A chibi of Fabio from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. He is in a pose befitting a dancer, with his back turned and arms outstretched on both sides. His legs are one in front of the other. His head is hung backwards, looking up with closed eyes and a large smile on his face.

I have obtained a poetic number of 888 Sacred Seals! I am saving these for when new Travelers are added into the pool.

I also have 10 Veteran Seals which will be used when Nada is added. If I don't get Nada from those, I might use some of the Sacred Seals for them.

On my lunch break, I tried a few rounds of the Warrior Tower and finally won it! So now Tikilen is a 6-Star, and of the Arena 8, all that is left is L'eeto and Yan Long.

Very close with the Warrior Tower EX2 (Yes, I am not done them yet), and probably could have had it, but I lost all characters that could break the bottom magic machine.

I need to make a dedicated weapon for Celes, but she really helped here to sort of absorb the magic.

Durand! I loved him when I only knew him for 40 minutes. Yay for screenshots!

Anyway, Durand is a great character! He's like, perfectly catered to me as a seafarer enjoyer. He was made in a lab to be for me.

I'd love to draw him more because he's really awesome. We need more seafarer Travelers!

It took me bitching in order for us to get information on them.

I was right about Goodwin being an actor instead of a dancer specifically.

His description is great, he sounds so dumb. I am glad I at least have one seafarer like friend for Elletrix.
Preview of Goodwin from Octopath Traveler 0. Both playwright and actor, he pursues fantastical stories abounding in adventure. He was driven out of the city of arts due to artistic differences, and attempted to put on performances at sea, only to meet with a shipwreck. This experience inspired him to take up the name of Shipwreck King.

I can't really decide who I want on my team, or even update my image, until I have clearer art.

I also desperately need higher quality art for Elletrix. That way I can start using this image more, as I 100% prefer it over her CotC art.

I need this art clearer before I show my team.

I want to know more information on Esper and Goodwin.

I like the look of Goodwin, so he's probably going to be on my team, but I'd like to know his description. And Esper is kind of intriguing to me, if he's anything like the other kid characters I like, I wouldn't mind putting him on my team.

Happy 1st Anniversary to Crick! 🎉

Not gonna lie, I struggled a bit with this one. Every art that he appears in is inconsistent. Plus, I needed to match his armour to Mydia. At the end of it, I chose to mostly reference his hairstyle with the concept art.

The fact that Ivri and Gacco actually DO have their hair fringes on the side of Elletrix (for Ivri) and Leon (for Gacco) has me bouncing off the walls. I already drew them this way, so I don't even have to adjust to anything.
Official art for Elletrix from Octopath Traveler 0, however it is cropped to focus on Ivri and Gacco.

They made new art for the Guardians!!!! Except Bargello, for some reason (which sucks, because his art sucks since it's too crowded).

But look at how cool Elletrix looks!! That art will look amazing placed next to Leon's.

Ophilia also got new art, thankfully!

Since Elletrix redeems pirates, she would have probably helped him get his life on track and have a better reputation. They are also close friends in canon.

There's even official art of her holding a sticker of him! 🥰

Heh... I could probably ramble about these two for a really long time, tbh.

Thank you for hosting this raffle, and congratulations for reaching 600+ followers!! I hope you reach 1000 before you know it!

If I were to be chosen, I would think it'd be fun to see Leon or Elletrix in your style (or together because I ship them)

Better yet though, these summer designs, maybe?

For example, despite Castti, Merrit, Soleil, and Macy all being apothecaries with a similar Path Action theme, Castti has a weaker pose than Merrit, Soleil, and Macy due to it being stiff.

Castti's pose is stuck to a more gameplay aspect while Merrit, Soleil, and Macy get to express character.

Okay, but does anyone else ship Laurana and Phenn?

They had such good interactions, and something about the way they would speak really does make it seem like somethings going on between them. Phenn's comment in the tavern cutscene was probably what sold me, but also Phenn's side quest too!

My ideal team is still a WIP, I am mostly judging based on vibes. I know that Elletrix won't be a party member for a while, which is fine, thankfully I like Macy and Laurana so far, I just don't know if I want them as permanent members of my team yet.

So I am planning on using my OC, Akira. He's a scholar OC, but I am thinking I am gonna use the job Thief for my playthrough, because I think the design fits him better.

Basic Info: he has heard tale of a mysterious island located in the Middle Sea (Agapaea), and he wishes to chart it one day.

...I just seen someone say that EX Ditraina is fanservice.

Excuse you, but this is a ~15 year old in a HALLOWEEN COSTUME, whom is just trying to have a fun time at a festival.

Get out of here. Ditraina fans are so creepy.

Happy 1st Anniversary to Mydia! 🎉

Ooh, first Traveler I get to share a chibi for! And it's Mydia!

She's one of the better things that came from Side Solistia (alongside Lucian and Aval), and for that reason I happily guided her. She is fun to use!

Completed EX4 for 1/4 of the Feintz rematches (gosh, I hate that).

I am 70 points short, so I still need to do one more fight. I don't know how these are going to go in the future, so I think I might just do a small fight just to finish up. EX4s take too long, and it isn't worth it for 70 points.

When Al and Jurgen haven't heen added into the Manuscript yet, but four Feintz fights can be...

The Manuscript is 3 years old now, and Al and Jurgen are Chapters 1 and 2 of Master of Power.

Healeaks looks hideous on low quality. 😂

It looks so dry, like it could probably use some rain soon. (Sorry, not sorry).

I look forward to seeing what happens here in Cross Story, I feel like Nada will fit best here.
