Description en: here you are, the coloured version!!!
i'm preparing it even with photoshop, but it takes a lot for meXD moreover i'm working on so many different projects at the moment and i'm so busyXD i'm think a will die for too much workXD enjoy anywayXD

ita: eccolo colorato! visto che lo volevate tanto...
giochiamo alla geografia dell'america! al primo posto c'è arizona!
ho pure notato che c'è chi legge i miei commenti assurdi e mi dà anche retta, ma al momento sto guardando true blood e... questa era l'unica cosa che potevo scrivereXD
ciancio alle bande, c'è un utilizzo minimo di photoshop per il velo azzurro dello sfondo... avete visto i fiori???? l'avevo finito di colorare, ma mi faceva una tristezza immane... sono uscita quindi e in un negozio (non faccio nomi per non far pubblicità occultaXD) avevo visto lo scatolone di una tv che aveva tutti sti fiori viola (che erano più belli di come li ho disegnati eh!) ed è stato ammmore! il resto è storiaXD
sto facendo anche la versione con photoshop, ma portate pazienza perchè lì sono molto lenta e sto lavorando a 20mila progetti in contemporanea (finchè sono panciolle senza università...)

Not sure how I missed this one! I just happened to see it when I was looking for something and was pleasantly surprised it was yours! I needed this this weekend; it's the perfect post for a Sunday morning here.

As for the piece, I love both versions of Rinoa in here. It reminds of those pictures in school, where they have a portrait shot that's done as reflection and then one where you're looking at the camera...I'm not sure you know what I mean, but for some reason, I the comparison is appropriate. Plus, in this one, the 'portrait' in the background also is a representation of her past, the person she was before. The other one is what's become, strong and semi-independent (I can't say completely independent because she needs her knight, or at least his belief in her..sappy me is sappy) but she's definitely gained confidence which is showed in your work.

thanks a lot!
(well, this work is really old and I was almost forgetting this, but this comment brings me back memories!XD)
I'm so happy you like it, the idea what exactly what you wrote down here. I like Dion Rogers' version (although here it's a bit different from the original one) and I've always thought that it could represent a kind of growth for her. before, she needs the others a lot, right now she knows that she's not alone and she becomes more confident with herself!
I started to wrote a finction back then about this, but then I didn't continue it!XD

Haha, I found out why I hadn't seen it. I'd just clicked your Final Fantasy folder...but when I typed "Final Fantasy" into your gallery, a whole other page of work showed up! Which is awesome, I was looking for more pieces to share, thank you so much for allowing to put them at Facebook. So often I see worked without people getting permission and because of that a lot of artists are hesitant to allow it - so it means a lot. Seriously, I appreciate everyone who allows me too.

Plus, I had to share this one today, I just loved it.

Also, I'm glad that my guess was somewhat close. Honestly, I didn't look at other comments to see if anyone said something. I'm just happy when my interpretation is somewhat close to what the author is going for. I also have always loved your fairytale element, your Dark Rinoa/villain remains one of my favorite. If you're ever board, I'd love to see Rinoa as a ballerina. It's ironic, when I wrote Castles I thought someone, somewhere would've drawn one, I was surprised when I couldn't find one. I don't know, but maybe tying in the dance elements?

Oh and it's awesome you started a fanfiction. Maybe one day you'll pick it up again; even if it's one-shot, the explanation of the transformation would be very intriguing. Again, thank you for your permissions and glad I found more of your 'hidden' Final Fantasy works. I saw the Tifa Tarot card, are you planning a Rinoa or is it just Final Fantasy 7?

rinoa as a ballerina.. I can try! I've never thought about it, but it can be a nice interpretation! as soon as I'm free with other works I will!

(since this drawing is old and I think that no one can come here to see these comments, yes, rinoa will be in the tarot deck as "the stars" and I'll be the one to draw her - since my coworker knows about my love about this pg -. there will be characters from ffVI to ffXII! among the other, squall, seifer, zell and quistis are on board too!)

AshbearVIII In reply to DarkRinoa88 [2013-06-30 15:19:57 +0000 UTC]

Well if you do managed to do Rinoa as a ballerina, would it be okay if I used it for cover art on Castles in the Sky? I used the pictures that RinoaKnight took for something else - the pictures were Rinoa's duster/necklace with rings with pointe shoes, as she's a ballerina and a cos-player, so that worked out well. I used part of those pictures for Sandcastles, but then have the other photos spliced in at is the follow up story. I'd love to have your work on ffnet if you'd allow.

And YAY on the tarot cards. That'll be awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing the set progress.

No need to ask, I would be glad and superhappy for that! By the way, have you any prefrerence about her clothes/hair or it's all up to me? u

AshbearVIII In reply to DarkRinoa88 [2013-06-30 18:53:02 +0000 UTC]

You know, for the life of me, I couldn't remember what I had her in...then again, I couldn't remember what I wore yesterday, let alone what I put a fanfiction character in 12 years ago.

