Way back in, like, September or something, the very amazing fishbirdthing @Wobblegong was doin' a little cheeping about a Character Expression Practice sheet they made five-ish years ago. I thought this was really interesting! Specifically, I wanted to see what something like this might look within FFXIV because I hadn't seen it done before.

So, that late September-ish night, I downloaded the sheet. I did a single facial expression, put it down for the night, and didn't touch it again.

Until now!

As part of an extended push to improve at my craft, I spent a night and a morning experimenting with these different expressions and walked away having learned quite a bit! Given that this is a 10+ year-old face model created for a fuckin' PS3-era MMO that breaks at the softest touch of a woman (the woman in this case being me poking around with Brio), I am actually really happy with how well these came out! :D

I threw a bunch of full res versions of these under the cut here too! If you'd like to try and fill this out, the link is here! Please leave some love for Wobbles as well! I had so much fun with this!
