eep -- the picture here makes me feel bad as much as the report makes me want to squirm. Poor Cielo.

jpegasus October 12 2006, 22:57:39 UTC

the picture was such fun to do. I mean, creepy and full of woe, but such fun. :3

Very dynamic, creepy, and really captures the subject's desperation. I don't know the series, but he looks like he's suspended in solution in a tank-- I can almost hear the poor thing thumping and scraping at the glass to get somebody's attention.

jpegasus October 12 2006, 22:58:19 UTC

thank you :3
and yes, he is suspended in a tank of goo.

Doing the scrapes on the glass was...more fun that it should have been >->

Yay, tanks of goo!

Doing the scrapes on the glass was...more fun that it should have been >->

I understand entirely too well. I have fond memories of my mother looking at a picture and saying "...is that a severed finger over there in the corner?" and me grinning guiltily and going "Nooooo..." (yes). :D

aaafl;kdssaakj SO CREEPY

Oh, it's lovely, the combination of the picture and the words. Gives me shivers. I'd always wished they'd gone into more detail about real!Cielo.

thank you! It was an idea that I was pretty pleased with ^^

Yeah, I mean, the thing about Cielo being a former canidate is missable, if you don't talk to the right NPCs...

*prr* Thank you!

I had this vague thought that it would be cool to do something with Cielo going crazy, and I mentioned it to Kiwi, and then she brought home the sketch for this -- and homg, so awesome and inspirational. I think I'm starting to see what this whole inkspot thing is about. ^^

Oooo wow! The sci-fi paragraph paired with emotional art reminds me very much of the Evangelion series, where giant mainframes were named after biblical figures.

laylah October 15 2006, 00:41:36 UTC

Oh, I can totally see that! ^^;
I mean...the execution is really different, but DDS is definitely another series that does a lot of blending of sci-fi and religious elements.

(tooootally catching up) oh woob, oh Cielo hon.... ;_;

I totally need to write about poor pre-game Cielo someday. ;___;

Poor bitty Cielo! He just wanted to have a nice life and go dancing sometimes and not be STUCK IN A TUBE!

Sephiroth makes the >: face.
