I am finally done with this o|-< - "Blorbo thoughts through art memes : Lana edition"

Feeling bits and pieces of Lana & Rena's story fall into place these past weeks/months since I've started to re-think about them is so satisfying.... I really wanna find something better than the first/old version of their dynamic ! (I don't blame young me, I didn't know any better back then haha) There's still a lot of weird spots and events & changes to figure out (especially their order of arrival) but it's so so fun thinking about them again aaaaa, I missed my messy girls so much

Some lizards from rain world because I love these silly goobers so much (especially the green ones)

I'm in love with Aamira ❤️❤️🙏 can you give us more info about her? Some fun and maybe not so fun facts about her?

Hi Anon ! Thank you for your kind words and for your interest \o/ Aamira's side of the family is the one that Qalaa got her "Beast Curse" from. It's a bloodline hereditary curse that boosts the strength of those in good health (like Qalaari) and eats away at those that have a weak constitution... like Aamira. "Weak" members of the family are usually cast aside or cast out. Aamira ; while still quite young, 16 or so ; ran away from all of this to try to live her life following only her will and enjoy as much of it as possible. Even without the curse Aamira would have had a weak health, but think of it as her Beast basically making her immunodeficient and weaker and weaker as the years go by.

She managed to make a little life for herself in a small unremarkable place close to one of the older forest of the region. There she developed close ties with two siblings, Temhos & Olgha. Both of them members of a tribe that lives deep deep withing the old woods who come to visit the village semi frequently to trade goods and buy things to carry back where they live. Both siblings tried to court Aamira (after months of good relationship), and, eventually, Aamira chose Temhos. For two or three years things were pretty idyllic fro all of them. But then Aamira started talking about wanting a child... Temhos tried to reason with her that with her health it was really fucking dangerous for her to try and that her chances of not making it through were too high for his tastes... Aamira pretended to listen but actually didn't and things got really bad when Temhos found out she was pregnant. They argued, Aamira's health took a downside, Temhos took care of her until she got better again (and Aamira, with her rose-tinted delusional glasses, thought it meant he'd stay). When Aamira was around 7 month pregnant Temhos ran away (very very far away). It broke her heart but not her (by now frantic) determination to see her pregnancy though. She (somehow) found her away again to Temhos' village where she was taken in by Olgha (who was very confused, then very angry (at both Aamira & Temhos), then very panicked). Qalaari was born in this village. Olgha became her surrogate parent to help Aamira raise her (she was still in love with Aamira, but knew that her heart, broken as it was, would still never be hers... I think Aamira knew Olgha's feelings too and could only just be very thankful she still helped her raise Qalaari, despite how painful it must have been for her.) Aamira was very loving with her daughter, but her (now very bad) health and broken heart left her with long dissociative episodes, on top of moments where she wouldn't even managed to get out of bed. That's when Olgha would take care of Qalaari most (frustrated and heartbroken as she was over the whole situation, Olgha genuinely loves Qalaari like her own daughter.) 12 years after, the Beast finally eroded all of what Aamira was (she was still young... probably around 32 or 34 years old ??) and she passed away. Also, how Aamira survived giving birth is nothing short of a miracle. Most likely due to her will of titanium to meet and raise her daughter... Eventually the Beast got the best of her, but she managed to hold on for 12 more years !!

Forgot to share here.... old doodles of when I finally came around to finding a design I like for Qalaari's mom !!

Please perceive my daughter..... I love her so very much

I tend to often draw Qalaari looking all "serious business" but she is honestly a(n unwilling) killing machine wrapped into the warmest softest marshmallow so she definitely smiles around people more often than not 😊

Thank you all for your kinds comments about her too 👉👈 it always warms my heart to see people enjoy her ;;;;;;;;;;

My babygirl Qalaari in FFXIV ! She'd most likely be a half Xaela, half Amalj'aa !

are you cool with people drawing ur ocs?

Hi ! Thank you for asking ! I'm cool with it yeah, as long as I'm credited ! And if possible, may I see it pretty please 🥺 ? Though you don't HAVE to of course 🙏

[mario_oof_noise.mp3] Man... that year rly sucked in terms of art quantity fkmsgjhdkfgjh BUT ! I had a lot of fun with DnD & OCs art so... will try to channel more of that in 2024 ! I also re-started doodling in my sketchbook (though I rarely take pictures bc it's mindless doodles). Will try to keep building the habit up bc I missed doing it.

Been trying to think of "art goals" to set for 2024 but I didn't want to put anything to big or too "achievement"-like... and I think I finally found sth... I wanna make my 2024 personal art MORE gay... more selfish... I wanna draw my OCs (and ships) like Ami Thompson and like HamletMachine. I wanna draw women and intimacy and snippets of life and interactions (and nasty fucking as a bonus)... Lets try to do that. That sounds good.

I participated in a wee Art Secret Santa with a few close coworkers this year. Here's the gift I made ! It was for someone I don't know THAT well so it was really fun to have an added layer of investigation to find what to draw for them 🕵️ (I also put Qalaari in there bc it's the "Red Gang")

Sketchbook rough doodles of the fighter girls practising together 😊

BG3 doodle of Lana & Rena in Baldur's Gate 3 (putting them in there has be so much fun so far mfskdjhg) Lana is a Draconic Sorcerer + Abjuration Wizard Rena is a Battlemaster Fighter (though I'm still rly hesitating with Gloomstalker Ranger !) Of course Rena and Lae'zel (and Karlach ! for future doodles) are sparring partners... it helps them to train individually but also on their cooperation maneuvers.

This has been a wip since forever but I couldn’t stop thinking about post-Mordremoth sylvari Sylvanas…… I think eventually she’d manage to shed her spikes and only have the mark of them left, and her leaves would grow back healthier / less damaged too, but this would be her look for a long while once Mordremoth dies. Taking the other “un-turned” sylvari (coughs Forsakens coughs) under her wing to find purpose together and protect each other from the Pact members that are still hunting them as if they were mordrems because they wouldn’t know any better…..

FFXIV Mitas & Anma with their bff amongst the Scions !

Lyse & Mitas : The one braincell punch bffs. Tbh they liked each other from the get-go, but through Stormblood Mitas really grew to be one of Lyse's close friends (he admires her resilience and mental strength a lot). He regularly goes to visit her!!!

Thancred & Anma : The 'older siblings' of the Scions. Together they take on missions & duties they'd rather not have the others do. The dirtiest and most dangerous. But they're always there to get each other out. Or at least keep each other company in the pit.
