Yeah, that's pretty much it. Although she must have been to school at some point, how else would her hair be so green.
Thanks for the comments, by the way. Much appreciated.

Nice work, well done! :)
You've got a good sense of composition in your drawing, althought the characters lack a bit of composition and proper structure.
Especially on the chin feature of your adult version of Rydia where it expands too much. If you wanted to make it look as if she was looking upward, you should have had a line of determination connecting the neck to the chin. Try looking in the mirror to see what I mean.
Your coloring is good, but it seems that you have more then one light source? Because the two characters seems to be the contraire in the light shading as well as the shadows.
Keep up the good work.
(Sorry if you didn't like constructive critisism, I am an art teacher and I can't resist to be like that when I look at art...)
No, I welcome all critisism. It all helps towards becoming a better artist. Besides, I took a three year Visual Art and Design course (and graduated last week, I must add :D ), so I'm used to it and it definatly does help.Quote:

But when I think about it, it probably works fine anyhow because the two Rydias are not actually in the same time, if you know what I mean. Never in the story of FFIV did the little Rydia meet the bigger Rydia, so I guess having the two different light sources helps emphasize that. But like I said, that was purely accidental and only a theory I came up with just now :laughing:
But thanks again for the comment, I'll file it away for future reference :)
Ah... Even is cartoon non-reality, the characters still have a skeleton, muscles. brain, bodyshape and dynamism to rely on ...
not bad...
