An illustration depicting the Warrior of Light, the hero of Final Fantasy XIV, against a backdrop of prominent locations from each of the games expansions. The Warriors features are vague - they are clad in a dark cloak, riding a chocobo across a grassy hill. Beyond the hill rise the spires of the city of Ishgard, the walls of Ala Mhigo, the city of Kugane, the plains of the Azim Steppe, the lofty Crystal Tower, and the spiralling architecture of Amaurot. The moon looms large in the sky, and the scene is bordered with a golden frame detailed with friends and foes (mostly foes) from the Warriors journey. An illustration of Estinien from Final Fantasy XIV. He's an Elezen (elf-like person) clad in black spiked dragoon armour, with his long white hair whipping around his face as he grips his spear, plunging it into the open maw of a dragon. An illustration of the main cast of companions from Baldur's Gate 3 - Lae'zel, Karlach, Wyll, Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, and the dog Scratch - in battle-ready poses with their weapons drawn. A mass of writhing purple tentacles looms ominously above them. An illustration of a scene in the woods at night, of masked, goat-legged figures dancing in a circle around a man emerging from a bonfire in the centre. A gold frame surrounds the scene, and outside of that are vignettes of masked, bearded faces smiling, a dagger cutting hair, an upended chalice pouring white gel on to a bare shoulder, and tree branches covering a persons chest in the shape of common top surgery scars.

Three different illustrated Final Fantasy XIV prints sitting on a wooden table. The largest one show a cloaked figure riding a chocobo across a grassy field, with various locations from the game in the background. To the right of it is a print showing Estinien wielding his lance in combat against a dragon, and above that is a print of Emet-Selch holding Azem's crystal. A collection of illustrated chibi-style stickers of various Final Fantasy XIV characters sitting on a wooden table. The characters shown include G'raha, Estinien, Emet-Selch, Zenos, Thancred, Y'shtola, Urianger, Wuk Lamat, Erenville, Alphinaud, and Alisaie. Two notepads sitting on a wooden table, with some pens and pencils around them. The larger one is a daily planner, themed after the FFXIV quest log, with sections for "Main Quests", "Side Quests", and so on, and the smaller one is a memo pad with a field full of chocobos decorating the bottom edge. A closeup photo of an illustrated sticker sheet featuring a bunch of moogles up to various shenanigans, including skateboarding, lying on the ground drinking, and showing their lil moog cheeks.

An illustration of Istvan Toth and Erik from Kingdom Come Deliverance. Istvan, the shorter of the two, is a pale man wearing a chaperon and dark quilted clothing with gold detailing—he is reaching up to cup Erik's face in his hand.

it was so lovely to be interviewed by Eruanna about my FFXIV fanworks!! I very much enjoyed getting to wax absolutely poetic about how I approach making fanart and how my love of folklore bleeds into my work, thank you for having me 🫡
