Description
Took me a long time lol, but heres my recent FF fan-art, depicting Yuna from Final Fantasy X performing "The sending" an act that summoners such as Yuna herself do to send away pyreflies ( those pretty glowing spirits, which may be loosly based on one of Japans ancient traditions involving free spirits depicted as fireflies ) in order to let them go to their final resting place, if not, then the beauties can potentially grow jealous of the living, and turn into more irratating enemies that caused me to drop out of the game ( yeah, I'm pathetic, hopefully this here makes up for it lol ).Once again, like most of my fan-art, it was referenced from a small, low-quality screenshot from a video lol, some may recognise this scene from the game too, the pose, angle and sunset lighting in this exact frame made for a dramatic and beautiful scene I just had to draw, even though I knew it would be hard
Oh, and before you start cheering on how I learned to make custom watermarks, I havn't, this version just has it saved on the actaul image, which is no problem as fan-art can't be sold as prints anyway 
I got a similar themed fan-art with Rikku too [link]

The colours and details in this piece are amazing. Your painting style mirrors realism, the skin tone just looks so real. The water bubbles look fantastic as well, I assumed you used a brush and didn't draw each one individually?
The obi is a real focal point as well, it just looks so perfect <3

Thanks, Skin can be incredibly hard to get realistic...I think the dim sunset lighting mad eit a bit easier here

This is just astounding! 
Maybe I'll draw half as good as you one day.
Amazing and inspiring work!

Thankyou very much, I got the idea for what colours and composition I wanted from a screenshot of the game
Keep on practising, you'll get better, just look at my old fan-art from 2006 and yoou'll get concrete proof of that

you're welcome ^^
say, what program did you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Though I use three differnet programs (two for 3D, one fo "drawn") this one her eis just done in what I use for "drawn" art, and that is Photoshop (I'm sure you've heard of that, it's the universal digital art program lol) There was a bit of basic 3D work for the water in the background, but that was heavily edited in Photoshop too. Yuna herself is Fully drawn in Photoshop, and the tails of the pyreflies around here are manipulated fractal renders
yeah, having (and knowing) a variety of programs helps makes things a little easier and faster

This is pretty intense bro. Your time and hard work really paid off.

Thankyou, yes, at starting out, it can sometimes feel like all the time spent isn't worth it...but my mind changes when I finish it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not very many people can say that. It's actually a rarity that you can. For the majority of people I know (including myself) you start an art project with hopes of it being the best, and you expel all your effort into it. Yet, when all is said and done, you think it's rate shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, well, I sometimes get that notion too, but it's rare since I never settle for whats not my best I can do with my given skill at the time (and pateince lol). many submit and even willingly say "it looks terrible, I know and I'll finish it later" and I often wonder why they just don't fully finish it to begin with

Some artist push themselves to improve there art through self criticism. While it does work, one drawback of this is that it deters people later down the road. They have good intentions, but some can't help to be meek and humble with there art. It all depends on someones personality I believe.

Great art work. I played many FF games, FFX is my favorite game.

WOW! I live that game and that scene! I go watch it in youtube every once in a while, it's so beautiful!
I really love the way you did the water!
Awesome painting, but if I can say one thing... I mean, two...
1. FINISH THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Her mouth is kinda weird, nothing too important
and your icon really rocks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thankyou...it was actually a scene from a video on the net that I used to look at when making this 
Lol, I might find motivation to start playing again, but I won't make any promises lol, and I think someone said something about the mouth too...funny how something as simple as a mouth can be so hard to do lol.
And as for my avatar, thanks...it took forever to make

Well, if you are impressed by the sending in the beggining of the game, you really need to see a few scenes from the ending... That does NOT mean you should watch the ending in youtube...
really, this game is easy! try to play FF XII, then! It's not impossible, I beat it fairly easily too, but it's really a lot harder and more complicated.
The effects are really nice, the 3D, the bright colours! Mixing programs does get great results ^^
about the avatar... I never worry too much about mine, because I always change it after a little while... I just can't keep one... why bother then? heheheh

This is absolutely brilliant!
One small thing is, though, it seems like the highlights on the hair should be softer, to make it look like it's flowing more. Other than that, it's really good. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried making the hair softer...but that made it look cheap and smudgy like the hair in my older fan-art...Then again, it's hard trying to get nice, smooth lines when you are drawing with a mouse. But thanks anyway

Very beautiful.
I really should get to playing that sometime. I've heard and seen so much about it already.
