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.

An illustration of Isabela from Dragon Age, in the style of the tarot cards in the series. Isabela, a woman with brown skin and long, thick, greying dark brown hair, clad in pirate clothing, stands on the prow of a ship, holding on to some ropes and shielding her eyes from the sun as she gazes forwards.

#dragonage ✧ #art
An illustration of Fenris from Dragon Age, in the style of the tarot cards in the series. Fenris, an elven man with brown skin and bright white hair, holds a sword aloft, about to plunge it down into a heart held in his other hand. The sword drips with blood, and broken chains lie on either side of it. Ghostly hands with similarly broken chains on their wrists reach towards the heart.

reposting from tumblr but let 2026 be the year I never have to see another makeship plushie or enamel pin kickstarter from an artist I used to admire again. hold artists to higher standards & do not exploit underpaid factory workers in the global south. just because you can doesn't mean you should!

#FFXIV #XIVmerch #XIVArt
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.
