Description [VIEW IN FULLSIZE]
*Pitifully Minor Update: Ran it through some adjustments.
Second Pitifully Minor Update:

*I made up a bunch of random names; I'm not sure which to use, however: Kryler Espauliere Jorsiste V'Challeo Narrette. Goody.

I've never tried coloring anything in this way before, at least on Photoshop. This took a few hours to finish, because I wasn't able to give it my full attention.

Anyway, it's a concept for a character I'd like to play with. As far as inspiration goes, I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics on my PSP for the better part of my nights (I have trouble sleeping these days), so there's that.

I managed to do it all in basically 2 layers, one for coloring, the other for the lineart. It made for an interesting challenge. BTW, Photoshop's default brushes are just about as useful as a weasel in a cardboard shirt.

This was just a coloring test. I've never tried painting this way in Photoshop before, but I guess it works. ROFL! *Hands them over pitifully* Q A Q;;

And surrsly. My old account felt spammy, somehow. Not sure. LOL. But I'll go check it out, yo. 8I

And LMAO. Laziness is sexy.

So, is this character supposed to be an O.C, or at least the makings of one, from Final Fantasy Tactics? I love that game! I played it for 350+ hours and mastered every job for every character and got every artifact and wonder.

Here's a tip: for learning Zodiack, have one player learn it by getting hit then continue playing Midlight's Deep until you encounter more Summoners. Use the Knight's Rend Magick ability a bunch of times on the character that uses Zodiack then use Zodiack on the enemy Summoner. If he/she survives, you'll likely see a cursor flash over him/her. Then, kill the Summoner and you can have another character learn Zodiack from the Crystal. Repeat until all the characters whom you want to learn Zodiack do so. Also, how about his character here; is she an O.C or just an experiment?

I've had that copied and pasted for future reference; many thanks! And honestly, it's been a good year since I've touched my PSP, but I find Tactics to be such an immersing and brilliant game that it hasn't lost its appeal at all. I have a hard time tearing myself away from it. I don't mind the occasional slow-down during battle, because every other aspect of that game is just fantastically gorgeous and intricate. Plot-wise, I find it superior to most of the ones found in newer games these days.

And that's a good question, mate; I don't know if she'll turn out to be an OC, though it's certainly turning out that way. I'm becoming more and more fond of her. Those are two holsters that she has. I suppose I ought to create a design for her weapons, as well.

Coolness. One thing I'm wondering, are you up for any requests? It's a hobby of mine on DA to devise request art for my favorite games, such as FFT, and pass them out. Maybe one of my FFT ideas might appeal to you? And, maybe if you decide to turn this into an O.C, she can be included. Well, please let me know if you're interested and catch you later.

LOL! Given my hectic schedule, I don't ordinarily take requests, sorry. TT__TT;; If I had some more time on my hands, I'd be chugging stuff out like mad. This is my favorite thing to do, after all. *anguish* And it would've been great to have my character included.

I'd like to look at the ideas anyway, though. I looked through your profile and I love your literary work.

Falchion1984 In reply to Stutterlite [2010-10-16 22:47:23 +0000 UTC]

Okay, here are my ideas.

Final Fantasy Tactics/Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions

Ramza+Agrias: I’ve read a few fics based on this pairing and found the idea irresistible. It does make some sense too, since Agrias was with Ramza the longest and trusted him despite his former association with Gafgorian and being a Beoulve. Perhaps a pic of the two of them training would work or maybe a pic of Ramza finding Agrias, alive, after the explosive conclusion of the final battle.

Ramza Vs. Weigraf: Of the Zodiac villains, Weigraf was probably my favorite. It goes to show you, absolute power can corrupt even the noblest intentions. Perhaps, as Ramza suggested, Weigraf could be confronted by his old friends from the Death Crops and facing their condemnation for him selling his soul to Vormav’s mad plots. Or, alternatively, you could draw Weigraf, beaten and bloodied, embracing the Zodiac Stone while it glows malevolently.

Rafa & Malak: Getting Rafa and Malak onto the team is tough, and their value is debatable. However, they do have their uses and their potential for pics. Perhaps, for instance, a pic could be drawn of Malak pushing Rafa out of the path of Barienten’s bullet, and him taking the bullet instead. Or, alternatively, there could be a pic showing Malak’s miraculous resurrection.

