The wife and I were doing the Excitatron 6000 during some treasure map hunts, and ended up facing off against Exciting Chocolate Mousse, which literally are just Cubus from Amaurot.

We've now decided that cubus existed to be street food for the Amaurotines lmao.

#ffxivart
Emet-Selch munches on a piece of a cubus from Amaurot, which he has plucked out of its head. The cubus just stands there, unfazed.

Sarantuya's parents were living a nomadic life in Mor Dhona at the time of the Calamity and refused to uproot to flee the Garleans again (or acknowledge Dalamud was falling).

Unsurprisingly they basically did this and proceeded to perish in the Calamity due to Gigaflare proximity.
A screenshot of Mor Dhona from Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, taken when Dalamud was beginning to fall. In the corner is Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog, refusing to get out of his chair.

"Bet," said Azem, cheerfully plotting to make Emet-Selch eat his words 12,000 years from now.

#azemet #emetwol #ffxivart
Panel 1: Ancient era. A female Azem gives a teasing smile up towards a grumpy Emet-Selch, his hands on his hips. Azem: Just one little smooch, Emet-Selch? ♥ Emet-Selch: I'd rather kiss a lizard. Panel 2: Shadowbringers era. Sarantuya, a female Au Ra Warrior of Light, looks up at Emet-Selch inquisitively as he sheepishly recalls the events of the previous panel. Emet-Selch: (softly) ah.

Just a quick lil doodle of Sarantuya and her boys 💜🧡💙

A black-and-white drawing of Emet-Selch (an Amaurotine), Sarantuya (an Au Ra), and Aymeric (an Elezen) cuddled up all together in bed, with Sarantuya in the middle.

Been well over a decade since I last drew some #Spyro fanart, so woe. Crackship be upon ye!

I like to envision their dynamic as the Sorceress thinking Ripto so pathetic as to be adorable, and Ripto being Super Into This, Actually but would rather eat his own cape than admit it.
Fanart of Ripto and the Sorceress from the original Spyro trilogy. The Sorceress is sitting on her throne, holding up Ripto by his cape and looking at him with a mocking smile. Ripto has his arms crossed and is glaring angrily at the Sorceress despite a blush on his cheeks.

Back when I was 13, I used to draw pages and pages of Spyro fanart. Nowadays, I make memes! 😛

#SpyrotheDragon #SpyroReignited
Page 1 of 4. Various screenshots of the characters in the Spyro: Reignited trilogy games have text from a multiple choice poll as their dialogue. The first panel features Ripto with the poll's question as his dialogue. Ripto, pointing angrily: Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Punch Your Face In Spyro, wearing sunglasses and smirking: It would be way too rewarding Gnasty Gnorc, yelling: I'll open my mouth and swallow your whole arm Page 2 of 4 A Dragon Elder, gesturing in an explanatory manner with a kooky smile: My teeth are not yet ready to be harvested Zoe, shrugging in a "what-can-you-do" fashion: My mom specifically instructed me to have a good day Elora, giving a disbelieving glare: If you're punching me, who is flying this plane?! Moneybags, with his classic shit-eating grin: Judge said I'd go to jail if someone punched me in the face one more time Page 3 of 4 The Sorceress, arms wide to show her (lack of) attire: I'm so underdressed Bianca, hands up to her mouth in shame: I'd rather just do it myself Bentley, gesturing broadly with a smile: Wounding me emotionally would pay much higher dividends Sheila, hands on her hips: You'll be late to supper Page 4 of 4 Hunter, pointing with a panicked expression: My face is full of boiling hot water that will shoot out everywhere if you hit me Sgt. Byrd, saluting: The scheduled walloping time isn't for another half hour The Professor, looking up from his clipboard eagerly: Your fist is so pristine Agent 9, grinning like the hyperactive madmonkey he is: When you move to punch me, I'm going to hold a bucket up in front of my face, and then your fist will just punch the inside of an empty bucket and you'll look ridiculous

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?
Emet-Selch, wearing sunglasses, says "That wasn't very cash money of you."

Basically every configuration of Sarantuya's romantic interests is bi4bi or bi4pan. Or pan4bi4bi. 😛

(also I really need to do more with these three together)
A quick doodle of Emet-Selch and Aymeric each holding one of Sarantuya's hands.

