I am fingers crossing that by increasing the opacity on the top I can avoid flagging but lets find out
together
BUT ANYWAY
there was another FFXIV Gala event on twitter that I participated in and since the theme was Fairytales and I am someone who looks for any excuse to bring up my favorite folktale, I had to pay homage to Prince Lindworm by depicting Zenos as the titular Lindworm and Earley as the shepherd鈥檚 daughter.聽
You can read the folktale here!
There鈥檚 also a process video available for Patrons! (which I try to do with all my illustration pieces)
Design notes below the cut for interested folks
Tumblr media
The goal with Zenos' outfit was to communicate shedding skin, with each layer getting more raw. So its a matte wool suit layered with shiny red satin and the underlayer being soft velvet (originally the suit had iridescent sequins sewn near the cuffs to imply scales but I couldn鈥檛 find a way to depict it nicely, though I think it would look stellar IRL)聽
Earley's was heavily inspired by Queera Wang's gender neutral wedding designs, which also worked well with the layered "fine shifts" in the story. Other elements minorly borrowed from folk designs (it was a stronger influence earlier in the design but a lot of it got discarded) and I鈥檓 very sad her boots could not be shown off in the final composition聽
there's also...another theme in the designs but I think you can figure that out~

No actually I'm still hung up on it.
Zero's "a friend is a person your trust" revelation DIRECTLY followed by the WoL thinking about Zenos.
Zenos, whose feelings towards the WoL were so strong that they not only broke through Meteion's Ultimatium, carried the Warrior on his back, and then as he lay dying STILL had a strong enough sway over the dynamis in at the edge of everything to save the WoL's life, letting himself die at the end of it, their conversation ending with Zenos, through his final act, confessing that the only happiness he found in life was with someone that he didn't know how to love in a way that wasn't violent and selfish with a passion enough to tear the world apart.
"A friend is a person you trust" not to WoL, not ONLY at least, because they had a friendship that was not built on the foundation of a mutual trust, but on the foundation of challenge, and acceptance for the other as the broken, fascinating thing that they are.
My enemy, my friend.

Thinking about the Durante/Zenos WoL/Golbez parallels right now and the one that sticks out the absolute MOST is that Durante is what Zenos would have been if he had his "good reason." If he and the WoL had been on the same team to begin with, if they were fighting the same fight.
Durante doesn't know how to cope with Golbez gone, he was who he was because of Golbez, what was he *without* Golbez, so instead of finding that out, he BECAME Golbez. Just as Zenos needed to know the WoL so badly that he hijacked their body, Durante needed to keep Golbez as close as possible and followed his friend's ambition to it's most destructive extreme, his way of keeping Golbez alive. Like Zenos tore the world apart to keep HIS connection with WoL alive.

"pathetic" (turns away with the fattest ass in eorzea)

when i finished stormblood i laughed when he [redacted] to deny you the satisfaction of doing it. finished shadowbringers recently and him stopping a fantasy atomic bomb because it's too boring? made me laugh. hilarious white boy.
somehow he was concocted in a lab to torture my wol's specific issues. struggles with bloodlust, wanting to find someone who "understands him" and wanting an 8ft tall bf - all things he decided to give up on after hvw and then in walks this clown who won't leave him alone
