Description Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! And what better way to celebrate than with a drawing of the original Final Fantasy ladies' man himself, Balthier, from FFXII. Yes, at 23 years of age, this bachelor enjoys gun-slinging, pillaging, and long walks on the beach. But watch out - his feisty companion Fran has claws - and she knows how to use em.

Materials:
Printer Paper (yes, I'm cheap.)
Mechanical Pencil
Mgic Rub (and yes, it really is magic.)
Reference picture

Remember, he is to be enjoyed, but use only in moderation.

Is Balthier available by air-mail? Because that would be mighty convenient.

I feel bad that I can't offer the advance critique that you want, all I notice is his hair line is a little high, but it's always been high so no worries there. XD But seriously, you caught the true essence of Baltheir in all his greatness. I love the way you drew his hand, it turned out so good.

lol no, but you might be able to find him on ebay.

No worries, I just put that advanced critique thing there just cuz that's what I put for everything. Balthier = smokin hot, and I hope I caught the essence of that. But if I may critique myself, I think I drew the hand a tad too small.

alchemic-reaction In reply to friedChicken365 [2008-02-22 03:14:26 +0000 UTC]

Damn, foiled again because of my lack of an eBay account (and money).

He is hot, though I have to say there are a few FF guys who surpass him in "hotness" (to me, at least), but he's still up there. (You gotta admit, Final Fantasy VII's Cid was very attractive, just for starters) You definitely caught Balthier's "hotness" in the essence, don't worry. I think the hand looks great, but that may stem from my inability to draw hands; so maybe you shouldn't trust me.

Well, I may argue that Cid is, like, in his thirties, and some people may go battle royale to prove that Cloud is the hottest of all. Me, I can't really decide.

alchemic-reaction In reply to friedChicken365 [2008-02-23 17:10:02 +0000 UTC]

Well still, I think Cid is handsome. I love the rough look, and the fact that he used spear like weapons made me like him more. I dunno, I like him, though I dunno if he's my top fave...

Honestly, I never found Cloud all that attractive. I don't know why, like yes he's handsome and whatnot, but he never really appealed to me. I just remember him for the good hack and slash days of good ol' FF. I'm sure I could look for ways for me to like him, but they wouldn't be genuine. XD But I suppose a good question is, who is the hottest guy from all of Final Fantasy? A question the world may never answer...

Now that, my friend, is a very good question. Like I said before, it is extremely difficult to decide.

I agree with AR, I never found Cloud that attractive...Mostly cause I hate his emo ass, so yeah. :]

Well, Nintendo is pretty notorious for their incredibly durable consoles (except for mine but I bought it that way. Fluke). A few years ago, someone made a movie on youtube where he dropped 3 consoles from a 3-story building: an XBox, PS2, and Gamecube. After dropped, thre PS2 refused to read any disc, and the XBox claimed the laser for reading the discs was "misaligned." The Gamecube's top would'nt shut. The guy taped the top shut, turned the thing on, and it worked fine.

Maybe you should invest in a Wii or something...

i saw that vid i've known for some time about nintendo and their durability, the reason i have a 360 is b/c of the games and more importantly xbox live..i would have a wii but i got a psp instead i actually get more use out of my psp seeing as im always on the road. but im definitly getting a wii the minute a gamestop near me can get enough in stock..i would get one at the sears where i work but we're all out as well.

lol I didn't know they sell Wiis at Sears . Man, Nintendo is going through the roof with this console. I mean after the suckishness of the Gamecube, they've really made a comeback. It's been a year since the Wii debut, and they're still sold out in stores. Craziness!!!

i know right!! i kinda had a feeling in 05 that nintendo would win the console war, and if microsoft and sony don't get their shit t'gether then its wii for the win..but in all fairness the gamecube was pretty badass for a console the only bad thing about it was the size of the discs.

friedChicken365 In reply to SektrOne [2008-02-17 17:07:11 +0000 UTC]

And the fact that the Gamecube looked like a lunchbox.
But seriously, some of the games I liked, seen on XBox and PS2 never debuted on the GCN, which made me sad. The gamecube could have been a lot better of a console if more games were released on that console. I mean, I love DDR, but it makes me angry that it was only released for XBox and PS2, among other games.

ya thats why you kinda had to either have a GC and xbox or gc and ps2, i dunno i always thought the japanese taking sides was kinda unfair i wanted to see more metal gear on the xbox same with resident evil, but they stayed exclusive to GC and PS2, which is understandable since nintendo and sony are both japanese.. but still
