Art Thread (Made by Players)

[Laguna Loire]

Just a Ventus edit here: I figured it would be nice if we had one Art Thread made for any art. Complete, incomplete, never going to be worked on again, old, new, all of it can go here -- as long as you made it (or collaborated to make it). Rather than have multitude of threads as we had last time, which somewhat got disorganized and abundant, why not have one single thread focused for the appreciation of art?

Good artist, not-so-good artist, come here, alike, give each other feedback and talk about what we have created. :3

I remember we had a thread like this before the restart to sorta encourage people to finish pictures. Figured I'd start it again since it's nice to also get feedback as you work on it.

I'm gonna start with this (explanation below):


Sailor Moon fans might actually recognize the sort of scene as a reference to Neo Queen Serenity sleeping in crystal. To be honest the whole dang thing is referenced from that because that's what Cosmos' icon made me think of xD I tweaked the anatomy as I saw fit (SM wasn't known for it's good art till later on) but I wanna see what people think before I decide the fate of this random idea. Any critique would be awesome also.

I mean we don't know where she is. She could be asleep in a crystal coffin XD Maybe in a cave?~ (Oho Scenario 000 reference~)

[Ventus]

Oooooo, I like it!

And I think a cave would be wonderful!

[Golbez]

Thanks!

It made sense to me xD Heck I sorta laughed when I remember the cave thing in 000 xDD

[Kuja]

Cosmos says she approves and likes this. XD

[Golbez]

Of course you would know P: Thank you!

[Garland]

Crystalised Cosmos? My! Wonderful Golbez! *Gives a sticker*

[Golbez]

If Laguna ever mentions his "pet project" or something about the "greatest weapon ever", he means this thing.

When he left Esthar he had barely any time to prepare for the trip. Grabbing what blueprints he could and making sure the rest burned so as to not fall into the wrong hands, he upped and left with his mind set on making Esthar grand again... Someday. One of the blueprints he managed to snag was the blueprint to his original machine gun (in this case it runs on energy, not bullets). This:



Deciding however that the original was way too obvious not to mention impossible to make in his current situation (for a more detailed understanding of why he's keen on staying out of sight read his psychological weakness on his profile), Laguna opted to use the blueprint as a basis and make his own. He is after all an inventor.

Figure it's a portable gatling gun with the first ever seen bullets. The blueprints called the energy casings "compressed high-speed projectiles" (CHSP) but Laguna found the name cumbersome. After staring at the blueprint stupidly one night he noticed that they were round and also seemed to brilliantly remember that they could probably stop a bull. For some reason both words combined and he got bullets out of it.

It's "trigger" is the crank on the right and he has to be careful not to overheat the thing, hence the gauge. It's also not as heavy as it looks. It won't be completed for a while but I figured you guys deserved a heads-up.

Quite the contraption there, Laguna. Very nice.

Alrighty, so I got FFIV: Complete Collection for Christmas and I've been playing it thus putting me in an FFIV mood.

This is the result (not perfect or anything, but I'm still pretty proud of it *nod, nod*) :

[Rosso]

Holy- Sorry for it being a huge file. Was not expecting that.

[Golbez]

I never know who to reply as... But thank you! <3

Also Rosso OMG! It's. So. Cuuuute! <3 Absolutely adorable! I have that game too (I pre-ordered it *is a derp but got the Cecil alt code in the process*)

....I actually haven't drawn much Final Fantasy other than the gun which was technically for school... It's all been Yu-Gi-Oh! XD But! I'll have a reason to! I'm about... Ummm... Two months and a few weeks away from Distant Worlds! >3< (I should so not be counting yet XD)

[Rosso]

No problem, dear. ^_^

Thanks! I'm more for drawing chibis I think...my normal style totally sucks. xD I didn't want to get his other alt just because it made me laugh too hard.

Ha, s'alright! I was counting the months down til Dissidia when it was coming out...geez, that seems like forever ago...

[Golbez]

I prefer chbis too actually. I don't really have a style persay 8| The alternate makes me laugh too but I'm trying to get as many of them as I can (I can't get Squall or Tifa's though ;3;)

I was doing that too xD But when you think about it, Duodecim came out in March 2011. It's almost been a year since then.
