YAYY! YURIKA LIKES IT IT MUST BE GOOD. 8D

Yeah. I really should, but I was like, "If I add anything more, I will get carpal tunnel, and my head will explode. And I am too much of a procrastinating idiot to leave and do something else, because it will never get done then." So I... kinda... scrapped any shading. *fails*

YAY THANKS!!!!!!(haha shift-one.)

Thanks! I really am glad you like it. (as shown by my overuse of exclamation marks.)

Haha, mostly those days were just me mashing the keyboard in frustration at my non-existent understanding of perspective, lighting, proportion, and... like, everything. XD

AHH DON'T SAY SCHOOL I DON'T WANNA GO. *sobs*

Rafiraga In reply to Zairal [2007-11-25 04:48:59 +0000 UTC]

I imagine that if Hojo survived entering the lifestream there'd be a line of people waiting to beat him up, daily. Seph, Zack and Aeris (and perhaps Ghast and Lucretia) would get first dibs, though. I mean, the man is a /freak/! And not in the good, hey-check-it-out-im-the-onewingedangel way, either. He didn't deserve his comeback in DOC.

Hey look, I ramble! whoo.

Yes, I am quite serious, Zairal-chan~! I'd love to do a collaboration with a talented artist such as yourself if you aren't too busy? YOU are the flawless one! fact: You can do BACKGROUNDS! And not frippy backgrounds, either - it's just SPLENDID! I can't tell you how much I adore your art! Could we start after the 26th?

Alright!

So, how are we gonna do this? Just pass the picture back and forth?

And, we're doing Cloud, is that right?
Or should we draw someone else with him?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tharshinaa In reply to Zairal [2007-11-27 02:20:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, one of us could draw the pic, then post it here on dA (either under paintings or scraps ) so that the other can fav and copy it into her computer and paint it from there! What do you think, Zairal-chan? It's the best idea I could come up with since we're both on the far ends of the world~!

Yes, dear, CLOUDY! I'm not sure about someone else, would you like that? We could always try to add a Vincent ... somewhere, like you said you wanted to in your drawing.

Zairal In reply to Tharshinaa [2007-12-01 06:30:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that sounds good! So would you rather start the picture or should I?

Either way is good with me. And Cloud is great!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tharshinaa In reply to Zairal [2007-12-02 07:33:29 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, tough question. You're so good at drawing AND colouring, so if you started it the picture would look nice, but if I drew it and you coloured it, it would STILL look nice. Hmm...what to do, what to do? Perhaps you could colour it - your skills are truly splendid, really!! Is that OK?

Oh, is anybody else going to be with Cloud? Do you like Tifa? Or Aeris?

Zairal In reply to Tharshinaa [2007-12-04 00:08:39 +0000 UTC]

Aha, okay! I'll do my best! <3

Er. I like Aeris? Maybe if I draw Aeris, you draw Cloud, and we color each other's drawings?

I've got to say, i'm inlove with the backround! It's just so much fun, and suiting. :3 It's probably the best part ever! Though sleeping Cloud is of course darn tootin adorible. That backround must of been what took you so long, huh? D: Killer, right? feels like a hand cramp just thinking about it.
But it sure is awesome! <3 <3

Zairal In reply to torriecat [2007-11-24 16:08:05 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thanks! Yeah, my version of perspective is usually, "Just slap a few lines in the middle and it's done! YAY!" So actually trying was pretty hard. >>;;
*really shouldn't be in advanced art*

Yeah. But the stained glass was hilariously fun. 8D

Thanks for taking the time to comment, it means alot.

Aw, this is a beautiful picture.

Which makes me feel really bad to point this out...

The ribbon and the sleeve are on the reverse arm on which they're supposed to be.

*feels bad for pointing it out* But other than that, this is a gorgeous picture!! <3