Day 7: Elysium

For this moment with you shall always be my paradise.

#azemet #AzemetWeek
Emet-Selch and Azem, in ghostly star-filled visages, hold hands with fingers interlocked as they lean in close for a kiss. They are half-transformed into their true forms.

Day 6: Invocation

Emet-Selch is known as either "The Third Seat" or "a professional mood-killing blue-baller" depending on which member of the Convocation you ask.

#azemet #AzemetWeek
First panel: Azem sits in the middle of her summoning sigil, wearing only the Shadowless Bottoms of Healing and orange ribbons wrapped around her chest and arms, with a few decorative bow ties topping off the ensemble. She looks up at the viewer, who is present in one of the circles on the sigil. Azem: Sorry to interrupt your meeting, Emet-Selch... but it appears I've gotten a bit tied up in a predicament. Might I trouble you to assist me? Second panel: The POV character (Emet-Selch) stands looking down at her with a stern expression on his face and hands on his hips. There is a dark blush just barely visible beneath his mask. Final panel: Emet-Selch turns away, waving his left hand in his customary farewell gesture, while Azem, still tied up on the ground, yells at him in devastation. Emet-Selch: No. Azem: H-HEY, WAIT!! Do you have any idea how long these patterns took to tie by myself?!

The original print in question, from an 1864 publication on Greek & Roman mythology.
Hades sitting on the left with a bident in his hand. Persephone seated to his right, and Cerberus seated below. A print from page 122 of "Mythologie der Griechen und Römer für die reifere und gebildete weibliche Jugend" by Julie Hoffman, 1864.

Day 5: Underworld

Decided to do a redraw of an old Hades & Persephone print for this one (with a bonus Grani standing in for Cerberus).

#azemet #AzemetWeek
Emet-Selch and Azem are seated together on a throne, holding hands as they regard something off-screen. At the foot of the throne, Grani is curled up to sleep.

Day 4: Gilded

"Look, Hades, just because our robes have to be monochrome doesn't mean our true forms have to be, too! Why not put on a smidge of gold leaf and live a little?"

#azemet #AzemetWeek
Emet-Selch, in his true form as Hades, sits at a table with an unimpressed expression. One hand is propped against his cheek, the other is being held by a smaller human-form Azem; she has a bowl of golden paint and is painting the claws on this hand gold.

Day 3: Memory

"Consider them a little gift to remember me by whilst I roam the star. And you needn't worry about me-- the world itself would have to end before I ever forgot your handsome face!"

#azemet #AzemetWeek
Top panel: Azem and Emet-Selch stand side-by-side facing a blue sky with a few white clouds. Azem is cheerfully holding a few forget-me-nots up to Emet-Selch, who has his arms crossed as he regards the flowers dourly. Bottom panel: Emet-Selch, in his Solus zos Galvus guise, stands alone facing a grey, cloudy sky. He holds an identical bunch of forget-me-nots in his hand, regarding the flowers mournfully.

Day 2: Sunrise

Only within the privacy of his (their) dwelling, in an hour of the morning when none but him were awake to witness, would he permit himself such a tender indulgence.

#azemet #azemetweek
A female Azem and Emet-Selch laying in bed together, with sunrise peeking out over the cityscape of Amaurot through the bedroom window. Azem is curled up asleep on Emet-Selch's chest; Emet-Selch is lying awake and gently stroking the top of her head as he waits for her to awaken.

Eyyooo lessgo it's #AzemetWeek!
Day 1: Bonded

The first idea that came to my head was married couples with paired shirts like "If lost, return to [X]"/"I am [X]" 😂

#azemet
A chibi-style illustration of Emet-Selch and a short, red-haired Azem. Emet-Selch looks exasperated while Azem is smiling and making a peace sign in the air; the two are holding hands. Azem has a shirt that says "If lost, return to Emet-Selch" while Emet-Selch has a matching shirt reading "If found, return Azem to sender"

It's the middle of the night and I'm browsing some old art. Anyway have a lewd lich (Joko) hitting on an angry Asura (Fidesa, my Commander).

