-----------------------

Aaaand I stink at titles okay.

BUT MOVING ON----

Wow I was actually able to finish this in 3 days. x'DDDDD And no- this is me not rushing anything this time around surprisingly. 8'D Tbh though, if I were, I'd be drawing just hours before the deadline. LMFAO-//KICKED//

ANYWAY-

Yeah. So the idea here was to actually do something similar to the artworks found around the Final Fantasy logos (the FF14 and Dissidia versions in particular) except with Ether characters. x'DDD Ended up developing a certain line work method I actually found really fun to do. 8'D Didn't expect it to get this big or detailed though. In fact, most of the details were just... Me guessing how to do the rendering half the time. AHAHA-

STILL. T'was fun guessing. //KICKED// And pretty proud of this since this is me trying a new art style again. x'D

Thanks to this thing though, I've come to notice how my artblocks work. It usually leaves me unwilling and demotivated to draw anything for DAYS that the feeling is horrible. Though it's strangely long enough that when it ends and I finally get back to actually doing anything art related, suddenly BAM- All the ideas come out, I can draw straight for hours, and a random feeling of improvement suddenly comes out. x'DD;;

It strangely happens to me all the time- every year. It's no wonder I've come to have love-hate feelings towards artblocks. Hate going through them, but love the after effect when it ends. 8'D Seriously though- thank goodness it ended. ;;;;

Aaaaand I think I rambled on for too long again. x'D



For anyone curious, I have a Black and White version to look at if you want to get a better view on the details.
Ether logo BW

Aaaaand I also madeΒ Desktop Versions (one with text even hehe) cause it looked cool enough to try it out HAHAHA

OH- And another thing. I hid my signature on each character just to watermark them in case of things. Try and see if you can find them all. //KICKED//

All the characters seen here belong to


Art belongs to me.

This piece turned out really great, Dante! ^^ The way you varied the thickness of the lines and the fact that you used so many different poses, makes the picture lively and dynamic and the details you put in make sure that the viewer discovers something new each time you look at it~

The style you used to make it look like a Final Fantasy logo turned out really cool!Β 

And thanks for drawing Meena! ^_^

Okay I freaked out about this the entire time you were working on this and showing wips so hopefully by now you know just how amazing this is

But just in case you don't . . . Β >BD

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOOKIT THOSE PRETTY LINES!!!! Such epic. Much awesome.
Everyone looks so cool |D I never though I was one for heavy black ink, loving delicate lines myself, but this just looks so dang sweet XD Super job~

Dante-Aran In reply to AealZX [2014-11-05 12:32:10 +0000 UTC]

LMFAO--- Welp- Definitely the freaking out helped push the motivation up even higher alongside a confidence boost- so thanks for that. x'DDDD
Tho I still think there are so many other people who can pull off the FF logo look better and more accurately HURR//KICKED

But yeah, usually I'm one for thin lines as well (at least for apps and other things), but it felt appropriate to use thicker lines here to add volume and definition to the characters and design. And thanks so much~~~ ;u;/

Tho of course everyone looks cool. They need to for their close ups. //SHOT

Hahaha XDD I'm glad it helped. *smothers you in all the motivation and confidence* >u<
pffff XDD hey for a first try I think it looks gorgeous |D

Yeaaah good choice >u< the thicker lines give good shadows and pick up more of the color. It looks better this way than with thinner I would think

Hahahaah XDD everyone pose for the camera~
