ooohhh at this point in Ihme's story it's definitely changed, but there WAS a point in the past where she absolutely despised G'raha
#AruOCs #Spiritstow
#AruOCs #Spiritstow as much as i enjoyed the arcadion story, i've decided that it's probably not something that happened in Ihme's canon (not her scene, she'd rather hang out in tulliyollal instead pf alexandria during her downtime). it IS however, canon to maiko :)
A rough doodle of three Ancients: Heracles who holds the seat of Azem (a tall woman with short blond hair and sharp magenta eyes), Hanan the holder of the seat of Fandaniel (a short young scholar with long wavy black hair, tied up in a ponytail, and blue eyes), and Achelous who holds the seat of Emet-Selch (a voluptous woman with faded green hair and white streaks, and bright green eyes).
some familiar faces #AruOCs #Spiritstow
An old illustration of Ceru'a (Elijah) Vhoslo, a miqo'te with braided black hair and blue eyes. He is depicted wearing the starter gear, with gold accessories.

I don't see Ihme ever dying in the middle of her adventures anytime soon. She'll probably live to her 90s and be that grandma with 1 million crazy stories to tell her future kids. Our journey will never end et cetera et cetera

Ihme should be around 26-27 years old by dawntrail ??
#AruOCs #Spiritstow looking at this makes me laugh
A new old dress.

Just for a little while.

#AruOCs #Spiritstow Ceru'a is very comfy with showing skin !! He knows he looks good so showing off his body comes very naturally to him
Ihme is rather indifferent, but she does prefer to dress modestly most times. She only started dressing lighter around dawntrail
#AruOCs #Spiritstow
I think Ihme would start asking for and looking for her brother and will not stop crying until she finds him π

These are OLD but theyβre the only doodles I have of an idea I had of primal vhoslosβ¦
I like to think that Apolaki and Mayari were born from the desperation of whatever civilization was still left during the 8th umbral calamityβ
The fact that there's a starset song literally titled icarus is divine intervention to me. am putting this in the #Spiritstow playlist

Rough sketches of Hanan
Rough sketches of Icarus
Chibi illustrations of Hanan and Icarus
some old #Spiritstow scribbles, when i first started brainstorming Ica and Hanan. might go back and tweak Ica's design at some point tho
They have a mentor-mentee relationship..!! Hanan regards Icarus very highly and looks up to them, even when Icarus is always away on their expeditions
In #Spiritstow Azem's name is Icarus...!! Just thought it would fit nicely for someone that was born to travel the cosmos.
Ihme and Ceru'a's ancient is named Hanan! Named them after the goddess of dawn from tagalog mythology π
In #LongDownandWinded, her scar is from an altercation with the captain of her old skypirate crew
In #Spiritstow, her injury is from partial light corruption from her visit to the First. It's barely noticeable during the day, but her eye does slightly glow in the dark...!

But they had a special interest in optics and plantlife. Whether or not it was a coincidence that Elpis flowers started appearing around the same time they started working in Elpis is unknown.

Rough sketches depicting Ihme. Most notable of the sketches depicts her reaching out to a stone above her, as she brandishes her sword.

Excerpt from Spiritstow, a FFXIV fanfic, that reads: "Through the aetherial sea, we shall be reborn. And your search for an answer must start again. But it does not mean you would start alone." The specter smiles at him, and Ceru'a offers a hand for him to take. "Such curious creatures, you ancient ones... Perhaps, in the next life⦠We shall be granted a kinder answer. Together." Still, his despondency relents. "You⦠Azem's progeny⦠After all I've done to you⦠You would offer me such undeserved pity?" Ceru'a and his genuine smile does not wane. "Far from it. I would like for my journey into the beyond to be a little less lonely. Won't you keep me company?"

Koana and Ihme-- going by different identites-- during their time in Sharlayan.
Excerpt from Spiritstow, a FFXIV fanfic, that reads: βIf it interests you that much, maybe I can take you with me.β She says it so casually, unaware of the weight her words held on Koanaβs heart. βEorzea is but a short sail away. We can start there.β He could only look at her, as though peering through a gate of boundless possibilities. If they were back at the shores of Tuliyollal, he would have given a more resolute answer. No, he would say. I would not abandon my duties. But Tuliyollal was worlds away, with Koana the Second Promise whiling his hours away into making his peopleβs lives a little easier. Here, at this moment, he is Tβvhel Tia. And it was easy to see Tβvhel take her up on her offerβ to start anew someplace far away, with nothing but the clothes on his back, his pistol on one hand, and Ellisβ hand on the other. Koana tips his head away the moment he feels that all too familiar warmth on his cheeks. β...That would be nice.β
one of the newer stuff ive been writing in my free time. hehe.
