Description Here's a pic of the Solidor brothers together X3

I imagine Vayne as being about 19 and Larsa at age 4. (This is according to the assumption that Vayne is 27 and Larsa, 12 at the time of FFXII.)

Just sharing a quiet moment while Larsa draws with his crayons on his brother's desk (like the one seen in the ending, I guess Larsa inherited that bigass table from Vayne XD). The papers that Vayne has on the right are probably those orders he signed to dispatch his other brothers' executions. And that's my explanation for his wistful face as he watches his younger brother doodle something innocent, but all the things Vayne puts on paper are for the sake of ambition; hence the title.

Phew, long explanation, but just trying to explain the whole scenario.

I tried to make Vayne less old by reducing the number of wrinkles XD And overall softening his features. I also made his hair shorter and edited his armour a bit 8DD No stupid bat wings... they could poke lil' Larsa's eyes out...
Tried to draw Larsa some decent kiddie versions of his current shoes, but failed, that's why that part is left sketchy. The whole piece was just to focus on their facial expressions (took a long time to get Vayne's right, hope it was worth it!).

Done in pencils on 100gsm paper and edited in OC4Plus and PSP7.


Strangely... I drew this on a continuous loop of Justin Timberlake's Sexyback and Crazy Rainbow Star (OP opening) @_@

I love how soft everything looks in this picture. They both look realistic, not at all like video game characters.

Poor Larsa, he's such a sweeetie, but so much nonsense happens to him. ;_; That is probably why I like this pic so much, because he seems so happliy unaware of what is going on.

Anyway, they both look awsome. You accomlpished the expressions that you wanted.

Larsa is so adorable in the picture. As for his age I had thought he was 15 or 16 for awhile too. But then i decided he was about 12 or 13.

I thought in-canon Larsa is 12? I can't remember where I read this...

Read description, and wow. X3 Just nothing to say, since my sister is the one playing FFXII. XP

Still a fave though. Soo inosent~ (And LOL once I get to see the "drawings" on those papers. X3)

Aheh... thanks for actually reading it! I spent some time thinking of the scene and stuff. I haven't actually played FFXII myself but went through the FMVs on youtube and read up on fansites, so I guess that kinda qualifies?

He's probably drawing his brother XD Stick figure style.

This came out awesome. But I think Larsa was more along the lines of 15 or 16 in ff12. He seemed too tall and grown up to be 12.

Firnheledien In reply to DragonDarkFire [2007-04-16 21:01:04 +0000 UTC]

Well, the official guides say he's 12, so I'm going with that. 16 would be something like Vaan... And he's been brought up to rule since an early age so that kind of maturity wouldn't be that surprising.

DragonDarkFire In reply to Firnheledien [2007-04-16 21:52:52 +0000 UTC]

I guess so. I think he LOOKS older than 12. I never looked at their ages in my guide. Vaan looks like he should be 17 or 18 in my opinion. Oh well. I do agree about the maturity thing though. It just seems odd to make such a large age gap between Larsa and Penelo/Vaan. Ashe is about their age too. Then there's another big gap between them and Balthier/Basch. ^_^ And we know that Fran is at least what 80? Haha but we all love our hott bunny girl!
