26 year old Pokémon and Furry Artist. Mostly casual art but might sometimes share transformation art. That and I'm a Twitch Affiliate that usually livestreams on Tuesdays and Fridays (and Saturdays if FF14 is involved). Extremely FF14 coded nowadays.

OctransFur Day 27: Lesson Note to Self: Hopping between worlds can be really disorienting... Can actually say this now, let's just say that my WoL ain't even the WoL of the 14th. He's practically a traveler from a completely different world whose curiosity is both a curse and a boon. #octransfur

Since I've decided to get back to it at some point. Made the white mage icon for the personal pizza pepperoni art this time. Although, currently focusing on the for fun Red Mage class. But once that's done, I'm going to try to fully level up white mage via duty support.

Mainly plan on leveling up white mage because I feel like doing all the role quests in game. Which means I also need do play a tank (gunbreaker... Duty support for that as well...) and ranged physical DPS (machinist, will do duty finder where possible for that one) eventually.

My take on Azem (or Azem!Dusky as I'll call it) from FF14. Though being extremely helpful and explorative, this Amaurotine has both a mischievous and logical streak in terms of personality. He's well known for pulling multiple pranks and, when alone, usually transformed into a fox when mischievous.

As a further note, thinking of adding the Azem look to the glamour options on stream now. Think in game thought is that it'll basically be Dusky when he absolutely enters LB mode. Calling upon Azem's full capabilities so to speak. Meaning that story wise, this look is EXTREMELY rare.

Continuation of this, might swap back to the Azem look for the rest of Elpis. Feel like offscreen, the memories would've kicked in. Although, Dusky is definitely going to be slightly mischievous and wear the Azem look when returning to the Scions.

Some further lore, it's highly likely that FF14 Dusky will have likely "remembered" his unsunderred life as Azem while in Elpis. Meaning that the Scions are going to end up with a FF14 Dusky with Azem!Dusky's personality when he eventually returns from his information searching trip to Elpis.

Basically meaning that after Elpis, FF14 Dusky will be much more mischievous than normal. Highly likely he may playfully tease/mess with his fellow Scions when the Final Days are dealt with. ... His reignited logical side probably knows that Final Days aren't the best time for mischief...

OctransFur thing out of the way. Azem!Dusky just needs shading and then he'll be done~ Took the background image and got all the colors (and seam lines) done already~ Would show this progress, but I'm saving that for when I officially post the finished products~

Just as a reminder. No stream on Friday. Today's stream was meant to take the place of that stream. If it didn't happen, Friday would still be on the table. Since it did happen though, the next livestream is on Saturday.

Ok. Full confirmation now, going to have supper then do a livestream... Although, first things first, I'm going to need to bring the garbage out as soon as I'm back home from the gas station. After all that, FF14 livestream.

This PHP think practically caused a monkey paw moment for me. Although FF14 is pretty much still usable for me despite the maintenance... The PHP mess straight up put Pokémon Sleep in maintenance mode. Haven't opened up the game yet, but was about to before finding out via Discord that I can't.

Or more accurately, seeing if there's any texts from parents after work seeing if they're heading home or not. ... That's honestly the main Schrodinger's Stream thing going on here. I do not know if the stream happens until I check texts after work, for until then stream is in flux.

Well, technically also supper, but the only flux thing there would be what's FOR supper. If parents aren't heading home, I plan on getting something from the gas station after work. But if they are heading home, it's probably Subway (and no livestream from me until the usual Friday stream).

Discord is still working, but the whole PHP maintenance is going to throw off my daily schedule a bit as I usually open up Sleep AFTER work on workdays... On the other hand, this makes livestream happen a bit earlier as all I have to do is get supper... After checking text messages...

So, along with other cases of this, definitely not affected by this as other console players seem to be unaffected by this maintenance... Albeit, it's likely completely new console players might still be affected by it, but so far the day one players aren't affected by it.

As far as I can tell, I'm not affected by the New Login suspension going on currently for FF14. So on that end, the livestream for today is still happening. ... Still, will know more after work. If family is still and grandma's, livestream. If family is heading home, no livestream.

Anyways, updated the Lamia glamour again... Also, just showing the Azem!Dusky glamour (not adding it to selection pool for glamour options on stream... Yet) for reference as to what I'll be using for Azem!Dusky outfit colors.

(Some minor context, family went to grandma's today. Although because I have work today, I had to stay at home today. Hence the reasoning for why I might do a livestream today after supper. Pretty much no interruptions possible.)

Will state that no matter what day it happens on, the next FF14 livestream will need to be around 2 hours. Literally the only thing I can go with due to the time constraints of both possible streams days for it. Wednesday because close to bed time, Friday because of appointments.

Ok... Not going to attempt that anymore. Apparently failing the Outfoxed fate on the first go RESETS THE ENTIRE FATE CHAIN. So, just going to settle for doing the wonderous tales and hope to get at least 2 lines eventually so I can get the fox ears that way.

Sidenote for anyone that was watching live. Though I have a PCT glamour set up in the glamour selections... It's not being made a redeem option yet as I'm planning on adding the redeem once I acquire the artifact armor version of the PCT gear. Current PCT glamour selection is just a placeholder.

Art wise, feel like making my interpretation of Azem next... (Which will basically just be Dusky, but as Azem... Look, I'm more skilled in furry animals. If I did something close to a human there, best result there would be an Animal Crossing Villager as Azem...)

(Also like to think Azem sensed the arrival of Dusky due to quantum based senses, but just (luckily) didn't want to investigate out of laziness. Imagine the slight confusion seeing two of the same person in the same clothes if Azem actually WAS there.)

(Albeit, in regards to Dusky, he's still wearing his mage hat. So there's at least one definitive tell for who's who if that meeting happened. Albeit, the whole quantum senses of both may be a very good reason to keep them separate because of quantum sense feedback loop...)

(Although in reflection, funnily enough, I guess in that aspect, my WoL version of Dusky would be the CLOSEST to being a perfect match to what my version of Azem was like when they were unsundered. Guys literally both eventually turned themselves into foxes.)

(Further thought, it's probably even funnier considering that in main story currently, the WoL Dusky is probably wearing an exact copy of Azem's clothes in order to blend in. Meaning there's 2 Azems running around in more ways than one in the current main story area.)

(... Feel like the art there needs to be less cartoony. So it's better to do a furry fox Azem. Guess the logic here could be that he decided to use his creation magic to make himself an anthro fox. Literally the only way I could explain my version of Azem.)

If it's an early stream, 10 A.M. Central will be the end time no matter what. Otherwise it'll most likely be moved to Sunday. Reasoning is that there's both a 11 A.M. doctor appointment and scheduled haircut appointment around 2 P.M. on Friday this week.
