@ahlis-xiv This is what I have lying around, in terms of images. Back in 1.0, Camp Dragonhead was little more than an outpost, iirc.
In the south of the Eastern Highlands, you can see Estinien’s hometown, and Falcon’s Nest in the Western Highlands looks separated from the rest of the map because it was accessed via a tunnel at the northwest edge of the hamlet (the bottom image is a screenshot of the Falcon’s Nest gate). To the far east, you can see Owl’s Nest, which was another settlement like Falcon’s Nest, and like Falcon’s Nest, was accessed by tunnel. You can still visit Owl’s Nest and the rest of the Eastern Lowlands in game if you queue up for Front lines Shatter, you just have to deal with people trying to kill you XD
What Rathien’s homeland USED to look like. I miss green Coerthas so much. In 1.0 I had a friend run me around to get all the aetheryte and after I had access to the highlands I spent a lot of time just admiring the scenery while I prayed for things that were a much higher level not to eat me.
Quietly setting up bases for ref sheets of some characters. Mostly as a warm up set. Drawing for at least 2-3 hours a day, gotta set a schedule. It’s been hard.
This is something I really wanted to work in, some doodles I wanted to render and finish, and mixed them together and made a small sequence of how young Lyn’to and young Zahkis passed part of their time together, considering Zah and Lyn met and been together 13 years ago, even if the Calamity separated them.~
Playing around with the new perform feature, got the beginning of Beauty’s Wicked Wiles – timing is still a little off. This is
music from FFXIV and/or SE, so can be recorded and uploaded. The notes can be seen here.
What started out as a screenshot of Atlan on the toilet in my in-game house turned into something that looks like the fucking blu-ray cover of a season of Game of Thrones.
Because the hyper-aggressive environment he grew up in prized strength and dominance above all – Tiergan tends to instinctively prefer to be the dominant lover. It’s what he learned to enjoy and what he thinks others expect. He likes to pin or restrain lovers, use tools, tease and stave off orgasms, all while to ride everything right along that razor’s edge between pain and pleasure.
He still has some difficulty knowing how to be a gentle lover without a bit of guidance/communication, and will either be extremely overly conscious of needing to handle someone tenderly OR leave his lover covered in scratches, bites, and lovemarks. He privately likes seeing the marks he places on his lovers’ skin or marks left on himself, but it is less about a possessive ‘claim’ on someone to signal no one else can have them and more about the memory of shared touch and experience.
The idea of offering himself up to someone and being the submissive lover allowing himself to be bound, teased, and taken also deeply appeals to him. However, after over a decade spent in a world where his worth and purpose were intrinsically tied to being dominant and aggressive, he finds it impossible to voice any of those desires as it essentially feels like abandoning what makes him worthy to anyone. Being a former slave also makes the idea of being submissive, and especially bound, by anyone an anxiety inducing experience if done poorly. Thus, Tiergan rarely has the opportunity to indulge.
While everyone is out there making beautiful music with the Performance Actions, please keep in mind that SE has told us very specifically not to record and upload songs from third parties:
“However, please make sure to perform music that is FFXIV-related. We
don’t mind if you’re using it for personal use; however, if songs and
music from other titles are being recorded and uploaded frequently, we
may have to remove the feature, so we would like to ask for everyone’s
support…”
They have even added this to the Materials Usage License that you agree to when playing the game:
“In relation to any functions within the game which allow you to perform
virtual musical instruments (“performance actions”), you are strictly
prohibited from performing the music of any third parties. You hereby
warrant that your performance using the performance actions will not
infringe the rights of any third parties and you shall indemnify us in
respect of any breach of such warranty.”
