Canon divergent Hermes mockups, for my own notes until I find a reference tool for writing / art that works for me. None of this is final to my canon.

If anyone was curious, I made a #HermesXIV scent a while back, and since the official fragrances ignored him, and here's what's in mine:

Image of handwritten scrawl on a yellowed postcard. It reads, “I wonder how the bird whose wings were cut off looks at the sky? With rage? With regret? With grief? Despair? Love? Peace?”

I had to work for like a week straight have a Hermes ( I miss him )

☽ #halvedhekateart ☾

Hermes as an unsundered Ascian, donning the signature robes, his glyph illuminated across his face he casts a side glance and smiles in a mocking manner

Bitter amusement.

Iris and Hermes in a loving pose. Hermes runs his fingers thru Iris's hair. To the right is a similar pose of Ascian robed Hermes (Fandaniel) running his hand thru Aeri's hair, the other hand untying her neck ribbon. Iris and Hermes wear looks of adoration. Fandaniel and Aeri with looks of both disdain and desire.

Aeri caught between two versions of Hermes -- one more sinister wearing ascian robes, clutching her chin with clawed glove, the other weeping as she looks away from him

Hermes from FFXIV is soothing the rare Lv 1 Steinbock in Coerthas. The beast is squinting its eyes in joy from being pet very gently and appears like it is smiling.

I think Hermes and Lv 1 the would get along well 🥹

Some older megane Hermes shots

#HermesXIV

portrait shot of Hermes. He wears a white shirt, a tailored deep green vest and a red tie. His eyes are washed out due to the green light reflected in his glasses. Green light illuminate his features.

Chief of the hour ⌛.

#Hermesxiv

close-up of Hermes. He wears a white shirt, a tailored deep green vest and a red tie. His eyes are out of frame, but the bottom edge of his glasses are visible. Behind him the light of the barrack gives him a soft halo effect. His hands rests on a glass of liquor (mixed on the rocks).

Zoomed out shot of the scene, Hermes is sitting in a bar in Solution 9. His kerukeion rests on his lap, his one hand keeping it balanced. He appears contemplative, his gaze downcast and hidden behind the fringe of his hair. A green light illuminates him in this dark futuristic bar. Melancholy is one of its bartenders, but she is not visible in the shot, yet the caption of this gpose specifies that Hermes is her patron, implying he is a regular. His staff, the kerukeion, is in modern times misattributed to medicine and pharmacy, but it is far more commonly associated with trade and innovation in capitalistic societies, hence this symbol and Hermes / Mercury still see prevalance in modern iconography especially in regards to technological progress. My intend with this gpose was to illustrate how capitalistic societies gatekeep healthcare, well-being and access to eligatarian community behind the wall of wealth and class, and how Solution Nine thrives on this at the cost of the souls of the other shards it has invaded. The memories of their departed are preserved at this great cost, alongside the longevity of the people who benefit off the exploitation of the land and life of people it invades. Perhaps Hermes sits in resignation, still unable to find an answer to the corruptive stagnation of man in the shadow of progress and longevity.

A cityscape shrouded in bright blue light and fog, a skyscaper stands taller of it all now emerges in the background. While Hermes may physically be in the bar as indicated by his green hue, his consciousness is in the clouds, looking down upon Solution Nine from above. Now he appear as a god, spirit or psychopompos: Is he taking a break from this supernatural work? Does he regard himself as above Calyx' and Preservations ideals and efforts? Is he lonely? All three?

Melancholy's patron 🥃.

In a forest, Hermes is tied to a tree, arms stretched out wide. His head is gone, darkened Elpis flowers sprouting out of his neck. In the foreground, Triodia sits on the grass with Hermes' head in her lap, smiling serenely. Hermes' head is surrounded by lilies. Sunshine shines down over Triodia.

CW: disembodied head, decapitated person, no blood

Hermes and Venat stand on a floor made of stars. Their backs face the camera. The background is a starry sky with Etheirys in the center with the 13 reflections surrounding it. Sidra sits on a golden throne with red cushions in a ornate black and white priest-like outfit with her wrists shackled and hands folded as if in prayer. She's glaring at the camera. Red scaly wings sprout from her back, one upright and one downturned. And a glowing halo hovers over her head, dripping blood onto Sidra, running all over her, down her clothes and onto the floor, flowing behind her to stain Hermes and Venat's robes.

Triodia, a Black woman with long dark purple locs and golden eyes, is an angel in white robes with a golden rope tied around her waist. She's holding an Elpis flower to her nose with a smile. She's flying over Hermes, a brown man with blue hair and green eyes, who is holding a bouquet of Elpis flowers, smiling back at Triodia. He wears a green jacket with gold trim and belt, with a dark blue tie and pants. Flower petals and feathers flutter in the air around them. The background is a blue sky with a few clouds.