I looked it up and it was basically your typical white tea-length (3/4? Not sure if 'tea-length' is a term in all countries ) with the white tulle/netting skirt with the sequins/crystals hair pulled back. Er, just your typical ballet thing. Of course, I had to be all over-the-top dramatic and do the horses pulling a carriage on stage. That sounds so much more complex than it was -- just your 'typical' longer ballet dress on pointe.

You know, this is so random, but when I saw ballet once (might be Nutcracker, are there horses in there? Maybe it was Cinderella where the mice were turned...er I'm sooo random!) anyways I was sooo amazed they had real horses on stage. Of course, as an adult, it isn't so much amazed as slightly horrified...I'd be so worried. *laughs* It really is amazing how perception can change with age...and maybe a little sad that part is gone. Still, memories.

Don't feel like you have to do it, especially with your large tarot card undertaking. Believe me, I completely understand. I just know I ran a search once on dance and surprised, not sure why. I found Areith (sp?) as a ballet dancer and not Rinoa. I also found one of Squall and Rinoa ballroom dancing/Phantom of the Opera (I'm not using in-game ballroom scenes, there a lot of those!) Then on the same searching I got Zell, Seifer, and Squall dressed in can-can girl outfits. So yeah, that wasn't what I was expecting. What was seen cannot be unseen.

XD you're just like me! my memory goes aways so fast and I don't even remeber what I did 5 minutes ago (not alwaysXD)
hey, can you link me this fiction??? *.*
don't worry, let's see what I can do!
(by the way, I love doing restyling and different outfits, so this is something for meXD) right now I should draw something for the dissidia aces tournament, but as it seems that all the parecipants lost their passion in this, I'm losing it too, so I don't know...I'll try something, let's see what it happens!

Haha, no problem. It's the oldest thing I wrote so yeah...it's scary. Part of me wanted to take it down, but people who remember me from way-back-when have told me to keep it up..so I have. I wrote it in 2001 and slightly redid it in 2002. The date on ffnet is wrong, they were testing something and it messed up my dates.

Anyways, here is the English version at ffnet: [link]

However, if it's easier, here's the Italian translation - [link] .

Woo hoo! For once, I could direct someone to EFP. Also, I have absolutely no idea what the Italian reviews say, so they might not be kind. Alessia is going to translate some day so I can reply, until then I'm basically clueless about the reception. ...Once, long ago, someone translated a short fic I wrote into Chinese...and well, that didn't go over so well. I was told it was a cultural difference; so, either people loved it for being progressive...or were offended. Of course, that was never my intent. Rinoa and Squall were laying in bed thinking about things. There was no kissing or anything like that, just laying in bed thinking and...I didn't even think about it when he asked, but since he was an admin of a fansite, I figured it wouldn't be big deal. Yep. I was wrong. So,hopefully I faired a little bit better in Italy. I'd rather not offend an entire country....AGAIN

FYI the first description is the second chapter when Squall sees her dancing on stage, although I don't know what words she used. Gah, not sure if that makes sense.

thanks a lot for linking this! right now I'm reading it, and all that I can say is that's awesome! I love your writing style, it's so catching!
I can't wait what is going to happen!
anyway, I have the idea for the drawing too! yeee!!!

*hugs* thank you so much.

If you're reading the Italian version, that's actually very cool! I've never actually talked to someone who read that just that version that wasn't part of the translating team. The follow-up story is posted, actually finished it yesterday (twelve years after the original, but it was for my 12 year anniversary in fanfiction.) Alessia won't get to translating that until early next year, I believe, but the English version is at ffnet on my Eternal Tiet account if you want to know about their lives 12 years later. I'm so glad you're enjoying it; my writing style has changed so much, but there is something special about that story as it was the first one I wrote.

Finally i can see this drawing full colored! Awesome nice! I really like how you did the backgroud, the purple flowers really combine a lot with Rinoah colours, and the purple contorn of the flowers is very nice!

It would be a good idea to give more strength to your coloring, i don't know if the real drawing have more deep colours or ibecause scanners usually lower the color profundity, but giving more strength to them, would be a huge advance! For example the strong blue you did on the edge of her skirt and dark browns on her belt. You did a great work on those!

Liked a lot the shining effects of her hair and the blue lines (or little stipes xD) of her clothes, they are very well possitioned, according to the perspective. Nice work! Faved

i know, in reality che colours are stronger but my scanner is so disgusting and it makes things like that T.T i tried to set it up with photoshop later, but it was a total mess... anyway, i'm going to buy another one, this is very old and sometimes it makes a strange soundXD

Ohh i'm glad to hear that! You are buying one, and trust me, when stuff starts makign an "strage sound" is that something is wrong! xD This saturdar I am going to buy an scaneer, becuz i don't have, any recomendations to buy one? I want to buy a good one that can't mess up the work! LOL
