I may as well make my commission opening official. Please refer to the carrd linked above for more information As stated in my previous rambly post, I’m mostly on twitter now, so messaging me here may not be the best!

Open Commissions

I am open for commissions, I recently redid my website, so might as well make it official. I have some new offerings as well. (Including vtuber models!)

No current slot limits, as I’ve been off the map a while and unsure interest levels. I’ll update if that changes. All information is located on my site below, I’ll also drop a new sample down there:

If you need to contact me, it’s best to do so through the means listed on my site above. I don’t check tumblr as much as I used to. I look forward to working with you <3

Update

Been a little while I feel eh? 

Mostly rambling and where I feel mentally under the cut to save y’all. But long story short, I’ve been feeling really disconnected recently, from both tumblr, art, and FFXIV in general. I want to get out of this headspace, but not sure how just yet.

I’m finding it increasingly harder to focus on tumblr anymore. The changes to the site that make it look like ass, aside, I just… feel like it’s so empty these days? Or maybe I’m just outside of too many circles now. 

The XIV RP community feels different now, or again, maybe it’s me. I’m too old, I guess. I haven’t really RP’d in ages I feel, save for some stuff with close friends in Discord, not even in game. I can’t find a FC. It’s either I feel I don’t fit personally, or my characters don’t. I’m beginning to think it’s impossible to find what I’m looking for/need out of a RP group. Even RP aside, I find myself more often than not logging in and doing stuff alone, which triggers several days of me not even desiring to log in at all. 

But… I don’t really have another game I feel I want to play either. And it’s certainly not that I want to give up on XIV, but I’m beginning to feel the same feeling I did in the final days of my RP ‘career’ on Aion (god that was so long ago). Has the XIV sphere really changed that much? I feel so lost.

I’m beginning to feel like I won’t find what I’m looking for unless I run the FC myself. But that’s such a huge undertaking and at the same time I feel I don’t have much to offer anyway. I’m just… craving the type of RP that focuses on character growth and story. A small group of like-minded people who consistently grow together, whether through big plot or just… repeated interaction, I dunno.

I did dig up my old twitter, finally putting it to use. When I stopped focusing on tumblr, I tried my hand at doing art for another fandom. Part of the reason I haven’t really advertised it here is, well, I assumed everyone who followed me here would really only be interested in XIV content. But I’ll be honest and say… I’m kinda tired of only doing art for one fandom, one game, whatever. I admittedly don’t really know much about twitter, nor how to balance creating interest in my art if it’s not singularly focused but. I’d like to try.

I really do need to do commissions. I’m still not in the greatest living situation and that money kept me afloat and kept my family off my back. I even made a new commission site and everything. I taught myself how to make Vtuber models recently, trying to tap into that market. But I’ve been gun-shy in advertising. Because I have… no real followers over on twitter and again, I feel that anyone left over here followed me for a specific type of content.

I just feel so disconnected lately, with everything. Watching streamers play co-op games with their friends, etc. I’m like, shit, I want to do that. Man maybe I’m just lonely, imagine that.

Ah well. If you read all this rambling and are curious, you can go peek at my twitter. I warn you, there’s not much there, and the stuff that is has no relation to XIV at all. Though I have considered reposting some of my old art over there. If you want to take a peek at my new commission site, it is also linked over there, though again, I haven’t begun to advertise. So I guess I consider myself… semi-open for them? A secret? Kinda?

The Glass Consortium - RP FC

Recruitment is officially OPEN! - TGC Carrd Here!

The Glass Consortium is on the Crystal Data Center, Balmung – but please do not be deterred! There are CWLS slots open! As it stands we are freely recruiting members–but our goal is to keep the FC itself rather small and close-knit, so this window may not be open for very long. Alongside our recruitment for FC members–be they academic or otherwise–we’re seeking out allies/rivals/enemies in groups or other Free Companies as well, to share in our storylines! We’d love to sit down and plot sometime! If there are any questions in regards to what we are looking for, or if your character will fit in our roster, please feel free to reach out here on tumblr or through discord (Raya#1663) and I’d be happy to help! …….. for now, please enjoy the carrd though it does get a tad wordy–and uh… the roster section is still being developed so please be patient with us!

Whelp.

Doing a Durarara!! Meme/draw-over/whatever has been in the back of my head rattling around for years. Actual years. I used to see tons of people doing it on Youtube a while back. But, as I was going over my character roster pre-Endwalker, it came up again. I finally had an excuse with the EXACT number of active RP characters in my roster, and having them fit relatively well in each pose.

Is it perfect? Pft no, but did I dust off my old editing skills and have a bit of fun seeing all my babies together? You bet. And it’s a nice celebration pre-patch.

If you want to watch the original Durarara ED 1 for reference, I’d recommend it, it’s catchy as hell and is a classic. Or if you want to see more about my characters you see here, check out my roster carrd!!

ONWARDS TO ENDWALKER

Those headshot quickie commissions I picked up! Thank you all for the support <3

All full for now. If I finish them up with enough time before patch drop maybe I’ll pick up a couple more <3

Hey I’m looking to take a few quickie commissions! Similar to size and style above (about 500x500). These headshots are $30 and I’m looking to do like, 4-5 depending on interest. 

This is all I’m offering atm, cause I want things that have quick turnarounds before Endwalker drops. 

If you’re interested please send me an email at hithrenart@gmail.com, I’ll reblog once I’m full up. Payment via Paypal upfront only.
