ffxiv comic page panel 1: "And in that moment, beneath the waves, I knew what must be done." The exarch sits battered in Emet-Selch's cell. panel 2: "Still, it beloathed me to admit it; how it fills me with trepidation," His hands are bound. panel 3: "even after all these years...even after witnessing this scene" He casts a glance down, grim and apprehensive. panel 4: "so many, many times before." Flashback to a much younger G'raha Tia in the Ocular surrounded by shattered crystals; his own doing.

my take on how he escaped the tempest...

One of my favorite past times is seeing how people portray in art and writing how Emet antagonizes the Exarch.

I just like seeing the Exarch be teased/bully/flustered from time to time in different situations.😭❤️😏😉

I'm glad you see the vision! Also same, they owe me a lot of money in emotional damages 😭

Glad we can agree on this 😌😈

You bet, thanks for sharing your writing and providing the inspiration!

Getting over my drawing fears one by one by illustrating my favorite scenes from fics I've been reading. This time was archiveofourown.org/works/71837696 by @arkinfluffson.bsky.social. Toxic Emetraha at its best!

a meme with two hands holding words : "the deep desire to be creative" vs "the inherent need to recover my energy from surviving reality"

I feel seen

Thanks so much for the compliment, it made my day! These two have been slow-burning on me for so long, it feels so good to finally put out content and interact about them 😆 Here's to more of it in the future!

put him in a blender

digital sketches depicting G'raha being tormented by the business end of a gun.

Inevitable doodles born of being unable to get @mochamorii.bsky.social 's fic out of my head.

Nothing like another post-take-home-programming-assignment rejection followed up by some notes on bsky to remember how fandom will always appreciate you more than any company even if you don't do big numbers.

m-me too... creepy exarch long time no see

More inktober catchup. I'm learning new ways to translate my sketchbook pages to digital thanks to Krita. #emetraha #inktober

Catching up on Inktober pictures, like this Waddle Dee dressed as a ghost.

I've said this before elsewhere but I'm thinking about it more lol

It's a lot easier to like/appreciate my own imperfect writing now that it's so clear that imperfection is so crucial to the humanity of art.

I'm still harsh on myself but I no longer hate my own work for being flawed and it's nice

ty @lalelulelo.bsky.social and @almandines.bsky.social for implanting this in my head

Pencil sketches of a guzmania, foxglove, cornflower, iris, and daylily.

Going back to the basics so I can learn how to draw plants; these are imitations of various flowers I found online. #flowers #sketch

Maintaining the will to create lately has felt like that game where you have to make the bird or jetpack-person fly above and below obstacles and you only have one life so every hit is back to the beginning. Entering my "consuming lots of media and practicing wonder" era instead for now.

Smoky red pepper, cheese and bean burgers. These juicy, smoky burgers are easy to make and great served stacked high in buns with salad and some vegan cheddar melted over them. www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2018/06/smok... #vegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #vegansky
