My full spread for A Roam Reborn, a #FFXIV travel zine! Kugane Tower ⛩️

A digital painting featuring Yugiri Mistwalker from Final Fantasy XIV standing with her back turned to the viewer, outstretching her arm for a falcon that is about to perch as she stands on a tiled rooftop in the city of Kugane. Across from her is Kugane Tower, a massive wooden structure that touches the clouds. Other birds seem to be flocking to the tower as they soar across the orange sunset.

A digital painting featuring three tents in a forest as a campfire burns between them at nighttime. The only sources of light—the campfire, the moon, and the fireflies scattered about the scene—softly illuminate the tents, grass, and surrounding evergreens. A large, bearded monster with glowing eyes and great tusks can also be seen looming in the distance.

A digital painting featuring two Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Raen and a Xaela Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer in a grassy field in the Azim Steppe. Across from the pair is The Dawn Throne, a massive dome with a stone carving of a horned man wearing a crown. Many pillars surround the structure, and Yol birds are soaring in the blue sky overhead.

A digital painting featuring three Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Seeker of the Sun and Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te, as well as a Raen Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer as they survey the landscape of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum from atop giant water lilies. Across from the trio are a group of korpokkurs—small creatures with round, green bodies and leaves that sprout from their heads. Moss-covered trees, butterflies, and even more korpokkurs appear out of focus in the foreground, adding depth to the blue green scene.

I do think it’s important.

A comic of a black spikes figure speaking to a white figure with a rectangular head. Black figure: “Everything fucking sucks. And everyone online is like… Make art! Art is, you know, super important! But what if nobody cares about my art? Who is that going to help? Who is that gonna SAVE?” White figure: “You. And a few people like you, maybe.” Black figure: “Yeah. Maybe.”
