A painted image of some stony ancient ruins in Rak'tika, a zone in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 21 - Fave ShB Zone
This was a hard tie between the Tempest and Raktika but I went with the latter. A view of the Ronkan ruins to the North of Fanow
#FF14
A painted image of Lydha Lran in Il Mheg, an area in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 20 - Fave society quest area
It was a tie between Svarna for the Arksadora and Lydha Lran for the pixies, but I did want to paint the flowers of Il Mheg (and also bc I've painted a fair bit of Thavnair already). The sky was acting crazy when I went though
#FF14
A painted image of a view in the Crystarium, a city in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 19 - Fave city/town
Another difficult choice for me but I went with the Crystarium. So much gorgeous architecture and warm wooden paneling. Happened to be raining when I went!
#FF14
A painted image of a swampy lake in the Font of Maya, Thavnair - a zone in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 18 - Thavnair
The Font of Maya; Thavnair has so many gorgeous views to pick from, it was difficult to choose just one. But I love this moody little lake
#FF14
A painted image of Lakeland, a zone in hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 17 - Zone most frequently teleported to
Currently Lakeland while I finish the dwarf society quests, though sometimes I'll stay just to listen to the night theme
#FF14
An image of the Dairyu range, an area in a Stormblood dungeon from the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 16 - Fave SB dungeon
Swallow's Compass for me, mainly for the aesthetics and views. I nearly picked the underwater segment, but the view of the Dairyu range at the top of the dungeon is breathtaking
#FF14
A painted image of Gangos, an area in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 15 - Fave day theme
Is it cheating to say Gangos even though it only has the 1 variant?? It was hard to pick since I have a lot of favourites, but I find myself listening to the Gangos theme on repeat some days
#FF14
A painted image of the Bokairo hot springs in Kugane, a city zone in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Dat 14 - Fave Stormblood Zone
Kugane is really such a beautiful city! The hot springs tucked behind the Bokairo Inn are a nice little getaway, a little hidden gem in a maze of streets
#FF14
A painted image of an upside down castle called the Antitower, a dungeon in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 13 - Fave Heavensward Dungeon
The Antitower, bc every time I get it in roulettes it instantly makes me sleepy lol
But it's also a turning point in the MSQ for this expac I feel, esp for what it meant for the scions going forward (and setup for SHB later)
#FF14
A painted image of the Dawn Throne with the Dusk Mother overlooking it, in the Azim Steppe - an area in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 12 - Othard
There's a uhhhhh certain statue of the Dusk Mother on the Azim Steppe. I was real good at admiring it during those Namazu quests
#FF14
A painted image of a small frog sitting amongst glowing ferns under a wisteria tree, inspired by a housing area in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 11 - Fave place to AFK
Maybe it's cheating to say my house <:) but I just love staring at the poroggo statue in the small pond out front, beneath the wisteria tree
##FF14
A view of a draconic tower in front of a mountainside in the morning in the Dravanian Forelands, an area in hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 10 - Any mountainous zone (10m)
A blue morning in the Dravanian Forelands, Anyx Trine
#FF14
A painted image of the Ruby Sea at night, with a volcanic island in the distance, an area in hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 9 - Any beach or ocean zone (~20m)
The Ruby Sea, even though I hated traversing this map doing all those Kojin quests
Still super pretty at night!
#FF14
A painting of the Radz-at-Han aetheryte, an area in the critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 8 - View from Return Aetheryte (~20m)
Currently set to Radz, since I've been trying to catch up on all those ShB/EW S ranks lmao
A painted image of the Churning Mists, a zone in hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 7 - Fave Heavensward Zone
Churning Mists for me; I always thought the floating islands mixed in with architecture was beautiful...with the added whimsy of the moogles and majesty of the dragons
Trying to be looser with these🤔
#FF14
A painted image of Amdapor Keep, a dungeon in hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 6 - Favourite ARR Dungeon (~1 hr)
Amdapor Keep hands down; the music, the lore about the Mhachi/6th Umbral Calamity, the vibes...truly immaculate. I nearly did the exterior of the rotting citadel, but couldnt resist the gorgeous interior where Diabolos resides
#FF14
A painted image of a place in Coerthas, an area in the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 5 - Coerthas (~45 min)
Boulder Downs, in Coerthas Central Highlands - it was so foggy when I went there, but not snowing!
#FF14
A painted image of an area in the black shroud, from the hit mmo Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea - Day 4 - The Black Shroud (~45 min)
East Shroud, between Nine Ivies and Larkscall - there's a small river nestled between the treeline that you can only see if you fly over it. A moody little creek if I ever found one 🖌️
#FF14
A painted image of Central Thanalan, from the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14
#PleinEorzea Day 3 - Thanalan (30 min paint)
Central Thanalan, West of the Black Brush Station aetheryte!
Not as happy with this one but it's helping me figure out what I need to prioritize while painting 🤔
#FF14
Painting of scenery from hit MMO Final Fantasy 14 - an exploded blue crystal ruin with a sunset backdrop
#PleinEorzea Day 2 - La Noscea
That big exploded crystal West of the Moraby Drydocks aetheryte...I know it's leftover from the Calamity, but it's just so pretty
Another 30 min quick paint
#PleinEorzea - Day 1: Favourite Starter City-State
Limsa for me ⛵
