Spent my time while my power was out just drawing a concept for Zenos' (and possibly Durante's) ancient counterpart.

Known as the 'cynical madman' that lived on the fringes of Amaurot, Dionysus came to the capital alongside his childhood friend, who he held in unwavering regard and was the only one he'd listen to without question. He served readily as Azem's protector, and often held the line when back-up needed to be called, or helped bear the weight of the times Azem needed to make tough calls or action.

#ffxiv #concept #sketch #digital art #ancients #ffxiv spoilers #just in case lol #dionysus #emet selch #azem #apollo #hythlodaeus #themis #wow finally character tags #I had to make the man who wont stop soliloquizing's counterpart the god of theatre #I had to #and yes that is azem behind dion in the bottom right picture #theyre indulgent with each other and it gives hades the worst headaches #he lived in the moment and always tried to make sure the role apollo took wouldn't burden him too much #and was very- -very- afraid of the standard of the convocation dying after their role was considered fulfilled #he never really wanted to bear the thought of apollo dying before him even if it was willingly #i have so much to say about this concept and I cant without making it a novel ;-;#not shown is Dion having an armament- he does indeed wield things other than the pillar hammer #which I'll also settle on the transformation design eventually but it just intrigues me that both Zenos and Durante have winged forms #adventurer zenos is just gonna get a twinge now and then feeling like he's somehow offended an ancestor #and its dion somewhere deep in his soul wanting to beat the hell out of him for being a jackass
