#af adventures

I made more AFs! These are for Astrologian, Geomancer, and Arithmetician. 

When I made the AST gear, I wanted something to look like an old Greek toga, with lots of drapes, but in the traditional colors of the Astrolgian. I noticed that AST gear tends to have a Travelers kind of aethestic, but I was thinking “Ancient Sharlayan.” The Headpiece is gold leaves. 

The AST Model is Lady Cassiopeia d’Argent. 

I looked at Geomancer gear from FFXI and then pictures of onmyoji. I know they’re sort of elementalist, but I used the geomancer orange from FFXI as the base and then the other gear is sort of a ying-yang like theme. The left sleeve is hanging from the belt, so the bell ringing hand/casting arm is free for full range movement. The “hand slot” puts a tattoo on the arm.

The GEO Model is Jasper aka Wayward Son. 

The Arithmetician AF was the hardest so far. There’s only really been one Arithmetician outfit so far, and it was hard for me to really feel the aethestic of it. A big apron? I looked at Korean outfits for awhile, then I tried looking at Renassiance and Golden Era Islamic outfits, but eventually I settled for sort of a Renassiance workshop/crafter look, with a big bottom apron, Ren-era shoes and pants, and then engineering gadgets. 

The MATH Model is Sid aka Clockwork Exarch

The next set is Black Mage and Thaumaturge. These are fun :D

Seeing the Endwalker AFs made me want to design my own!

This is my version of a Dark Knight AF armor. I thought up a story when I was making this of the Warrior of Light joining the Fortemp brothers in solving a mystery that the other High Houses and Tribunal of Ishgard were overlooking for political reasons. The Warrior of Light has to don the armor of House Fortemps, but instead of it looking shiny and knightly, it looks dark and somber. 

In my mind, the armor still reflects passion and a sense of family and love. The helmet is suppose to be a unicorn horn.

The model is Zi’eskil Orl!

Seeing the Endwalker AFs made me want to design my own. It’s been pretty fun. But I’m starting to add new job classes…

For Machinist, I went with a steampunk sapper look. It seems like the style is going more cowboy, but I liked the earlier designs which were more dapper. I tried to keep the red embellishment with the thread and knot.

The model is Carver Dread from the Coerthas Southern Lowlands. 

I wish musketeer was a real job. There’s a guild for it stll and everything! I created a pirate-y look for them, and added the green hood, because I imagine them being in cahoots with the Dutiful Sisters. The models are Aegir Hlerson and Vath Onion Knight. 

I’d like to do a Corsair AF, but I think I drew myself into a corner here, since they also have a pirate-y look… The next one I’m working on is the Dark Knight AF.
