Comparison time! Because I can’t do a redraw without putting up a comparison on Tumblr, lol.

So, this is about a nine and a half year comparison, which seems rather crazy to me that I first started development on the story out ten years ago.  Except that was just when I decided to do something with the story in my head and come up with designs. The story itself, or at least Lane and Greg, had existed since around 2007?  

I mean, I come up with the story after watching My Super Ex-girlfriend, and seeing that the DVD came up at the end of 2006, and I probably didn’t see it right away, I’m guessing Easter 2007?  Because I remember coming up with pretty much the entire story on the drive home from visiting family.  (It’s crazy what you remember, because I remember being in the car, on a bridge, when I came up with Greg’s name.  O.o)

That does make sense that it was just a story I told myself from time to time for about seven years because thinking to myself, hey, this would make a great original story!  And then it took about two years from that point to get to writing the story, because I don’t think I was ready that first year, and then we decided on a different story the following year, before I put my foot down and said I was doing this one on 2016.  (And then I got pregnant right around the time I was originally writing the sequel, and I was depressed over the thought of lack of creative time, and couldn’t finish it until three years later, go figure.)

I absolutely had no idea what I was doing with Ultraman’s outfit.  I didn’t come up with the idea of him slapping his uniform together until later probably after watch Kickass and seeing Superboy wearing a hoodie and jeans.  I gave him a cape so he would look like a superhero, but again, after seeing Superboy sans cape, I was like…screw it, no cape.  (So it wasn’t Edna Mode logic there, but we can pretend it is?

I know with Lane I was trying to sort of kinda give her a Amy Adams as Lois Lane sort of vibe, which I think I sort of accomplished with the vest there?  IDK. I was never able to mimic the hair, so I gave up on the look after a while.  

Also weird that she didn’t have glasses back then?  That had always been such a staple for the story, that she was so imperfect compared to Greg that it feels weird that she didn’t always have glasses?  Huh.

I am pleased to see that I’m doing better with the cross arm look, although I hadn’t realized that Ultro looked sort of awkward with his.  But that’s fine – Greg is actually rather awkward, lol.  

I am pleased with how the new one turned out, since it is a good representation of the story.

Hey guys soooo.... yeah. Memes like this represent the kind of gatekeeping that is keeping the gaming community from becoming an inclusive space & I am only sharing it to hopefully bait people into having a big argument, so I can gain subscribers.

✨The Grand Opera of Final Fantasy VI✨

aka the absolutely mindblowing part of the game (one of the many)

aka what might be the most chaotic and insane way to recruit a new party member in the history of gaming

they didn't have to go that hard in a 16bit game, there wasn't even a technology to output voices but thank you square soft and nobuo uematsu for this masterpiece

also have the link to my favorite live performance of this opera

oh i forgot to post this on the internet i’m bad at this.

but you know what isn’t bad? FF6.

that was also a bad segue

[the-ertceps]

For some reason I made 6 more of these little guys... I can't stop... I wanted to do something both iconic and unique, and what's more infamous than FFVI's slew of bugs? Featuring the Evade bug, 52 death ending, Sketch glitch, Vanish Doom, psycho Cyan, and the fabled hidden party member General Leo.

I’m telling you… Final Fantasy VI has great potential if it were remade with love and care. It’s got the same sort of charm ffvii has - all the serious, sad parts, all the ridiculous parts… if they remade this game, I’d be so happy. People who’ve played it would love it. People who only play the remake would love it… what are they waiting for?

Fanmerch: H0lyhandgrenade

Another thing I received a while ago but forgot to post about. I purchased this set of FF6 stickers from @h0lyhandgrenade.

I love each and every sticker, and the fact that neither of the given quotes are actually from the game makes me laugh. I want to find a way to make "One more time, baby!" another classic Ultros catchphrase.

But of course, my favorite one is the Figabros. Sabin's having a bit of a nip-slip moment too. 👀

I need to buy a FF6 notebook where I can start putting all these stickers.

@h0lyhandgrenade has a lot of really great artwork on their site; I actually wish I had purchased more stuff from them!

You can check them out here:

Thanks for the stickers H0lyhandgrenade! 🥰

Half forcing my muse back on Waiting for Superman because it’ll be way easier to do (since I don’t have to do as much prep work), and half knowing it’ll be there anyway once @callistochan87 finishes and posts up her Heart of Steel designs.  Figured I’d go ahead and redo the Ultro marker piece I did at the same time as the Lane what just for the hell of it.

Its not the vast improvement that the Lane one was, but meh, it’s enough.  I mean, I think the only thing better about the earlier version is that his pants are darker.  Eh.  I can tell that I did this one before I got the skin tone markers, I also think he’s definitely more dynamic in the newer version!  I like how it turned out, in any case.  ^^;

Day 15: Opera

Ultros tottaly desided he liked operas after the one he ruined. So he got himself a nice outfit and started showing up.

No one wanted to turn him away after last time so they just let him pick a spot. Unfortunately he blocks the view so bad no one wants to sit behind him!

[tayasigerson]

Finishing up with pink: Relm… but there were so many extra characters that I went around the wheel one more time (much quicker this time).

seriously I hope everyone noticed that Setzer's Theme is a music piece that canonically exists within the narrative?
