Description ayla from Chrono Trigger with a butterfly for whatever reason. official art of ayla has her pale, i never agreed with that so i gave her a tan.
im so uncreative latley. too much hassle to draw actions haha

I talked to a Vietnam veteran today. he has one arm and is always on my bus, he called me beautiful, which is pretty nice of him.

ALSO a question;
would you rather i submit frequently (like twice/once a week in my terms) pictures like this (which i consider scrap- but still love), or submit infrequently, high quality stuff (which is actually low quality in the big picture haha)?
I always wonder this question. thought i may as well ask.

I fully support your skin tone choice. Isn't that what her sprite looks like anyway? I think the inclusion of the butterflies and Ayla's reaction to them really captures her spirit and personality. Good show!

When did this post? How did this beat my chrono trigger radar??? this is amazing! and by the way, I went years under-appreciating Ayla. Looking back I realize how awesome she is. Great job!

Cool! first of all, Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPGs of all time.
I love ur style... kinda reminds me of Disgaea artwork.

Thanks! I've never really paid much attention to Disgaea inspiration-wise but the art is awesome. And I agree, One of the best RPGs ever!

I really like this. I love the style, the soft colors and the thin lines.... I don't know, it looks so gentle.

I agree Ayla looks better with a tan and I like that her hair looks a little more messy and a little less "80's beauty salon style" than the original art.

thankyou! haha i could never put my finger on that hairstyle in the original art, 80s beauty salon fits is so freakin' perfectly.

Ayla definitely makes more sense with a tan! The colors are so soft and lovely! =3

Do the sort of pictures you love!

I tend to dislike the official art for Chrono Trigger, they just didn't do the characters justice. This, however, is marvelous! I like her much better with a tan. And it makes more sense game-wise, too.

Tbh, I love all your art, regardless of how scrap-worthy you think it is. I especially love how you colored this one~

Again I will demonstrate my loser-ish-ness by not knowing anything about this character or game, but still it's a lovely pic. The colours are so light and pretty, and her hair! OMJ so fluffy and soft looking. I wanna ruffle my hands all through it, lol.

I would like to see frequent arts, like this stuff, but still sometimes big mofos too. Like you might post a bunch of pics while working on another much bigger and detailed one. Dunno, that might be cool.

mintapple In reply to roonerspism [2009-10-28 13:33:56 +0000 UTC]

i'd love to submit fanart like this, and then make my big mofos of my original characters. that sits pretty well in my head haha

and thanks nadopo, i had such a massive mission to make that hair damnwell fluffy!

roonerspism In reply to mintapple [2009-10-28 15:09:55 +0000 UTC]

I think that sounds like a good idea. People will be kept happy with "ZOMG, that's that character I love!" while you can work on your own original pics for longer.

Fuck yeah Chrono Trigger!

You definitely did Ayla justice, she's well proportioned, and looks awesome in your coloring style.

Julia-Alison [2009-10-26 15:17:29 +0000 UTC]

I love these drawing from you! your art remind me of Yoshitaka Amano's work, it has a bit of nativity and cute-ness to it, with great colour schemes and character designs. I highly encourage you to post as much as you can!

or you can make bog? I just did so on Tumblr which seems pretty decent, then maybe you could share a bit more of your "crap" stuff and random character ideas, bios ect.

btw awesome drawing!

This is real cute, I love the shadows on her legs under her skirt.

You really need to do with your art whatever feels most fulfilling for you...I mean other people will enjoy your art more if you are enjoying it.
