What I really love about Kain, is that he honors his friendships more than his desires. He loves Rosa, but he loves more the happiness of his friends more than his own. He already knew that Rosa wouldn't never love him, he knew that they wouldn't be nothing more than friends.

Love this one so much ;__;
Especially Kains 'mane' (xD) and adorable Cecils sleeping face
And sooooo true, I guess Kain loves Cecil a lot, although he knows he'll never get Rosa, because of him.
Aaaaaww, poor Kain, he'll never get what he deserves.
Always being the second must be depressing

Heh.... You know cannonly speaking... neither of them are gay, and shipping for them to go gay is just spitting in the writer's face. I hate this every time to males that are even relatively attractive exist in the same universe the fangirls gotta have 'em gay for each other.

I do find it strange when two characters end up 'shipped together' with no or little canonical basis.

As for FF4, I was very moved by Kain's guilt at betraying Cecil and Rosa and his subsequent attempts to redeem himself. No, it was not written as a romantic kind of love. But I thought it was clear enough that the writer meant for Kain to care for Cecil as much as he cared for Rosa. That it would have been a very ordinary and boring case of 'old friends turned enemies over a woman' if Kain had ever thought his friendship with Cecil worth less than his pursuit of Rosa.

Also since I certainly have no intention of being so rude as to spit in your face, I will respect your opinion by making it a point never to ship any of your characters together if they are not canonly in love with one another!

I lovelove their faces in this, and the draping of Kain's hair is just gorgeous and I'm not sure why. But the faces...mostly I love the faces. And the coloring.

So sad Kain really loves Cecil. Kain's expression pretty much expresses how heartbroken he looks.

It's impossible to say what I love most about this picture...the colouring...the expressions...or the hair. XD

Personally, I don't really mind whether the armour looks different than in the concept art. It tends to give pictures a more original impression! I love it!

(I'm also glad that someone finally depicts the relation between these two, without all the Rosa-related drama)
And I must agree with other comments, Kain's hair looks just PERFECT O_O

I read your webcomic, fanatically in fact. I check it at least once a week. It's good to see you here on DA with the rest of us.

Chewymunch [2010-06-07 07:32:45 +0000 UTC]

I love the way you colored this. The looseness of the coloring really makes this picture shine.

Kain's expression is so powerful. It shows concern and sadness. I just can explain how lovely it is.

Cecil looks kind of adorable. ^^

Their poses are just perfect and the way Kain's hair cascades down is just beautiful.

Great job!! (fav)

hhhwei In reply to Chewymunch [2010-06-09 23:09:00 +0000 UTC]

thank you so much

haha I think throughout their lives Kain probably felt anxious for Cecil all the time (Cecil probably tried to do a lot of brave but dangerous things)

it's strange, I normally dislike very good / noble characters, but I really love Cecil who has no evil at all in him
