Description I'm not completely satisfied with his right eye though this is the best I could do. The perspective is just very difficult and was a real challenge. Hope you like it anyway.

I wonder what he is thinking though...

I think... That he's missing Squall because he's on a mission and has been away too long. And Squall gave him Griever to promise his return. XD Yup yup. At least,.... its a guess.

Oh definitely. It would just be so...cute. Especially Squall's reaction to the fact this cute, adorkable, fuckwit (and I say that in the most loving way) if his father.

*quiet gasp*

Oh, Ruthie. It's LOVELY! The gentle curve of his neck and the tilt along the arm, the composition is beautiful. And his face - don't worry about the right eye, it's fine. You barely notice its even there, much less that there could possibly anything wrong with it. (which I don't see) The smooth light and shadows really soften his face and draw out the eyes...

And you have to be the only person I've ever met who could make an armpit look elegent.

The shine on the metal manages to be even more seamless than the face, emphasising the realistic metal appearance. The lined background focuses on the soft motion in the figure while at the same time bringing notice to the parallell line in the griever pendent chain.

The curl bang ending just far enough from the scar to be disconnected, but just close enough it connects the eye, it wonderful, not to mention the shiny goodness of his hair.

Much as I love my Shivas, I think you've made me a new favorite.

*winks*

As for what he's thinking, I'll get to work for you on that.

thanks for this great comment. I do put a lot of thinking into my pics and some things you said had been very important to me during the working process. It is nice people notice them

I had to look up the word "armpit" hahaha

Usually I try to avoid to draw things like that - like you said these body parts aren't very aesthetic and I'm such fanatic when it comes to things like that.

Well, the parts that ain't pretty are so hard to make anatomically correct ANYWHO that when you make them both accurate and appealing, I must celebrate! *eats lots of chocolate*

I doubt an artist is ever satisfied with his or her own work. That's what keeps us going.
I'm glad it isn't as obvious as I feared.

Oh I wish this would be true. The problem is most of the time we are too close to our own work that we cannot see our own mistakes. That's what reviewer are for

That's why I prefer to draw pics for already existing stories. Then I could say why he looks the way he does.
But maybe someone gets inspired...

Thanks so much

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

oberin In reply to CrossSword [2007-10-13 20:35:38 +0000 UTC]

*wibbles* is an expression where a person is in a state of becoming emotionally overwhelmed--often followed by a silence because the individual is unable to find the words to speak properly

It can sometimes be described like:
1. The eyebrows come together and curve up at the inside.
2. The eyes become big and childlike
3. The lips and sometimes the chin shake.

Think of it as when a character becomes chibi in anime and manga, they go small and their eyes are super huge and cute.


oh i do love it!! very very much!

He looks very cool! Seems he is preoccupied with thoughts and a little bit sad...

CrossSword In reply to ElvenGrace [2007-10-13 14:40:43 +0000 UTC]

well it's his rival Seifer though the necklace belongs Squall.

I'm glad the expression displays the way I want him to look. Thank you!

Yeah) sure... it's Seifer.... he just reminded me of Squall, regardless of the colour of his hair... Maybe because of his look and the necklace
But nevertheless I do like him))

Poor Seifer, he looks like he lost his lion. I almost feel like crying for him. Don't worry about the eye, it looks fine. If you change it you might lose that "I'm lost" look.

about the right eye.... no biggie.

maybe it could be more hidden (farther back)

any pose other than front and profile are hard to draw

very cool

Yeah why do people have to be so difficult to draw. On the other hand - if it was easy it wouldn't be a challenge anymore.
