Beautiful, beautiful.
The selected painting is special almost abstract, I like it.

Good work.

[Xander]

Wow. They look very unique, and yes they have an abstract look, I really like them.

[finalheaven]

ohh i liek the style ..v differnt from the normal fan art these days ^_^

[rubah]

abstract? X.x;

Thanks though^_^

[T-MaN]

I like how you did the wings on Rinoa. They are quite beautiful.

[disapointedchild]

That is really good. I wish I could draw. If only there was a formula telling of how to do it. I love formulas. ;)

[Cybele]

Those are really nice. I really like the coloring style. :)

[nik0tine]

Those are nice. I really like the Squall one. Is he resting his head upon one of Rinoa's wings?

[rubah]

Nah, he's just looking angsty XD but I guess with a little retouching it could look like that. and that's a neat idea:D

and disappointed child, actually there is a formula for the wings at least^_^ can't remember what site I saw it on, but it's like you put down three dots (the fourth is usually hidden behind the person's body) one at the low part, one at the apex, and the last where the wing cartiledge ends. Trace them together, put a supporting line underneath, and draw feathers beneath them hanging down. Shorter feathers nearer the body, longer ones further out.

The rest of drawing figures is remembering your proportions which I totally didn't do in this one:D squall's head should be quite a bit smaller, and rinoa's neck is a bit way too long. I guess the proportions could be a formula too.

The thing about drawing is that it doesn't look too good when it's forced. Which is a good reason to have a tablet and something inherently antialiased like open canvas because it just makes you want to be loose with doodling^_^ THe thing about working with a mouse is that you have to force your arms and wrists to move in ways that your muscles aren't used to, so your lines are a bit forced. And it's sorta hard to turn the canvas, usually because you can't rotate your mind with it^_^;

[My name is...something..?]

Good job. I like the coloring of the whole picture. i also like the look in general, reminds me of my days of painting my mexican murals for my friends.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

They could use some shoulders. That's about it, though.

[Necronopticous]

Some of the better Final Fantasy fanart I've seen. Good style.

[Shlup]

Very cute. Makes me sleepy.

[rubah]

Kishi, you make an excellent point.

And Necronopticous, that doesn't bode well for the rest of the ff fanartXD

[disapointedchild]

Thanks for the advice, the "formula." Now I can draw wings. But I have no body to put them on. :(
