I'm happy to see this drawing again!

I love Rondo, so I was really excited when Rondo EX came out and even more excited that I got to draw him for PPA! I enjoyed working on this one a lot; I found the design to be a good mix of relatively simple with a few more detailed areas.

A full body drawing of EX Rondo from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. EX Rondo was drawn by Ventus Rocks.

EX Rondo's pose is him standing in a wide and confident stance. He has one hand outstretched, palm upwards, while the other rests on his hip. His expression has him with a wink and a smile. A gentle sea breeze causes his light blue waist sash and ponytail to sway.

EX Elletrix's pose is her walking forward with both arms outstretched on other side of her. One arm is raised slightly higher than the other. The pose and expression gives her a commanding outlook as she oversees the safety on the beach, taking her duty seriously.

The image reads:

A PPA Mini Collab

Octopuff Travelers for OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0'S release on December 4th, 2025... NOW OPEN!

The submit form will open August 25th, and run until December 3rd.
Let's see how many Octopuffs we can collect and share! (Limit per artist is 20 Octopuffs)

What you can do when drawing your Octopuff Travelers:

Please keep your submissions SFW, PPA is a place for all.

- Artwork and crafts is allowed.
- Use the designs from OT2 or CotC (examples below).
- Use pre-established designs from previous official art (examples provided).
- Design your Octopuff Travelers as your favourite Travelers from OT1, CotC, OT2, or OT0!
- Design your Octopuff Travelers as your original characters, or make some Octopuff OCs.
- Feel free to also change the colours of your Octopuffs to suit the design, for this collab, they do not always have to be orange.

Since Octopuffs are a simple shaped character design, the canvas size that is recommended is 1000x1000. Depending on how many are sent, I might have to resize them.

A collection of Octopuffs from various official arts from the Octopath Traveler series.

Please use them as inspiration to draw your own Octopuffs, or even draw some of these designs!

I love the pose you chose to draw. It's a fitting sort of pose for a confident young apothecary, such as Cornelia. The background is also nice, I feel like the green choice really complements Cornelia's blue outfit.

Great job with this one!

I drew Cornelia for this 8 day!

Don't have a whole lot to say for her. She's a pretty simple character overall. But out of all the options in this batch she was really the only one I felt confident enough doing. She turned out all right though!

I am also taking a guess that this is Pius' Path Action pose, since it has the same appearance as other Path Actions in CotC, with that right amount of flow to the outfit and hair.

If this is a pose you are interested in, check out the form below and express your interest in Pius.

Full splash art in the comments!

The General Information Guidelines

They read:

- Every "8" of the month (8, 18, 28) will start up a new prompt, giving you ~10 days to draw your chosen Traveler!

- Choose one (1) Traveler to draw from the four (4) randomly selected each Eight Day!

- The Travelers chosen are randomly selected from categories suitable:
OT1, OT2, CotC Memory, or Twin World
CotC 5-Star
CotC 3 or 4 Star

The Rules Sheet

They read:

- Choose only ONE of the potential Travelers. Allow your choice to have a moment to shine!

- Keep it SFW! Project Path Action is an appropriate place for anyone.

- You do not have to draw their Path Action, that is saved for the Project itself.

- You do not have to participate in every Eight Day prompt. Only do so if you want to or have the time!

- Tag me, or QRP the current prompt! Be sure to use the tag #PPAPrompt as well!

- Any finish level is fine! Sketches, chibis, full illustrations, etc. It is up to you! Be sure to have fun!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Tatrocha! 🎉

Tatrocha was surprisingly easy to do for this chibi, she was only somewhat difficult because alongside working on this design, I was also doing the CN design, which I actually do prefer/and would draw next time.

Tatrocha was drawn in both her human appearance, as well as the Divine Ring form.

blazlngblade.bsky.social drew the human appearance, while spacecinna.bsky.social drew the Divine Ring form.

Tatrocha is walking forward with a hand brought up, crooked at the elbow. The pose shows she is ready to grasp at anything to obtain more power.

It was drawn as a countdown for the 4th Anniversary for CotC in 2024.

#PPAOpenTraveler - Yomi

NOTES:
- She isn't confirmed to be a Traveler, I can only assume based on her being shown in the image for Cross Story.
- She would likely release sometime in November or December.
