Description This is a picture for my lovely granddaughter ~

EUGH. I got so annoyed at this pic. ^^ Because I'd almost finished it when I opened it one day and the FILE WAS CORRUPTED. So I had to re-colour the whole thing in a couple of days. ^^

Anyways.

Uwa~~~ my first artwork that will be published in some form! * *! has made a doujinshi, and this will feature in it as a guest pic. ^^ Thank you so much granddaughter for letting me be in this! ;o; ~ When the doujin is available to purchase, I’ll advertise the details here. ^^

Anyways, about the pic. Black and white was the requirement, and this is the first serious black and white pic I have ever attempted. The theme was Final Fantasy X or X-2. References were used for the poses and the buildings because I wanted it to look as good as possible. O_O. Yuna’s costume is a mixture of X and X-2, because I thought her X weapon would look better in the pic. Also, I prefer her X costume, but thought the picture would look horrible with the many folds. So I kinda used them both. As for the many things wrong with it… I am aware the proportions/ anatomy/ shading/ light source are all wrong. I woulda fixed it up if the file didn’t corrupt and I had more time. ; ; And I know Auron looks about five years old, and Tidus looks really weird. ^^

So sorry for how crappy this is. ;o; Might scrap later… @@;;;;;

Time taken: Lots of 10 minute intervals throughout a couple of days. =\ (had to redo)
Tools: Photoshop 7.0 and mouse and tablet. (no sketch on paper first which is probably why it sucks so much)

Well I think it's really brilliant! Especially Auron. He looks younger and grooveh. XD

BUT IT IS AMAZING.

TRULY AMAZING.

I love the fact it's black and white

But you know..I've never seen/heard/played/felt/tasted FF before so can't really say much.

I love the eyes and the glasses the guy is wearing. Uhm...There is something wrong with the eye-cheek position from the girl upfront. I not exactly sure what but it looks a bit awkward?

Love the background ^^

It looks really awesome! For your first black and white pic I think it came out really well. I like the designs you did for the characters, though I only know which one is Yuna (I'm not into FF that much).

If I had to start all over, I think I woulda left the line art sitting on my comp for a long time...

mnpower In reply to FoxOfTheRoses [2005-08-31 12:55:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.... I haven't actually played the whole of FFX or X-2... But this was the requirement so....

XD I would have left the lineart alone and never have finished it, but it was for a doujinshi, and was due on the 25th soo....

mnpower In reply to Kouji-chan [2005-08-31 12:54:28 +0000 UTC]

Nah, it's not good at all. >_<;;; It doesn't actually show my current style because I tried to revert back to my cel-shade style for this.

Lol... I woulda given up but the pic was due on the 25th August, and I didn't want to let granddaughter down...

Thank you so much Kouji.

That came out so well Rulz! You should be proud of it!
I love the characters designs you did. Espcially for Auron. *///* Riku looks really cute. ^^
The job you did on Tidus's eyes is so lovely<3 Yuna looks adorable. ^^ I love how her hair turned out.

The background looks so pretty. *__* You should give yourself more credit, you totally deserve it.
