Description I... I think I was dead and then revived!

I promise a lighter version as soon as I get a hold of this new technique I'm into.

It's supposed to happen in the middle of the day, not night!

First time using photoshop, you see

Sketch version can be found here [link]

Hope you like it

----
Fox McCloud is (c) Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo
Fara Phoenix is (c) Benimaru Itoh.

Translated fragment of the fanfic [hey! miracles do happen!]
Original version is in Spanish [link]

"Our stop is coming near, do you think you can jump on your own?"

"J-Jump!?" Fara hadn't realized until just then that the freight vehicle they were over, had elevated about a hundred feet over ground level. Nonetheless, Fara stood up the second she saw Fox doing so. A little shiver run up her spine, there were lines of hundreds of landfrees passing beneath them. She even heard sirens and helicopters at the distance, they'd catch them soon if they didn't jump".

"Fara, there's no time!" Shouted Fox, though every sound that came out of his mouth was muffled by the wind that crashed against his face.

Fara didn't have more time to keep thinking, nor answer the question she was asked, for Fox had already taken a run up and just as he was about to jump off, held Fara by her waist, catching Fara by surprise. When she collected herself once again, her feet were touching nothing more than thin air.

"Hold on to me. I promise nothing will happen to you if you do", said Fox in a light but determined whisper into Fara's ear. Fara did as she was told, almost in a state of daydream, she carefully surrounded Fox with both of her arms. In exchange, Fox did the same, holding her tightly against him.

For some strange reason, with this stranger, Fara felt more secure than ever. She closed her eyes and felt the way the wind and the gravity pulled them down. For a second, though, it seemed to her they were flying up instead of falling down.

Thus, with the autumn sun being nothing but a mere spot of light and heat in the zonian sky. Fox and Fara jumped in free fall to the most illuminated void.

Towards freedom".

Thanks! and yees! =o I just noticed the last "real" artwork I submitted here was... *gulp* almost a year ago! ~.~

ah, I've been doing fine. Just lots of studying and university stuff.. I'm on my winter break now, though! What about you?

dragonheart07 In reply to vixvargas [2008-07-19 23:03:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, tell me about it. Besides, let's all hope for a Starfox Wii any time soon since I'm sure it is in development. ^^

Wow! Is it really true?
I can't wait!!

dragonheart07 In reply to vixvargas [2008-07-20 15:53:55 +0000 UTC]

Yep. It is true. Even though it is in development, Nintendo themselves will hopefully reveal something on it either by later this year at the Tokyo Game Show(Oct. 9-12) or sometime early next year. We'll have to wait and see. But I have a feeling that it will be the next one for them to announce since Miyamoto himself has been talking about it since 2006 and in a interview he had last year, he was doing the first tests of it for the Wii. So as we speak it is still in development. I wonder what the new story in the next chapter will be about. ^^ But I look forward to it. Besides, it is one of their most popular franchises like Mario and Zelda(..since Miyamoto also created the Starfox series)and they can't ignore it at all. So hopefully by the next year and to come, we'll finally get the games that we truly want for hardcore gamers(..considering that Starfox is also a hardcore franchise). ^^ I'm still crossing my fingers for it. I won't give up on Nintendo and will remain loyal to them.

Beautifully done, like something out of an anime, even an anime cel. Can only imagine what you can do with the rest of the images. ^.^ Touching scene, but moreso when Fox takes a bullet, using himself to shield Fara.

it is my first time using photoshop. But I did have lots of previous practice with Corel Photopaint, which is very much like photoshop but less complex because it doesn't have as many features
