Sage holding up her soul stone, gazing at it with a distant look

Distant thoughts

#sagepose

Sage kneeling in an aetherial landscape, it looks like a vast ocean with dark horizons covering the distance. She reaches its hand towards the brighter sky filled with stars

Reach for the stars

#sagepose

Sage sitting in a field of Elpis flowers in a green dress. It holds up a flower which is glowing with a greenish hue, matching the glow on it's visible eye.

Dynamis

#sagepose

Sage standing in front of a tall window, backlit by rays of sunlight. It's nouliths stand in formation behind it, mimicking wings.

Radiant

#sagepose

Close up cause I'm so obsessed with it

#sagepose

Sage drifting in a starry sky, aetherial currents forming like auroras in the distance as it gazes away in the distance, reaching out in the air for something.

Adrift

#sagepose

Sage sitting on the steps of a park, leaning against an umbrella

Sage tentatively looking out from behind a leafy pillar

Sage looking up from it's book while seated on a couch

Sage in a battlefield, reaching out towards the viewer with floating nouliths behind it

Really wanted to pose it but don't have the energy for a super detailed pose so I just made a bunch of outfits for it and some quick poses to go with them

#sagepose

Sage, a doll-like construct holding aloft the Soul Crystal that functions as her "heart", it emanates a gentle blue-green glow

What is a heart? Does this one have it?

#sagepose

These two currently! Really trying to play with lighting and environment

A few, but one of the most prominent is from Million by Divide Music

🎶I will go to the edge with a smile
A promise that I'm keeping
I've got a million reasons
I will hold you safe in my arms
A promise that I'm keeping
You're one in a million🎶

Comparisons, this time with as little lighting discrepancy as possible

#SagePose #viera #gposers #paladin

Though I've tweaked parts around it over the years, I just can't get away from the Reverence Cuirass glam. The shiny plate armor, the striking non-bulky silhouette, and the big colorful cape. It just screams hero, and paladin to me and I love it.

#SagePose #viera #paladin

These would have to be my four favorites!

#SagePose #SageLyna #CalLyse #wolxnpc #gposers

Two Viera children looking out on a starry sky, talking to each other

Two Viera adults, on the same balcony, looking out at the night sky sharing stories

When they were kids, Sage and his sister were in awe of the heavens; the stories they told and the powers they held.

While that inspiration took them in different directions, that selfsame interest remains.

Y'shtola stands in a library browsing a bookshelf. "Hmm... if I compare this research to the data from Cid's devices, then maybe..."

Sylvia pops out from behind a shelf, offering a jubilant greeting to Y'shtola who seems visibly annoyed. Sylvia: Y'shtola! Hi! Fancy meeting you here! Y'shtola: (Gods help me) ... Sylvia. To what do I owe the pleasure? Sylvia: As a matter of fact, a certain Warrior of Light mentioned that you were researching something and I was- Y'shtola: No. Sylvia: ...No?

Y'shtola and Sylvia stand in front of the bookshelf, talking. Both are upset and annoyed. Yshtola: I don't know what you're after, but I will thank you for not using me to exert your will on Sage. Sylvia: Wh-! Why do you think I-!? Y'shtola: He told me about how you ambushed him on Vylbrand. How you stole his soul crystals and threw them into Bronze Lake. Sylvia: ...Ah. That's something... I regret. It was shortsighted, and something I'm trying to make amends for.

Y'shtola and Sylvia continue arguing. Y'shtole growing more annoyed and Sylvia more concerned. Y'shtola: Make amends by... meddling in my research about crossing reflections? Sylvia: No! Truly, I want nothing more but to help you, to help him! I promise... Y'shtola: My apologies for being curt, but where Sage is the Warrior of Light to most, to me he's a dear friend. And after hearing of your stunt, I will admit I'm wary. But if you truly want to help, I'll give you my list of research materials and some abridged notes. Actions speak louder than words after all. Sylvia: O-okay! I won't let either him or you down. Thank you Y'shtola.

Making Amends

Sylvia wants to help out with the research on cross reflection travel... much to the chagrin of the resident subject expert.

7 years ago today I started FFXIV. Today is also Sage's nameday!

From a player's vessel, to a proper OC with a personality, friends, family, and love. I'm eager to see where the rest of his journey takes him!

Happy nameday Sage! 🎂

Trying out a new color scheme

#gposers #SagePose #paladin #viera

The M!Viera /pose emote is good, you can tweak the facial expression or pause it partway through to get different vibes from the same singular emote. These are some examples

#SagePose

Better at lighting, implementing a depth of field better, playing with framing, details, angles, and other little flourishes. Getting more comfy with posing tools and features. I want to do more complex shots with groups of people and improve yet even further.

(2019-2024)

#SagePose

Your duty, your purpose, is who you are, the very core of your being. You are Soter. You are a protector. You have your role, and however grim the odds, however much it hurts, however alone you are. You must fight, and protect, and do your duty...

...Until your last breath is spent.

#SagePose

This but like dozens of them because I was trying to solve a color display discrepancy between my monitor, my game, and my eyes. It's fixed now but man...

#SagePose

Brainstorming

Sylvia wants to help bridge the gap between reflections/bring Lyna to the Source, to little success....

There's still some wounds to heal and mending to do between siblings, but there's at least communication now. Incremental progress is still progress....right?

#SagePose #SageLore

Pulling out a Disney Hercules reference for All Saint's Wake, because why not?

#SagePose #SageLyna

I really like how this one turned out. I try to strike that balance of "daring adventurer" and "kind soul" with him, and this one seems to do that well for me.

#SagePose

#SagePose #SageLyna

"Before you know it, somebody else will be looking up to you for a change!"

Something something "generational parallels" I don't know, seeing these two shots together from different projects makes me happy.

#SagePose

If you see this, post a knight

Invoking the "knight" part of "The Vermilion Knight"

#SagePose

These are it for me. Sage and Lyna's both have very involved roles and are generally serious people. So giving each other permission to be soft, relaxed, joyful, and themselves means a lot to me.
