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.

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!)

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

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.

I can't wait what is going to happen!
anyway, I have the idea for the drawing too! yeee!!!
(oh, don't worry about the italina reviews, they are all positive! they all love you!)

questo è vero però! forse sono stata influenzata dalle copertine della prima serie di saiyuki, che c'erano fiori dappertutto!
