Description
Took me a long time lol, but heres my recent FF fan-art, depicting Yuna from Final Fantasy X performing "The sending" an act that summoners such as Yuna herself do to send away pyreflies ( those pretty glowing spirits, which may be loosly based on one of Japans ancient traditions involving free spirits depicted as fireflies ) in order to let them go to their final resting place, if not, then the beauties can potentially grow jealous of the living, and turn into more irratating enemies that caused me to drop out of the game ( yeah, I'm pathetic, hopefully this here makes up for it lol ).Once again, like most of my fan-art, it was referenced from a small, low-quality screenshot from a video lol, some may recognise this scene from the game too, the pose, angle and sunset lighting in this exact frame made for a dramatic and beautiful scene I just had to draw, even though I knew it would be hard
Oh, and before you start cheering on how I learned to make custom watermarks, I havn't, this version just has it saved on the actaul image, which is no problem as fan-art can't be sold as prints anyway 
I got a similar themed fan-art with Rikku too [link]

This came out gorgeous, good job! There is a lot of movement in this frame, can really tell that she's spinning/dancing :3

Thanks, getting "movement" was probably one of the most critical things here, glad it showed up clearly

Lol, I havn't played much either. I wouldn't call myself a "die-hard fan" but it's fun to draw it once in a while

Lol, well I've always been a kid at heart, some look down on such people, but guys like me are exactly where childrens books and cartoons come from

That's a CG PAINTING?! When I was looking at it I thought I was looking at a 3D render. That takes skills, man. I mean, the shading is perfect for suggesting dimension and dramatic lighting, even with a ref, and all the details keep me looking to see just what else is there. Great job.

Thankyou very much, Landscapes are all I know how to do in 3D, so when drawing characters, I try to get them as 3D-looking as possible, the maximum amount of realism I can get

Whoah man. o__O; You're the second person today on my watchlist who submitted a FF pic of Yuna.
This is incredible stuff man. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, yeah, that is a coincidence, especially considering Yuna has much less people drawing Fan-art of her than more popular Final Fantasy characters *cough Cloud COUGH* Thanks a lot for commenting

XD Wow, I had no idea.
And no prob man--keep up the great work!

Wow, it's amazing!
The hair and water and everything... just amazing!
I first thought that it was a screenshot but when I read you're comments I realized that you had made it by yourself! How can you do something this real looking? I could never ever do it! I really admire you
I guess it took veeeeeeery long time

Wait, fanart can't be sold as prints? But don't people do that all the time at cons and stuff? O-o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They can sell their Fan-art at conventions and such, and do commissions too. But people here aren't allowed to submit their fan-art deviations as prints 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But it's not illegal to sell them outside of conventions and commissions, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In most cases - no, it's not. Most game companies are so massive and rich that they wouldn't care about someone selling a print of one of their characters for a "massive" 40 bucks

Okay, I get it. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

u made this look really awsome! i love the magical swirls, ur so good at those! bot i do have to say the proportion is a bit wonky, but i know u dont do ppl as much so its ok, practice makes perfect! and nobody is pefect anyway. i like the rikku one too!

There probably are some flaws I missed, though the main of it was based from a screenshot ( which was kinda hard to look at as is, it was small and very low-quality lol ) there were also some areas "extended" beyond the limits of the screenshot which I made up myself, just so I wasn't just limited to what I saw
Thanks for commenting though, and yes, practice does make perfect especially when you compare this fan-art to my oldest ones

You're welcome. I got past Sin and thought oh I'm done. Yay! Well, no, there are more bosses to defeat to ensure that Sin doesn't come back. Or...something like that.
