Description Ohmygod, I lovelovelove this so much!
It's not often that I feel really proud of something that I draw. This is definitely an exception. I think I'm getting a lot better at oekaki!
The colors make me really happy.

I can't seem to stick with a style, but I think I'll go with this one. :]

I posted this on the day nine years after the 9/11 terrorist attack. I realized that Yuna's speech at the end of FFX, which inspired this drawing in the first place, could have been taken out of context and used for this situation.

"Everyone, everyone has lost something precious. Everyone here has lost homes, dreams, and friends ... Working together, now we can make new homes for ourselves. And new dreams. Although I know the journey will be hard, we have lots of time. Together, we will rebuild ... The road is ahead of us. So let's start out today. Just, one more thing. The people and the friends that we have lost (or the dreams of Fayth). Never forget them."

Bulbagarden Oekaki description:

Yaaaay, I finished! I'm so proud of this! DDD

I watched the ending of Final Fantasy X: [link]
And it literally gave me the chills. I felt really cold afterwards. So I felt like I had to draw something related to it. But I also hadn't drawn anything nice here in a little while, so I decided to do this. ^-^

Timer's lying. The amount of time I take on pictures is really important to me, so I actually wrote down the times that I was working on this. It actually took about 6 hours and 45 minutes. I think it's obvious that I can't finish a picture in one sitting. I left this open overnight.

Time: Timer says 24h 42m, but it actually took 6h 45m.

Edit: Nin on the Bulbagarden Oekaki reminded me that I forgot to color in the cord on her obi. So I fixed that. :3

Also, I noticed that this is kind of a picture combining the gaming interests of my brother and myself. He likes Final Fantasy, and I like Pokemon. Maybe I should send this to him for his birthday?

Oh, and by the way, just because I want to avoid future controversy--I did NOT trace this. I am completely against tracing and I think it's stupid that the rules were changed to allow it. I drew this using [link] as a reference by eye. I don't think it's even possible to trace anything on oekaki.

This is pretty amazing! I'd have to admit this is the first time that I have seen Final Fantasy Fan Art here on DeviantArt.

The dress, the hair and the the orbs floating around Yuna are just like the ones on the back of the Final Fantasy game! Great job on that!

The work on the misty stuff underneath Yuna is a little sloppy but keep going at it! You were going somewhere with it I thought before clicking on the picture that it was so realistic!

Plus this is my first critique so if it's a little short I apologize.

Wow, you're really fast.. I JUST requested critiques for this picture. xD

Thanks! I really wanted this to look like the original art. I'm glad it worked out okay.

I do agree about the water. I think that was the last thing I did when I drew this, and I just wanted to be done with this picture. Plus, water is difficult to me. I'll have to practice with it. :]

No problem! This is the first critique I've gotten with the critique feature, so thanks so much!

Well you said you wanted feedback so here's my attempt at feedback. Perhaps a bit of a blur on some of the edges might make it a tad more realistic, but other than that great work!!!

You're an amazing artist too. :3
This only looks good because I used a reference, so I knew the pose and I knew where to shade.
