Description I don't know whether it was my intention all along or it was who convinced me after I submitted my design for Daryl. Whatever the inspiration, here we are with a cozy scene of Setzer with his squeeze Daryl.

I came up with the title from the lyrics of a song I was playing while finishing the piece: "F**kability" by Maria Doyle Kennedy. Go check it out: [link] I think what will come after this scene would lead to this number from AIR: "Le Voyage de Penelope" --> [link] (chickabowow)

btw, is it me or do Setzer's legs look too short?

*edit 10/3/10: Yup, they were too short. It took rotating the canvas to figure it out, but I edited and resubmitted it. I'm happier with this turnout; I hope you all agree

It's so cute I could die. I think I almost cried during that part, but I didn't. Poor Setzer...but you drew this beautifully, even if Setzer's legs do seem a little bit short.

Thank you! And yeah, cursed legs; they were shorter in the previous version, but eh at least this is better

Love the pic. I'm just now getting back to the first incarnation of FF6, FF3 for the SNES, and it is as glorious as I remember it back when I was a wee lad of 4-5 years old, when I first beat it. That summer, a FF fan was born.

Aw, I haven't see the short legs. xD (Wait, I didn't, I haven't... DAMN YOU ENGLISH!)

Whoever draws Daryll and setzer is appreciated. *V* And if the draw is awesome, it's even better.

That's because I reuploaded the image; the original post had Setzer much shorter than he is now.

I'm glad you like

I must say, their facial expressions are made of pure, uncut win.

Come on, guys. Setzer's not an anime character. His legs appear to be at a normal human leg length. Consider that his waist is where his belt is.
I say his legs are drawn just right and this this picture looks great!

So far, 2-1. Anyone else on my side?

Actually, Maxime's right: they were short. The average leg should be long enough so that when bent your knee should meet with your shoulder. Previously Setzer's knee would barely reach his armpit. However, I modified it and hopefully to a more accurate length.

If you say so. We all liked it, regardless.

It looks good, but, I do believe the legs are quite short. Other than that Ir eally like it. Good complicity between the characters.

Yeah, I turned to this work in my sketchbook vertically (the work lies horizontally) and found my mistake! So I gave Setzer a booster shot of growth hormone by redrawing his legs from where Daryl is sitting on him. I think the toughest part of that was adding my signature sketchiness back 'cause the lines came out too clean afterwards

Thank you! Like I said in my description, you pretty much convinced me to work on something like this.

Oh my this is so rare to find I love their expressions

And I don't think Setzer's legs are too short

And its rarity is what made me do it! That and I wanted another excuse to draw Daryl's skirt again
