...*beam*

I've been playing Final Fantasy X a lot lately. I picked it back up out of nowhere and realized I was very close to the end, so I worked at getting ultimate weapons, spells, and all that jazz. I got to the final boss and decided I would draw this. Anyone who knows me well will know that I propose plenty of pictures but hardly ever come through. Well, I went to ~gracifer's house and started a new game with her (she'd never played it before) and when I left, I was motivated to go finish the game. I beat it Sunday night (I definitely cried...the whole shebang, tears running down my face and everything--not just getting choked up, though I experienced that, as well). I guess you could say I did this picture in commemoration. I really, really wanted to draw it once I had beaten the game.

And here it is. All several hours' work of it, in its 11x14, bigger-than-scanner, requiring-Photoshop-to-piece-together-4-seperate-scans glory. This picture took a new inking pen and made it one of those ones that works fine but scratchily doubles the line every once a while. But I really couldn't be happier, because I think it looks great. ^^

Auron, Braska, and Jecht (left to right) fighting an Adamantoise in a place that looks suspiciously like Omega Ruins. I guess it could be, though I don't think they every went there. Whatever. I will NEVER draw an Adamantoise ever again. I digress.

Done with Micron inking pens (just .005 this time) and piecing together in Photoshop.
