Submit: Inanimate Objects
The theme for week fifty-seven is Inanimate Objects. That is an item that cannot be moved of its own accord, so living things such as plants still count but creatures such as humans and animals do not. You may submit one Square Enix icon as long as it prominently features an item (i.e. a weapon, piece of clothing) or scenery (i.e. a castle, field of flowers).
You can include a character(s) in the icon if you must since I realize sometimes the crop is difficult without them and it becomes necessary. However, only if they are small figures in the backdrop or you need part of their limbs to show the item in question. They should not take away focus from the inanimate object. For instance a closeup of a character's hand weilding their sword is fine, a wide shot of the character with a sword in hand is not. A general rule of thumb is, once you start showing the character's face, you're distracting the viewer and taking focus away from the object.
Aside from that everything is up to you, this is just a chance to explore the series without using their characters. Be creative and have fun. Remember those gallery links for other Square Enix series are still available at this post for your convenience.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon's img src, url, series and a description of your object/scene. This information makes my job easier so please follow this example.
