Self-care can be a new soap or scent themed after your favorite games and characters... or it can be deliciously indulgent art and animation of your beloved OCs. Who am I to decide? All I know is both things are great ways to make your days a little brighter, and all the better when you can share that work with fellow fans. But to know more on that, you'll just have to read my interviews with CHOKKOmiilk and Bunnalien!
Part 1 of the September XIVFMN spotlights are two wonderful examples of finding support in community. Whether it's the creative duo team of Erie Craft Collective, or FaeLich Studio finding a home in the friends they've made in XIV, today's interviews touch on how community plays such a large role in creators' artistic journeys.
The art in Part 1 of the August XIVFMN feature column is perhaps some of the most vibrant yet. 7marichan7 and fuzzyren's works burst with color and expressiveness, and their interviews explore the vibrancy that brings their art to life.
Whether creating from close and deep within oneself, or exploring far-off places one might never see, to create what brings oneself joy is truest goal for any artist. And despite having two very different art styles, "joy" is a constant theme in the works of both Kannter Art and The Ludens Atlas in part one of our July 2025 interviews!
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!
