Description 100 Themes Challenge - 22. Mother Nature

This was done under the request of . I hope the final result is satisfying. As for me, I encountered some frustrating problems, mostly due to the fact that the picture was so complicated my PC could barely handle it. I had also made some mistakes during the earlier stages that turned out to be very unforgiving later~ But at least I learned something from them. Anyway, yay for another accomplishment. It feels freaking wonderful!

As usual, rough version and closeups are available here , here and here .

Great background and everything else is great in here as well!

Like the picture. But What exactly are Kefka and Terra doing together? Is there a story behind it?

Firstly, thank you for liking and taking interest in it! XD

To answer your question, I drew this for , who -after seeing this - requested a semi-similar pic but with Terra and Kefka. "Each dissidia parring, a hero and their villan, relaxing and hanging out together in a calm setting" is his exact words. So no, unlike the first version, this doesn't have any meaningful story behind.

thiencna In reply to Ixbran [2009-02-28 20:12:01 +0000 UTC]

Actually it was done using Illustrator, thus making it a vector painting. XD

I'm happy you like it.

Ixbran In reply to thiencna [2009-03-01 22:28:41 +0000 UTC]

its cute

: )

if you dont mind my asking

thiencna In reply to Ixbran [2009-03-02 05:20:54 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind either, but I figured people preferred green-haired Terra to the other, judging from the complains I had heard when blond Terra was announced for Dissidia. That and admittedly, I don't like her stockings much. XD

Ixbran In reply to thiencna [2009-03-02 20:08:02 +0000 UTC]

i think she looks beautiful with eather blond or green hair

Honestly i dont see why people would complain. Terras art designs for FF6 depict her as blond, she only had green hair in FF6 so shed stand out from the rest of the cast of the game

but your choice, the art is absolutly beautiful, loves it

Once again, drooling over your backgrounds.

Kefka's face looks a li'l... I dunno. I'm thinking there's something a tiny bit off. I can't tell if it's the face or the way the hair balloons out. However over all, magnificent piece.

(and yes, I'll get to writing - I need a break from 14 hour days at work to sit down with The Black Cauldron to pummel Sora to pieces, darn it all!)

It's all right. In fact, I wholly agree with you, seeing as when I was working on it, I didn't know how he would - should look in that scene either. Unlike Squall and Ultimecia, I couldn't get into their heads and was unable to get the right expressions. Yeah, that includes Terra too, however on a less noticeable scale. Gah! As if their multi-layered clothings weren't enough trouble already. I'm so happy going back to drawing Squaller now~
