Description Yeah, it's been too long since I've drawn this chick. It's everyone's favorite general-turned-rebel-turned-opera singer! Although now she's all fancy and nouveau!

Mini-description of details: Roses reference the opera scene, swords reference her ability runic, backdrop references the cliffs of the solitary island, and rounded border decorated with magicite.

Aaaaand...if you like the design, it's available as a shirt at my redbubble page! [link]

Loved your art-nouveau Celes! Great colors and design

Btw, I have a tumblr dedicated to FFVI: finalfantasyvi.tumblr.com . If you agree, I would like to post your fanart there, with all credits and links to your page here. Would you be okay with that? If not, I fully understand.

Thank you for asking permission! You are totally welcome to post it to your tumblr. I might have to start following it, given that so few people these days talk about FFVI! Thanks for wanting to share my illustration!

Thank you so much for the reply! I would be honored with your follow  
You would be surprised, tumblr have lots of people passionate about FFVI, just like us.
Ps: just noticed now, while posting your fanart, the magicite detail. Very cool!

It's simply stunning!
I like the composition and the way every element of this drawing is in place.

Thank you! It was my first real-go at nouveau compositions, so I can tell where I need improvement. But I wanted to make sure the design elements were deliberate!

You make me want a 2D Final Fantasy game done entirely in an Art Nouveau style. D: imagine how awesome that would look.

christadaelia In reply to grantsaylor [2012-08-13 15:20:14 +0000 UTC]

Um, it'd look pretty amazingly awesome! I've secretly hoped the old Final Fantasy games could be remade in Okami-style, so it looks like Amano's work. But I would keel over and die with happiness if they were nouveau!

;_; guh, I'd love a FF game that looked like Amano's artwork :/ his designs are so much more interesting compared to Nomura's.

I agree! Nomura is alright, but I've always been a bigger fan of crazy textiles than jumbo zippers!

What a glorious picture! I've never seen Celes depicted quite like this before. Very very well done.

Thank you! I'm always happy to get the seal of approval from the queen of FFVI! BTW, how are you doing, girly?

orinocou In reply to christadaelia [2012-08-01 23:32:47 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no, I am not the queen of FFVI. ^_^ I'm doing good; working hard for the love of art. My job involves me doing very humdrum tasks for most of the day; when I get home it's nice to sit down and draw.

Oh, I know the feeling! I just started a job (that I really love!), but it's a lot of repetitive data entry. It's fun using the left side of my brain at work so I can release all my creative energy when I get home! I'm glad to hear you're doing well!

Thank you! There are a couple of other characters I'd like to illustrate as nouveau, but Celes had to be first!
