Site Entry Art

• After many, many thumbnails and ponderings I FINALLY came up with a satisfactory image. It's going to be one of my Citadelean Questing Beasts sotting near a sign
• Looks pretty good so far! I decided to try to mirror the pose of the 404 art so they'll hopfully look nice next to each other. 
• Initial lineart is done; next step is to do a quick layer in ink and then start painting

I then made the mistake of announcing "this won't take as long as the 404 art! I don't plan on pausing for video games!" and then a monkey's paw curled somewhere and the universe bestowed upon me KITTENS

We were planning on getting some new cats later because my boy Mister has been lonely since his sister passed away but I guess the cat distribution system decided we needed to have them now. Anyway we now have 12-week-old Iris and 6-month-old Lily. They're both tuxedos but Iris seems to be a domestic longhair, and I think Lily might be an oriental shorthair or a mix of one. Lily is possibly the most laid back cat I have ever personally met; she is completely unbothered by everything and loves to cuddle and gently touch with her paws. Iris is microscopic; probably weighs less than an average tissue box, is very much "I'M BABY!!" and alternates between being a little fairy princess and being a menace, and needs a lot of attention either way. Mister is scared of them both but we're hoping he'll warm up sooner rather than later. Otherwise they have been settling in very well!

Bummer that I haven't been able to work on anything the last several days, but that's okay C: it will still be there.

Alright, some background, I played FF14 for about two years straight, then burned myself out at the beginning of last year. I have still been playing attention to updates though, and resubbed for the latest moogle treasure trove because I really wanted two of the TT cards. I then decided to go through Dawntrail while the sub was still active because, you know, I paid for it.

Anyway I finished 7.3 last night and here are a couple thoughts on the experience as a whole

First Post! I've been meaning to make this journal for a while. Ideally I would like to use this to documents thoughts/projects a little more. I do tend to do this on my tumblr but I don't like rambling there that much. Since this is a journal site I'm going to take advantage and. Ramble in my journal. In the future I'd also really like to integrate this into my future website but we'll see!

Project Update: "Curio #1"

• This is also for my eventual website and is...I guess it can be classified as "experimental web art" for now. The actual content is still a secret, BUT
• As of last night the bulk of the art is done. I still need to do intro and outro pieces (as well as scan and clean up everything) but this is still a huge milestone as I've been working on those for weeks now. I think that turned out really cool so I hope others like them too! (my brother does so I guess GOAL ACCOMPLISHED lol)

Other Projects on the Radar

• Website is still going to need the intro image/"spash page" plus a banner image. I'm thinking about making the banner a horizontal repeat thing but I haven't fully decided
• Still need to redo my icon since I made an actual sona. This is going to take me like...an evening at most, the buildup is so, so much longer than the actual creation time will need.
• I would Really Really like to get some kind of ref sheet done of poor Akiyohm this year. I really want to get some art commissioned of him but I've really been waffling around on his hair and outfit. You wouldn't know by looking at my current stuff but he's been wearing the "best boy oc" ribbon for a while so I feel really bad not making as much art of him and showing him off as I'd like. ^^;
