Haunted Radiance is complete! A tribute to Dion Lesage from FFXVI and another attempt at carrying over a character's design into the XIV space. The undyed appearance is Dion's look and the dye channels are set up for a generic high-fantasy vibe. Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A thumbnail preview showcasing my latest mashup outfit, Haunted Radiance. It is inspired by Dion Lesage from Final Fantasy XVI. It pulls from his original design's style with elements of chainmail, lots of layered flowy cloth, and ornate pieces of armored plate.

Mashup guy that doesn't post about his mashups: here's one vague wip ok see you next month (to the tune of @dvdexe's post on OCs)

A work in progress post showcasing an outfit mashup I'm currently working on. It is inspired by Dion Lesage from Final Fantasy XVI. It pulls from his original design's style with elements of chainmail, lots of layered flowy cloth, and ornate pieces of armored plate. I tried to stay true and also include some asymmetry even though its also trying to be very neat/clean.

Fatebreaker is complete! A tribute to the GoW reboots and a attempt at carrying over a characer's design into the XIV space. It also fits in with some of the high fantasy outfits I was making before my hiatus. Its good to be back! :) Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A hyur poses with his bow wearing an ensemble of fur, cloth, and leather, which is adorned with many belts and trinkets. Bits of chain mail peek through parts of his outfit, and he has a metal pauldron on one shoulder. The style of his garb is heavily influenced by the character design of Atreus from GoW: Ragnarok. This is a new mashup outfit by yours truly available on Heliosphere and Ko-fi.

I'm sorry that I've been stuck in low power mode for a while. I lost access to my creative parts after being retraumatized. It was challenging to process everything I needed to without a creative outlet. It seems my creative parts returned after going on two adventures with a kid and his dad. 🤍

I see a diamond pattern and I think of a particular guy. Edited the index file of the new Cozy Cardigan as a treat to myself, but am releasing it so you can use it, too! [The Howl-inspired mashup is available through this listing but its a bit messy and won't be on Heliosphere] Ko-fi | #bkmods

This thumbnail showcases another texture edit I've done for the index of the new Cozy Valentione's Cardigan, the recent event outfit from XIV. This version has been edited to omit the heart patterns at the top of the cardigan. The cartigan with this new edit has been colorset to resemble Howl's coat form Howl's Moving Castle. There is a rough mashup included that is Howl-inspired, featuring an opened collared shirt, and his pendant necklace, which is a gold chain featuring a sapphire pendant with a ruby accent.

I finally got Corvid Vagabond moved over to Heliosphere! Its still one of my favorite outfits I've mashed up even though I don't have a single OC that uses it. I'm very behind on moving outfits over from ko-fi, but I'm gonna try to do at least one a week. 🤝 Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A thumbnail showcasing an outfit mashup recently uploaded to Heliosphere, Corvid Vagabond. It is a roguish outfit of black, silver, and gray elements of leather, velvet, metal and feathers. There's a lot of green-blue highlights to the outfit to reflect the way a raven's feathers reflects in the sunlight. There's many blades and weapons scattered across the outfit as well. It has corvid/raven vibes with lots of feathers adorning the shoulder pauldrons and trailing off the back of the jacket.

The Casual Ranger is a private c/mm I have been given permission to showcase! A lot of love and learning went into this! I'm also proud of this one since its baby's first upscale to TBSE. Thank you, Quill! 🤍 #bkwips | Ko-fi

A turnaround of a recent outfit mashup commission titled The Casual Ranger. Its a loosely fitted v-neck shirt tucked into a green cloth wrap around the waist. Toggle options include a variety of belts, satchels, bags, vials, potions and some boot knives and shin guards. There's also an assortment of bracers that can be switched out.

Recently edited the id .dds for the Island Resort Shirt to completely remove the floral patterns and now you can use it, too! Ko-fi | #bkmods

This preview shows the Island Resort Top, a v-neck and side-tied shirt from FFXIV's Island Sanctuary, without its customary floral design. This is a texture edit of the id .dss to completely remove the design making a clean, base shirt for everyone to use!

Brittle@brittle· Dec 15

Derusting with... whatever this is?? Sometimes my brain makes something so out of my usual style even I scratch my head a bit. Shortened the Makai Sun Guide top into a jacket with a cheeky little chest wrap side peek. Won't make it out before the patch, but will get it out asap! Sorry!😔 #bkwips

A new outfit WIP that is very... we'll say Brute Bomber coded with a tough of mad max and/or biker gear. It features a black vest which has the sides of it cut away to reveal a linen-wrapped torso and some belts and chains. The vest also has red-brown leather accents and belts both across the chest and around the waist. A large swath of fur sits atop the shoulders. Leather pants with chains and spiked knee and shin guards tuck into fur-lined ankle boots with steel toes and red-brown belts around the ankle and arch of the boot. Asymmetric gloves are a hand wrapping similar to the chest wrap on the right hand, and chain bracelets and rings on the left.

