Nice. It looks great. Everything about it is great. Well... except for the ugly cosplayers. But that's beside the point. It's great!

I love how well you captured the lighting. It's a lost art that so few even appreciate... especially with the popularity of anime styles that all but ignore it entirely. But, yeah, the cosplay actors don't fit right. If you feel inspired to do something like this again, feel free to do the rest off the cosplay, but I think you should find some captures of the FMVs and use faces off of those. Just a suggestion to perfect an otherwise gorgeous work.

thanx im glad you like it!
actually i didnt use their faces at all, i tried really hard to make them look like rinoa and squall. ^^ guess it needs more work

It's really beautiful, and I like Squall's face but I don't think Rinoa's face seems quite right..just something about it. It's a very nice picture though =)

I like the fact that it's in contrast to the typical anime art style. You did quite a nice job in the penciling, especially.

its amazin and squall is actin correctly!

Good stuff.

That's really pretty. I like how Squall came out the best. :)

That su-- uh..... I mean its greeaaaaat!! Damnit and I hate tony the tiger! :lol:

angel tears ..youve done it again! ^_6 i love ur work and u show a great quality in this image. i have the smae problem some times making the drawing look like the characters. i find that i have to analyse them first at all differnt angles and doing small sketches of them..kinda time consuming yeah but in the end its kinda worth it. love your work!

makes me think of the telly show 'Daria'.

Proportion is good.

I like the colors you used in it. The soft feel is a nice one to see.

The gestures given from the faces, hum. Since it's based on a cosplay couple I guess it could be left as it is. It's a shame though because you're almost there, all you needed to do was just fix the eyebrows.

Good job overall, I wonder how long it took you to draw this.
