Hell yeah, Chapter 3 of Hidden in the Sound is up! This is where things start getting a bit spooky, folks, so please give it a read!

I'm very proud of this piece, even if the birds are way too big. XD

Mixed media on watercolour paper #FFXV #FF15 #noctis #Κίρκη
A mixed-media painting of a sunset-lit cliffside meadow. Within a Stonehenge-like circle of megalithic pillars, Noctis lies prone upon a stone slab, his shirt rucked up to reveal the extensive scarring from his childhood injuries. Leaning over him, Kierka, a redheaded Stevie Nicks-type, gently lays her hands upon his back as if to soothe away his chronic back pain. Atop the stones overlooking the scene, several songbirds alight.

WIPs! The background was a challenge; I looked at so many Charles Vess illustrations for reference for those dang tree roots!

HOLY MOLY! The first 2 chapters of 'Hidden in the Sound,' the more-than-a-little Homeric sidestory FFXV fic that @forgetthelyrics.bsky.social and I have been concocting for ages, is finally up on AO3! --> archiveofourown.org/works/700815...

Mixed media on hot press watercolour paper
A open sunlit field under a blue sky, a wooded cliff close by. Ignis Scientia, Gladiolus Amicitia, Prompto Argentum, and Noctis Lucis Caelum stand closely together in a defensive position out in the open, each looking outward at a number of potential threats approaching them: a docile-looking garula, a pair of crouching coeurls, a voretooth, and several daggerquills. Standing upon the cliff, gazing down at the bros, is a young woman with wild red hair. She wears a long skirt, cardigan, and shawl, and holds a long dowsing rod-like tree branch in her left hand. The green-yellow sunlight lights her from behind, giving her a mystical, ominous aura.

@forgetthelyrics.bsky.social and I collaborated on a very fun little FFXV horror fic (archiveofourown.org/works/38089642) a few years ago, and I'm still super surprised at how well my contributions turned out! #FFXV #FF15
An older Prompto Argentum, cowering behind the door inside a small storeroom at the back of the diner at Hammerhead, as the long, sharp tip of what appears to be a lance pierces through the door above his head. He is understandably freaked the fuck out. The front door to the diner at Hammerhead, seen from inside the establishment. Various weaponry, cables, and crates litter the interior of the eatery, while outside, a black miasma swirls about, obscuring everything... except the silhouette of a person that may or may not be a young Noctis Lucis Caelum. The figure is waving with its right hand, light glinting off one of its eyes. A thin trickle of blood is seeping into the diner from beneath the door.

Noctis, Prompto, Ignis, and Gladio from FFXV helping each other raise a tall scepter. Myriad colourful ribbon-like banners trail from it, flowing behind the lads like the tendrils of a large jellyfish. At the top of the scepter is a jewel encircled by a halo of gold, sunlike and shining.

#FFXV #FF15 #noctis #ignisscientia
A mostly-monochrome painting depicting a very young Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV, bedridden and being tightly and protectively held by a young and frightened Ignis Scientia. Noct is unconscious, hooked up to a bedside IV, and holding a painted Carbuncle figurine in one hand. Ignis is staring up and over Noct's head at the ethereal apparition of Queen Aulea, Noct's deceased mother, who gently ruffles Ignis's hair and looks down upon her son with a sad, kindly gaze.

Ardyn Izunia from Final Fantasy XV, seated in a indigo-blue-black space, with a glowing window laid on the "floor" before him. Through the window, a bright, golden landscape featuring a large tree is visible. Floating in the air above Ardyn's head is a sigil - the Goetic symbol for Satan, to be precise.

A colourful painting of Alicia Dessendre from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In her hands, she holds an opened letter that has suddenly burst into stylised flame. The fire covers most of her face, save for one of her eyes, which stares out at the viewer in fear and shock.

CW: blood and injury

After a long delay due to injury (Don't slouch, kids!), my illustration for Chapter 31 of @crazyloststar.bsky.social
and @chasingfigments.bsky.social's epic FFXV fic, Civil Hands, is finally finished! Thanks for waiting, guys!😅

An illustration divided into thirds, each depicting a different aspect of the same scene. 1) Prompto Argentum's shocked face, seen from the side, facing upwards. There are blood spatters on his chin and neck. 2) Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, dressed in an ethereal blue-and-white open-backed party dress, seen from the back. She is kneeling over Prompto's body, conjuring a white orb meant to heal him. White lightning-like energy crackles forth from the orb. There is blood soaking his shirt and pant legs. 3) The legs and feets of Ravus Nox Fleuret and Cor Leonis, who are mid-skirmish with an unseen enemy. Blood drips off of the tip of Ravus's swining blade and onto the floor, his boot smearing a droplet as her runs.

My HC is that the Writers sent a literal letter bomb to the Dessendres. Alicia couldn't help but take a peek. ✉️🔥

WIP; I'll work on correcting the line art and colouring it once my neck feels better

Two playthroughs of Clair Obscur finished, and it's only now that I've started drawing parallels between its story/visuals and Utena's, and LORD ALMIGHTY, are there a lot of 'em

I didn't realise that these things were what the comic was referring to! They're kinda neat!

Also, Amaurot reminded me of Valhalla from FFXIII-2 when I first saw it

Fic writers, don't ever feel bad about putting song lyrics in your stories, whether in the text or as epigraphs or titles or anything! Popular authors have been doing that for ages, so go ahead and quote that shit!

- Fights you 3 times, each time more ridiculous than the last
- Collects SO MANY swords
- Is a really big dude and an even bigger ham
- Considers you their best friend by the end, just before you fight Evil God

I had it all wrong — Zenos isn't a take on Sephiroth, but rather, THIS friggin' guy:

Rewatching/playing Immortality, and my stupid FFXIV-rotted brain keeps yelling how Ascian-coded the whole thing is. It's basically a cinephile!Elidibus AU
A shot of an injured man lying on an earthen floor. Across the room and behind him, a woman in a green robe and wearing a crown of spikes and roses is saying, "God isn't listening." A young woman's face, illuminated from beneath by red candlelight. She is wearing a dark cowl. The same young woman, this time wearing a white monk's cowl in daylight and grinning lopsidedly and rather sinisterly.

I didn't know that komadori were robins! I lived in a city in Hokkaido, so I never saw them. Maybe I should have gone hiking more often?

By the way, the robin at my train station appeared today