I've been really fortunate to commission some art of my OC! They are by: @lazypotaterz.bsky.social @voidcrest.bsky.social @sarenstone.com (I hope it is okay to tag each of you, I am eternally grateful you took my commission back when and want to share your art with everyone!)🤍

This commissioned artwork features my WoL, Merrill, in their Shadowbringers-era Dark Knight outfit, which is a mix of cloth, leather, and plate with their arm outstretched. Like a mirror, Ardbert has his hand raised to meet theirs. Shadowbringers meant a lot to me, and this piece means a lot to me, too!

A commissioned art of Merrill, capturing their silent nature but strong gaze expertly, so much of Merrill's personality coming through in this portrait. They are wearing a mashup I made for them, which is a mix of plate and cloth, and in the background is iconic Ishgard architecture and a swooping dragon.

I return from a health hiatus with a simple but elegant dress for Starlight! There's multiple toggles to fine tune the look of the dress, and when the holiday season is over, you can toggle off the Starlight decorations to have a nice dress for the rest of the year! Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A newly released vanilla mashup for FFXIV which is a simple but elegant dress. The main part of the dress is a cream colored cloth and it has a green velvet sleeved vest with gold embroidery along the edges. There's a red velvet bow at the neckline as well as bows on each shoulder which drapes to the back of the dress and terminates in another bow with ribbons that trail the length of the dress. The dress is holiday-themed with a green present box with bold and silver embellishments and a red ribbon linked to the gold belt around the waist, and a cute bunch of holly berries and leaves sitting atop the main bow on the chest.

Brittle@brittle· Aug 4

Received! Thank you for letting me know. Will investigate/address this and update when tools are back up following 7.3.

Dragonhead Drover is complete! Another entry into the town clothes series with woodsy witchy vibes suitable for forager, shepherd or trader characters and BTN/ALC/BLM jobs! This cozy layered look features a few toggles, asymmetrical boots, and many belts. Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A newly released mashup outfit which is a heavily layered cloth and leather look which is a mix between medieval, fantasy, and cottagecore vibes. There's a textured off-white long tunic with a leather vest over a crochet skirt. The leather vest parts to reveals a light blue doublet with silver filigree, and the outfit is topped off with a dark blue pelerine, a light blue scarf, and a copious amount of belts. Patterned leather pants tuck into asymmetrical boots where one is cuffed and goes up to the knee and has a blue cloth wrap which tucks into a flared ankle boot, and the other boot has a greige long sock which starts under the knee, is held up by a belt, and tucks into the another flared ankle boot.

Another day, another town clothes mashup busting out of "simple design" containment because I was WEAK and gave in to the clutter. 😩 Need to clean weights and textures but soon tm #bkwips

The same top is featured from the parent post, but this time there's added pants and boots! The pants are unedited Ivalician Sky Pirate's pants. They tuck into asymmetrical boots where one is cuffed and goes up to the knee and has a blue cloth wrap which tucks into a flared ankle boot, and the other boot has a greige long sock which starts under the knee, is held up by a belt, and tucks into the another flared ankle boot.

Brittle@brittle· Jul 29

Its this fella! It does so much heavy lifting with its amazing linen-y look when dyed/colorset, mirrorable sleeves, skirt/tunic ruffles and layered sash. Its such a great piece to work with! ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearset/asph...

Brittle@brittle· Jul 29

I will find any and every excuse to put the Crystarium Healing belt in a mashup. #bkwips

A work in progress screenshot of an upcoming mashup outfit which is a heavily layered cloth and leather look which is a mix between medieval, fantasy, and cottagecore vibes.

Twilight Rogue is complete! This outfit is another c/mm I was given permission to release... Thank you, JPopps! Made for a character that uses a Toph-inspired combination of earth magic and unarmed strikes. Its a moody mix of plate and leather for brawlers and tanks! Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A thumbnail which shows off my latest mod titled Twilight Rogue which is a vanilla mashup outfit for masc midlander bodies. The outfit is a mix of plate and padded leather which has high fantasy vibes. Its suitable for tanks and brawler types as it has a armorered yet primal look to it. The color scheme is a mix of black, silver, and a dusky steel blue.

Brittle@brittle· Jul 27

Relic Hunter is complete! This outfit is a c/mm I was given permission to release... Thank you, Niko! Made for a character that has a combat style similar to a battlemage. A mix of plate, leather and cloth which could suit many jobs. New thumbnail style, too! :3 Heliosphere | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A thumbnail which shows off my latest mod titled Relic Hunter which is a vanilla mashup outfit for masc midlander bodies. The outfit is a mix of plate, cloth and leather which has high fantasy vibes. The color scheme is a mix of red, silver, gold and brown.

Brittle@brittle· Jul 6

The Verdant Knight is a private c/mm I have been given permission to showcase! All of these various looks are created by flipping certain toggles and are all contained within the base four items. This was an intensely challenging and fun project. Thank you, Quill! ♥ #bkwips | Ko-Fi

Multiple outfits which suit a Ranger-Paladin type character, with lots of leather, cloth, belts and even armor. Multiple outfits are created within the same mashup by using toggles to enable multiple parts together, each combination making something new.

