fanfic inspo my forever muse. a scene from a very good fic i read (have been obsessed for the past 24hrs)

#vsmp #vampiressmp #art
Two-parter colored art of VSMP Martyn and Apo, based on a scene from the fic 'i was human' by jibbingjibberish. The two are both vampires, Martyn having risen from the dead many years later, reunited for the first time. At the top, both are locked in a kiss, eyes closed. At the bottom, they are slightly parted but still close. Martyn is looking to the side, and Apo has her lips slightly parted. The following dialogue follows: "I'm–is it bad that, like… when your cracks show. I kinda–I kinda like that," "My cracks?" "Yeah." "Well, at least someone can enjoy them."

#vsmp #vampiressmp #art
a sketchpage of VSMP martyn and apo in various hug scenarios on the left: very rough sketch of martyn hugging apo, both as vampires. martyn is saying "forgive me, my sire..." and apo is fed up, saying "oh my GOD". there is an arrow pointing to martyn saying, "got on her nerves" in the middle: martyn hugging apo from behind. apo is in her stage 2 skin, looking a bit surprised and having her hands on martyn's arms around her. on the right: inspired by an afterlife hc, apo is about to hug martyn, while he also is reaching out to her, saying "Took you long enough!"

what really was

#vsmp #vampiressmp #art
A fullbody artwork of VSMP Martyn and Apo, depicting a scene after his death. Martyn is lifeless, his head hanging low to the side, his arm, still bleeding, dragging across the floor. Apo is lifting up his body, kneeling. One hand is clutching at his shoulder, the other interlaced with his fingers. Her expression is somber.

If Apo had had a little more information and people LISTENED TO HER!!!! Then all would've been alright :')

#vsmp #vampiressmp #art
VSMP comic focusing on fixing Martyn's death. 1/4 - Martyn is handing over his wrist to Legs (Legundo), Apo looking at the scene. - A flashback occurs to Apo in bat form, overhearing part of Legs and Cleo's conversation earlier in the episode, "[...] having vampire blood in their system made them [...] [...] they tried to escape the thrall by getting turned by someone else. It never worked. They all died. - Back to the present, Apo interjects, shouting "Wait!" - A pan to Apo approaching Legs & Martyn, them looking to her direction, saying "Doc... Don’t do it." Legs responds, "Apo, what do you mean?", to which Apo further says "I- I don't think it'll work the way you expect." 2/4 - A close up to Martyn, looking skeptical, saying "What's the big deal? Don’t you think you should let ol' Doc here be the sacrifice as he wants to be? The plan seems foolp-" - He gets interrupted by Apo, close up of her looking annoyed and saying "It's not about that!" - She grabs Martyn by the collar, absolutely irritated, continuing "Ugh-- listen! Can you PLEASE just trust me for once and stop asking questions!" so which Martyn tries to interject saying "Then explain why--" - Apo interrupts once more. There are three flashback shots. One of Martyn and Apo in a boat, "This whole time, I've been trying to help for the sake of the town," another of them with the Militia banner, "for the Militia..." and finally, one of Apo saving Martyn after his bridge fall, "and for YOU. You're alive because of MY blood." and then in a quieter tone "The vampire blood..." 3/4 - Apo has let go of Martyn's collar, but her hands are still near it. She continues, "So don't... fight me, and listen... for once in your damned life." she then turns back to the issue at hand, sighing "Doc. I overheard you and Cleo." - Doc is in the background, Apo in the background once more. He asks "About the thralls?" Apo confirms, "Yes. And I don't-- I don't know if it's the same as for them, but Martyn already has some vampire blood in him." further clarifying, "Mine. So.." - A close up of Martyn looking conflicted and deep in thought, not saying anything. The conversation between Apo and Legs continues, the Doc saying "I see. But then... He cannot be cured." and Apo responding "I know.. but, I have a bad feeling about this. He might die." - A waist up shot of Apo, holding out her hand. "I'll take Martyn. Doc, you can turn Ren after." - A waist up shot of Martyn, also raising a hand, looking like he's made a decision, trying to be lighthearted: "Sheesh-- I've never been fought over like this." to which Apo says "Your hand, please." and Martyn finally verbally agrees, saying "But yeah, I'd rather leave alive, even if as a vampire." 4/4 - A wide panel of Apo and Martyn's hands. Hers is under his, in the motion of taking it to drink blood from and turn him. - A shot of Apo drinking blood from Martyn's wrist, her hand on his arm. Martyn is looking away from Apo, shielding himself from the sight. - A closer up shot of Martyn, now having turned his head towards his arm and where Apo is drinking blood. He's slightly wincing. - A shot of Apo, having turned Martyn, her hand near her mouth, wiping away the blood. She mutters to herself "Ugh... I still don't like drinking human blood." but also says "There. Do you feel fine?" - A shot of Martyn, now turned. He responds, "Well, now you have to kill me, as I asked..." looking very smug. Their conversation continues, with Apo being distraught at the answer, saying "What?! Sh-shut up. Absolutely not." to which Martyn, still being smug, responds "I'm just messing with you. I'm fine."

my beloved disasters

#art #vsmp #vampiressmp
Sketchy art of Martyn & Apo in Vampires SMP. Vaguely between ep5/ep6, after Apo's reveal as a vampire goes awfully wrong. The two are sitting down. Martyn is more loose in terms of his pose, slightly looking towards Apo next to him, saying "Ren said it all better than I ever could, but still... I'm sorry Apo, I messed up." Apo has her knees to her chest, arms around her legs, looking down, eyes half lidded. She doesn't have a response.

probably not the best time to ask self-explanatory questions

#art #ffxiv
Follow up to my warrior of light, Shine Aurex, post-The Vault now in the Fortemps manor, getting her new fit on (summoner horn + alpine coat) Panels from top to bottom: 1: Shine putting on her coat 2: Artoirel de Fortemps coming up to her, saying "Mistress Aurex, you seem fresher than usual..." with Shine looking a bit annoyed at the statement 3: Shine in the back, still looking unimpressed, Artoirel in the foreground, with him continuing by asking "What gives such a transformation?" 4: The panel now shows the front door of the manor in the background, Shine and Artoirel facing each other in front of it. Shine says, "Nothing quite monumental, I assure you, Ser Artoriel. I've simply had enough." After which he echoes "Enough..?" 1: Shine clenching a fist, looking down slightly, saying "Exactly that... One too many sacrifices in my name.." 2. Shine has moved closer to the door, but looks back to Artoirel, hand raised, asking him "What of you then, ser?" 3: Artoirel begins to answer the question, but is cut off by Shine reaching for the front door and saying "Actually, nevermind, it's of no consequence to me." 4: Still looking serious, but less annoyed, Shine is at the front door opening it up but looking back at the manor's interior, saying "See you around"

post-vault 1/2

see most wols get depression AFTER the vault but for Shine it cancelled out her previous post-arr depression instead :D

#art #ffxiv
A set of 4 comic panels of my Warrior of Light, Shine Aurex, post the events of The Vault. At the top, spanning across: Shine, still with her hair grown out but hat set aside, is sitting at the desk in the Forgotten Knight room, contemplating. There is text "A smile better suits a hero, huh..." underneath. Then there are three panels following side by side as such: Shine, still at the inn room, using her linkpearl, talking to someone, telling them "I'll be away for a while. Could you arrange some things for me in the meantime?" Shine in Gridania, walking towards Y'mhitra, implying that she's returned to further her Summoner skills. Lastly, Shine getting her hair cut, once again, no longer having no care for her apperance.
