#moonbyte art

Original idea was to make a pair of couple avatars, but needless to say, drawing these two was too much fun, so the image got bigger and bigger. In retrospect, Sicard should probably look a bit more feisty, but I kinda like him having a softer expression in this context

Either way, here's also the avatars

There's something funny about how the dude without ANY decoration (like, it was a highlight that he got a HAIR TIE) is often shipped with the two characters who are notoriously generous and got more gold than Nald ever intended someone to have.

Iron & Gold - aka Naza and Asrien

So I have finished the Tithenai chronicles by @fozmeadows (containing the two novels "A Strange And Stubborn Endurance" and "All The Hidden Paths"), and I am incredibly pleased by these very well-written books while equally sad that the series is resolved with 'only' two books.

So, in true spirit of fandom, I decided to add to the empty space that exists with fanfiction: Iron & Gold In this case, since I feel like the main characters Velasin and Caethari are deserving of a fairly UNEVENTFUL life from here-on out, and dear Markel also doesn't need any more stress and stabbings in his life, I focused on the two that I am absolutely very normal about (I swear. I PROMISE. Ask my friends which I definitely haven't bribed), which would be Naza and Asrien. Ok, look, I enjoy size difference (and if Velasin is like 1.75m, then Asrien is 1.5m and Naza is frigging 2m; Asrien is just SO TINY and Naza is SO TALL) and their entire dynamic is extremely unexpected and fun. No spoilers from me on whether this is just a random ship I caught onto or if there's something more substantial, read the books to find out ♪ Either way, I have 23 chapters planned out (lets see if it stays at that lmao) for what may happen to them after All The Hidden Paths and I had to vent all the excitement for having finished the novels and starting now with the fic by diving into fanart.

I know that authors can't (officially) acknowledge fanfics of their own works, but I hope you like the art I made (there is NO Asrien/Naza art! How? Why?!), and I hope you are pleased in knowing that at least one reader loved the world you created a whole lot ♥ (I also may or may not have infected four more friends with buying those books cause I kept raving about them haha)

(Context: KarmenSparx on Twitter suggested that Ishgard could have an Elezen variation of the Asterix & Obelix comics, and I absolutely love that idea, so...)

Not Within View Of The Fury

Just randomly wondered if those with 'unsanctioned' relationships have some odd rules like "never hold hands in front of a statue of the Fury" or "never kiss while outside or by a window", not because some citizen might see, but because the Fury might see and judge them from her Heaven of Ice.

One Kai Kowaii (technically for @cutiepotata...which is me, so xD). I just really like the WHM UI, ok.

I have zero recollection why I thought of this moment in the raid with this scene from Lilo & Stitch, but sometimes things turn out best when you Just Do It™ So I hereby deliver an animatic of Konogg realizing that he is now all alone in the world.
