Description I wish it was not too late for Xmas! Merry Xmas everyone!
Cloud made a snow for Aerith (Do you know that he was holding a snow?)
*The background: When i drew this, I don't know what I should draw in the background. Some of my friends told me the idea and I tried to draw it out. But after all, it's like Vietnamese country (my home country), where we will never see a snow (that's why Cloud made a snow for Aerith). I tried to draw the Highwind, too! Can you see it on the sky?

*Water color like always and some brush from photoshop to look better. I wil submit the original if you want.

Oooh! Final Fantasy always gets my attention. Hehe.
It's such a delicate image, i love it. The characters are fantastic, the
tree is wonderfully drawn and beautifully coloured. And the background;
rolling hills and distant village, they work a treat.

I have really nothing bad to say about this picture at all.
Sorry i cant give you technical feedback (photographer speaking), but i'll try
and give you some of my observations.

That aircraft, is it meant to be the Highwind? Because it looks a bit like
a helicopter, which is still cool, but i was just curious.

The only other thing i would say is that i think the yellowy hues in the sky
are a bit to much. I really like the blues and whites. Yellow is a bit much maybe?

Good image though, love the concept.

Even so... I think they should stop making FF after FFXIII, the FFXIV looks so... I don't even want to know about it...

interesting. i can see how you would say that.
but i'm of the belief that if they keep going them well,
then i'm super excited to keep playing them.

hikarukaze In reply to hummerfisk [2009-07-23 03:09:53 +0000 UTC]

Marie's Gouache colour.
My friend gave me that one so I use it. It's made in China so it's very cheap.

What part of Vietnam do you live in? I have not been there yet, even though I am half--it looks like I imagined though. I like it a lot!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hikarukaze In reply to Inuyatta [2009-01-08 09:02:32 +0000 UTC]

You should visit Vietnam when you have time and money. I'm living in Hanoi, the capital.

Inuyatta In reply to hikarukaze [2009-01-08 09:10:33 +0000 UTC]

Maybe--do the older people still hate half-ppl like me? My cousins told me I might have to be careful around some of the older villages because some old people might have bad memories from seeing me. =o

hikarukaze In reply to Inuyatta [2009-01-09 10:36:39 +0000 UTC]

No... I don't think so. My parents like "half-blood", they think all of the "half blood" were beautiful.
Bad memories? I think those were the wars. I don't know, there's not many "half-blood". I think there was no reason to stop you come back Vietnam. Everything will ok, I think so.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Inuyatta In reply to hikarukaze [2009-01-09 18:00:46 +0000 UTC]

That's encouraging to hear (though I promise, not every half-blood is pretty, unfortunately ;-; ) XD.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was related to the war--bad memories are always related to the war, y'know. Still, if it's not such a big deal anymore, perhaps I'll be able to visit someday (maybe if airline tickets ever become cheaper? Also, I want to be fluent in Vietnamese again, but it's so hard! D.

hikarukaze In reply to Inuyatta [2009-01-10 08:44:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... I think not every half-blood is beutiful.
Uhm... But isn't the airline ticket for a trip to go to Vietnam very cheap? My friends said that it's cheaper than a ticket to go to Japan. '_'

Inuyatta In reply to hikarukaze [2009-01-10 09:30:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, not everyone is lucky. XD

...um. No. Not at all. Tickets to Japan or Vietnam are about the same price, depending on the time of the year--we're talking $1200USD minimum. -_-

I would love to know where your friends are getting cheap tickets! XD

hikarukaze In reply to Inuyatta [2009-01-10 09:35:12 +0000 UTC]

I haven't talk with her for a long time. But the Asian new year is coming, maybe the ticket will be cheaper.

Inuyatta In reply to hikarukaze [2009-01-11 06:30:17 +0000 UTC]

I wish it were so--the rates go up around holidays! Still, maybe I will be lucky and manage a trip to Vietnam in a few years!

You can come back to Vietnam by train or another way.
