHH REIII THANKIES SO MUCH... 😭😭
man sometimes inspo strikes and my hands must move... 😔 and thank you for noticing the details! :"")))c
HEHEHEH I've been slowly getting into xianxia and cultivation lore lately so i'm glad you think so! 🥺🥺 thank you so much 🤍
thankies jimmy! i’m glad you think so ;v;7
this is my new pokemon trainer oc daughter yaoling and some design notes i made!
seems like she’s rather fond of ghost-, dark-, and dragon-type pokemon? 🤔
ueueee she’s so princess…. 😭🤲
i really like the scholarly look of the Qing hanfus so her top is heavily inspired by that…
i was gonna make her hair teal bc it looked fun but… she ended up looking like miku that way…..
actually yeah you’re right she’s our daughter, i can see her having that creeper girlie energy i associate with “This is Very Lin-Core” 😭😂😭😂😭
thinking…. design wip of my creepy botanist/reaper-inspired Pokemon trainer daughter, just in time for qingming :)c
i want her to be cute but will still bite your head off!
and then having Sindersfell and Amaurot parallels… the Sin Eater and revenant-turned-Wanderer parallels, the flowers, how KoD Xavier was practically the parallel of the Exarch…
yea I am eating good with this stuff. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
that scratched the right spot in my brain with a combo wombo of being a key puzzle piece that bridges his first myth and main story, AND having so many crumbs of SHB/EW in it—my two fave XIV expacs…
like… tell me that “it’s been long time” isn’t just “tis good to see you awake g’raha tia” 😭
