The Summit of Mt. Gulg (CW suicide) Been rotating this comic in my mind for years and my Patreon supporters voted to make it happen! Here's how Mt Gulg went in the #Brambleverse, and a love letter to one of my favourite scenes in the game 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIVart #FFXIVSpoilers #Shadowbringers

FFXIV comic showing my Warrior of Light, Roscoe, a lalafell with long dark hair and all-black armour, kneeling on the ground at the top of Mt Gulg. Emet-Selch says to him, "What a disappointment you turned out to be. I placed my faith in you. Let myself believe that you could contain the light. But look at you now... halfway to becoming a monster." He kneels down and uses a gun to lift Roscoe's chin, saying "You still retain your form and your senses... but you have all but become a sin eater." In the background, Yuyuka, a blonde lalafell with horns, looks on in horror.

Page 2 of the comic. The panels pan across images of the structures of Mt Gulg, the Crystal Exarch unconscious on the ground, Alphinaud and Thancred gritting their teeth, Alisaie and Y'shtola looking tense and horrified, and Yuyuka on the verge of tears. Emet-Selch continues, "Whether you will it or no, your mere existence will serve to engulf the world in Light. Those few left with the will to fight may rise up against you. But before your absolute might, they will quickly know despair. "There is no hope." "We are finished." "Mankind is finished!""

Roscoe puts a dagger to his own throat, saying, "No. I won't let that happen."

Page 3 of the comic. Roscoe slits his own throat, with red blood spraying across the panel. Yuyuka runs forward with a scream, tears pouring down her face. A close-up of Roscoe's eyes shows them slowly closing as Emet-Selch says "I shall look forward to seeing you bring the world to its knees... hero."

D&D party commission for Omar! ✨ This is the biggest commission I've done to date, and was an interesting challenge because each player also wanted their own character individually, so the poses need to work together and solo. Thank you so much for trusting me with them!! 🎨 #bexarttag #VGenComm

A group illustration of a D&D party on the deck of a ship. There is a winged red-skinned tiefling in a long coat with a gun; a human woman with an eyepatch and a left arm made of enchanted armour, wielding fire magic; a puppet-like creature in a long purple cloak with mechanical hands and three glowing eyes; a lion-like man with black fur wearing an open red shirt and loose trousers; a man with a goat-like skull for a face and black fur; a black-furred young tabaxi dressed in green wielding a bow and arrow; and a skeleton bard playing a lute which glows with spectral effects. In the background, floating in the sky, is a frog with dice around them, representing the DM.

Coloured sketch from the shoulders up of Yuyuka, a blonde-haired lalafell from FFXIV. She has horns with the right one broken, and is wearing a strapless green dress. There is a strong shadow across her eyes, and she looks at the viewer with a disgusted expression. A speech bubble next to her says "Pathetic."

Old art for a #BG3 zine featuring my Tav Ashes and Karlach (2024) ✨ This piece is also the debut of my now-favourite technique of watercolour paper texture over CSP hoarse oil brush, my beloved 💜 🎨 #bexarttag

Artwork of my Baldur's Gate 3 Tav, Ashes, standing back-to-back in a dungeon with Karlach, both of them embroiled in combat. Ashes is a femme purple tiefling with shoulder-length hair and short horns, wearing a black sorcerer's robe with gold pauldrons, and holding a tall gold staff. They are holding their chest where they're bleeding from a wound, while glowing blue smoke comes from their mouth as they build up to a powerful spell. Karlach is a tall red tiefling with one curled horn and leather armour, wielding an axe and smiling confidently towards a robed skeleton making its way toward them through a doorway, wielding a sword.

