A Dancer’s Life For Me
Though he's been through more than his fair share of tragedy and misery, Rabrandt's life is far from all doom and gloom. There is joy to be found in becoming a Warrior of Light. It could be said that Eoreza has saved him as much as...
Pushing One’s Limits
The life of an adventurer isn't always fraught with excitement and peril, not even for a Champion of Eorzea. There will always be downtime, either when work dries up or there's a need to decompress from the heartache that comes with the job. And yet, that's...
Rabrandt of the Red
Another one of Rabrandt's many disciplines is that of the Red Mage. Though more specialized casters are able to wield powerful magicks, drawing aether from the land around them, the Red Mage must utilize their body's own internal supply of aetheric energy. To compensate for each...
The Fencing Lesson
The story that goes with the piece from LittleBadWolf back in May of 2021 is intended to be a supplement to the original trio of stories that depict Enigma learning how to use a sword. Since Edmund is an athlete and street brawler who is...
The Methodology of Volpes
This piece from Marsel-Defender back in May of 2021 was the perfect compliment to a short story I had already intended to write for Volpes. I had already said in broad strokes that he manipulates people into drinking his potion, and once they do they're...
Pyromancy?
It was such a simple principle that both mentor and student were astonished they hadn't come up with it before. One need not necessarily be a true pyromancer in order to make use of fire. Through the controlled application of his powers, Edmund could simulate the...
Just Another Game
This piece from LittleBadWolf back in April of 2021 was perfect to illustrate an idea for a lightly comedic short story. In works of fiction, one of the most common forms of shorthand to represent that a character is intelligent is to make them good at...
Rabrandt, Eorzean Ninja (Card)
Taking the art that LittleBadWolf drew of my FF XIV Ninja, I created this. At the time, one of my favorite Commander decks was helmed by Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow. (I still have it, but I don't bring it out frequently because of its reputation.)...
Rabrandt, Eorzean Ninja
Like many Warriors of Light, Rabrandt is a man of many talents, particularly in the theater of war. While the power of the Dark Knight will always be one he holds close, it is far from his only discipline. Sometimes, there is a need for a...
The Birth of a Savior
This YCH from Marsel-Defender, back in March of 2021, came at the perfect time for me. I had already been outlining something the story of how one seemingly innocuous fox could become Volpes, and this pose and scene was perfect to illustrate that story. A wry...
