Description
"I'll protect you now. My true feelings... will protect you."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presenting my seventh submission for the Ladies of Gundam project, a project that will feature a series of portraits of female characters from the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise...
My first submission for the year 2015, a realism rendition of Flay Allster from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed. Yes, I started this year painting a character known for being bratty, manipulative and insane. But to me, I see Flay more as a misjudged individual. I prefer painting her smiling and wearing her default pink attire. I hope you like this rendition.

And the ultimate irony, she not only ended up falling in love with a Coordinator, but the Ultimate Coordinator. Incredible piece.

Me: *watching when Flay and Kira doink each other* Screw Fifty Shades of Grey, this is Fifty Shades of Flay XD

You have made some interesting picks for your character portfolio.

It's amazing to see the amount of hate for Flay Allster. I can understand why and/or how Flay is such a person she is... For one thing, she's a spoiled rich kid with Elektra Complex. She is pampered to the bone and not used to seeing the horrors of war. Thus, it became her nature to act the way she acted.
Furthermore, she just saw her father get killed right before her eyes, which is good diagnosis for her losing part of her sanity and an even better reason for holding a grudge against Coordinators, ironically manipulating Kira Yamato, who is also a Coordinator, to do her bidding. Compared to Quess Paraya (from MSG: Char's Counter Attack), Flay Allster is much more tolerable.

Flay did get a lot of motivation for her actions, and character development thereof. Her kidnapping and POW-pet arc gave Flay a more balanced look on things, and I am sure that if she had not gotten blown up then she would have been able to pick up with Kira on a better note. She turned out to be first-rate tragic heroine though, unlike Quess, who mainly came across as a spoiled brat with no understanding of the world around her or a real stake in the action.

I think that SEED being a 50-episode series while Char's Counterattack was a roughly 90 minute movie worked in Flay's favor on that front.

We'd like to think so, yeah, but Quess was intended to be a Newtype silver spoon head case just ripe for manipulation & exploitation. There is a not-so-veiled critique of her old man and the Federation leadership (and by extension, Japan inc. circa 1990). It's not a flattering character bio, but it works, and it ought to engender a little understanding, maybe a little sympathy.

Good job! I love Flay as a character (she has a great story arc and actresses playing her) but hate her actions and attitudes (let's just say we would not be friends if she were real.

Thank you...
The answer to your question is yes... I will be doing other ladies from Seed and Seed Destiny, especially with the fact that the most requested character that people want me to paint is from Seed, which is Lacus Clyne. I plan to do this project all year long and possibly the year after. But unfortunately, I won't be painting Seed characters anytime soon. I need to give room for ladies from other Gundam series... So please be patient.

Ah, of course. I look forward to it, whenever it does come! ^^
