Description Till death do us part...
************************************

Finally! Took me long enough to do this... I've lost track of the hours.

Almost through with the game but got caught up with the hunts and esper chases. I've always wanted to draw Ashe the moment I saw her... (well, minus the fluorescent-pink skirt) and only now did a plausible image pop up in my head. Her femme-fatale character makes her well-suited to be the protagonist, methinks. Vaan still seems rather bland... But that's open to debate! I'll just have to finish the game soon.

Anyways, details:

- Atmospheric lighting practice
- Characters + background done in 1 layer
- References --> [link]
- PS CS2
- Wacom Graphire 3

Oh yeah, forgive the awkwardness of the pose. I badly wanted to show both faces while retaining the gesture.

Part 4: Unchained Melody - Tidus & Yuna

I just began playing FFXII and was very sad by the death of Rasler. And I love the pairing. Lovely art piece...very emotional.

What a sad message ;__; But your pic is wonderful (as the others of the serie) FFXII does not have a real couple of heroes but I like this one a lot ^o^ I think Ashe is supposed to be the main character compare to Vaan who just follow her since she appears... Then he doesnt play any role -_-

this is very nice. Ashe and Rasler had such a sad story i wish he hadn't have died and they could have had time together. I think Ashe would be a completely different person if she hadn't have lost him

marc21 In reply to Steffrox [2007-08-28 21:06:01 +0000 UTC]

yeah... somehow i wish square made ff12 start off with ashe and rasler's pre-war life. his death would have been severely more significant and it will be interesting to see ashe's character change. she must've been a softie before the event

This is beautiful! You did a great job on the BG, and the outfits are great! I can imagine it took forever o_o

thank you. that background... is inspired by a scene in a music video. fergie's latest one actually.
FF outfits get to be a bigger pain as the series progresses coz they get so dang detailed!

thanks... their situation reminds me of Tidus and Yuna in X-2.

Yeah, I've read about the X-2 game, [because I bought a used game at Gamestop and stupid me didn't check the game before the 7-day returnable thingie--it glitches, and to make it worse, it glitches at the VERY BEGINNING when the people are cheering--can't go any farther!], but yeah, I know the story, so I know what you're talking about.

oh heck that sucks =/
well at least in that game there's the option for a happy ending... although how tidus comes about is really a super huge loophole.
