All of the FFXIV soul crystals and some stones from real life that could serve as their analogues!

Special thanks to @robboybot for lending me his awesome rock knowledge to help with this!

i'm cleaning my images folder at work. time to post it again because i'm too lazy to find the original post i made this for

gpose trick that i've never seen anyone mention!

maybe it's common knowledge, but maybe not, and i figured it out independently so i'm gonna share!!!

we've got these emotes like /vexed, that come with these extra visual effects, right? and they're very nice visual effects. but maybe they're not what you're going for. unfortunately, if you pause motion, it pauses too, and you can't get a clean shot without it.

but!!!!!!! if you use the deep freeze effect, the extra visual effects don't freeze. so you can wait it out for a couple seconds, unfreeze yourself, and voila!

pause motion and you've got a clean shot!

other emotes i can confirm it works with (i'm sure there are even more) include /consider, /wow, /frighten, /gratuity, /allsaintscharm, and /loveheart !!!

sometimes i think about Hyth and Venat trashing on the ladon lord concept (serpent boss) in Ktisis Hyperboreia while Laha has statues of these things standing at the gates of Pandaemonium

Teary Eyes Posing Tutorial

So I've been desperate to replicate the teary eye effect we see in cutscenes (mostly Tataru unleashing her LB3 on WoLs) and all similar questions I've seen on the crime tool discords are met with the same "can't be done, photoshop it" line of answers if any. So if you have zero photoshopping skills like me and want a fix of that sweet angst, here's a quick way to fake it in-game directly while gposing:

(Requires very basic Anamnesis or Brio experience)

-

(You might want this to be the last step after you're done posing your character, since you'll be dealing with a hand prop.)

Equip this prop to both your main and offhand, by typing in the numbers: 9072, 1, 1. and click below them to "show weapon."

2. Now since they're tiny little droplets, they'll be hard to see, so I suggest you click on the weapon bone in your preferred posing mode and scale them up to around 5. Raising the z value (3rd one) slightly higher makes the droplets rounder and easier to work with. And if the size doesn't change for some reason, try scaling the root or abdomen bone instead of the weapon bone.

3. Shove that thing up your eye (lovingly). It helps if you rotate each droplet sideways so that its shape matches that of your eye. (smaller tip toward your inner eye corner, large tip toward the outer corner)

4. Now the fun part! You can do this several ways: If you want the full-on LB3-level brimming-with-tears effect like Tataru's, just keep tweaking the scale of the droplet til it's about the size of your eye and position it just over the whole eye, tweaking and rotating until it fits perfectly inside your eyelids without clipping out, et voila.

The LB2 level: Another (more realistic?) way would be to lower the droplets to have them "well up" around your lower eyelids:

LB1 level: Or you can simply lay the droplets at their original size at the outer corners of your eyes for a "threatening to turn on the waterworks but can be assuaged with cake" effect

Bonus tips for extra realism:

- As with most other things, best to avoid symmetry

- Mix & match shapes & sizes

- The more dramatic your lighting the more dramatic they'll look

If you try this please show me. Angst gives me life thankyou.

I have this one "OC" that does not yet have a name that I've drawn several times for a couple years. I was thinking that if I tried making them in FFXIV that I'd use elezen as a base... but then I remembered what other race have their near exact hairstyle... and now I'm like damn... I played myself...
