 LI3K OMG 4D\/3|\|7 C|-|1|_DR3|\|!!1one 1 C4|\|7 |/\|@17 F0R 73|-| 1337|\|355!!!!!!!!! |-|0R|\||_355 |-|0R|\||_355!! Yes, well, anyway. For those of you who can't speak 1337, I can't WAIT for Advent Children, I'm all kinds of freaking out. These are my three favorite guys from Final Fantasy VII, all Advent Children style! *giggles* They're in left-to-right order of my favoritism--Reno's first, then Cid (who I really didn't think I'd like), and Vincent. It's a close race really, but that's how it boils down. I would have submitted them all seperately, but I would have submitted them in the order I did them (same order as favoritsm) and I didn't want just one to be on my main page (until I upload something new). I love all three of them! So here they are, all three of them. If anyone wants the wallpaper version (it's smaller), tell me and I'll put it up in scraps. Okay. This picture was basically an experiment in light sources (I'm using them now, yay!!) and colored shadows/highlights. Like Vincent. Red fabric with blue shadows is the biggest pain EVER. In fact, Vincent took the longest of the three (all this morning--I started CGing it around 11, I think, and I finished around 3:30...augh, my neck really hurts...) because I couldn't just use dodge and burn--I had to paint in the blue and use opacities and variations...and all sorts of stuff. Cid wasn't too bad, I just had to make the light source really bright (actually, it was his drawing that was the worst part--good LORD he's hard to draw correctly). Reno was the easiest. I really don't know why. I did do a colored shadow technique on his skin, though, and I think it turned out really well. Finally, many of the colors were taken from Advent Children screenshots--like some of the skin tones, some of the hair colors, and some of the clothing. I'm sure, if you've read this far, you know what I'm about to say, but I will say it anyway. I'm incredibly, incredibly proud of how these turned out. *beams* Alright, I'm finished. Reno, Cid, and Vincent all belong to Squaresoft |

My cat drank the Buddha water!
The artwork is really cool, and it is soooooo sharp and clean. The values are great and the way they contradict each other is something even better - which doesn't happen by accident. I especially like Valentine's coat is flawless. The soft, velvety texture and FANTASTIC shadowing and color contrasts knocked me onto the floor. The really bright light on Cid Highwind's pannel provides a bright sunshine-throught-the-clouds-at-noon look. Reno's suit looks like a thousand-dollar crushed velvet suit, and the night stick looks truly deadly, plus the ghost white skin fits him to the T.
I hafta disagree with you on how cool Reno of the Turks is. Sure, he looks really cool--skinny pasty redhead in a suit and night stick, but I always found his fights to be really easy. Assault on the Sector 7 Pillar was too easy, as all he did was stick you into a pyramid. Reno and Rude the next couple of times was a joke. The (optional) turks fight in the Shinra building on the third disc was no problem at all. Now, I know his fights aren't probably whay you like him, but I had to throw that out there. All I know is that Sephiroth in his big black coat and frigin looooooooong *long* Marasume is undoubtedly the coolest game character ive ever seen.
Anyways, back to the original subject. Are the line marks on the ground grass? It looks like tall grass. But anyway, this piece is indescribably beautiful. I've seen all of your artwork online, including on nirvanaraeven, and I hafta say this leaps and bounds above most of the other work. :beams: You really should be proud of this. If you publish this quality of workto the media and public, you will go beyond the stars.

Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: [pause] .........These go to eleven.
Thank you SO much for this comment, it's such a great thing to read right before bed--you know, end your day on a high note--and it's really appreciated. *blush*
You're right; his fights aren't why I like him. X3 In fact, I agree with you on that point. Haha, ironically, the other day (when I decided to pick up FF7 again after, like, a year's absence) I was talking about Reno and how he's my favorite, but that his fights were disappointingly easy. In his defense, though, I like his animation for casting Pyramid. ^^ Oh, and if you like Sephiroth that much, you'll be happy to know I'm working on a picture of Sephiroth in a similar style as these three. *grin*
Um, the line marks are part of the border for each picture (I think that's what you're referring to). ^^ Again, thank you so much.

Squeenix complaints aside, and STILL not knowing what the HELL "Pyramid" did in FF7 but look cool, very good tribute to the guys. I loved Reno and the turks. :-/ Though the battles were crappy, even the last one was a pushover, the characters were just well, cool. Guys in suits with guns. COOL. Heheh. Cid was hard to like. Maybe cuz of the way he treated women. XD But it was amusing nonetheless. Vincent, I am slightly ashamed to say, is my favoritist character EVAR and I was such a fangirl for him for the longest time. I still think he rocks, and has the best and saddest side-story. Yeah so Barette's ARM got blown off. Whoopie freaking doo. Vincent got FROZEN by EVIL crazy people and his girl was tortured and he could hear the screams. That's profound. Okay. I'm going back into fangirl mode. Ughhh. Must be normal. >_<
Yeah. Cool lighting - SUPER cool suit ACTION on Reno - both his and Vin's panel are great. Cid seems a bit off, maybe the lack of profound background, and his torso seems a bit teeny for the popeye arms. ^^ Look foreward to seeing your Sephiroth rendition. Keep up the good work. Your style is unique and therefore rocks more than people's styles that are not as unique.
Yeah rock out whatever. o_o
Sorry if it double posts. DA is being a pile of llama dung.
