both of these i am equally proud of

i do still love vanilla posing but these were taken long before i had pc access and they still hold up well to what i consider good work

the blood-red dreamscape and the dreamer both at rest and free falling

and the (saint) ai’mon, sharing a gift

oh he’s so pretty~

gotta sit him down for some higher effort gposes one of these days when brain working… have low effort big boy. i did a little c+ work on him but i may do more yet

chrysoma, my beloved little(hehe) coerthan gentleman thief~

#pyroocs #elezen #duskwight #gposers

chrysoma, a darker skinned, draconic duskwight with dark, patchy scales and winged ears stares down at the camera.

a pale-scaled hand is held against their hip while their soft chest and belly are out in the open.

they have a pleasant smile.

closeup shot of the same draconic elezen. they have a pretty face, sparse beard, and sprawling, pinkish red tattoos branching from their eyes. braids in nearly the same reddish pink tone hang down the right side of their face.

@pyroluminescence.bsky.social

did i just spend until the ass middle of the morning making a new character?

yes. perceive him.

a (cajun)coerthan quarter-dragon, he uses his draconic aether like a reaper uses an avatar.

his voice, accent and all is a dead ringer for gambit. do not @ me.

#gposers #duskwight #elezen #pyroocs

an elezen with winged ears stares down into a waterfall, away from the camera. though it is hard to tell this.

the elezen bears clawed hands and feet alike, the white scales contrasting against a green suit that matches their eyes.

a closer look at the same elezen shows slit eyes, like those of a dragon. they smirk at the camera, head tilted slightly away.

they have bright pink and red hair done up in long, jeweled braids that hang down the right side of their face.

a green tiara of sorts rests just over their forehead, contrasting with the bright pinkish red markings around their eyes.

on their back is a spear with a dragon motif.

here, the same elezen is shirtless. revealing inky, sparse blotches of scales. they don’t match the pale scales covering their hands and feet.

the pale scales do, however, match small wings near the points of their ears.

the draconic elezen also has barbell-pierced nipples, glinting slightly beneath the moonlight.

gambit, from marvel rivals. used as voice reference and design inspiration for a character i’ve been sitting on for a while.

so i was thinking ‘oh neo’s c+ isn’t a lot’

i turned it off and

so, that was a lie. and this doesn’t even show the little(lmao?) bit of work i did to change their eye and nose shape

c+ my beloved, keeping my girl from being a skinny menace

they deserve this fat ass after all i put them through

neo, unseasoned. base resonance body. their waist is way too snatched. hips are almost okay though. their hair is also shorter.

neo, with c+. they have a far wider waist and hips. their chest is a bit wider and their shoulders smaller. their hair is also longer.

neo, living their nonexistent skinny dreams, i guess? they got a lil booty goin on. needs more seasoning tho

neo, with much more pronounced stomach, thighs, and butt. very good. maybe i should even scale them a touch bigger? decisions.

anytime i can get into the headspace of a character in a surreal moment… oh man. words go brr. this is pictured below.

when i can make my ocs vulnerable. be it through kinky smut or them pouring their hearts out.

lemme tap into an oc’s stream of consciousness and you’ll get a mini novel.

something that tasted like guilt and regret twisted about the neophyte's throat as they walked off the beaten path of the cursed forest. whispers tickled their horns, warnings that following these same steps would lead them to where the owners of the voices had died. the neophyte gave their usual placations to the spirits, pushing on ahead.

something unfamiliar curled about their mind like a snake, settling with a dull ache at the base of all four of their horns.

'curse-bearer. blood-letter. dream-walker.’

the neophyte tilted their horns towards the faint voices and followed the sound. there was no need to reply, for who else would answer such a call?

they walked, deep into the sylphlands, where only those welcomed by the woods dared to tread. even with hardly any magick at their beck and call, the neophyte walked unafraid beneath the canopy of trees and strangely glowing plants.

“ . . . here, again . we have sent the one who died here into the storm . burned her remains as she asked . so who then, pray tell, calls to the neophyte now ? "

and indeed, the charred remains of a hut could still be seen. not yet fully reclaimed by the woods despite the passing of time.