Brittle@brittle· Jul 4

Greensward Garb is complete! I tried to keep it simple this time by imposing a material limit on myself so I wouldn't go and overcomplicate things like I usually do. The pants for this outfit are pretty fun, I hope you enjoy them. :3 #bkmods | Heliosphere | Ko-fi

A town clothes mashup featuring a long sleeveless tunic over a brown shirt belted at the waist with many, many belts. A blue hooded capelet adorns the shoulders, and leather wraps wind around the wrists, thighs and shins.

Brittle@brittle· Jul 3

I tried to get this one packed up before maintenance but alas 😞 I'll have it out asap! #bkwips

Brittle@brittle· Jul 1

Wanted to show off the amazing gpose @leolunari.bsky.social made for my mod pages/bsky! Leo did an incredible job and took extra care to ensure the banners cropped from it would be perfect. I love it so much 😭

Merrill stands under the gate in Foundation, with the city of Ishgard busy with the day to day in the background. A flock of birds takes flight around Merrill and there's some snow vfx making it all feel extra cozy.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 30

I am terrible at social media and gpose both but I sure do love making vanilla mashups! These are but a few of the 40+ I've made over the many months.🤍

This picture shows four outfits which are vanilla mashups which were made by me! The first two are a bit more dapper, with corsets and frilly shirts and a heavy Ishgard lean, the next two are more high fantasy in style with a sort of gritty adventurer look.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 26

Danneroad Merchant is complete! Another "town clothes" mashup which uses a lot of the Neo-Ishgard pieces to (hopefully) deliver that fantasy vibe. I stared at the yellow upload button on heliosphere for like 20 minutes before I felt brave enough to press it. Helios | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A new vanilla mashup which is a layered, casual, high fantasy outfit which leans toward being suited for a wandering merchant. A cloak overlays a linen tunic, which is belted over leather armor which has a billowy undershirt. It has bracers on each wrist and belts for all sorts of bags and pouches.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 24

This was an attempt to make simple "town clothes" and my brain was like, but BELTS and BRACERS and CAPES and BAGS and CHAINS AND BOOTS WITHIN BOOTS. [Cue thunderclap, mad scientist laughter.] I'll pack it up for release and try again. 😭 #bkwips

A new mashup, which is a casual fantasy outfit (or the attempt at one) with many layers of cloth and leather combined with a cape and plenty of belts.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 22

Earth's Chosen is complete! This one was a fun exercise in adopting an existing design and making a mashup which translated it into the "vanilla" style (not sure what else to call it tbh). Lots of love went into cleaning up the Nezha coat. Ko-Fi | #bkmods

This mashup is inspired by Jin Mori from God of High School which is a Korean manhwa. It features a gold-lined black jacket which is cropped at the waist and arms over a plain tank top. Around the waist is a combination of a tied black jacket, some fur, and a red sash. Baggy blue pants are rolled up at the knee to reveal linen-wrapped shins, which fit into red modern sneakers. For gloves, there's short leather gloves with more linen wrappings which extend from knuckles to elbow, with mala beads on each wrist.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 20

This mashup was absolutely the most fun and challenging c/mm I've had yet. Channeled some of my love for character design to bring this look to life in a way that fit within the vanilla style. I've been allowed to release this one, so I'm packing it up now. Thank you, Raxoid! Ko-Fi | #bkwips

Newest outfit is inspired by Jin Mori from God of High School which is a Korean manhwa. It takes elements from several of his outfits to make one unified look. It features a gold-lined black jacket which is cropped at the waist and arms over a tank top. Around the waist is a combination of a tied black jacket, some fur, and a red sash. Pants are rolled up at the knee to show linen-wrapped shins, which fit into red modern sneakers. For gloves, there's short leather gloves with more linen wrappings which extend from knuckles to elbow, with mala beads on each wrist.

I've defeated the bag shadows on the Neo Kingdom Tunic of Scouting! Please utilize these in your mashups/mods! 🤍 I FAFO'd my way to victory but if a guide for removing shadows doesn't exist I'd be happy to make one. Ko-Fi | #bkmods

Brittle@brittle· Jun 13

Relentless Cuirass is complete! A mix of Forlorn Armor (DS2) vibes and Cainhurst Armor (Bloodborne) vibes. Had lots of fun figuring out a way to get the dye patterns to retain the dusty/worn/ragged look. Ko-Fi | #bkmods

Merrill poses in a soulsborne-inspired mashup which combines tattered cloth with worn armor. It features a lot of black steel with silver and gold accents, and a ragged black cape with a red interior.

Brittle@brittle· Jun 13

Latest mashup is a love letter to the Cainhurst armor from Bloodborne and apparently the Troian Healing belt 🙃 Once this is done I'll be focusing on migrating some mods over to Heliosphere :) Ko-Fi | #bkwips
