Description
This is the first of a series of Aeons from Final Fantasy 10 that I am making for my very dear friend, xcrimsonwolf, . This is Anima, the Dark Aeon, one of the freakiest Aeons. The challenge of this one for me was to get my head around what I was actually looking at..he has a lot of details and it is hard to get any good still shots of him from the video game. My friend wanted to see Anima in overdrive, where his lower half comes out and punches things out furiously. When he punches explosions pop out everywhere. That is what the 2 orange explosions are about, and that is one of the things about the drawing I was not sure about, I was concerned that maybe it was not a good addition. I am open to opinions about that, but the main person I want to please here is , so let me know if you would like me to change anything and I will work on it Sarah!This was done with watercolor pencils, colored pencils, markers and acrylic paint.
Comments and critiques are welcome!

This is the nicest, sweetest thing I think anybody has ever said about me or my work. My "love bucket" has been filled to overflowing, and the chronic hole in it has been effectively patched by this young lady, at least for the time being!
I am so glad Sarah liked it, I think she is being much more than "fair", I obviously dont deserve such lavish praise, but such words coming from my dear friend are like pure gold to me.
I think I should print this out, put it on my wall, and every time I feel unloved or sad I can look at it and feel wonderful, like I do right now!

Bahah, Nahhhh. But I'm pretty good. Only a few relatives left here... The only thing I'm not looking forward to is that we're moving this weekend -__- But I'm glad you're getting your tan on. Hah

MOVING?? YOU? NOW? Are you moving far? Man that kind of blows me away...so much stuff on top of stuff for you...well I hope you will like where you go..I would HATE to have to move, but with all that has been going on, I think I would like it even less, unless you just dont like it there or something..sorry!

Honestly, we've had the place for years...and I absolutely hate it with all my heart. The house itself as well as where it is for many different reasons... Basically, It just sucks...for lack of better words. -__-

now, why did your journal not come up in my messages? That is weird...
I am so sorry, but I said my piece in the journal comments...

You may not have been watching me at the time? But thank you <3
π: 0 β©: 1
what! I never have stopped watching you since we met!! Are you the proverbial pot of water on the stove, if I watch you I never see the journal?Or boiling?
π: 0 β©: 1
Never >__< I'm saying, it might have been before I met you that I posted the journal! Hah
π: 0 β©: 1
??THats an old journal? So you knew you were moving long ago, just didnt know when?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes. -___- I was even starting to think that I WASN'T going to move..But it was sprung on me again a few days ago that it'll be this weekend -.-

(banging head on desk)!!there has to be a better way to handle that..I am just sayin, you deserve much better!! I just hope you like it there..is it near Goshen or something? you said only 50 miles from Chi-town?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nuuu. About a 50 minutes drive from Joliet is what I said. It's a really small town called Lowell, indiana. I don't like it there :/ we've had the house for years and have been visiting. And each time we go it's just....Well there are a lot of rasons I dont like the place. But I'll cope.

I sure am sorry! Wish I could help..I suppose in a couple years you could live wherever you want..
well tonight I have to go with my Mom to see my Aunt and Uncle. He just got put in a nursing home, and my Aunt is really sad. He keeps falling, and is too weak to do anything. It cost $175 per day to be there! My Mom is pretty sad too, I talked to her a long time last night..
π: 0 β©: 1
It's alright. I really need to stop complaining >__< But I'm sorry, love. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know! Even if it's just talking. Hm. You do have number.. right? Well either way. As I said, let me know if I can help in any way <3
π: 0 β©: 1
no I dont have your number..I think you just have mine. But its ok, my aunt lives really close to him, and they seem to be adjusting..Its just my Dad is such a jerk to my Mom about it. He doesnt want to see them, but he will do anything to see his sister, and it makes my mom feel bad..so I am gonna take her, or my brothers or sister, as often as she wants.
You know, my Dad has diabetes too, and he did have prostate cancer, but that is gone now...But he has really bad knees and shoulders and has lots of pain, and kidneys are about to go. I have been expecting him to go for the last 4 or 5 years.
Can you tell me what type of cancer your dad has? Is he doing any treatments?
I dont think you complain hardly at all! I am always amazed at you..

