Description Famous last words: "An oekaki wallpaper! That sounds fun!"

I have no idea how long this took, and I left the window open forever so the timer's off on the board, too. probably 5+ hours. I always thought that area would make a cool wallpaper, so I decided to do an oekaki version to see if there was any way I could pull off the Zanarkand ruins. All things concidered, I think it turned out pretty well. I learned a lot from it, anyway. I don't think I've ever put this much detail into a background before. I'm kinda proud that I only spent about 20 minutes on Tidus and Yuna. I mean, they're kinda the focus, but I tried to leave them rough so they'd fit in with the rest of it.

I think it looks kinda neat non-full view although the full version obviously shows more detail (And, since it's 600 x 800, I suppose it could technically be used as a desktop. I wouldn't use it, though )

Animation can be viewed at my board -> [link] And the version without the lighting effects is in my scrapbook -> [link]

Why is it I keep missing so much of your awesome Yuna x Tidus art? This is so freaking beautiful, especially the background, very well done, especially with the colors. Yunie and Tidus look so cute

Zanarkand is such a great place to do FFX and X-2 artwork. Just something about the enviroment makes the picture so special. It really shows in this one! Plus, the detail is great, the sun set is gorgeous, and Tidus and Yunie are adorable! Great job!

Oh that's really nice and you can tell that it took you a long time to do it. The details in it are really amazing. But, you were always good with details. I really dig this pic. I love the overall effect of the lighting. It's really really nice.

Making Yuna and Tidus not so detailed is appropriate for this. And I really admire the way you colour them. (you know I always like you works )

O_O! Wow! I could never do oekaki for that long. Mostly 'cause my computer would freeze up, secondly 'cause I'm not as good as you. My new wallpaper

Jessami In reply to hawaiinn-art [2004-05-16 03:32:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I got out of the habit of doing oekaki because my comp kept eating them, but now I'm getting back into it. Thanks so much for the fav! I'm honored that you'd actually use it
