If you like little guys, this series of interviews is for you. Today we're admiring little guy keychains by Deckitout, little guy emotes by IgnisKat, and little guy plushies by Steelfeather Workshop - but even if little guys aren't your thing, this month's featured artists have plenty of other art and insights for our June interview series.
Vimimi and Sanglunaria are both careful crafters of their respective art forms, which couldn't be more different styles - digital vtubing and animations, or physical creations that re-interpret some of XIV's most iconic designs in tangible form - with new and interesting projects always on the horizon.
Whether you like precise and detailed pixel art, or prefer a more exaggerated and expressive style, Part 1 of the May 2025 interviews with Banishedpixels and SpookyKlauser will certainly have art to catch your eye alongside the artists' wonderful insights into their work!
In part two of our interviews with the April featured creators of the XIV Fan Merch Network, artists Gogomi and Purple Elf Fiber Arts reflect on the different kinds of art they have created throughout their time in the XIV fandom - and what they hope to create in the future!