My uncle, (not my Dad's brother) also had prostate cancer, and fully recovered. It is slow growing and seems to be easy to treat. My uncle had his removed, my dad had hormone therapy and then radiation. Does he have any health insurance at all? There has got to be some kind of way to get treatment either way, cut a deal with the doctor of hospital, see what the options are..maybe a payment plan of some sort. Please keep me up on how this goes, and dont let him wait because of money. Just do it as soon as you can and work something out with the medical people. If they would let you do a payment plan and he needs a little more money each month I would like to help you guys if I can..

Psh!! It is so fair, and you do so deserve such praise 
π: 0 β©: 1
your welcome! Thanks again, I feel so good from that!
So, we need to decide 2 things. Which aeon is next. and do you want then all the same style or do them like individual projects and change them up?
π: 0 β©: 1
Then I'll have to help keep that hole welded shut!! No Leaks! Hah. And agggggh. I feel bad that you're doing a LOT of aeons for me and I'm only doing like 1 or 2 things for you D:
π: 0 β©: 2
hey I showed my Mom and my Aunt your Anima, I was surprised, but they really liked it! I thought it would be too freaky for them..^^
So, could you do some research for me and send me some links of Ifrit, like overdrive video and some stills? Unless you want another one next, you should have me do the ones you want most 1st in case I fall in a well or something..I dont think Tracker is up to running for help right now either...and also, I want to pretend you are my secretary today.
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course they liked it! I thought and still think it's pretty amazing. And it's hanging up in my bedroom :3 And I don't want to make you do the others if you haven't got time or don't want to! Plus I still haven't gotten anything done for you! Well.. completed anyways. >_< And I really want to! Ahhhhhh. Where has all the time gone? -__-
π: 0 β©: 1
heh! So sweet of you to be answering this from so long ago!
Sarah. You are not "making" me do anything. And I have not done anything for you for months..well not counting the Charlie Brown thing, that was for my own self..^^
But time or not wanting too are not factors. I always want to do stuff for you, and I am going to do more, but you dont owe me back for any of it. The next one I will do for your birthday, I hope. So you dont have to pay back for a birthday present for sure, right? And, maybe if I am on top of things, you MIGHT get a Christmas present too. Or it may have to be Birthday/Christmas we will see how it goes..^^ My only worry is making it awesome enough to be worthy of you.
And, You DID do something for me! You made the thank you pic with the hoody and the print! That was so awesome and so..you! How could I not love it?
Really, I am not into art trade/payback deals, I think it should be out of fondness and friendship primarily. But, way back when I think you said (or gave me undeserved credit for) a kiriban thing, and something else where you said you would make me that ID trading card thing, and maybe there was something else, so I do expect you to make good on that, someday, at least before I die of old agedness.^^

Glad Ive done so!

let me know when you are all caught up, and I shall! Heh! I just set myself up for a looooong wait, havent I?
Well I do want that ID thing. Just make sure it makes me look like someone who could make Chuck Norris my bitch, and have my own fan club, etc, and it might be worth more than one thing, who knows?

My husband is very big into the FF games! And I've always really liked this Aeon!
I think you captured her perfectly!..Her??...It's still hard for me to believe it!
π: 0 β©: 1
I originally planned to make all the Aeons for my friend Sarah, but she sort of left...
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh! I'm sorry to hear that..
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah..I really miss her..she said hi on Skype a couple months ago, we chatted for an hour, and she was just like before, all fun and loving, but then..nothing.
π: 0 β©: 1
That type of thing happens unfortunately. Life tends to pull people away for awhile. It happens to all of us! I'm sure you haven't seen the last of her!
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope not..I have seen a lot of friends slip away like that, some were harder to lose than others..she was one of the ones that hurt the most..

There is always hope.