‘ . . . a warning. though the lady of snakes has blessed you and her children will recognize you on sight, ashen one... you are being hunted in turn.’

the neophyte tapped at one of the horns sprawling from their bone mask, staying perfectly silent as the strange words settled.

" we are capable of defending ourselves . no mere beast or the hand behind their creation can stop death from coming for them . “

'death... yes. spoken as an ashen one. unafraid of the dangers that lie in your path... but please heed this warning. you know not what you used to be. those who do will take great pleasure in making you taste the same hand of death... however temporary it may be.’

the neophyte's mouth fell open slightly only for them to let out a laugh that sounded out like bells across the charred hut
remains.

" a warning that something wishes to kill us ? as if that will stop us . we were told we would die again so many cycles ago and nothing has done it yet . and when it does, we will wake up with another curse as always . if someone takes pleasure in it, we cannot stop that, can we ? “

the echoing voice, the spirit(s?) that chose to give this warning seemed stunned into silence for a moment.

neo is actually autistic-coded. they were always meant to be an outlier who quite literally ‘wears masks’ to keep themselves apart from mortals.

but as i wrote them a few friends pointed out their autistic traits and now its more of a conscious choice i make when writing them.

#theneophyte

the neophyte (they/he/she) smirking and pointing off at some poor soul to be given nightmares for them to feed off of.

the neophyte bearing a flaming-horned mask covering the top half of their face and holding a claw to their lips in a ‘shhhh’ motion.

i’ve done a few poses for neo but i should show hunter some love as well

meet: the anamchara siblings!

they’re all gelmorran duskwight (but are they really) and hunter is the youngest of them all.

gonna talk abt them each in more posts ;w;

#celestialsoleil #gposers #elezen #duskwight #pyroocs

bright, golden light surrounds a trio of elezen.

soleil, aurora, and {redacted} who goes by ‘hunter’.

one bears pink hair and a wide grin, her arm wrapped around her brother, seemingly mid-laugh. this is aurora.

one has blue and orange coils, a crown with sun and star motifs resting upon her head. she holds her two younger siblings in a group hug, eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face. her hand meets with aurora’s over their brother’s arm. this is soleil.

between both of the other two lies hunter, a happy little grin able to be seen even over his high collar and shaded glasses.

an angle of the same shot, the lighting a bit softer and highlighting soleil’s expression a bit more. here, you can see she too is smiling like her siblings. she’s holding them like the precious things she believes them to be.

a closer shot of the trio, aurora’s bright smile still on display. here, hunter is more visible and though his eyes are hidden behind maroon colored shade, a little grin is easy to see without his high collar in the way.

from this angle, you can see that aurora and hunter have matching earrings.

another pic of the first shot but this time with no harsh lighting on the siblings.

hunter is noticeably paler in hair and skin than his two sisters.

👉🏽👈🏽 i’m mixed black and 95% of my ocs are also mixed in some way or another!

i’ll just talk abt neo since i have the most pics of them!!

they’re a steppe-born xaela who was raised in both limsa and ishgard.

they’re inheritor to a legacy they have only barely scratched the surface of >

the neophyte (they/he/she pronouns) cradling a candelabra and staring forlornly off towards the viewer.

the neophyte, bearing mask with a large gemstone between the eyes and greeting a visitor to the ashen atrium, an inter-dimensional library they watch over.

the neophyte unmasked, sitting in the same atrium with a neutral expression.

the neophyte, smirking and pointing out a victim to suffer nightmares for the night in the dreaming.

neo canonically treasure hunts and found this weird ass cat-dragon that demands shiny rocks. it fits right in with the wards they already have.

a witch, and their creature cat.

#theneophyte // #pyroocs // #gposers

the neophyte (they/he/she) taking a moment’s break in a stall eerily decorated with all saints’ carved pumpkins.

their face is hardly visible in the dark, but a gimme kitten is clearly staring into the soul of the viewer while neo stares on calmly.

give it some ore. it don’t bite.

