I am stepping away from XIV socmed indefinitely. I would rather be more present for myself and my family, and the path my life is creating for me. Thank you for listening to my stories.

Interesting lighting, a camera set as a composition concept, then expression, then pose. Tweak the composition, then tweak the lighting after.

Rev is a Paladin, and uses a sword and shield. He, however, is slowed under the burden of a shield, and prefers sword and gauntlet in a fight. He throws a nasty left hook. The shield is to protect others, not him.

Rev isn't religious, but a handful of years in Ul'dah has stirred a reverence for the city he calls home.

Nah, Rev can stay as he is. I am rather fond of him. Though, if they allowed me to reduce the size of his horns, I would. Oh, wait. I might see if I can make his skin darker, like I have always wanted. That relies on if I can sync skin and tattoos to match the way they do now, though.

A bit fuzzy, but you can see where Rev broke his horn. It's at the fore, just before your eyes meet the bottom prong. Someone snapped the front off with a boot and their weight in an altercation when he was 19.

I think Rev's cultural tattoos are what make him recognizable. I spent forever adjusting skin tones with tattoo shades to match them up like this.

A close up of Rev's face. The faded cheek tattoos he has had since adolescence curve from cheekbone to jawline.

Nah, Rev's inflection sounds Ala Mhigan/Thanalan, with a hint of an accent hard to pinpoint for most. He was originally born and raised in Thavnair. His Thavnairian accent recedes more, in time, due to his time in Ul'dah. When he is worn or tired, however, the accent can reemerge.

A bust-up gpose of Dominus laughing maniacally and staring down at the camera; his lower face, chin, chest and hands covered in fresh blood. It is implied he is mid-feasting on his non-descript prey. His wings frame the background and a stylized golden halo circles his head like a blasphemous saint.

Often, apprentices, employees, family... anyone under Rev's protection, wear this crest upon their clothes as they wander Ul'dah. It warns danger away more than it tempts, as Rev is powerful, physically and politically, and his sense of justice is the closest to fury the man will ever reach.

A crest of the Rhanithil family. A strip of cloth, striped blue and grey, bears wrought silver wings. They strongly resemble the crown of wings worn by the Paladin hero of Light, Nahreva Rhanithil.

No Pinterest board, but I got these style sheets for Naji and Altan.

Naji style sheet. It shows a picture of him and his clothing preferences through various locations on Etheirys.

Altan's style sheet 1. No picture of him, but a handful of references of his casual punk/biker/working man hybrid aesthetic. Mostly flannel, leather, jeans, and working boots.

Altan's style sheet 2. Focuses more on old band tshirts and layered clothes. He tends to wear expensive casual clothes, but wears them until they practically fall off.

Estinien and Evangeline stand across from one another ins a dreamy void, their childhood selves between them among wildflowers. Young Evie stands in the center, hand outstretched to Estinien to urge him to join her. She holds Estinien's brother's hand already. Text on the image says "You haven't changed at all. You're still so sweet."

You're totally fine if you answer that QotD weeks, months, even a year later. You can reply to a gpose prompt that may be themed to a day on whatever day you want because you just saw it and/or barely got the time to do so. Being inspired or letting something inspire you doesn't have a time limit.

I had to adjust the Au Ra limbal rings canon, because it simply being cosmetic feels like a copout to me.

I say this often, but the real MVPs are the people who may not be posing themselves but who are encouraging others, leaving comments, and cheering them on. You might not even realize it, but you are a huge part of what motivates others to keep going and enjoy what they do. Thank you for that!

Man, music is so wild. What do you mean some of my favorite songs are a few minutes of rather monotone or "uninteresting" rhythm, and I wait every second, with bated breath, for the one moment when it rises and changes and sends my mind soaring?

Text that reads "SUMMER OF BLOOD" in white and red text, stylised to look like it's affected by the ocean's ripples is overlayed at the bottom of the image.
