Description This is for 's monthly contest, the theme this month was "elements" and I couldn't resist being a little toungue-in-cheek about it.

I spent a lot of time on Autor's boots, so you better appreciate! Once I had flattened the image and done everything else I moved it over to MS Paint to work on them, I haven't sprited in a while so it took forever.

Choosing who was which classical element was a bit tough, both Fakir and Rue have passionate personalities, both Mytho and Ahiru can be air headed, both are also aquatic bird so either would have fit for water, Rue is also a bird and so could have worked for air as well. In the end I rather like going with the elements I chose for them, their costumes match their eyes. I chose yellow for air because it seems so silly to have blue be two different elements and yellow is a nice, light, airy color. I also have personal issues with representing earth with plants but since Fakir turned into a tree in one episode (omigosh, spoilers you gais!) it seemed most fitting that he'd end up dressed as Puck.

Princess Tutu and all related characters belong to Ikuko Itoh

If you want to read more about why I went with this toungue in cheek idea and some of the rage that feuled this you can read it in my latest journal, which is all about the four classical "elements" [link]

It is a ballet school right? or am I remembering it wrong?
If it is, does that mean that Autor also dances ballet? because I REALLY want to see that! XD

Well, Malen and Lysander were both art students, Malen in the graphic arts and Lysander with statuary. There's also the season 2 episode where the theatre department borrows Fakir for a play. I can't remember if it's explicitly stated that Autor is not a ballet student, but I'm pretty sure he is said to be a music student. In short, it looks like Kinkan is a school for "the fine arts" and not just ballet.

But I think he's a lot like his cousin, he just needed a reason to soften up like Fakir did. His face was so sweet when he fell for Rue.

Aww! That is so precious!

Ahiru - concerned (aww)
Rue and Fakir - amused (shame on them...pfft...)
Mytho - confused... (lol)
Autor - ...surprised and sad... (poor guy)

Lol, love it! And I love their outfits...well, maybe not Autor's...though it's...unique...lol.

Believe it or not but Autors "costume" was the very first thing I thought of: just a sandwich sign with periodic table of elements information on it. This was just so much fun! Thank you for the kind comment and especially the fav.

That is so fun! Id totally have this one win! Lolz
Please tell me he mad his entire costume out of boron!!! Please! AND I really dont care if its non-mental element (I dont remeber if its a gas normally...) His whole feakin outfit should be boron!

Nanenna In reply to xStarPrincessTallyx [2011-09-28 00:36:49 +0000 UTC]

It's a solid element at room temp and when found naturally. I think it's one of those weird semi-metals and it wouldn't be hard to mix it into other stuff to make a boron composite. So yes, it is now canon. He made his costume out of boron. XB

Nanenna In reply to FinalFantasyPrincess [2011-09-13 15:09:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The costumes were definitely fun to make! I had a bit of trouble with Rue's skirts, I feel like I should have maybe made then twisty like her hair piece, they ended up kind of looking like flower petals. But Fakir's leaves were the most fun to do, and I was afraid they'd be tedious. No... Autor's costume was the most tedious.

And thank you very much for the fav!

I just read your rant, and definitely a valid point. I just have no clue what else to call them for the purpose of the contest.

Other hand, I love your entry. Well drawn, clever, and witty!