Four characters dressed in 80s-style gymwear against a backdrop of a retro pattern in pastel colours. On the right is Sydni, a blue fairy with blue morpho wings and moth antennae, wearing a yellow leotard with pink tights; next to them is Raine, a human with light skin, long brown hair with a yellow bow in it, a green off-shoulder top, pink shorts and trainers; left of Raine is Tarron, a satyr with light brown skin, long dark brown hair, a tail, claws and a muscular build, wearing a crop top and trousers in turquoise and pink; and on Tarron's shoulder is Roscoe, a FFXIV lalafell with grey hair and a black stripe across his eyes, wearing a green golf visor. Roscoe is grinning, while Sydni and Raine are striking poses, and Tarron looks confused.

It was my friend @strixling.bsky.social's birthday last weekend, and I made some lil guys from our FFXIV Brambleverse and our original Equinox project respectively, to go on her birthday banner and cake! 🍰 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV #OCsky

Simply drawn cartoony heads of four characters from FFXIV: Yuyuka, a female lalafell with light skin, blonde hair and horns, one of which is broken; Roscoe, a male lalafell with tan skin, grey hair and a stripe across his eyes like a raccoon; S'kreigh, a male miqo'te/Hrothgar (lion man) with dark skin, black hair that turns into a blonde gradient at the bottom, and star hair clips; and Khali'ra, a grey-skinned, black-haired viera with pink face tattoos.

Two cartoony characters holding a banner that says 'Happy Birthday Sian!' On the left is Bee/Yuyuka, a light-skinned, blonde-haired girl with horns and a white-and-green dress; and on the right is Roscoe, a man with tan skin, black hair, a stripe across his eyes, and an all-black outfit. Bee looks nervous with tears in her eyes, while Roscoe is grinning broadly.

happy international asexuality day let's destroy compulsory sexuality

a tumblr post by user saltypuffins. it reads:

"i know so many aces who make the best erotic art!!!!!! 😊"

good for them! i'm glad they can express themselves with that kind of art. but do you also support aces who are repulsed by sex? do you support aces who skip past sex scenes because it squicks them out? do you support aces who will express that they dislike certain types of content that you enjoy? do you call repulsed aces "puritans" for simply having a preference?

or do you only support aces who do things that you value? 🤔

and if you are ace yourself.... do you only support aces who are like you? or do you support the entire spectrum?

you need to support aces who don't make erotica. you need to support aces who will never pass out water bottles at the orgy. you need to support aces who will never contribute to anything sex related ever. no ifs ands or buts. even other aces need to understand this. please consider how you are only giving in to compulsory sexuality.
you need to support aces who will never do anything you value. you need to support aces who dislike things you value. no exceptions.

Sydni Villette, fairy bard 🦋 Updated ref sheet for the Witchlight Monarch herself, complete with new travel and performance outfits! 🎨 #bexarttag #OCsky #D&D #fairy

Character reference sheet for my fairy bard, Sydni. They're a femme blue fairy with blue morpho wings, shown in two outfits: a black bodysuit with partial leather armour, boots and a bakerboy cap with goggles, and a black dress with gold trim and ribbons around their ankles. On the left is a colour swatch palette with each swatch shaped like a butterfly.

Text reads: Sydni Villette, she/he/they. Fairy, glamour bard, height: 3'0".
A fairy born in the mortal realm and lost in the Feywild for 180 years, Sydni is a complex bundle of grief with scattered memories, wrapped in a veneer of whimsy. Flitting between emotions at the drop of a hat can give the impression that they do not feel them at all, but that is not the case. Syd is an easy person to approach, but a difficult one to truly get under the skin of.

⭐ Madonna and Child ☀️ My full illustration for the Original Classic zine; featuring Euphony and Meraki! #DigitalArt #OCsky #Zine 🎨

Illustration of two humanoid but ultimately celestial-esque beings. The androgynous adult is wearing a dark robe and stands cradling a child over a galaxy-like balcony with a grin. The child has a beauty mark near her smiling mouth and is depicted wearing an orange robe. Both figures have glowing hair and the child is playing with wings on the adult's head. The composition is inspired by Madonna and Child by Duccio di Buoninsegna.
