made myself some emotes! maybe this time they'll stick! i've done a few sets in the past in slightly different styles but only ended up liking one or two in each set. i'll probably keep using those individual ones, but it'd be nice to have a unified set yknow?

Shoving myself in the #tdov tag 'cuz I'd like to have more friends who are like meee; you miss all the shots you don't take something-something..... I like to write comics/visual novels and make art involving my own characters! I enjoy other people who are passionate about their own OCs too!!

feels weird posting for trans day of visibility even though I’d never tell any OTHER nonbinary person they weren’t trans enough… but hi, I’m a nonbinary illustrator and a huge nerd #art #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV

Digital painting of Hornet from Silksong. She stands facing away from the camera in a green, mossy landscape that dwarfs her, looking upwards to where there is light far above. Plants and vines in the foreground frame the image.

Digital painting of Simon the convict from Iron Lung, framed by anglerfish teeth. He looks sad, or perhaps tired. There are many pressure gages in the background. Some of them are leaking blood. A couple of them are eyes. Everything is red.

Digital illustration of Huntrix from KPop Demon Hunters doing cool poses. Zoey is on the left, Rumi is in the centre foreground, and Mira is on the right. They are wearing their outfits from the concert at the beginning of the film.

Digitally painted portrait of a Clicker from The Last of Us. The top half of their face has erupted into white and orange fungus. Their skin is mottled blue, purple, and yellow, and their lank, chin-length hair is dark blue. Their left nostril and part of their upper lip has rotted away, leaving visible gore, as have a large patch of skin on their right shoulder and smaller patches on their face and neck. More fungus, purple in colour, grows on the left side of their neck. Their head is cocked slightly to their left side. There is a caption which reads, “I’m listening,” in all caps. The background is a warm grey.

💚 mushy sappy cuddles 💜 xephre responds better to quiet, thoughtful affection than puppy excitement.

three digital sketches of two ffxiv characters cuddling. xephre, a viera, is drawn in green; khutu, an au ra, is drawn in purple. in the top left, he's hugging xephre tightly, surrounded by hearts, while they try to wriggle out with an annoyed expression. on the top right, they're leaning with their back and head in his lap, looking up at him with a smile, and he's looking back at them with his hand in their hair. on the bottom, they're lying on his chest with their arms wrapped around him, their eyes closed with a slightly troubled expression; he has one hand on their back and the other on their head and smiles softly as though comforting them.

▪️ ◾ ⬛ Vessel ⬛ ◾ ▪️ A short #comic about my #ffxiv Warrior of Light, Xephre, and their voidsent pact. Pages 1-4 of 12

Comic page (1 of 12)

A full page with a hazy blue background and lighter blue particles swirling downward. A Viera with dark teal hair and light green tips floats in the space, their eyes closed, droplets of blood floating above them. They're wearing a blue tunic, a green hooded capelet, cropped navy trousers, leather boots, and archery gloves and an arm guard. Tally marks are tattooed a little less than halfway up their left shin.

At the bottom right of the page, text reads: "Not again..."

Comic page (3 of 12)

Three panels against a once again darker blue background, with more floating blood as well as tally marks that fade from white to red. There's exactly 83 marks, if you cared to count.

Panel 1: A figure in gold and red armour, wearing a horned helmet with a gas-mask-like front, stabs Xephre through the chest with a long blade. Text outside the panel reads: "How many times have I died at Gaius's hand?"

Panel 2: a close-up of Gaius's face, or rather his mask. Text outside the panel reads: "How many times have I fallen before I could even reach him?"

Panel 3: Xephre floating through the void again, more of their body dissipating now. Text in the panel reads: "How many more times will I be rervived just to fail all over again?"

Comic page (4 of 12)

Against an even darker blue background, three vertical panels descend in size, opacity, and position from left to right. In each one Xephre is further and further away, dissolving into nothing. Text outside the panels, getting smaller and darker throughout, reads: "Hydaelyn... Twelve... Anyone..."

▪️ ◾ ⬛ Vessel ⬛ ◾ ▪️ A short #comic about my #ffxiv Warrior of Light, Xephre, and their voidsent pact. Pages 5-8 of 12

Comic page (5 of 12)

Most of the page is comprised of a plain dark, scratchy background. In the top half it’s dark blue, but fades into a muted red. Near the bottom, a horizontal panel is filled with a dark red, with two wide, bright green eyes staring directly at the reader. Outside the panel, there’s a floating red feather and text in a scratchy bright red font. Each snippet of text has what I guess I’d call imprints or echoes behind it? It reads: “The gods aren’t listening, are they, little morsel?”

