#misede's art

I wonder who we'll get if they continue adding the little hidden friends in the lookout missions for Dawntrail?

[misedejem]

Misede has five (four older adopted siblings, one younger half-sibling) so too many to put in the tags . Three sisters who she is very close to, and two brothers who she isn’t so close to.

The youngest of her adopted siblings is Leanna Redwold (Lea), who is only a week older than Mise, and the birth daughter of Sifrid and Alys - the highlander couple who ran the orphanage in East End. She and Mise grew up in tandem due to their age, and were always extremely close as a result. Lea is an artistic sort, and specialises in crafting - making clothes being her favoured specialty, and painting and drawing being a past-time she loves. When the sisters separated, sent matching outfits she made in the hopes that when they reunited, they’d be dressed the same for a laugh. She’s the most sociable of the group (and the most romantic despite also being hopeless at dating), and while she likes to travel as her parents did, she finds herself deeply missing the people she left behind, and has mountains of letters to friends and linkpearls to rival Alphinaud’s collection. Her dearest friends are a group of fellow artisans, led by a childhood friend from Gyr Abania, and together they ended up travelling to lend their craft to people caught in combat with the Garleans. They were in Rhalgr’s Reach when the Scions arrived to help, and their group ended up becoming a reliable ally for their organisation - mostly due to her dear sister being their Warrior of Light. Lea recently picked up the art of Pictomancy, and now travels Ilsabard and Aldenard with her artisan colleagues and older brother, helping with reconstruction efforts following the Final Days.

Two years older than them is U’denyb Shtah, who goes by the alias Sienna Vega. She was five years old when she joined the family, rescued from her birth mother’s mistreatment when Sifrid came across her during a trip to Southern Thanalan. Sienna is eccentric and carefree, an adventurous soul who once spent multiple school days trying to teach the entire conjurer’s guild how to make moogle noises instead of learning. She has a keen interest in what lies beyond her world, keen to learn not only about the way of life for others on Etheirys, but also the worlds outside of it, and is the one who accidentally got the four sisters into a pact with a Voidsent. She’s also Warrior of Light in all but name, travelling the East for ten years to solve problems for the people, and even blessed with a Crystal of Light and the Echo - which she awoke to alongside Misede as they witnessed the Calamity. Despite her carefree exterior, she’s actually quite a worrier, and she was the one who insisted that Misede go on the adventure that led to her joining the Scions, when it became apparent that she was quickly losing herself in her research of dark magic. Sienna is an astrologian-in-training now, studying in Ishgard while helping in the efforts to find the other Warriors of Light from Carteneau after discovering that her close friend - Meteor - was one of them.

Konoe Yuki is the eldest of the four sisters, and different in that she was not raised by Sifrid and Alys. She had managed to flee Doma to Eorzea after her parents and younger brother had been killed by the Garleans, which is where she found Mise, Lea, and Sienna, who had just watched their father’s murder and narrowly escaped the same fate. A shaken conversation led to them wondering if they could find a way to save their departed loved ones, and from then on they were united in their shared goal and their grief, and Konoe was adopted into the family as an older sister - being fifteen and therefore slightly more experienced than the others. They spent so much time together that often they forgot Konoe was not from East End too, and many times would she have to remind them to elaborate on a memory because she was not actually there. She is the most studious of the four, and after the family split to follow their own paths she ended up studying alchemy in Thavnair, which is where she met her wife Marjan and found her field of study - the soul and the aetherial sea. She’s currently researching this subject in Sharlayan, and due to Misede’s… connections, her most recent academic obsession is gleaning everything she can about life after death from the Ancients themselves.

The eldest of Sifrid and Alys’ children is J’mikoh Tia, who was the son of their adventuring companion and childhood friend J’emlih, who died protecting his friends on the road when Garlean soldiers attacked (which is a whole other story and a big Thing). Mikoh was magically inclined and spent a lot of time in Alys’ company, even beginning to learn the basics of her rare school of magic before her death alongside her fellow Red Mages. Unlike his sisters and father, he wasn’t one for travel, so never quite understood the bond they forged when they’d leave East End to visit the surrounding villages and vistas. When their home fell to Garlemald and the villagers fled, Mikoh was unable to escape and eventually ended up serving the imperial army as a conscript, a Signifier in the IIIrd legion. He and his sisters figured they would never see each other again, but he was among the tempered soldiers who fought the Ilsabard Contingent, and received treatment under their care. It was in the aftermath of the Final Days, when Lea’s group came to Garlemald to help, that they were reunited, but things were shaky between him and his sisters due to being enemies for so long. They are trying to reconnect now, but it will take some time.

