Art Stuffs

Giant heads are my specialty =D. Nah not really, I just have a problem with big heads/skulls. I'm trying to improve, the big-head issue was worse in a number of my earlier works.

And I realized the hand was screwed, but I wasn't really caring about it after rubbing it out several times and having to flip it when I realized the thumb was facing the front, which it definitely shouldn't be.

And I think I'll fix that arm, should only take me ten minutes tops.

Thanks for the comment on the colouring ^_^. I've found as I've progressed my colouring is beginning to look better than my linework, which is frustrating because I'm constantly sketching/practising yet I colour less often -.-

EDIT: Hang on, the arm looks alright in the other full-bodied picture I did (excluding feet 'cause I ran out of room, heh). He's about 7 and a half heads tall here, so I'll upload that as a comparison (it's almost exactly the same picture except a slightly different facial expression).

I've been on a Squall binge for the last couple of days, which makes absolutely no sense because I've been playing Jak and Daxter. =/.

But anyway, this is the second drawing I've done since I returned from my Mum's that I liked. The other is also Squall but I don't like it as much as this one.



And colours with a blurred FF8 background:

I think it was the other way around, y'know, and no, definitely not.

Dreams

More often than not in my dreams I am a video game character.
Usually Squall but it varies.

...But I did use a reference for this image D:. I couldn't get Kyer/Rinoa right so I looked at her original artwork from FF8.

(I was using the larger version, however)
And I shouldn't have shaded the lips so heavily, but sometimes I go overboard ^_^'

Art Stuffs

I haven't drawn anything properly in a week because I hate drawing at my Mum's and I usually lose the images unless they're in my sketchbook, so I'll post a faceset that I drew for CC.


And the size it appears at in-game:

Well yeah, all the character art here are my drawings. The red circle stuff and the gold/silver effects were done with a lot of scribbles and random GIMP effects =/.

I'm loving those facesets Ness! She looks really cute in the last one. The colours are really excellent.

I...uh... don't mean to gripe, but compared to Marian's sprite's hair, isn't the front of Alice's hair a little under-shaded? It looks like one solid colour while Marian's has a shadow and a highlight. The animation and the rest of it looks great, the hair just looked a little out of place compared to other parts of the sprite and other sprites in the character area.
You're probably going to shade it and my comment is probably completely unnecessary, but it's just something I noticed. I'm gonna go now, heh ^_^'

By the way, messages don't actually appear like this. I usually just test play from the map I want to take screenshots of and since the message setting is performed when the game gets started up, the message window returns to default.

A montage of thoughts about several games

For someone who makes RPG's I don't really play a lot of them. I've played a few demos and etc, but haven't completed many games aside from the later FF series, so I'll comment on those.
Oh an I played FF1.

FF1(Remake) > I got about 15 minutes into this game, got a ship and didn't know where the hell to go so I quit. I, for one, like a good combination of linearity/free exploring. Anything that tips more towards free exploring I generally avoid because I get very lost, then frustrated, then I break things. It was the reason I quit Astonishia Story, as well.

FF7> I haven't finished this game but I restarted it namely because I'm like that. I get 3/4 through then restart because I don't like how I played. But, on that note, I have been enjoying this game, but not as much as all the hype seems to rave on about it. Plus Aeris sucks. Ass. And the final area she's alive in MAKES HER IN YOUR PARTY, which annoyed me because I already knew she died and I just wanted her to f**k off. Seriously. Tifa is a much better girlfriend for Cloud, if he ever starts learning to feel stuff again. -.-.
But on that note, I find the battles highly enjoyable, the graphics are meh compared to the massive jump made to FF8, materia's pretty cool and Sephiroth is badass. Story doesn't make a lot of sense but that makes it fun for me. I make storyline up to make it make sense. The games become bad fanfiction in a sense P:.
FF8> This was my third game, ever, and my first RPG, ever, so I of course am very, very nostalgic about it. I actually love the draw and Junction systems and was shocked to find people hated them. Like I mentioned previously, the issue with no proper backstories for character's never bothered me because I made them up. I loved Squall and Rinoa's relationship, the Sorceress storyline and...Squall in general. Plus the Ragnarok is the most badass airship to date. It kicks all of its following FF airship's ASSES. And I loved the musical score, I'm listening to it at the moment =/.
Plus I loved all the GF sequences even though Eden makes me get grey hair with the length. I believe FF8 deserved a sequel a lot more than FF7 did, because it had a number of loose ends compared to FF7.
FF7 wrapped basically everything up, and Advent Children was almost unnecessary, personally. It was basically fan-service.
FF9> I actually didn't play this until a few years ago but I loved it to bits. Zidane is so hilarious and Vivi is so mysterious and cute. And the whole Terra/Genome storyline was badass. Luckily I haven't finished this either, so where the plot stops I haven't even reached. I stopped shortly after Pandemonium.
The battles were HORRENDOUS. And grinding was A PAIN IN THE BUTT. I spent two hours searching for the equivalents of FF8's Islands Closest to Hell/Heaven, but all I found were Grand Dragons, which were Level 60 and I was about level 50 and I got crappy experience. I got so bored of the fights and the only fight I ever was interested in was Gizamaluke...he kicked my ass about 3 times. I found myself wishing for more sidequests. Like I said, I like linearity, but I want some free exploring too and few of FF9's sidequests could be just 'jumped into'. FF8 had a ton of sidequests since seven of your GF's were OPTIONAL.
FFX>This game was alright plot wise but it dragged a bit. I found myself mainly battle levelling for gameplay. Plus I hated the ending. Because I hate it when I cry. Shows the characters were pretty decent.
FFXII>hate the battle system. HATE HATE HATE HATE. Vaan sucks too. Ashe is pretty cool, but I also disliked the desaturated tones the characters skin and hair were done with. I could barely tell the difference between character eye colours, and it annoyed me. I haven't finished it but that's because it bored me. Lots of sidequests though, which is awesomeness ^_^.
