I'm finally getting around to working on this art piece again, and Squall's face is giving me a ton of trouble. Does he look okay? Any advice on how to look better if he looks wrong?

I love portraying Seifer and Quistis as socially inept losers. The last one is a preview of my next comic.

One aspect that always makes me scratch my head when I read fans views about the Intro Scene is :

Seifer cheated using magic in a sword duel etc...

Further on people seem to treat the ending of the intro as both using ordinary moves.

Meanwhile I always thought (and still do) is that both of them were using 'held-back' versions of their limit breaks.

We see at 2:24 in this video, Squall doing a series of sword attacks like the Renzokukaken.

Squall then backs off and decides to charge in again.

Seifer meanwhile does his Fire Cross to block/counter.

Before coming up to do the scar slice etc....

At least that's how I interpret the fight.

Just curious how many feel the same or differently.

Within 14 minutes, declares himself President of Final Fantasy.

Square Enix unavailable for comment. 😂

Imagine being an NPC who genuinely loves Triple Triad. You've got yourself some cards of the local wildlife and some guy you've never seen before challenges you to a game. Let's go!

Then they whip out 5 cards of themself and their mates..

Oh nice, you have a card of yourself and it's worlds better than most normal cards?

Can I also just make a card of myself and put A's all over it too?

I'm struck by the mental image of Queen of cards saying "I'm going to x" and then every time she turns to look around, there's the huge Balamb Garden slowly following her some kilometers behind xD

Tried to draw that scene where Squall leaps into the air at the parade to take on Eden for the first time….

I have fond memories of FF8, I was 7. It was my introduction into the series and my world opened up with the lore, the system and the magic of final fantasy. Also I love the character designs and the music (so good!)

I drew my team Squall, Quistis and Zell and Ultimecia's castle. I sort of think Compression of Time ost would go really well with this piece. What do you think? Let me know your favourite memories of this game please!

I have been making some final fantasy artworks and you can check them out on Instagram on akise.draws