Mustadio+Meliadoul: There are more than a few instances where the shortage of character development detracts from an otherwise great game. It sometimes bothered me that Meliadoul never, shall we say, broke down when she realized her surrogate father became a demon. I’ve seen a few fics that explore her ultimate realization that her brother is dead and her father beyond redemption and, in them, Mustadio pulls her back from the brink. Perhaps a pic could be drawn of this, maybe set just before or just after the final battle. Or, you could do an alternate version of War of the Lions’ Gift of the Magi scene with a nervous Mustadio giving the Tynar Rouge to Meliadoul, her putting it one with a coy look and, perhaps, Ramza and Agrias looking on.

Ramza & Orlandu: Orlandu is cool. He kicks major butt, and Ramza obviously thinks highly of him since he was a friend of his father Balbanes Beoulve. Perhaps this could be shown in a camaraderie pic. We could have Ramza and Orlandu conversing about Balbanes or, alternatively, the two of them could be training.

Ramza Vs. Altima: I’ve seen quite a few interesting pics of Altima, the Bloody Angel. Some make him/her/whatever look fearsome and others make Altima look provocative. Regardless, Altima is a fearsome enemy and a battle scene of her against Ramza and some of his comrades would be cool. Or, alternatively, a detailed pic of Alma while possessed by Altima might also be good.

Delita & Ovelia: Delita was one of the few truly complex characters in the game, and definitely the most polarizing. I can’t help but wonder what Ramza would’ve said if he’d heard Delita’s last line “Ramza, what did you get?” Perhaps this could be developed. Perhaps a picture of Delita and Ovelia, after their stabbing one another could be drawn. And, in the sky above, a cut away of Ramza’s head could be looking down on them with a caption detailing his answer to that question. I am willing to aid with the exact wording for the caption. Or, you could draw Delita and Ovelia staring each other down after she learns he killed Goltana, she shocked and confused while he appears impassive and seemingly kind.

Beowulf+Ries: Beowulf’s status inducing spells never really worked with me, but Reis’ Bracelet skills were cool. One thought is a pic of the two of them just after Reis’ transformation into a dragon is undone. Or, alternatively, a pic could be done of the two in battle with Beowulf hacking and slashing enemies and Reis frying other foes with her Fire Bracelet skill.

Izlude+Alma: A number of fanfic writers have explored the potential of Izlude and Alma falling in love and, in some cases, Alma causing Izlude to realize that his foster father has been ensnared by evil. This naturally begs the question of what would've happened had Izlude survived. One idea is to draw Izlude, wounded and bleeding in Riovanes Castle, looking upon Alma, either in the flesh or as a ghostly afterimage, and forcing himself to stand. Another idea is to draw the final battle, with Ajora standing over Alma making a killing stroke and Izlude, either alive or as a specter, deflecting the blow while Alma, Meliadoul, and possibly Ramza, look on in astonishment.

Holiness and Heresy: One thing that SO should have been in the game, especially in the opinion of a long time Ramza+Agrias fan like myself, is a scene about how the party reacted to the Germonik Scriptures. Given that St. Ajora was practically the cornerstone of Ivalician theology, learning about his (or her?) true self must been quite a blow to many of the party. One idea is to have a tearful Agrias in Ramza’s embrace with the Germonik Scriptures and the symbol of Ajora’s Faithful (I’m not sure if we see it in the game, so the artist can be creative here) in the shot, perhaps on the ground as if an afterthought. Or, alternatively, you could have Ramza training with a forlorn looking Agrias, blades crossed and chest to chest, with Ramza leaning as if to kiss her.

Anyhow, there are a number of possibilities where your character could be included. Most of them involve her being one of Ramza's original squadmates during his academy days, so she can be included in the battle scenes. Or, maybe you can reorient one of my pic ideas to accomodate her if you have specific notions of her origins (i.e. if she's Ramza and Agrias' daughter, for instance). Well, please let me know what works for you and, if you want, I can create a different idea specifically for your character depending on her origins. Please let me know and thanks much. Catch you later.

Those are some excellent ideas; I'm finding the Delita/Ovelia idea particularly interesting. If only I had time, I would imagine that I'd be concentrating on the general "feel" of the expressions upon their faces, as well as the portrayal of their hands. And I do agree that Delita was among the most complex of the characters in that game; from the very onset of the game, I was given that impression. I recall in the beginning he says something along the lines of, "They are all of them swept up in a might current, a current they cannot see or feel. I simply swim against it. Nothing more." I knew there was much to be expected from him at that point onward.

Coolness, and thanks. If you decide to put any of these to paper, I'll be delighted to fave, collect and review it. Thanks much and, again, please let me know if you decide to make this character an O.C with a detailed background.
