#beutiq

So... like, I took these ages ago on, like, the 3rd day of the event, but I’m forgetful and lazy, so it just took a while.

Anyway, it’s fun late summer-time in Eorzea and I got the capsicrew, here, all dressed-up for the occasion. I’ve not.. really collected screenshots before, so I’m sorry they’re not super artistic or w/e.

First, of course, is Jalliim. Ever playing lifeguard. Buuut, he’s still very Unapologetically Gay™ and is less than conservative in his choice of dress. And in that same line, is he making sure to keep a good eye on the swimmers. Sometimes the female ones, too!

Growing up with only fresh water sources, Kola really enjoys La Noscean summertime, day or night. Having a fun summer, of course, is not going to stop her from carrying around a large, dangerous weapon.

And Beutiq, he... BEUTIQ NO!!

Even a vacation is not enough to stop Beutiq’s work. Dawn to dusk, no way he’s going to miss a chance for some good fishing. But at least they wont want for food...

New high end graphics lets go;

Jalliim: Literally perfect. He's so handsome.

Capsisi: Smile not canon. Also looks good. I knew the improvements to darker skin would be good for her.

Kola: Also looks good. Same reason as above for darker skin improvements. I heard some complaints about keeper fangs getting nerfed, but I honestly didn't notice.

Beutiq: I was worried about changes to the umbral rings affecting how I want his eyes to look, but they look just right still. Not sure how I feel about the really bumpy skin, but my spouse and I decided they were just very small scales lol (my spouse also plays au ra)

Ejvi: Hard to judge--where are her goggles lol. I was worried about her "face paint" looking wrong, but they still look like how I intend. The thing on her forehead was never what I pretend it was anyway, so that doesn't matter. I heard some folks say they thought veira were coming out looking weird... but Ejvi was designed to look kinda weird from the get-go, so I see no problems.

Overall, I'm happy with the results. My characters sill look like how I want them to look--based on this trailer, at any rate.

Anyway, here's the other good auto ss:

And, most importantly;

I’ve wanted to do this for a year or two, but never got around to it. But I had each of my WoLs... dress as each other?? lmao, just like... remade each of their “main” glams. Its just self-referential shit, but it makes me happy and that’s what matters--

Jalliim as Beutiq

Capsisi as Jalliim

Kola as Capsisi (had to go with capsisi’s old head piece ‘cause Kola doesn’t have the ultima horns)

Beutiq as Ejvi

and Ejvi as Kola. (she doesn’t take off the goggles for any reason, but they’re at least dyed to match Kola’s hairpin)

I ... I did another one, lmao. Ssorryyyy  ||D
