digital painting of buffy and dawn summers dressed like thancred and ryne from ffxiv

"She's not my sister!"
"She doesn't know that."

digital painting of my wol becoming a lightwarden, set in the purple forests of lakeland. agape emits so much light that it's difficult to make out any details of his form

same image as before, but with the exposure lowered enough to make out agape's features. his scythe, arm, and ribbons are stark white against the dimmed background

overexposed

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

Magical healing is a tricky thing. Truly talented practitioners must posses both a prodigious strength of aether and expert undestanding of medical technique. As a fundamentally generative art, it is a race against the body's natural healing processes (1/4)

Digital portrait of Nishikiyama Akira from the Yakuza series with his YK1 appearance; palette limited largely to sterile blues and vibrant reds; the red reflecting in his hair mimics the blood he used to slick it back in an iconic scene

looks like you pawned the silver lining around that cloud that follows you (guess that good old push came to shove)

digital illustration showing a scene from the FFXIV Ul'dah starter quest "Under the Sultantree." Thancred stands talking to Nanamo (disguised as "Lady Lilira" while Tyago'a is passed out in the dirt a few feet away clutching a crystal to his chest. Tyago'a's eyes are little X's

Wolcred Week 2024: New Beginnings
truly a match made in heatstroke

#valerianart #wolcred #wolcredweek2024

digital sketch of Thancred and Tyago'a sat on the floor, leaning into each other and holding hands as they doze off

screenshot of a photoshop window showing a digital sketch of Tyago'a running to catch up with Thancred and reaching out his arm toward him. Both are smiling and holding gunblades

Digital illustration of Thancred getting his disheveled hair combed at night. He is in his Heavensward appearance, and looks mildly shellshocked as he experiences human touch for the first time in months

Digital drawing of the end of a fight between Tyago'a and Thancred. Thancred is on the ground, hand reaching fruitlessly toward his fallen gunblade. Tyago'a stands over him, doubled over with both hands driving his zweihander into his own foot - mere inches from Thancred's neck. Blood splatters and pours from the wound. The image is entirely in stark black and white, and both men's faces are obscured by their respective poses

you know what. here

#valerianart #wolcred dont worry about that last one theyre fine

Digital illustration of Thancred hunched over a moonlit and frozen ledge, his face hidden in his hands and his shoulders shaking

Wolcred Week 2024: Snow

#ffxivart #valerianart #wolcredweek2024

Digital illustration of my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a, riding the black chocobo gifted to him by Haurchefant. He is covered from head to toe in white armor - a mix of cloth and metal - and his head is turned away from the camera toward the door in Camp Dragonhead. The foreground is out of focus and obscured by falling snow. The palette is split between the pale blues and whites of the snow, stone, and armor, and the warm and gentle darkness present in the chocobo's feathers, double doors, and coats-of-arms on the walls.

if i'm strong enough to handle this, you're wrong to leave so soon

i forgot to tag this uhhh whoops well #valerianart

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a. it lists his name, age (29), birthday ("5A5"), height (5'5"), and favorite number (2), as well as several draw in boxes. The drawings include a full-body self-portrait with most of the detail in the clothing, a drawing of a sarcosuchus (favorite animal), a lavender crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail ( "the flag of my home country" is crossed out to read "the symbol of my tribe"). The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has a group of feline stickpeople hunting a beast with "A good Hunt this year!" written alongside it.

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Vhaso'a. it lists his name, age (36), birthday ("5th Ast. 5th"), height (5'6"), and favorite number (12), as well as several draw in boxes. The drawings include a detailed close-up self-portrait in full color, a drawing of a blue heron (favorite animal), a royal blue crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail (it is sketchier and less crisp than Tyago'a's). The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has two screenshotted tumblr posts edited together, to read "[scribbled out] some ibuprofen and a blunt and 5 beers and a head injury and jacking off and killing myself [scribbled out] [handwritten] and then [scribbled out] wake up at 3 pm, play videogames until it's 3 am while I'm watching anime in another window, gorge myself on friend chicken, kiss the homies goodnight and pass out on my vibrator"

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a - this time drawn and written entirely with my (non-dominant) left hand. it lists his name, age ("[crossed out question marks] 36"), birthday ("5A5"), height (5'5"), and favorite number (4), as well as several draw in boxes. The drawings include a full-body self-portrait with dark and heavy lines, a drawing of his chocobo Wailmer (favorite animal), a pearl white crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail (now much shakier and with odd proportions). The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has a a group of stickpeople representing the Scions with their hands raised and a smiley face in the air above them. All of the text is written backwards

saw someone prompting this template as a wolqotd a while back and thought it looked fun :3 tyagoa gets two versions - one precanon and one ~endwalker after he's lost his dominant arm :(

digital illustration of Ysayle from FFXIV. she is falling against a bright backdrop with eyes serenely close and hand "raised" (beneath her head on the canvas because her body is upside down) clutching at a mote of light

digital painting of the Word of the Mother from FFXIV. Minfilia is stood with arms crossed in front of the mothercrystal, so harshly backlit as to be almost silhouetted. the light of the crystal shines through her eyes

visual reference for a prosthesis for my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a. half the image consists of bullet-point notes which will be copied in the replies

Finished my notes/mockup for the 2.0 version of Tyago'a's Skysteel prosthesis. It's largely in the same vein as the first one, but with a narrowed scope and improvements in several areas #valerianart #ffxivart

Digital illustration of a Miqo'te from FFXIV. The man is finely dressed and lifting a teacup. The image is in greyscale except for gold accents on his eyes, jewelry, and the rims of the cup and saucer.

Digital Illustration of a different Miqo'te man. His arms are crossed as he turns his head away from the camera with an irritated expression. It is also in greyscale, except for teal accents in the jewelry and background.

Digital illustration of an elezen man looking toward the camera with a sly smile and his arms crossed. A silhouetted bat sits on his shoulder, and he wears garb befitting an skilled artisan. The image is in monochrome purple.

Actually, here's all three of my prize fills so far. I was thinking of trying out comms in this style if anybody's interested? Wouldn't have to be XIV characters but I know the gearsets so well it'd be an easy way to get references...
