  • Having talked to a bunch of people and seen this talked about ad ad nauseum, I think it's safe to say a majority of players think what happened was disgraceful on the part of those who carried it out. There's a reason why org theft is considered one…
  • Just going to chime in a bit here as someone that's been tangentially involved in the current goings on and kind of been watching from the sidelines.

    Is shrine defiling annoying and horrible for everyone involved? Yes. It sucks. But at th…
  • (Quote) Funnily enough, this was not the commission I was requested to do (that one is still being worked on). This is what I doodled as concept work for the commission I was working on. >.>
  • I actually went and tested this a few weeks back just out of curiosity. You CAN inguild someone that is in a city that's not your guild's home city. In this case, I inguilded someone from Enorian into the Sentaari. However, with the nature of guilds…
  • (Quote) Some orders have style scrolls. I did the ones for Slyphe's order, but they're more water-elemented than anything else. >.>

    On my wish list of things? More NPC villages with their own unique events/celebrations. 
  • Small art dump here.

    First! Sticker version of Cole from my previous post.


    And then a genderbent version of in Drawings of Aetolia Comment by Phoenecia February 2018
  • Giving this a bump since I've been drawing a little more lately and my commission list has been whittled down. I'm also on Twitch now! I've updated the first post with all the new info. in Phoe art commissions Comment by Phoenecia January 2018
  • Finally managed to finish some art after being so busy over December and part of January. Cowboy knight - Cole!


  • I love creative contests like these whether it's the crafting contests, Iron Epicurean, the ice sculpture contest, and now the cultural exhibit. The latter two were especially fun and challenging because it required you to think a lot more about wha…
  • I've been finding it really hard to get into the holiday spirit, especially the last few weeks. 

    My husband has been obsessing over his blood sugar levels and blood pressure since the hospital doctors diagnosed him with diabetes back at t…
  • (Quote) This is actually a bit of a flawed belief because if you'll look at the Aetolia Development section, particularly the topic on Grecht lore, ALL OF THAT is canon. However, because the Celani in charge of all that info stepped down, none of …
  • Husband isn't diabetic, which is a huge relief. Been tracking blood pressure and blood sugar for the past couple of weeks and he's been within normal ranges.

    I've also lost a bunch of weight since doing some dietary changes a few weeks ag…

  • Just to clarify: for each subject an NPC can talk about, there are five 'slots'. So does that mean we can split up their little speech amongst multiple says/emotes?
  • I have a similar question. Much of Duiran is tied to Dendara. A lot of Dendara stuff glows fey green. But going by crafting rules, once you take something magical out of its natural environment, it's not magical anymore. Can we have Dendara stuff be…
  • More medical stress. Yay. 

    Was visiting my parents yesterday and discovered that my dad has been taking medication for diabetes, or rather, for preventing diabetes. My grandmother had diabetes. My dad might possibly develop it. What this …
  • Been working on some art commissions while I've been on vacation.

    And Kadal: in Drawings of Aetolia Comment by Phoenecia November 2017
  • So. Update on the thing going on with my sister and her 'writing assignments'. I talked to her. She was utterly mortified about me reading some of the more personal writing pieces. Like. Intimately personal. As in, knowing exactly when she started d…
  • This isn't a mad or anything, but more of an 'oh god what have I gotten myself into'.

    My younger sister asked me to read and critique some stuff for her creative writing class, which actually prompted me to start writing again too. I ask…
  • I dunno about most people, but I had little to no problem finding out things were going on. Granted, there were city news posts updating people on what was going on, and when there were global messages and shouts marking the event conclusion, people…
  • A few days ago, my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and we had planned on taking a little vacation for a few days. Unfortunately, we had to cut our vacation short. My husband woke me up really early in the morning and had seve…
  • Most cities will only release stone for purchase a little bit at a time, and the reality is most people end up having to stockpile stone slowly over time.
  • Finished another commission. Rijetta + doggo. Animals are actually kinda hard to draw, but I am quite happy with this.
  • Finally finished a Benedicto commish I had been sitting on for a while. (Yes, I'm still doing these).



    And yes. He is doing the Captain Morgan …
  • Decided to draw something vaguely Halloween-y, and since some people keep comparing Phoe to a bee, I drew her in a very loose interpretation of a bee costume. Also took the opportunity to mess around with some brushes.


    in Drawings of Aetolia Comment by Phoenecia October 2017
  • I don't think anyone is implying that race, culture, and ethnicity should be all lumped into the same category. It just so happens that those things tend to come hand in hand. The discussion here is about expanding racial lore (origin …
  • I had more thoughts on this. In regards to NPC villages, I would like to see things that would make them feel more 'alive'. This can be anywhere from atmospheric messages describing carts rolling by on their way to deliver goods to the local stores,…
  • I could go on and on about NPC village and racial culture forever as that's one of my favorite aspects of the game to think about, having studied a lot of sociology and anthropology. There are snippets here and there that are enough to imply a given…
  • I'mma just leave this Rijetta sticker here. >_>

    Figuring out how to best make the scythe look misty was tricky.


  • Double post, but finished another sticker commish for @Kasimir.


  • Been practicing my painting skillz and trying to remember some old techniques I had forgotten about.
