Fatebreaker is complete! A tribute to the GoW reboots and a attempt at carrying over a characer's design into the XIV space. It also fits in with some of the high fantasy outfits I was making before my hiatus. Its good to be back! :) Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A hyur poses with his bow wearing an ensemble of fur, cloth, and leather, which is adorned with many belts and trinkets. Bits of chain mail peek through parts of his outfit, and he has a metal pauldron on one shoulder. The style of his garb is heavily influenced by the character design of Atreus from GoW: Ragnarok. This is a new mashup outfit by yours truly available on Heliosphere and Ko-fi.

I'm sorry that I've been stuck in low power mode for a while. I lost access to my creative parts after being retraumatized. It was challenging to process everything I needed to without a creative outlet. It seems my creative parts returned after going on two adventures with a kid and his dad. 🤍

I see a diamond pattern and I think of a particular guy. Edited the index file of the new Cozy Cardigan as a treat to myself, but am releasing it so you can use it, too! [The Howl-inspired mashup is available through this listing but its a bit messy and won't be on Heliosphere] Ko-fi | #bkmods

This thumbnail showcases another texture edit I've done for the index of the new Cozy Valentione's Cardigan, the recent event outfit from XIV. This version has been edited to omit the heart patterns at the top of the cardigan. The cartigan with this new edit has been colorset to resemble Howl's coat form Howl's Moving Castle. There is a rough mashup included that is Howl-inspired, featuring an opened collared shirt, and his pendant necklace, which is a gold chain featuring a sapphire pendant with a ruby accent.

I finally got Corvid Vagabond moved over to Heliosphere! Its still one of my favorite outfits I've mashed up even though I don't have a single OC that uses it. I'm very behind on moving outfits over from ko-fi, but I'm gonna try to do at least one a week. 🤝 Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A thumbnail showcasing an outfit mashup recently uploaded to Heliosphere, Corvid Vagabond. It is a roguish outfit of black, silver, and gray elements of leather, velvet, metal and feathers. There's a lot of green-blue highlights to the outfit to reflect the way a raven's feathers reflects in the sunlight. There's many blades and weapons scattered across the outfit as well. It has corvid/raven vibes with lots of feathers adorning the shoulder pauldrons and trailing off the back of the jacket.

The Casual Ranger is a private c/mm I have been given permission to showcase! A lot of love and learning went into this! I'm also proud of this one since its baby's first upscale to TBSE. Thank you, Quill! 🤍 #bkwips | Ko-fi

A turnaround of a recent outfit mashup commission titled The Casual Ranger. Its a loosely fitted v-neck shirt tucked into a green cloth wrap around the waist. Toggle options include a variety of belts, satchels, bags, vials, potions and some boot knives and shin guards. There's also an assortment of bracers that can be switched out.

I did it, I finally upscaled to TBSE for the first time. It was... so silly that I was so afraid of upscaling for so long. 😔 I'm sorry I'm such a silly guy.

Derusting with... whatever this is?? Sometimes my brain makes something so out of my usual style even I scratch my head a bit. Shortened the Makai Sun Guide top into a jacket with a cheeky little chest wrap side peek. Won't make it out before the patch, but will get it out asap! Sorry!😔 #bkwips

A new outfit WIP that is very... we'll say Brute Bomber coded with a tough of mad max and/or biker gear. It features a black vest which has the sides of it cut away to reveal a linen-wrapped torso and some belts and chains. The vest also has red-brown leather accents and belts both across the chest and around the waist. A large swath of fur sits atop the shoulders. Leather pants with chains and spiked knee and shin guards tuck into fur-lined ankle boots with steel toes and red-brown belts around the ankle and arch of the boot. Asymmetric gloves are a hand wrapping similar to the chest wrap on the right hand, and chain bracelets and rings on the left.

I've been really fortunate to commission some art of my OC! They are by: @lazypotaterz.bsky.social @voidcrest.bsky.social @sarenstone.com (I hope it is okay to tag each of you, I am eternally grateful you took my commission back when and want to share your art with everyone!)🤍

This commissioned artwork features my WoL, Merrill, in their Shadowbringers-era Dark Knight outfit, which is a mix of cloth, leather, and plate with their arm outstretched. Like a mirror, Ardbert has his hand raised to meet theirs. Shadowbringers meant a lot to me, and this piece means a lot to me, too! A commissioned art of Merrill, capturing their silent nature but strong gaze expertly, so much of Merrill's personality coming through in this portrait. They are wearing a mashup I made for them, which is a mix of plate and cloth, and in the background is iconic Ishgard architecture and a swooping dragon. This commissioned art is a side profile of Merrill that I use for the pfp in most of my XIV related profiles/accounts and a good deal of my personal spaces, too. Their hair and outfit is expertly drawn, reflecting the mashup worn and hairstyle perfectly, which is a mix of leather and plate and a braided pony tail with long curls framing their face.

Feeling some holiday blues today, so lets have a #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion Do you have any art of your WoL/OC? I would love to see it to bring some cheer to this holiday season and help promote artists who are FFXIV friendly! :D I will include a lovely work by @milanomochi.bsky.social to start!

I return from a health hiatus with a simple but elegant dress for Starlight! There's multiple toggles to fine tune the look of the dress, and when the holiday season is over, you can toggle off the Starlight decorations to have a nice dress for the rest of the year! Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A newly released vanilla mashup for FFXIV which is a simple but elegant dress. The main part of the dress is a cream colored cloth and it has a green velvet sleeved vest with gold embroidery along the edges. There's a red velvet bow at the neckline as well as bows on each shoulder which drapes to the back of the dress and terminates in another bow with ribbons that trail the length of the dress. The dress is holiday-themed with a green present box with bold and silver embellishments and a red ribbon linked to the gold belt around the waist, and a cute bunch of holly berries and leaves sitting atop the main bow on the chest.

I've never actually posted about it here, but I've had GPOSE commissions up on my ko-fi for a while. Here's some of the ones I've taken so far of very sweet people who'd trusted me with their lovely ocs <3 But well, here goes! Opening five slots at a time for now: ko-fi.com/c/fc8e995e71 ❤️

Dragonhead Drover is complete! Another entry into the town clothes series with woodsy witchy vibes suitable for forager, shepherd or trader characters and BTN/ALC/BLM jobs! This cozy layered look features a few toggles, asymmetrical boots, and many belts. Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A newly released mashup outfit which is a heavily layered cloth and leather look which is a mix between medieval, fantasy, and cottagecore vibes. There's a textured off-white long tunic with a leather vest over a crochet skirt. The leather vest parts to reveals a light blue doublet with silver filigree, and the outfit is topped off with a dark blue pelerine, a light blue scarf, and a copious amount of belts. Patterned leather pants tuck into asymmetrical boots where one is cuffed and goes up to the knee and has a blue cloth wrap which tucks into a flared ankle boot, and the other boot has a greige long sock which starts under the knee, is held up by a belt, and tucks into the another flared ankle boot.

My static is all finished up with our reclears for the tier so I'm just gonna shout this into the void: If any oomfies need a fill for for prog/reclears I can MT, OT, or prange. The fights are so fun and I don't wanna stop doing them. 😭
