Belated Happy New Year everyone! Sorry for no posts during December, Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker expansion had (and still has) gotten hold of me since November.

Why The 'Spartan' Approach To Art Doesn't Actually Work

Supplementary #4 (Loomis: Drawing Other Races)
Supplementary #4 (Loomis: Drawing Other Races)
