Today's otherkin of the day is Gau, who is monsterkin 👹

[jacquirebriggs]

Sure I'll post this too... I named Gau, Diego in my Final Fantasy VI playthrough/stream (it was Timmy, but Diego fit way better). It's not a reference to Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, but rather a childhood show I like, Go, Diego Go!

Since they are kids that are associated with animals, I figure this cosplay works well. The Coeurl (which isn't an enemy in the game, I just added it to be a little exotic), is the replacement for Baby Jaguar.

I love Gau, he's my favorite FF6 character and pretty fun to play with. I will upload for art of him and other Final Fantasy Characters for my real final post here. Maybe I'll also leave my thought on my old fanfics too...

Charm lineup (if I ever get around to it, that is)! I had a great time experimenting with these.

Final Fantasy VI Cast Lineup -- Part 1.

This is actually more of just a reference for myself for whenever I draw them but it was still super fun and I will be making 1 or 2 more for the rest of the cast.

Happy birthday Gau! Let's dress him up and take him to meet his dad.

Them FF6 Blond Shades

In the spirit of procrastination, I’ve been thinking about hair and eyes. It’s one of those things that I can’t get out of my head until I write it down somewhere (even though I don’t do art and I don’t describe jack shit when writing🤷🏻‍♀️)

In ProJared’s review of FF6, he says the sprites were created first, and that Amano used them as inspiration for his concept art. Regardless, both are canon even if contradictory, and I’d say it’s up to each to choose their preference because reasons 😌

Terra’s fandom wiki says she has green or blonde hair and green or violet eyes. I didn’t know her eye color was debatable too (but look, her hair looks greenish on the first image 😚). I like her being as otherworldly as can be, so I prefer green hair and violet eyes.

Celes and the twins have blond hair and blue eyes. The sprites and concept art gave them the same colors, and they’re so alike that some NPC mistook Celes for Sabin 🤨 (maybe those three have reality-bending levels of sexy. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️).

To me Celes seems paper-white-pale with light blond hair and light blue eyes.

Soraya Saga, who created the twins, noted that they have “honey-blond” hair. I was a bit apprehensive about this, but the twins’ regality is pretty heavy-handed and a shade of blond that is more golden goes along those lines. Also in Figaro, blue eyes mean royalty, but I think there’s more to this idea if we ignore that it wasn’t even canon take the parallels from Xenogears Fatima lore to complement the FF6 Figaro lore. It’s not just blue eyes, but a specific shade of blue that runs in the family. I think honey-blond hair goes nicely with a darker shade of blue eyes. So going by this, the twins’ colors would differ from Celes’.

When I learned about the “Figaro blue eyes” I also wondered if Gerad should hide his eye color (especially from Figaroan thieves), and as it turns out, his sprite has brown eyes. This could be just a lazy color swap, but I like how this can add up to the lore 🙃

For Kefka, the wiki specified blond hair and green eyes. There’s no specification for Gau, but his sprite’s eyes are green and his hair looks like Kefka’s, less yellow and more ashy than Celes’.

This Gau art has light blue eyes, so I guess that’s another possibility 🤷🏻‍♀️ There’s also the other Amano arts that show him with green hair. I like to think his hair is blond but not that clean. He’s like a sloth growing algae on his fur 😅

Locke’s colors aren’t in the wiki, but I like dark ash blond for him because it resembles his sprite. His eyes are consistently brown.

Relm and Clyde’s hair look pretty similar, somewhere between Locke’s and Kefka’s colors. I think Taylor Swift’s color could be ok for them too (more like Locke's hair).

Relm’s wiki says she has blond hair and blue eyes. Clyde’s sprite has black eyes but Shadow’s look blue, and I like her having her daddy’s eyes 🥰 (ignore that her sprite has green eyes and one Amano art gave her amber eyes).

There’s no info about Leo’s colors, but many in the fandom make him to be black. Years ago I learned about a group of dark-skinned people with blond hair known as Melanesians. Maybe Leo is one of them 😁

His sprite is white-skinned and has blue eyes, which can also be an option, but I prefer the super rare Melanesian ethnicity for him. It makes me happy 😌

Setzer is said to have silver hair and purple eyes, which probably means he’s albino. I think he uses that purple shampoo to make his yellowish/whiteish hair look silver 😌

Day 2: Chocobo

I felt like I needed to contrast the first piece with something a lot nicer. Also I’ve been wanting to nap a lot lately and I think that thought just invaded my art.

Happy 30th Anniversary Final Fantasy 6!!!

I've been working on and off on this piece since april, and I'm super happy with how it came out. Put some insane details that are barely noticeable unless you zoom in, but I'm really glad with the final result.

FF6 Kimodameshi fanart, based on the daily references.

Strago[s] was based on a nude model holding a spear. Mog was based off a sword-thrusting pirate lady. And Gau/Relm was originally a 4-person interaction that I manipulated to add in a tree instead of a chair.

I was lamenting to friends about the WIP for artober from earlier in the month... essentially had to start over yesterday. (These sketch-a-day challenges have been working!)

[jacquirebriggs]

Gau is such a cute and funny character and this could be what happen if he meets my husbando, D. Is he mistaking him for a monster to learn a new rage?

Feel free to reblog before I shut this Tumblr down. I could leave as an archive, but I have too much suffering and lost friends through the past years. I can't see myself keep it for long. Especially since I was a hyper fixated suffering fan of a flash game for like 6 years.
