Description My entry for "Tragedy"contest

Kuja in this contest must be one of tragedy characters.
And I thought quite long what he could be.... thought thought... and I decided to chose my previous idea
As you see he's Hamlet (who don't know then what can I saygo to library and take Shakespeare's the most awesome work "Hamlet" and read it....NOW!!!!)

Course it's only my opinion but Kuja is similar with Hamlet,they both was confused, intelligent, phillosophic, controversial and very vengeful.


Read this piece of "Hamlet"it will explain my decision

"To be or not to be– that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep
No more – and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to – ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’ oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.—Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered."

Whattttt. It's awesome. How do you do all those effects, traditionally
Hmm, the yellow light on the hair and face.The brush-stroke-like textures on the moon.

TRADITIONALLY, BY HAND(okay im a traditional art noob XD)

Oh wow this drawing looks great. Love the colors in it.

For some reason i can imagine Zorn and Thorn as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern too.

Yeah, of course, I'm sorry ...was too overwhelmed yesterday XD
I love the whole composition: the way Kuja looks vengeful, but still as beautiful as always; I adore the background - the landscape of Terra and Garland give the picture such a deep meaning, and, what makes it all look so wonderful, are the amazing colours!
