26 year old Pokémon and Furry Artist. Mostly casual art but might sometimes share transformation art. That and I'm a Twitch Affiliate that usually livestreams on Tuesdays and Fridays (and Saturdays if FF14 is involved). Extremely FF14 coded nowadays.

Just going to say this before going back to sleep. Considering doing Endwalker and beyond Alliance raids on stream... There is however a caveat. I will 100% NOT do the Evangelion raids on stream. They may be good, but for me anime is kinda a no go zone for livestreams.

Mainly in that there's literally a high likelihood, in my mind, that the sound track for those raids are going to be heavily copyrighted. Might be ok with it if it was a game crossover, but I feel like anime crossovers have high PKMN Violet credit music jumpscare potential in copyright troubles...

So, for my mental sanity, I ain't doing Evangelion FF14 raids on stream... Although as a sidenote, kinda a bit funny that Evercold basically has the makings of the "we are number one winged angel" meme in terms of raid content, just minus the Lazytown part of the meme. Ok. Back to sleeping now.

Thinking of drawing the other role specific classes for Dusky at some point. White mage look is figured out, basically the classic Dusky hat with purple accents instead of red for base WHM look... Just don't have that class's weapon figured out. Thinking of keeping a Monstrorum-esc vibe...

As for ranged class... Currently thinking of machinist, but might go with crossbow. Depends on when that's available... As a note, though it's an entirety new class, I'll probably not do that job quest on stream. Main focus is on PCT and RPR for livestreams.

... But using the dyeable variant of the weapon. So not the Monstrorum WHM weapon, but a weapon that looks like it and is dyeable. For Gunbreaker, since the weapon playstyle is likened to the character basically having a shotgun, thinking of magician look (so for once, no in game outfit here...)

(... Specifically, in game, the glamour will be a casting set placed over the other class's armor.) Although, think I found a good dyeable gunblade, so this outfit is going to easier to work on first... To bad WHM is current main focus (aside from RDM, but that’s for fun, not used for role quests).

OctransFur Day 27: Lesson Note to Self: Hopping between worlds can be really disorienting... Can actually say this now, let's just say that my WoL ain't even the WoL of the 14th. He's practically a traveler from a completely different world whose curiosity is both a curse and a boon. #octransfur

Since I've decided to get back to it at some point. Made the white mage icon for the personal pizza pepperoni art this time. Although, currently focusing on the for fun Red Mage class. But once that's done, I'm going to try to fully level up white mage via duty support.

Mainly plan on leveling up white mage because I feel like doing all the role quests in game. Which means I also need do play a tank (gunbreaker... Duty support for that as well...) and ranged physical DPS (machinist, will do duty finder where possible for that one) eventually.

My take on Azem (or Azem!Dusky as I'll call it) from FF14. Though being extremely helpful and explorative, this Amaurotine has both a mischievous and logical streak in terms of personality. He's well known for pulling multiple pranks and, when alone, usually transformed into a fox when mischievous.

As a further note, thinking of adding the Azem look to the glamour options on stream now. Think in game thought is that it'll basically be Dusky when he absolutely enters LB mode. Calling upon Azem's full capabilities so to speak. Meaning that story wise, this look is EXTREMELY rare.

Continuation of this, might swap back to the Azem look for the rest of Elpis. Feel like offscreen, the memories would've kicked in. Although, Dusky is definitely going to be slightly mischievous and wear the Azem look when returning to the Scions.

Some further lore, it's highly likely that FF14 Dusky will have likely "remembered" his unsunderred life as Azem while in Elpis. Meaning that the Scions are going to end up with a FF14 Dusky with Azem!Dusky's personality when he eventually returns from his information searching trip to Elpis.

Basically meaning that after Elpis, FF14 Dusky will be much more mischievous than normal. Highly likely he may playfully tease/mess with his fellow Scions when the Final Days are dealt with. ... His reignited logical side probably knows that Final Days aren't the best time for mischief...

OctransFur thing out of the way. Azem!Dusky just needs shading and then he'll be done~ Took the background image and got all the colors (and seam lines) done already~ Would show this progress, but I'm saving that for when I officially post the finished products~

Just as a reminder. No stream on Friday. Today's stream was meant to take the place of that stream. If it didn't happen, Friday would still be on the table. Since it did happen though, the next livestream is on Saturday.

Ok. Full confirmation now, going to have supper then do a livestream... Although, first things first, I'm going to need to bring the garbage out as soon as I'm back home from the gas station. After all that, FF14 livestream.

This PHP think practically caused a monkey paw moment for me. Although FF14 is pretty much still usable for me despite the maintenance... The PHP mess straight up put Pokémon Sleep in maintenance mode. Haven't opened up the game yet, but was about to before finding out via Discord that I can't.

Or more accurately, seeing if there's any texts from parents after work seeing if they're heading home or not. ... That's honestly the main Schrodinger's Stream thing going on here. I do not know if the stream happens until I check texts after work, for until then stream is in flux.

Well, technically also supper, but the only flux thing there would be what's FOR supper. If parents aren't heading home, I plan on getting something from the gas station after work. But if they are heading home, it's probably Subway (and no livestream from me until the usual Friday stream).

Discord is still working, but the whole PHP maintenance is going to throw off my daily schedule a bit as I usually open up Sleep AFTER work on workdays... On the other hand, this makes livestream happen a bit earlier as all I have to do is get supper... After checking text messages...

So, along with other cases of this, definitely not affected by this as other console players seem to be unaffected by this maintenance... Albeit, it's likely completely new console players might still be affected by it, but so far the day one players aren't affected by it.

As far as I can tell, I'm not affected by the New Login suspension going on currently for FF14. So on that end, the livestream for today is still happening. ... Still, will know more after work. If family is still and grandma's, livestream. If family is heading home, no livestream.

Anyways, updated the Lamia glamour again... Also, just showing the Azem!Dusky glamour (not adding it to selection pool for glamour options on stream... Yet) for reference as to what I'll be using for Azem!Dusky outfit colors.

(Some minor context, family went to grandma's today. Although because I have work today, I had to stay at home today. Hence the reasoning for why I might do a livestream today after supper. Pretty much no interruptions possible.)

Will state that no matter what day it happens on, the next FF14 livestream will need to be around 2 hours. Literally the only thing I can go with due to the time constraints of both possible streams days for it. Wednesday because close to bed time, Friday because of appointments.

Ok... Not going to attempt that anymore. Apparently failing the Outfoxed fate on the first go RESETS THE ENTIRE FATE CHAIN. So, just going to settle for doing the wonderous tales and hope to get at least 2 lines eventually so I can get the fox ears that way.

Sidenote for anyone that was watching live. Though I have a PCT glamour set up in the glamour selections... It's not being made a redeem option yet as I'm planning on adding the redeem once I acquire the artifact armor version of the PCT gear. Current PCT glamour selection is just a placeholder.
