Description Silly title. Squall + lightning = thunderstorm. XP

It's been a long time since I drew any FFVIII. I was inspired by watching the FF Dissidia trailer. There's a scene where Squall lowers his gunblade from the stormy sky. I just thought it was cool. He would probably get electrocuted though. XD

I don't really like his Yuna-esque skirt in Dissidia, so classic FF8 gear it is.

Drawn in SAI (before I forget the idea).

Really nice. I've been missing some good Squall fanart lately. I really hope that you colour it.

And yeah.. I agree... His Dissidia shirt makes his chest look... like a girl's chest.. if you know what I mean xD

Hmm, well I just don't like those random pieces of fur that he has on him and the weird skirt.

Haha, right, right!
Maybe they felt guilty because Terra was the only female in the Cosmos team, so they tried to afeminate some of the characters to not make her feel lonely.
And same about poor Bartz Klauser, with that tank toop with a very low neckline and those tight trousers that look like tights and, consequently, make his lioncloth look like a skirt

I haven't played Dissidia nor FFV, so it looks all right to me. Most of Amano's designs tend to be a bit girly, to me anyway.

and it is the best outfit they've ever designed for him, i cant see why they insist in ruinin it..

love the sketch, can't wait to see it finished. perhaps the gunblade might be a bit short?

Yea, it's one of those iconic outfits, like Sephiroth's. :3

I thought about the length of the gunblade. Maybe it's foreshortened slightly? Since we are viewing him from a low angle.

that could be it, i cant draw perspective to save my life so im not a great help here.. just seemed a bit off this morning, but i must still have been trying to wake myself up heheh..

when you colour it, if you do, it'll come out alright. since it's still lineart it's hard to tell these things..
anyways, great job

Hm, ok. Maybe I should taper the gunblade more then. I worked on this without perspective guidelines, so you could have a point there. Hopefully it gets coloured sometime this century. XP

LOL. I just suddenly want to draw Squall crack after digging up my old sketch of him in a dress. XD

I've only watched my sis play part way through FF8. We've only ever finished FFXII between us.
