I haven't been drawing much lately due to *gestures vaguely*

But I have been doing some quick and dirty NPC portraits for our DnD game! Here's Roger's mom, Tahmina.

Happy Halloween with a throwback from young Y'shtola! She's causing all sorts of trouble for Master Matoya again :)

#FFXIV #FFXIVART #Yshtola
A young Y'shtola Rhul stirs a cauldron that is leaking green vapors. The fire underneath the large cauldron is blue and the inside of it is sparking with green fizz. She is excited at the prospect of creating a new potion. A green frog in a red cap clutches his head across from her-- he is worried about the consequences of attempting such a brew. At the top of the picture a transparent mouse-like familiar floats and empties a bag of mushrooms into the cauldron, assisting Y'shtola.

Melinoë from Hades II my beloved 🫶
I drew this as a style study back in 2023? Still very fond of it!

A picture of Melinoë from Hades 2. She is standing with her two daggers in front of a dark chasm with green fumes emerging from the crater.

Quote w/ your very first art of your oc vs the latest!

think it's HILARIOUS that the first drawing I have of Yshura is a dumbass WolGraha comic

2020 —>2024
A poorly drawn pink haired catgirl looks at the camera and says: "Did you bring protection?" A pink haired catgirl stands leaning against a wooden railing. Her hand is tipping her hat, vaguely resembling a brown cowboy hat, forward to block the sun. She is smiling and winking at the camera, seemingly delighted at the weather and clear blue skies. She is wearing a white shirt with her cleavage exposed, and a brown underbust corset. Her left hand is wearing a gleaming golden gauntlet.

OH NO

@wolgrahaweek.bsky.social
First panel: A person lies in bed, sleeping. Their background has several pictures of G'raha Tia from Final Fantasy 14. Their phone on the ground gives a notification noise. Second panel: The person wakes up, startled. "I missed WolGraha week??" they exclaim.

Rapunzenos! Let down your hair!

#ffxiv #zenos #FF14
An illustration depicting Zenos and the Warrior of Light from FFXIV. Both are in chibi form: Zenos is letting his hair down from a tower in ruined Garlemald, like Rapunzel let her hair down for her prince. The Warrior of Light stares at Zenos with a frown on his face, obviously unhappy with the situation.

Older inktober doodle!! I made this one because I was excited for bunboys and reapers coming out in Endwalker

#ffxiv #viera #reaper
A black and white drawing of a male viera from FFXIV wearing a reaper outfit. He is holding a scythe out in his left hand while a voidsent from behind him reaching out a hand, as if trying to grab the viewer.

Congratulations!!! I'm a big fan of your work and your presentation is always gorgeous.

If I *did* win I would probably request an themed cocktail of the DnD characters I ship together (one of them is a bartender so it's extra funny!!!) 😆

It's #portfolioday again!

I’m Decaf, and I love character design and illustration. I’m looking to connect with other artists in TTRPG spaces, although I've also done a lot of FFXIV art as well! I have a special place in my heart for drawing beautiful drow women 💜
On the right: This tarot card shows a man and a woman at a bar, sharing a loving gaze towards each other. The woman is a half-drow, with purple skin and long, wavy white hair. She is sitting on top of the bar counter wearing white, Edwardian style undergarments: a ruffly chemise, a corset, and drawers. Her hand sits on the man's shoulder. The man has dark skin and black hair, and holds her waist and thigh as his head rests near her breast. He is dressed in a bartender's outfit with a stiff collar, wide black tie and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Behind them, the bar is made from wood and a myriad of glass bottles filled with alcohol line the shelves. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 06: The Lovers. On the left: This tarot card shows a drow woman standing in the night, bright moonlight shining down on her. She is in the process of taking off, or putting on her hood. Her short, wavy white hair is lit by the moonlight, as well as the her nose, with the rest of her face covered in shadow. Her silver eyes seem to glow in the darkness, and her dark purple lips are set in a menacing smile. She is dressed in leather armor and a midnight blue gambeson, studded with silver like stars on the night sky. She has three belts on, two holding up a bag around her hips. Her hands are decked with silver, magical rings. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 11: Justice. On the right: This tarot card shows a half-drow woman lying on the floor of a bookstore, dead. This is Sylvia Va'lens, an archmage, a proprietress of multiple business and an alumni of the Octoscholarum, who dedicated herself to research and philanthropy. She is shown bleeding from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. A quill lies near her left hand-- she seems to have been writing something before she was killed. Sylvia is dressed in classical mage garb for the city of Ryven: A crisp white shirt with a detachable black collar, a dark purple coat with slit, open sleeves and a vibrant magenta inner lining. Her long, wavy white hair is in disarray and her face is in a blank expression. The pink light outside the window indicates that the scene takes place early in the morning. A cloaked figure stands in front of the windows-- it is unknown whether this person is the assailant or a passerby who discovered the body after the murder. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 16: The Tower. On the left: A woman floats above the dark sea at night. The sky is filled with stars behind her and she is surrounded by fluffy clouds. Her hands are spread out, as if she was basking in the moonlight. She has purple skin bathed in moonlight and her hair is white under the starlight. The woman is nude, except for the dark hood on her head which seems to transform into a shawl and cascade down over her elbows on either side of her. The cloth seems to acquire a cosmic quality towards the bottom, where the cloth turns pink and tiny stars appear. The woman has a halo of eight stars around her head, each star representing one of the eight schools of magic. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 02: The High Priestess.

An older work of tiny little Lyna braiding the Exarch's hair. I'm still very fond of this one.

#crystalexarch #grahatia #lyna #ffxiv #graha
The Crystal Exarch sits cross-legged on the left hand side of the picture, reading a book. His hair is very long, and is tied in a braid. On the right hand of the picture, a much younger Lyna (aged around 8) has finished braiding his hair and is trying a red ribbon on the end to secure it.

I got a *lovely* sketch commission from @atelierapricity.bsky.social! This is Two and Roger from my DnD campaign :)))

#ryven #dndoc
A young elven woman dressed in a cloak rests a rapier against a man's neck. He is dressed in formal attire and has his arms raised in surrender. Despite the apparent threat, they look like they are about to kiss.