#GuildWars2
(First panel.) Palawa Joko, a lich necromancer, stands behind Fidesa, an asura mesmer. Joko is posed in a show-offy manner while Fiddy looks annoyed. Joko: It is I, the glorious and inimitable King Palawa Joko, back for my encore! Fidesa: Go back to whatever hole you just crawled out of, Joko! (Second panel.) Joko looms over Fiddy, leering at her. Fidesa bristles, a blush slightly visible through her mask. Joko: Well, if you insist on returning to our prior activities so soon, Commander-- Fidesa: (yelling) You know what I mean, you lascivious lich!!!

"Do you remember when we would stay up at night, counting stars?" 🌠🌠

Haven't played Overwatch in a long time but these two still pull at my heartstrings 😭
#ramyatta
Two humanoid robots wearing monastic robes sit in a mountain field at night. The larger one, Ramattra, sits cross-legged with the smaller one, Zenyatta, sitting in his lap. The two each have a hand on the other for support as Ramattra guides Zenyatta's other hand up towards the stars in the sky.

Incidentally, I'd contemplated the same scenario a few years ago with a much angstier angle. Still pretty proud of how that comic turned out, even if it's not canon!

(also the ship name is #SolarSauna bc steam power robot + sun power monk 😜)

#Dungeons&Dragons #TheLightbringers
Io, a dark-skinned androgynous human, blushes as they look at L'ira, a grey elf girl. She stands before them, smiling. L'ira: Actually... I used to look more like this. Io approaches L'ira, reaching to caress her face. The two are smiling at one another. Io: L'ira... You're even more adorable than I imag-- The text is cut off as Io's hand bumps against an invisible form, stopping them just short of actually making contact with L'ira's face. The final panel reveals the invisible form that Io's hand is pressed against is the breastplate of L'ira's current robot body, who looks down at the slightly disappointed Io. The elf version of L'ira is superimposed within her robot body, looking down sadly. Narration: "Disguise Self", first-level illusion. You make yourself -- including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person -- look different until the spell ends. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection.

L'ira once had a breastplate that let her cast Disguise Self and she used it to show off her original body. But "show off" doesn't mean "actually become" as Io found out while trying to be smooth. 😛

Theran captured the memory for them, of course.

#Dungeons&Dragons #TheLightbringers #SolarSauna
A grey elf girl, L'ira, and a dark-skinned androgynous human, Io, sit at a table together. Io is trying to put their arm around L'ira's shoulder but is stopped by the presently-invisible shape of the elf's current robot body, which is larger than her. Io is giving an enormously awkward and slightly embarrassed smile as L'ira giggles at them. Io holds the previous image as a photo in their hand with an embarrassed, slightly grumpy look. To their right stands L'ira, a tall copper robot-- the current form of the elf girl in the photo-- who is still giggling and gently patting the top of their head. To their left stands Theran, an elf wizard who is smiling as he has just finished materializing the photo into existence. Io: Thanks, Theran... Theran: But of course! L'ira: Tee hee!

Got to play a #Daggerheart oneshot at my table this weekend, which was a blast! It was set in the Horizon universe, which made for some interesting reflavoring of magic.

I played Eija, a shy but curious Faerie/Fungril Winged Sentinel seraph (with hardlight tech wings) delver of Old World ruins.
Two drawings of a bright blue mushroom and faerie hybrid girl, who is wearing a striped poncho and arcane gauntlets. On the left, the mothlike fuzz on the girl's shoulders, limbs, and antennae is dark blue and the mushroom cap on her head is down, covering her eyes. On the right, her fuzz is glowing brightly and her cap is upturned, revealing her bright blue eyes. She also has a pair of glowing wings made of light coming out of her back, which has shifted her poncho to look more like a cape.

Felt a little nostalgic tonight, so I drew some Charon and Rotom. Been a while since these two dorks have graced my canvas!

Clearly I'm just always fated to draw grumpy jerks and the absolute disaster gremlins they refuse to admit they have a soft spot for 😛

#pokemon
Commander Charon of Team Galactic is being effortlessly carried bridal-style by a floating humanized Rotom. Charon looks mildly grumpy and embarrassed, while Rotom is grinning cheerfully.
