Carnival of Chameleons

For those who are unaware, the viangaa were a brilliant April Fool’s joke from XIV’s dev team in 2013.

A very vocal group of fans have been calling for the inclusion of viera in Eorzea pretty much since 1.0 was announced, and Fernehalwes’s way of messing with them was to pretend to announce a mixed-race hybrid of viera and bangaa.

Some people apparently got really angry over this before realizing it was a joke.

CRITICAL EDUCATION

New one for SooJin Buzelli at Planadviser magazine, based on the concept of “The importance of the right training/knowledge is power.” A pretty tricky phrase to illustrate, particularly since I needed to encapsulate both of those slightly different ideas. I like all the other sketches, but this is the only one that clicks with the concept. A nice thing with SooJin’s assignments is that I often get neat sketches that I can reuse later on for personal stuff.

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario world made into isometric landscapes by various artists.
