Description ...always have a lucky roll.

In commemoration of reaching Corsair level 60.

I love that job, love the AF, and loved drawing it.
[link] Lovely tribute!

Took more hours to do the lineart than do the coloring. Gave cellshading another go, with a limit of 2 colors on top of a base color. Was quite challenging. Messed up with the lighting, though..

For the first time, Eirwen's necklace from her story Raven's Serpentine is featured in art form. Its pendant is a piece of amber, with a 4-leaf mandragora bud inside it, with one petal broken.

Holy Carbuncle!

Ha HA! We corsair's always seem to bring it to the table! >8D

This is great. I like how the character pops out of the background with the colors you chose. Great captions also.

I remember going to happy fanart land too when I got cor around that level! GOD my cor was a killing MACHINE (er, make that TP giving machine hurhur). I miss that job and smn the most of all. Anywho, great work on this one too. Kinda exploring some of your gallery. xD I like the cards and dice and other stuffage, gives sort of a down to earth feel to cor instead of magical stupid cards flying through the air. Yay!

Indeed, with a wide smirk on her face ^^
I just logged out after getting more ranged accuracy stuff for the job, as well as restocked on bullets and card, 'cuz I recently got some extra gil. Even bought my first 'higher than lv 41' dice roll - Wizard's Roll. Been broke for so long, and I would be broke again if I bought more than this all..

Other than that, effing great job!
And thanks.

All I need to do now is level RNG to 37, and I can go back to business. 15 darn levels

orz! You don't wanna know how I did it. It involved a lot of arrows, a lot of alone time, and a lot of worms in attowa chasm........... -_- Tho iirc, I did get one party I think, it was too dangerous for me to party, everything wants to hurt you when you shoot ridills.

I think I'll either get a SMN burn for it, or solo my way ._.
Depends on how lazy I am

LunaticStar In reply to dhkite [2009-09-30 07:50:49 +0000 UTC]

They invented the SMN burn thingy after I quit, but when I unquit this year for like, two days, I got like 8 levels on my SCH in one pop...it was pure sexy!! One day I'd like to try it ON smn though...barring lag. Ha!

And if you can 2box, it's slow but works... worms worms worms. zzzzzzz.

I do have a second account to PL me...

Ha! You should try being the puller/keeper. Me and a friend were pulling the mobs in Korroloka Tunnel, and to pass on the group of mobs to me, I had to cast C4 on her and go into rest mode. Only, this one time, I couldn't get up because of the lag and when Phalanx dropped, and stoneskin, and defender, and sentinel... a dead paladin layed there, trapped under dozens, if not hundreds of mobs. XD

Okay, I absolutely LOVE this. I love the details in the lineart, and with the background everything looks so cool! I like that the dice aren't white, and Eirwen's expression screams personality.

Also I wanted to point out the hands: I like how you drew them the size they should be, lots of people draw hands too small in this style, so kudos for that

dhkite In reply to DemonicTiphia [2009-08-26 21:38:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! *Eirwen-grin*

I usually draw hands too big, or like sausages, or... I prefer to draw mittens. In this case, I took a very close look at the reference picture

All right, this is screwy.

Your character is leveling all the same jobs my character leveled.

What's next, monk?

The best possible compliment I can offer is that looking at your Eirwen pics really bring the best feelings I have of FF XI out of me. You do such a good job capturing and emoting what is best about that game that it makes me want to come back and play the game despite S-E's fuckery. Taiso and Eirwen adventuring together at length would be great. Who knows, maybe someday...

dhkite In reply to Redfield70 [2009-08-26 17:06:22 +0000 UTC]

Heheh, I won't be touching Monk any time soon.
Dancer is first on my list of bringing to 60

Actually, it's quite a coincidence, though leveled for different reasons.

Never knew my art could grasp a person as much as it does to you. And that's one of the biggest compliment an artist can get. You'd best not look at what I'm currently working on then, since it has ingame friends in it, including you.

Monk... sounds cheap to level, though. Hmmm...

Redfield70 In reply to dhkite [2009-08-27 15:20:47 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind looking at FF XI fan art. My memories of the game itself are mostly good ones

I can't wait to see your next pic. Should be interesting, especially to see what situations you put the characters in.

As for leveling MNK, it's not an expensive job early on but once you hit 50, with the Cross Counters and how much they cost, you start to get a feel for just how pricey it can get. Luckily, Scorpion Harnesses have dropped sharply since the days when I was leveling the job so you won't have much trouble there. But, as with anything else, if you want the best you will pay through the nose;_;

Thanks for the compliment! Very appricated.

I cheated a bit with the hands, though.
And got lost in he darkness so now and then.
