DieChan (Oct 8, 2005)

Dammit. Why can't I make pretty artwork? I love this... makes me wanna go back to the beach. :3

Mal (Oct 8, 2005)

Looks great so far , cant wait to see the finished picture :o)

Anna (Oct 9, 2005)

Fantastic clouds :-)

davincipoppalag (Oct 9, 2005)

Really terrific clouds there, I agree!

Gigandas (Oct 9, 2005)

Crappp, and you're only 12??? I don't think I coulda done this well back then. Don't give up, even if it doesn't turn out how you want it the first time, it's good practice. I'll be looking for the finished picture. Good luck with it :).

I made some slight revisions

woah_pockster (Oct 9, 2005)

woahhhh it looks amazing :00 I feel like such an amature compared to you xD great job xiau <3

Gigandas (Oct 9, 2005)

Wow, you really impress me. That water is looking better and better. I suggest that if you can, you should sharpen up the details and shapes on the surface of the water so it looks even more like liquid. But this is definitely getting really good...keep going :)!

NemesisT (Oct 9, 2005)

This is lovely :) great choice of colours, way to go !

Kuzul_the_dogrider_cless_pwns (Oct 9, 2005)

AWESUM! its really good ... i like the sunsetty feel! nice realism!

xiau (Oct 9, 2005)

Thanks so much everyone!~
And thanks for the tip, Gigandas! I'll be sure to try that :)

nekodesu (Oct 9, 2005)

jeebees O_O That is awesome. I really love the sky in there.

SneakyWalter (Oct 9, 2005)

A pretty sky. Puts me in a pondering mood.

I'll add shading and fix her clothes and stuff. I also need to add her wand.

anarie (Oct 10, 2005)

:3 I would never have guessed it was from FFX. I love this scene too. Which reminds me, I must beat the game soon. xD I can't wait to see this finished.

Pakasutemanshikuka (edited Oct 10, 2005)

i can't find the way to understand how you draw so good -_____- i'm getting so pissed off.
buuut, this looks gorgeous. the colours are very pretty and it looks so real..

JK-Arts (edited Oct 10, 2005)

I knew right away that it was from final fantasy 10 when i saw it. that game was too easy thought and it sux when i got all my charactors maxed our around the spear grid and that some of them monster in the calm lands (monster collector dudes place) are imposible. i still, think the best one was FF7.

I can't believe your 12years old i envy your skill.

woah_pockster (Oct 10, 2005)

wherroooeee I can't wait to see it when it's finished! <3

and there's no way she can be 12. D: I'm 18 and she's way better then I am. *dies* In fact, there really are many exceptional artists of all ages. bahh I feel so noobish xD

Kuzul_the_dogrider_cless_pwns (Oct 10, 2005)

she IS 12 .....i know her irl!

hideyourface (Oct 10, 2005)

the girl's center of balance seems to be off. the feet should ine up with the head, or else it looks like shes tipping over.

xiau (Oct 10, 2005)
drawn in 1 hour 15 min

Gigandas (Oct 10, 2005)

That's definitely not a bad first attempt. And for your age (and experience), this is very impressive :). If you keep this up at where you are now, who knows what you'll be capable of later on. Sure there are things that have room for improvement, but you'll probably notice them as you practice. Great job, xiau :). I'm glad you didn't give in and pulled through.

xiau (Oct 10, 2005)

Thanks to everyone!! Thanks for all the comments!
And thanks so much Gigandas~ You watched almost every revision and commented, and gave me tips on the water (although I still didn't do it that well!)

Boichi (Oct 10, 2005)

I love Yuna. She's awesome. Do one of Rikku next. ^_^

SneakyWalter (Oct 11, 2005)

You really do have a special ability there. I believe you have the skill it takes to be an amazing artist someday.

P.S. Which Final Fantasy was online-only?

Rosemary (Oct 11, 2005)

wow this is just wonderful...

Gigandas (Oct 11, 2005)

hideyourface (Oct 11, 2005)

I really like this picture, the sunset and clouds look great, and the water, while, it doesn't look exactly like water, I still like the flowing kind fo feel you get from it, and all the colours you used in it. The only things that bother me are, again, it looks like shes slightly tipping over, and the tree on the left could use more shading.

Yuugi-chan (Oct 11, 2005)

Very nice. I like the water and you're so much better than me (and younger too!)! ^_^

emmamommalag (Oct 11, 2005)

This is beautiful.. I love the water. :)

xiau (Oct 11, 2005)

Thanks so much to everyone!~ I'm so glad that someone appreciates my artwork (if you can call it that)

woah_pockster (Oct 13, 2005)

xaiuuu the coloring iss greattt but now to criticize a bit :D

The upper arms look a bit too round, perhaps tone them out a bit and make it more shapely? Also, I think the wood and the tree could use a bit more detail to go with the overall picture :D

I love youuu :D <3 xD

darkwings45 (Oct 13, 2005)

omg this is soooo good!!!!!! *bows down to ur greatness*

JK-Arts (edited Oct 13, 2005)

I think She missing a hand. and i'm almost certian that if the sun/light is coming from the right to outward. then the shadow would be to the left. That aside Great picture great coloring and detials and i don't think any one realized what i just pointed out anyway.

xiau (Oct 13, 2005)

>_> Yay! Critisism! Very helpful, thank you all :3
I haven't gotten much critisism on this. Besides by hideyourface, anyways. Critisism is helpful, but not the "OMG THIS SUCKS NEVER DRAW AGAIN" kind. Thanks for the tips!

woah_pockster (Oct 16, 2005)

rofl xiau I love you. :D <3 U B GUD @ A.|2.+ <3 :]

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Oct 17, 2005)

This is stunning, and you are... TWELVE? Twelve years OLD? Ok I'm gonna take my crayolas and leave now. Keep it up, darlin.. you have talent.

BlitzCloud (Oct 25, 2005)

Anywhos... Thanks so much everyone X3

Mal (Oct 25, 2005)

It turned out very well , well done Xiau!

bavarian-empire (Oct 25, 2005)

i like the colors n lighting, but the pose of the girl is totally wrong, she looks like piece of stone or somethin, very undynamic and shes also in he middle of the pic which always looks shit( i ve lerned this in school so sorry if my critic hurts) ; P
anyway, good job so far but i would cdefinetly change the girl

xiau (Oct 25, 2005)

Eh, whatever, I'm done with this one. And that's where and how she was standing in the ref, so I just left it. But thanks for the tips!

BlitzCloud (Oct 25, 2005)

i disagree bavarian, the pose is right, considering her arms are not relaxed, she just finished a move, and about centering the picture doesnt look like shit, not always, and less if its contrasted.

Do you really think her figure would be so impactant if she was in a corner or something?

Deborah_Angelheart (Oct 26, 2005)

OMG this is amazing! the water and sun are just.. AMAZING!! I love your work ^^ like the Daisuke more but thats just becouse I love DN angel (especially Dark:p)

kiketsu (Nov 12, 2005)
