New graphics, who 'dis? - Goblin edition

Last installment with all my Goblin kids, they are the nest batch in my altaholic addiction and overall the new graphics are I think going to treat them well. I've also found after talking to several friends that the 'crystal' default setting in the creator isn't kind to ANYONE.

New on the left, old on the right.

L'devah Fhey - looks the same, if only a bit older.

Troy Maerten - I LOVE IT. He actually looks more like the half elezen that he's supposed to be.

Duq Tribeless - All my dark skinned kids are looking SO MUCH BETTER.

Edelweiss Journey - She looks good, the same. Won't really need any changes.

Clematis Journey - Edel's sibling. I've never gotten him to look the way I want him to, until now. He might need some tweaking just to see what the options look like but otherwise yaaay.

Blu Dalmasca - I think the crystal lighting just isn't nice to him here. I'll have to see if he needs any changes under different lighting.

Garaav Nioremont - Overall I like it. some small changes might be needed but it will take getting him into the actual game to see.

Blilly Lee Black - He's one I could never get to look right, but also the only character not a complete OC. Difficult with someone based on a character from another game, but I think he might actually finally look the way I want him to be with the new graphics. Also even as accurate as this hair is.... I think it needs to change, all I can think of when I see it is fucking Asahi...

FFXIVWrite2021 - Prompt 2 - Aberrant

Duq knew he didn’t belong there. He didn’t belong with any of them. Even as a child while all the others in his tribe, fell right into place with what they were named and how they were told they should be, Duq felt that it was all just wrong. 

He wasn’t afraid to tell his family that either. His parents told him to be patient, he would learn in time. His sister however, called him a weirdo and a traitor to their ways and due to her personality, so did many of the others their age in the tribe.  

Duq didn’t really argue with them much. He didn’t mind being left out. They could follow their chosen life paths like the sheep that they herded. He wanted to find his own way in the world and didn’t want others to tell him how he should live.  

When his parents passed away in battle, he left. There was nothing there for him any more. His sister made sure of that. Duq felt that he was old enough to take care of himself at that point. He hadn’t quite reached adulthood, but it wasn’t far off and there were probably other tribes that suited him better. Would let him be free to do as he pleased. 

There really wasn’t though. 

He traveled the Steppe for many years, going between what tribes he could (those that were actually friendly to outsiders at least) and all of them had their set way in the world. He didn’t believe himself better than all the others as the Oronir did. That and if they found out his origins they wouldn’t have accepted him. The Buduga were too far under the Oronir’s heel as well. He didn’t have any real affinity for horses, wasn’t interested in being any part of a harem, was shite at domestic work, refused to shun all women, liked to talk, couldn’t swim really well, and certainly didn’t want the gods dictating what he did every day. 

He was as strange to them as they were to him and he knew he needed to leave. Working a few odd jobs around Reunion, he gathered enough coin to pay the tithe across the Ruby Sea. At least out there he had a better chance of being free.
