Artists' Thread: Show your creations!

[ShadowMeowth]

I am surprised there is no thread for art and artists, but if that is the case, I am come to make it happen. And if it should not be included here, I apologize profusely.

So, well. I merely wanted to create a space to share our art of FFXIV. Drawings, short-writings, your characters' backstory / ongoing story, plushies, whatever you fancy. In short, let your inner Amaurotine take over and show what you can create. You do not have to be an "artist", everything we make is because we love the game and the lore and its characters, so art in whatever form would be welcome. Please do not shy away from sharing it because you think it is not good enough. Everything we take our time and dedication to create is worth showing and sharing. :)

Of course, if your work is spoiler-ish in some way, or if it is a long read for those whose art expression is written, pray use the spoiler boxes!

I shall start sharing something myself. Yesterday I decided to settle down a bit and pay a visit to good ol' pencil and paper, and sketched a thing that I wanted to draw since 5.0 but 5.3 reaffirmed my intention.

My Ancient!WoL (Nike Lotice), Hades and Hythlodaeus, the original power friend trio. Since we do not have any hint to how Hyth looked like, I took licenses.

Now it is your turn to share. Of course, there is room for constructive critique as well. Even if you are not an artist, pray share with us your comments. It is from what we feed, after all. :)

What a great thread and cute trio you got there! I can't wait to see more fantastic artists show up and flaunt their stuff in here!

These are my first FFXIV related sketches featuring some of my favourite babies, but been lazy busy to finish them...

Those look great! Then again, anything with Emet will have my immediate approval, but I love how you drew Tataru and Y'shtola. Your style is quite expressive, and I adore lineart like that. :)

Here I will share a portrait of my WoL/D, X'wyhn Lehn. It should be updated, since now she uses the 2B headband instead of the one we got in Stormblood, but otherwise she remains the same.

I haven't put out much art this year at all, lol, but this was something I drew for an FC mate recently of their bun bun!

Wow, that is quite impressive. I wish I could draw something like that. Why, I am tempted to ask if you do commissions. :D

I will show a sketch I have had for a long time, that I never got the time to color it... but I like the lineart so whatever. Best boy Alphinaud. :D

There is already an artwork thread, it's quite buried though since threads in General go by so quickly and it doesn't get posted in as frequently as, say, the screenshots/DF therads: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...racter/page147

Oh, my fault then. Though I intended to make this one broader in content instead of only drawings, but if it should be closed, then it was wrong of me to open it in the first place.

In any case, today I drew a comic (not an usual thing, comics take a lot of time and self-esteem) because of 5.3 shenanigans.

Duty calls! /Duty Finder noises in Amaurotine
Because to deal to whatever threat they found around the star, Azem most likely summoned Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus to assist them, and... well, basically, surprise summons! Not unlike Duty Finder, to be honest. Actually, Azem the Wanderer? More like Azem the Duty Finder. :D
