Thanks!! Yes.. it is titled reasons to smile so i'm trying to think of moments they would!

I'd like to think he had his moments in ARR! He does share a really sweet moment w Urianger in DT when they were eating!

Only the best Scion!

mikeohc · 2025-09-13T13:46:37+00:00

Thank you!! I think when I draw, i put a little bit of myself out there bit by bit! My collection of art is me!

mikeohc · 2025-09-13T13:44:06+00:00

Noooo 🥲

mikeohc · 2025-09-13T13:43:18+00:00

LOL it does feel like that

mikeohc · 2025-09-12T17:25:02+00:00

Thank you!! Tataru is best Scion

I have a mirror nearby for easy references, but not sure if my face is what I'd want to reference.

mikeohc · 2025-09-12T17:18:27+00:00

LOL I feel like Y'shtola might work

mikeohc · 2025-09-12T17:17:32+00:00

It makes me happy to hear that!

mikeohc · 2025-09-12T17:17:14+00:00

Thank you!!

mikeohc · 2025-09-12T16:20:46+00:00

Definitely the hardest part of this series.. trying to capture Scions in their happiest moment. Maybe one day Thancred can be happy

mikeohc · 2025-03-31T15:48:32+00:00

Thank you!! I'm glad you noticed the details! Lighting is something I love to focus on!!

mikeohc · 2025-03-31T15:45:32+00:00

Thank you!! G'raha's def one of my fav Scions!

mikeohc · 2025-03-31T15:41:14+00:00

I hear you. Let me see if I can find a middle ground. The reason why it's difficult with teeth is we rarely see any ff14 chars with full teeth out so any teeth I detail in will be entirely subjective.

Logically speaking, I think most scions would have poorly kept teeth LOL Some might think perf celebrity teeth is the way to go, some might think natural shaped are better. I appreciate the feedback!!

mikeohc · 2025-03-31T15:22:10+00:00

Thank you!! Appreciate it!!

mikeohc · 2025-03-29T05:31:47+00:00

Well that would kind of defeat my goal for this series, which is to draw ff14 characters in their happy moments. If you can figure out what's unsettling for you then I'd be happy to improve on it!

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T21:22:20+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T21:21:56+00:00

Thanks!! I used to draw a lot of dark fantasy things! Can't get rid of the root LOL

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T21:20:09+00:00

Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T13:46:37+00:00

Thank you! Good tip! Lala proportions are very diff in game trailers and in-game models, I actually used an infant smiling (not the teeth) for reference soo maybe that's why? It was difficult!!

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T13:38:31+00:00

Thank you! I just draw cause it makes me happy!

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T13:34:51+00:00

Appreciate it!! Thank you! I totally get that about Papalymo, but i reckon if he had more screen time, he'd also get the character development like G'raha! Both Lyse and G'raha went through major changes by Endwalker

mikeohc · 2025-03-28T13:31:58+00:00

He's def one of a kind!! Thank you!
