Description
Behold my first venture into digital illustrating. Please excuse it's retardedness, I've not a graphics tablet and am self taught at Photoshop (would you believe I couldn't find the Paint Bucket tool?). Several fuckin' layers later, it's done. Cid's skin tone seems too dark; I was after buff tanned, not salon disaster tanned. And I went out of the line a couple of times; never was good at colouring in even as a kid. Well, shit. A non-coloured version is in the Scraps section.Smoko is the local lingo for 'break time' here. I don't think Shera smokes, but I wanted her to look cool. And I love drawing men's anatomy, hence Cid's shirt is off.

This is great! I'm sure there's a paint bucket in photoshop. I'm pretty sure I used it a few times 
Anyway, to the pic - I really like the shading on Shera's clothes, and again I'm envying your arm drawing.

Very awesome for first time in photo shop! (there is no paint bucket! I hate them for that. Figure I'd tell you instead of you spending a year looking for it like I did.) Line work is clean as always! (you are a god!) and Shera's very cool.
haha, I love how people still get the image of people being cool just because they smoke. Though it does bring back memories of our Cloud, Aeris and Sephiroth at 'The Reactor' [anime convention] all going outside for a smoke break and aeris decided to take a pic of every one of our final fantasy cosplayers holding ciggeretts. "this is how we get the stigma!", I suppose in a way though the entire smoking thing still does radiate cool.
Can you believe that the only person that wasnt in our picture was Cid! Oh My GOD! (he was apperantly not avaliable at the time, haha!)

Cheers mate! I found out where the paintbucket tool is: it's merged with the gradient tool. Click and hold down on the gradient button until it becomes the paintbucket too.
Lol, yeh that silly image of smoking just to look cool. I admit that was me at some stage. *d'oh*

XD OMG! there's actaully a paint bucket! :throws a fit: OMG! I love you forever!
yeah!we all go through the smoking is cool phase when we are younger. I honestly don't think it's as bad as people make it look. There are way worse things that people could do. And Cid does it so it can't be that bad right? (XD haha)

First time? Man, that is awesome! I don't have a tablet either, so I'm not even going to digital color again until I do (I tried, and failed miserably). This is awesome! Maybe Shera does smoke, as she's gotta be so used to it being in the air with Cid around lol! And he, of course, looks yummy as usual!

Thank you! Yeh, I can't wait until I get a tablet either. Using the Lasso tool makes my eyes bleed. -_-;

Oh my God. That's really good for a first time in photoshop. You have the patience of a God... or possibly the patience of a Shera. Both work, I think, in what I'm trying to... uh... convey. Heh, Cid's just been spending too much time out on the beaches of Costa Del Sol... or whatever that place's called. I love the way you did the cigarette smoke.

Thanks, but I actually think the cigarette smoke looks odd!
'Patience of Shera', LOL!