Misede’s half-brother is Mallont de Mortchenaint, now lord of a Ishgardian noble household. He is her birth father’s son who is five years her junior. Misede did not even know she was Ishgardian until she was twenty-nine (three years after the end of the Dragonsong War), much less that she had a brother there, so she and Mallont do not know each other that well, but her first impression was positive. He’s the earnest type who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, and spent much of his time going against his father’s wishes and helping the people of his city to survive, particularly in the wake of the Calamity and the eternal frost it brought. When Misede came to Ishgard to find her father and make him pay for her mother’s murder, Mallont agreed to help despite knowing it would change his own life drastically and put him as head of his house despite his young age - even before he learned that his mother, too, had died by their father’s hand - killed for suspecting him of having an affair. In repayment for his kindness, Misede made sure to personally introduce him to her friends of the High Houses, as well as to Aymeric, in the hopes that the burdens on his inexperienced shoulders would be lessened as he learned the ropes of his newfound Lordship.

Does your wol(oc) have any siblings? What is the relationship like?

Bravely art collab 2020?

I got an email about this blog a few days ago (it’s four years old guys) and remembered this used to be a thing~ It’s been a while since the last one, but I polled a few people on othher platforms and there seems to be some interest. We’ve got a new game due out, so if people are down to participate in a new collab then I’d be happy to set one up again~

The last time I did this was 2017, so a quick reminder if you’re interested:

We’d all choose a theme (e.g. cosplay, beachwear, or no theme if that’s preferable), and everybody participating would claim a character. Then you’d draw the character to fit the theme, and the drawings would be put together into one group picture. The previous ones are on this blog if you want an example~

If you’d be interested in bringing this back, let me know here or on twitter/discord, and if enough people want to take part, we’ll start discussing a theme~~

Emet-Selch will say he wants to be alone and then bring Hythlodaeus along with him

[misedejem]

The new Valentione's emote is going to be what I use at the end of every ktisis run from now on to show my appreciation for Hythlodaeus

[misedejem]

Thinking about the ancient trio being the absolutely inseperable unit we know them as since childhood and crying a little

[misedejem]

A garden, a sky, and a man

[misedejem]

Azem's favourite little DPS :3

I drew Hyth's bow a while back for another piece, but I ended up having to cut most of it, so I've been looking for an excuse to use the rest of the drawing ever since~

Individuals under the cut:

[misedejem]

Some say Emet-Selch prefers to work with music. After all, there would never have been a quiet moment, living with someone like Hythlodaeus.

[misedejem]

I found an old doodle of Hyth that I never posted

[misedejem]

Some seasonally appropriate hythades~ Hades complaining about the cold at every opportunity he gets is the most relatable thing honestly

I tried a different style for the shading on the clothes here, I think it's a bit closer to my painting style :3

[misedejem]

Having any sort of ‘Emet-Selch is still around after Endwalker’ headcanon or AU makes the results of some of Dawntrail’s revelations quite interesting

[misedejem]

You can sit on the roof of the Bureau of the Architect in Amaurot, and I like to think these guys might have done that as well long ago

[misedejem]

Thinking more about Ascian!Azem and what would happen if everything was the same, but Emet was Sundered in her place

Right before she died in canon, Kassandra's future sight showed her the Endsinger: the WoL defeating her and bringing the threat of the Final Days to a close. If she was Unsundered, she would retain that knowledge, and that would become her drive.

I wonder who the WoL could be a shard of, if Azem escapes the Sundering? :3

[misedejem]

I wanted to go back to some brushes and shading techniques I hadn't used in a while, feat. Hyth

It was a lot of fun actually, I might use more painterly brushes for lines etc. more often

[misedejem]

[hands u a little hythemet doodle]

Hythlodaeus isn't allowed in the convocation chamber anymore because this kind of thing was becoming too common in there
