Description I know, I missed the FF8 bandwagon by many years. This was a "commission" for someone's boyfriend's birthday. ^_^

Very interesting. It's good to see you trying different techniques. Not sure if I like it more than the old approach, but your new technique does have a nice feel to it.

I've been doing a lot of experiment in art lately... gotta mature my style some, I think.

That's definitely a good attitude. It can be easy to stagnate and fall into a rut, happens with everyone. The challenge is to keep learning and try something new.

Hah, I really should start listening to my own advice!

When I was unemployed, I had the least amount of inspiration. I think being motivated and doing projects is a good way to boost morale.

Yeah, I've noticed that. Well... I noticed once I finally got off my ass to do something.

There's something very fulfilling about the act of creation, even something as minor as a quick sketch.

You can't miss the bandwagon on a classic, classics live forever, their bandwagon sits there on the road out the front waiting for you and everyone else to jump on!

Hehe, well, as I grow up, I notice I do less and less fanart... probably because I play less and less games... and have less and less free time =/

HoiHoiSan In reply to RavensQuill [2008-07-02 04:31:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It's kinda sad though, this pose/theme/iconic imagery is overused when it comes to FF8. I guess that means it's a very well defined piece of work.

RavensQuill In reply to HoiHoiSan [2008-07-02 04:37:00 +0000 UTC]

It is over used a bit, but I think you did a wonderful job with it. And yeah.. I think you are right.

Dualmask [2008-06-30 15:35:04 +0000 UTC]

I love how you made the text appear kind of the way it does in the intro. And FF8 is my personal favorite one, so it's never too late for FF fan art for me!

That's a lot of F's...

HoiHoiSan In reply to Dualmask [2008-06-30 16:36:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, I haven't played FF12 yet... I've been thinking about drawing an FF11 Mithra, but haven't really felt the inspiration. I drew Lulu from FF10 in a swimsuit, no one in FF9 really interests me, and this is my first FF fanart in ages.

Though, I did get FF:CC-My Life as King for Wii... and Chime is REALLY cute. I'm waiting for the release of her summer outfit to do some fanart.

HoiHoiSan In reply to Lyra-hedgehog [2008-06-30 16:37:25 +0000 UTC]

I actually watched the intro and tried to match the fonts as best I could when I realized each font represented a different person talking. I can't figure which one is Squall and which one is Rinoa. Something tells me the serif font is Rinoa though... she seems more elegant.

Lyra-hedgehog In reply to HoiHoiSan [2008-06-30 16:53:53 +0000 UTC]

To be honest, i can't say i ever noticed a difference in the fonts even when i played the game, but there must be when you think of it since there are two people talking don't i feel thick for that? xD;

And yeah, you're probably right about the elegant part oo

Heh, that would be horrid if I secretly replaced the image with an animated gif and moved the words surreptitiously...

There's a PSP game coming with Squall in it... I wonder if Rinoa will be back. It looks like a huge Final Fantasy cross over fighting game...

JRinaldi [2008-06-30 03:35:43 +0000 UTC]

The name of that intro'd be 'Liberi Fatali'.

I think. I could be remembering wrong.

Anyways, Wang, man, you're still damn good at this!

I haven't "drawn" drawn in a while, but I still can. I do miss it, it just takes so much longer than my other artforms.

JRinaldi In reply to HoiHoiSan [2008-07-02 06:41:22 +0000 UTC]

Really? Me, it's all I ever can do to work in something other than straight pencil-and-paper media (I'll break out of the mold one of these days). I would think all those little effects you use when you do the photo-manipulations take a lot of time to get just right in Photoshop or whatever software you go with.

Maybe, though, it's just a matter of having become more deeply accustomed to it? I could see that happening with practically any medium.

Well, I use Photoshop all day as part of my job, so technically, it's on the job training

This scene's quite famous throughout gaming and FF history, so far as I think so. Nice job on the "cute" version of it!

I loved the intro sequence where this clip plays to an operatic soundtrack (God help me, I never found it's name!). FF8's also one of my favorites because it's the first one I played (no access to previous ones or associated game systems, and I thought the graphics kinda sucked.).

Don't mind me butting in and all, but i think the title you're looking for is 'Liberi Fatali' :3 i know, i adore that track too xDD

x19a In reply to Lyra-hedgehog [2008-06-30 20:47:38 +0000 UTC]

Not at all - I appreciate all the help I can get. However, someone told me it was something like "Sephiroth's (something)" from FF7 redone, so I never did find the actual title; this seemed to be true when I did manage to download it - the title was a match, but the songs themselves were totally different - unless it was titled "Final Fantasy VIII Theme" or something basic.