THEY HAVE MY WHOLE ENTIRE HEART AAAAUUUUUGH I LOVE MY LIZARD

they’re carrying a few guiding flames to protect their lovers while they go ghost-sightseeing~ they decided to go with the slightly impractical dress to impress their lovers

this is their happy face.

#theneophyte // #pyroocs // #gposers

a frontal look at the neophyte (they/he/she) holding a candelabra with five candles. they’re wearing a red, lacy robe and their claws are painted to match it.

their red eye is just visible, almost cradled by their hand, but blocked by the middlemost candle.

a different view of the same shot. more of the neophyte’s expressionless face is visible here.

though their face does not show it, they are quite happy.

again, another angle of the same shot. here, the neophyte holds a forlorn expression as they cradle one of the violet flames of theirs.

perhaps something makes them a bit nervous before what would otherwise be a fun night.

oberon my love, my favorite weird little robot creature.

warframe reworks are so fun, weehoo, fairy boy is back in the rotation. not that i ever abandoned my fave, lmao.

screenshot of a warframe, oberon, dressed up with a strange pumpkin for a head and wearing a cape of flowers bright red, pink, and purple in color.

he’s assuming a stance like there’s something hovering above his palm, standing before a twisted tree in a foggy, vegetated space.

he looks like the headless horseman of sleepy hollow.

#thedreamerinthedark
>> sometimes the neophyte will play along with their food. gifting someone a glimpse of the sweetest dream before making their life a living nightmare.

anyways neo’s thighs. that is all. please send help. please i am on my hands and knees.

the neophyte (they/he/she pronouns) smirking at a presumed visitor to their room… but its likely a dream. they’re wearing a sheer set of lingerie and keeping an inviting and intriguing air about them.

a different angle of the previous pose, showing off both the sheer nature of their outfit, and their thigh. this is very important. these thighs have crushed sunmelons.

the neophyte’s grin seems somewhat more predatory, and yet ever-so-friendly, as they hold a claw out to a presumed visitor.

someone is about to have a bad time.

to be singled out by the neophyte in the dreaming during the autumn season is a dance with a fate worse than death.

a closeup of the neophyte’s totally innocent smirk. babygirl behavior. kiss her head.

oh my dear lord.

absolute laziest gpose in the history of man but behold. i might make an actual set of them dolled up.

i think they deserve it, looking like this.

#theneophyte // #pyroocs // #gposers

my oc ‘the neophyte’ (they/he/she pronouns) standing calmly in the /attend emote.

they look somewhat witchy and regal at the same time, wearing a jeweled, scaled dress that shows off all of their thighs and most of the center of their chest & midriff.

their hair has again changed color, now a deep indigo rather than ice blue.

they are also without a mask of any sort.

soleil wears his dark red glasses anytime he’s outside during the day. the bright lights make his eyes hurt and can make him sneeze more.

in the caverns he was born in he tends to not wear them as he has darkvision and lantern light is fine on their eyes.

#celestialsoleil // #pyroocs

aurora soleil, an albino poc, dustwight elezen(maybe, teehee) he/they if you would.

here, he is in a stance of prayer before a statue outside one of the entrances to the cavern he lived most of his life in.

this is a gesture any who travel away make for good luck and blessings from their great mother.

travelers wear golden jewelry to mark themselves as ‘children of the gold-blood ascendant’. for hunters, blooded or unblooded, the go-to jewelry is claws, seen on soleil’s fingers here.

aurora soleil (he/they pronouns) in his unblooded, traveling hunter’s gear.

they assume a meek, sneaky stance, holding golden-clawed fingers before their chest, and a dagger hidden behind their back.

though it is dark in the picture, soleil wears the glasses to not give away the faint glow of his eyes in the dark.

also, gil. gil is nice.

playstyle card ft my favorite classes atm. sage, scholar, dancer, pictomancer, and white mage. warrior and reaper are fun in thought but tanking is stressful. also, all crafters and gathers except fisher. what is a fish.
