Description
This is a commission piece for of her OC, Ishiki.She wanted her character sitting on a rock in the middle of the desert. Personally, I HATE deserts. XD (Whenever I got to the Bikanel Desert in FFX, I always get pissy and grumble about how much I hate it, and don't even get me started on FFXII which is practically just a huge desert). So I tried to make this desert as much un-desert-like as possible. XD
And it's funny I mentioned FFX, 'cause the colors and watery texture was inspired by that game (probably 'cause my brother was playing the game at the time I was working on this image). But it is a desert! I swear! XD
And GAWD I'm never coloring another rock AGAIN! ><
I hope you like it *semiblonde !!!

Interesting desert. The colors and textures give it a cool desert feel, if such a thing is possible. XD Anyhoo, I like how you used a bit of aqua for the shading and the character is drawn very well. The rocks look pretty darn nifty too. Color more of them.

But thank you!

This looks so cool! I love the soft colors, and the way you did her shading. Everything looks so soft and dreamy, it's very soothing and pretty~ Though I like how you made her eyes more solid, and how they stand out. Looks great!

That is the best desert ever!!! I live in a desert and I hate it. D: But if it looked like this I would want to live here forever.
But yeah, love the colors as well. They are so soft and pretty. Awesome job on this.

I'm glad you derived inspiration from FF! Since she is pretty much a FF OC (Advent Children, but fff)
I LOVE the colors. I was expecting something more solid, than dreamy, but I effing LOVE the dreamy feeling the colors give.
They all blend very well! Thank you sososo much <3

I loooove the colours in this! And the character looks really cool! This is a really interesting take on a desert but I can see it 
I'm replaying FFXII right now and I can totally agree.... there's so so much desert! I really don't mind though

Thank you!
I'm replaying FFXII myself. @_@ I'm near the beginning-ish at Giza Plains, where it's NOT a desert, so I am at ease. XD

o,o Ohhh, it has this mystical vibe behind it. I like that you went for a dusky setting and I really like that you kept with the colour scheme throughout the piece.
The character looks good, especially the armour and clothing wise. But I really like how she's staring off into the distance/gazing out.
^w^ You really did well with this!!

Thank you! >w< The color scheme was actually somewhat difficult to work with (shading-wise), but I'm glad you think it looks okay!

I really love the armour outfit that Ishiki's wearing as well as her hair.
She looks really wonderful from the way how you drew her!

Thank you!
But now I'm craving cotton candy. ><
I don't know what it is about deserts... they just rub me the wrong way. :\
Maybe 'cause I associate deserts with hot and miserable. XD