Comic page (6 of 12)

Two panels on a scratchy, dark red background. The panels themselves are a muted blue with scribbly crosshatching. Xephre floats in these panels, looking around themself, lit with bright red lighting. Around the panels various features are visible: several floating feathers, bird-like claws, a sleek wing, a long whippy tail, and a large demonic snout full of jagged teeth. There’s also a repeated, echoing voice going “kill kill kill” all over the page.

The red text in and around the panels reads: “Oh, this one will be fun. The way it squirms and suffers as it descends toward death… Yes, you’ve found a good morsel, sister.” Xephre’s dialogue is in a tidier white font. They respond, “Who are you? What are you?”

Comic page (7 of 12)

An open feathered wing sweeps across the page, dividing it in two. In the top third, a chorus of cawing rises as Xephre looks behind them. In the bottom two thirds, three demonic creatures circle Xephre against a red background. At the top is a black bird with sleek feathers, a tapered beak, and a pointed crest. On the left is a red dragon-like demon with tattered leather wings and a snout full of jagged teeth. On the right is a dark purple crow-like bird with a hooked beak. All three have talons for feet and long, whippy tails ending in points. As they circle Xephre, they caw dissonantly together: “The answer to your prayers.”

Comic page (8 of 12)

Panel 1: the purple bird perches on Xephre’s back and shoulder, leaning in, as they look back at her.

Panel 2: a shot of Xephre from the chest down as the red bird clings to their hip.

Panel 3: the black bird perches on both Xephre’s shoulders, looking down at them.

Throughout the page, the red text reads: “We are voidsents, sisters three. With our power you will fell your enemies like moulting feathers. With your power, we will find our prey abundant and fresh. You desire a chance to rise again. But such chances are not lightly given.”

Panel 4: Xephre looks determined, asking, “What must I give?”

▪️ ◾ ⬛ Vessel ⬛ ◾ ▪️ A short #comic about my #ffxiv Warrior of Light, Xephre, and their voidsent pact. Pages 9-12 of 12

Comic page (9 of 12)

The three birds loom around Xephre, suddenly enormous. Two of their tails curl menacingly underneath. Xephre stares up at them, their back to the reader. The birds say: “Naught more or less than your aether and soul. And when your duties are fulfilled, your soul, too, will be ours.”

Comic page (10 of 12)

Panel 1: Xephre looks up, saying, “I won’t return to the aetherial sea.”

Panel 2: Close on Xephre’s face as they close their eyes. The birds say, “Nay, morsel. Is that a price you are willing to pay for your precious chance?”

Panel 3: Xephre opens their eyes with a determined look. They reply, “Yes.”

Panel 4: The three birds all smile in the darkness.

Comic page (11 of 12)

Panel 1: The three birds dive toward Xephre. The purple one is merging head-first into Xephre’s chest. Streams of purple and red pour from that point. Text reads: “Waning, she of suffering and torment.” The word Waning is in purple.

Panel 2: Xephre is silhouetted with red and purple wisps circling around them. They’ve sprouted ragged wings from and a long whippy tail and their feet have become clawed talons. Text reads: “Demise, she of snipped ends and fleeting moments.” The word Demise is in red.

Panel 3: Xephre brings clawed hands up to their head, around which wrap two smaller feathered wings, obscuring their eyes. Their teeth are gritted and they’re wearing a ragged black and green cloak that’s torn at the chest, revealing a diamond-shaped gem embedded in their skin. Text reads: "Remains, she of all that is left behind." The word Remains is in blue.

Comic page (12 of 12)

Panel 1: Xephre stands upright, their face off-screen. They hold their hand out, with a scythe hovering over it. They spread out one of their wings.

Panel 2: A full view of Xephre, lit from behind in bright red. They have three pairs of wings - one feathered pair over their eyes, one tattered leather pair on their upper back, and one sleek feathered pair on their lower back. Their hands are clawed and their feet are talons. They’re wearing a tattered black and green cloak. Their tail has long spikes on the spine as well as on the end. They’re holding a scythe whose blade looks like a long feather; on the end that connects to the handle there’s what appears to be the top of a creature’s skull with a jagged crest and teeth.

Text on the page says: “We are the Keres. Henceforth you shall be our vessel, and we shall be your strength.”

xeph has inherited the title of Fashion Blorbo. i mean, this wasn't exactly new... the endgame of #ffxiv is glamour after all, but they're the oc i reach for now when i want to draw outfits.

digital art. two sketches of xephre, a viera (person with bunny ears from final fantasy 14). on the left they're wearing light blue overall shorts over a loose black shirt with a wide collar and cropped sleeves, as well as black converse. their right leg is covered in tally mark tattoos. on the right they're in full length overalls in a tealish off-blue, slightly chunkier lime green shoes, and a lime bandeau. the background is made up of an angled grid of squares, some of which are filled in.
