An image of Imani in the dark. She is surrounded by the ghosts of Haurchefant and Ysayle as Nidhogg's shade looms in the center of the image.

#AuRaApril2026 Day 10: Heavens(Ward)
Heavensward was one of the expansions where a LOT happened to Imani in such a short amount of time. Meant to go with a "promo style" with this shot for Imani's 3.1 NG+ run. ☺️
#gposers #ShotsBySkai #AuRaApril

An image of Imani laying down in a dimly lit room, she is laying the bed as the eye of Nidhogg glows behind her, as if staring at her.

#AuRaApril2026 Day 9: Melancholy
"Is this what Estinien felt all this time?"
The consequence of a Nidhogg influenced Inner Beast awakening is that even his vengeful spirit haunts Imani.

#AuRaApril2026 Day 8: Stars

I should really make a new winter Garlemald fit for Imani for 7.5 MSQ since I haven't updated her winter outfit since EW. Here's her EW winter fit for reference featuring post In From The Cold ☺️

Imani Delara in Thavnair dressed in a orange saree-inspired glam. She is standing next to her chocobo, Mihri.

Inspired by my LRP and with help of my desi friends irl and online, I tried to style the Story-lover's Top as a saree as respectfully as I could with vanilla assets.

Heavyweight: The Mirror (Savage) 🌊
The glams I made inspired by Deep Blue and Red Hot for Savage prog. Red Hot's look is inspired by both his NPC appearance and boss appearance. Deep Blue is based more on his boss appearance.

While the Arcadion no longer utilizes feral souls, Imani still has her Inner Beast sooo.... I wanted an excuse to do a proper Arcadion competitor g-pose but with Imani as the Grand Champion.

Q: How many times are you gonna update Imani's canon home?
Me: Yes :)
I was originally gonna wait for the housing update but got impatient anyway so here's a sneak peak of what I've been cooking😆

First modded g-pose (2023) vs most recent (2026)
Some days, I do feel insecure about my skills and output but then I remember that I learned so much about lighting, composition and more! I'm not "perfect" but I am happy with my progression and will continue to learn and improve. 🫶
