Description My last Omniart contest entry. With this, I'll either win gold, silver or bronze, and with all of them I'll be happy. We were asked to create a scene from a game and give it elements of a real-life musical with a similar scene. This is The Dance in Final Fantasy 8 with a heavy influence of the masquerade ball in Phantom of the Opera. Starring Rinoa as Christine, Squall as Raoul, and Seifer as the Phantom.

Since its a marble floor there could be a bit of a reflection. That would really bring this pic to life

Great job

ljinx In reply to ??? [2006-01-27 19:10:10 +0000 UTC]

This is an excellent piece, I really love the dresses and the shading done on the folds, especially on the peach dress! The dance floor could perhaps do with some background participants in the dance to fill the room, but I understand that you had time restraints set on this, so no problem.

Again, I wonder at your use of the palette!

*gasp* This is gorgeous, and oooooh formal squall! ^^ But methinks Rinoa's ear may be a bit askew... other than that looks awesome!

You're very right about Rinoa's ear. Took me a few seconds to figure it out. Thanks for the critique.

This is beyond lovely! This is amazing. Your clothing textures are perfect, and I love the ringlets the girl behind Squall has (so cute ^^). I love the way you get the hair effect too... very nice. The entire picture just works so well together... Beautifully done! I never finished FF8, but I love the style of that game, and I LOVE the Phantom of the Opera Ok, enough rambling! ^^

If you dont' mind my critiscm.. There's one thing that's kinda peeving me out about this picture... There's no flow in any of the poses.... I like it a lot though otherwise, very detailed coloring.

This is a -really- nice drawing. I hope you win. The characters make me want to play FF8 (i actually only played one FF and it was the very crummy FF1 for nes).

I never seen PotO, but I want to... I really like Rinoa's dress though I think I would never wear it.
The dance poses came out well.

wow, that's really cool, I've never seen the phantom, but I really like thier costumes, and that was like one of my favorite scenes in FF8, really cool portrayal of it. Squall looks so dreamy, heeh, I love him in that outfit, and Rinoa is so pretty in pink, lol.
