With the discharge of Last Fantasy XIV Dawntrail simply across the nook, the social media crew for FFXIV (lovingly often known as Tweetingway inside the group) has requested gamers to submit their Pictomancer-themed art work. There are some actually wonderful entries, but additionally a worrying quantity of paint-eating. 

Fortunately, the times of Radion paint are lengthy behind us and unlikely to make a re-appearance as a part of the Pictomancer’s primary rotation. Nonetheless, certainly Eorzean paint isn’t one of the best on your digestion.

Gamers have been submitting their art work of their droves utilizing the hashtag #PaintYourPicto, and whereas their talent is inarguable, there’s something of a worrying pattern working by a number of the art work shared — consuming the paint. 

Now, as a miniature painter, I can affirm that generally, simply generally, paint will get consumed fully by chance. Dipping your brush into your drink that you simply’ve stupidly put just a little too near your paint water, by chance ingesting mentioned paint water by mistake, and even licking your brush to sharpen the purpose earlier than rinsing it off fully are all methods by which I’ve consumed paint. 

This was identified within the feedback, with folks reiterating the brush-licking level and others who went so far as to say that Nuln Oil is ‘too yummy’ (which I can’t get behind as a result of Nuln Oil is valuable and much too simply spilled).

Others requested some extremely acceptable questions akin to “is the paint fit for human consumption if it’s made out of Aether?” and when Sq. Enix is planning to drop the “/eatpaint” emote. Additionally, I can’t end this with out noting my favourite submission utilizing the #PaintYourPicto up to now:

I believe nearly all of us can relate.
