Finished comm for @ladymarieposa.bsky.social Lots of fun to make, thank you for commissioning me! #vgencomm

Rosani, a pink-haired hyur in light white fabrics that reveal her shoulders, stands with hands to her chest and looking wistfully to the side with a slight smile. Behind her are out of focus white rose petals floating around, and there is a white rose in her hair.

Did a quick render of the winner of @pintlive.bsky.social's glam contest

A miqo'te lady is standing in a playful pose against a purple-lit flat studio backdrop. She's wearing a green-ish brown jacket with red cloth hanging down its left side like a half-skirt, beige tights with heart-patterns on them, and sturdy boots. She also wears a small hat with large feathers sticking out of it, which catch the light nicely. She's winking and smiling slightly at the camera.

Had to run from my computer to chase down a fox trying to eat my chickens, and came back to my cat having helped with my code

A screenshot from Visual Studio Code, with the line "if 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" highlighted. In case you don't know python, this is not a very good line of code.

Commission for @kivallier.bsky.social! He's here to break some hearts 🌹 Thank you very much again for commissioning me :3

An Elezen man sits confidently on a bar-stool in the middle of a very out-of-focus saloon lit in moody warm tones. He wears neat clothing with a dark-green vest over a white dress shirt with a ruffled collar, and has one gilded boot planted on the floor, with the other raised up to rest on one of the stool's supporting metal rods. In his hand is a large silver revolver, and held between his grinning white teeth is a rose. In the bottom right corner of the image is a watermark; a bunny icon with the text kaj.blue below it

Finished commission for @arieverwastaken.bsky.social of their lovely Hyur! Thank you very much! #xivart #oc

A Hyur in a light-blue dress and a very big hat of the same color stands in a forest clearing. She has a little basket hanging on her arm, full of herbs, and she's holding a larger herb in her hand. She's in the middle of turning around, looking over her shoulder as a bright-blue magical ribbon twirls around her. Smaller and less bright ribbons float off to the sides of the image. She has a joyful and slightly awed expression on her face.

Worked on this off and on for the past month, happy to finally have it done! 🐟 #ffxivart #auraapril

A blue-skinned Au Ra floats upright in tropical cyan water, looking down at the camera with a smile. She's wearing a colorful swimsuit consisting of a mostly red chest-wrap (it doesn't really "wrap" but I don't know what else to call it) and a skirt with blue tassles hanging from the bottom, which are flaring out around her. Bubbles have escaped her mouth and are floating upwards, and some smaller ones are rising from her skin. Below here grows a verdant kelp forest, tall enough to almost reach her. Growing up among the kelp are tall lilypads of varying heights, though not the kind that reach all the way to the surface. Colorful fish swim all around, some even forming a circle behind her head. Wow, such incredible composition.

Secret Santa (in March) for @fiohsion.bsky.social! It's not the most sanitary establishment but by the twelve does it have good noodles. 🍜

The camera, mounted in a corner on the ceiling of a ramen stand, looks out onto a futuristic street. Sitting at the counter is Fioh Sion, an Elezen in a black jacket with a glowing blue inner collar; and Shizuka Diamah, a Viera in a black and purple coat. Fioh is eating his ramen while being pestered by Shizuka who has already finished hers. She's showing him a funny meme on her phone, which Fioh is looking away from with an annoyed expression. Behind them on the street people are walking past or hanging out at various other storefronts. In the foreground inside the ramen stand, a hooded individual is cooking up more food in a wok. On the floor behind him is a small kitten drinking some milk from a bowl that's been set out for it. In the bottom right corner is a watermark of a bunny, with the text "kaj.blue"

It's perfect actually I don't think I need to do anything else my work here is done

A screenshot from blender where a character has a layer of hair seemingly tied back into a knot, like it's tightly running back along the scalp. At the back of the head is a singular, for lack of a better word, erect ponytail. A big spike of hair pointing straight out.

