Description I drew this piece with Prismacolor Pencils about 3 years ago.
It looks like hell here, please forgive me; It's on HUGE 24 x 36in. paper, and I had to scan it in about 20 sections, then paste it back together.
It's one of my favorite pieces ever. ^^ I'm really proud of it.
In the original, she's casting a magic spell with a hot pink flare effect, but it didn't look right in the scan. If I ever figure out how to add lens flare in Photoshop, I'll put it back in. I messed up a bit in the shading of the green obi tied around her waist, but it's not too noticeable.
Her name comes from the kanji on her outfit, which means "Storm."
Inpired from the first image of Yuna from FFX that I'd ever seen.

10/11/05 [Edit]: Finally managed to take a digital photo, fix the brightness and contrast in Photoshop a bit, and even got her magic spell in there. Go me.

yeah. i can see a couple references to yuna i this... the one that stood out was the armbands... yeah, you can see where you pieced it together, but if anyone complains about it, may they be stuffed in a box and shipped to abu dhabi...

Oh my gosh! I wish I could draw like that! Prisma colors rock! ^_^; Though, I am very bad with them. It is very pretty. The arm things look like Yunas from FF-X!