Thancred Waters and his adopted daughter Ryne striking a pose in the desert of Amh Araeng. They are standing back-to-back with Thancred leaning slightly forward, and Ryne leaning backward against him. Thancred has a serious expression, gunblade in hand, tilted toward the camera. Ryne looks much happier and flippant, holding her daggers but throwing a peace sign with one hand and smiling. It's around mid-day, and it looks very warm.

"Let us dream, then, of a future where our dear comrades lived..."🎇 A christmas-themed comm I made for @vryali.bsky.social, to celebrate their static's DSR clear! Thank you very much :D #ffxivart #vgencomm

A 3D render of Haurchefant and Ysayle celebrating starlight. Ysayle is relaxing on a red couch in front of a fireplace which warmly lights the room. She is looking fondly at Haurchefant who is walking toward her with two steaming cups, smiling at her. Both are wearing casual clothing. Strewn around the fancy Ishgardian room are multiple pieces of gear representing the members of a static, such as a Pictomancer's brush and a Monk's glowing gauntlets in half-opened presents under a decorated tree. Ysayle holds a card gently between two fingers, presumably sent by the members of the static along with the gear-pieces as gifts.

A render for @gilbun.bsky.social of their character Evie, on a stroll with her companions As thanks for the Starlight gifts they're giving away to people 🌟

A 3D render of Evie, a character of @gilbun.bsky.social, crossing a bridge in Sharlayan together with G'raha Tia and Krile. They're chatting as they walk, G'raha carrying four large books and Evie holding one against her chest with her right hand, the other gripping a small paper lunch-bag. Evie and G'raha walk side-to-side while Krile walks a few steps ahead of them. They're lit by a warm light coming from a light post on the side of the bridge. Mist hangs in the air, colored blue by the night sky. Conifer trees stand tall in the mist behind them, and the branch of a closer one peeks into frame from the right.

A Vieran woman in a red tunic and with a large backpack is looking up at the winter sky's aurora / northern lights with an awed expression, as she crosses a massive stone bridge. Warm lanterns line each side, and a merchant in a blue shirt walks a bit farther ahead beside his Chocobo. The aurora has a path curving through it that points at the Viera.

A 3D render of an alley in Kugane. An Au Ra is leaning out from a bookstore on the right, looking up at the sky where fireworks are exploding. Light is coming from the roads around her, but this alley is only lit by the light of the still open bookstore.

A 3D render of a Viera standing in a river lined by glowing crystals. She's looking up at the moon. Behind her is a small waterfall leading down into the river, and tall trees grow along its banks.

Cleaned it up a bit because I think she's cute and deserves it

A brown-haired Miqo'te wearing a tunic and stockings stands diagonally in frame with one leg raised back, her tail curning around it. She has clan-markings on her thigh, partially visible in a small gap outside of the stockings, with the rest of the markings below a thin layer of transparent fabric further down the leg. She wears a glowing green necklace which hangs in the air, wooden bracelets with red fabric tied to them, and knee-high black boots.

A brown-haired Miqo'te wearing a tunic and stockings stands diagonally in frame with one leg raised back, her tail curning around it.

A 3D render of an Au Ra in futuristic clothing, joyfully falling downward towards the Solution Nine aetheryte plaza, past flying cars and skyscrapers. A magic trail leads down to the glowing aetheryte with her, in a spiral pattern. In the bottom left is written in the Solution Nine alphabet: "Endless adventure in SOLUTION IX"

A portrait of an Elezen from Final Fantasy XIV (aka an elf). She is wearing a fancy vest and holding a Red Dragon mahjong tile between her fingers.

A 3D render of a Viera from FFXIV standing in a river in the forest. Behind her is a small waterfall, and the river is lined with glowing blue crystals. She is looking up at the full moon, which is illuminating the scene.

A 3D render of a green-haired Miqo'te crouching by the riverbank. They've caught a fish in their mouth and are grinning slightly at the camera, though again, there's a fish in the way. It's green and summer-y, and dappled sunlight is shining through the forest roof (off-screen)
