FFXII: Basch/Ashe Fanart Commission

[aorin]

Hehe!! Look~~!! I've finally customized my LJ layout, and I adore the new look XD

I still need to tweak some of the sidebars (fix the page summary and tags), but all in all, I absolutely love this new layout. The original layout base was made by

AWWWWWWWW!!! Sooooo cute!!

[aorin]

Just curious, which one did you like best? ;D

[merry_rogue]

For some reason I'm quite partial to the back to back one, but they have their charm.

The sketches are both really sweet too.

[aorin]

Hmm... I suppose because that fanart really depicts their relationship in the game. You know, the whole sad and subtle relationship, and longing for each other. Somehow, I believe the artist feels the same vibe too, as he did mention to me that he knows the game and the characters.

I'm so greedy... I actually wish that I had spend more time bullying them into producing more Basch/Ashe fanarts :D

The new layout is so cute! <3

[aorin]

Thanks!! :)

I'm not quite satisfied with it yet, and I still want to improve the layout, like adding a divider between the main entry and sidebars. Changing some of the colours, and smoothen the font size and words.

But still, I do love this layout! I don't even know why, and I could use another premade layout, but I really like this and I want to improvise until it gets better :)

Of course, my profound love for the artwork in the header does contribute to a lot of the fondness I'm having over this layout now XD

Ah, I hung out at Jac'Kee's booth for the 2nd day and saw her working on your commission XD

So YOU were the Ashe/Basch fangirl XD

OMG! You are such an FFXII fan! GYA! Can I add you on MSN?

[aorin]

Oh dear, I hope I didn't really build up a bad reputation between you girls X3 About the whole Basch/Ashe fangirl thing, it seems like my fangirl reputation precedes me now... not a bad thing though, I think :3

Sure, of course, I'd love to add you on MSN. My email is aorin107@hotmail.com. Also, may I add you here on LJ too? ^^ (though my LJ is pretty much a dumpster for my Basch/Ashe stuff, and a place for me to fangirl with others XP)

[firnheledien]

Yup, mine is bakasarubaka@hotmail.com
My LJ is my food and art dump. I don't really update it with too much life stuff XP

Haha, it wasn't a bad reputation, it's just that she said that you went around asking everyone for Bashe fanarts XD

[aorin]

Nice talking to you there ^^ It's been a long time since I chat continuously about one topic for almost... 2 hours!! XD

I don't want to clog my LJ with my RL stuff because, well, it's either really boring, or involves a huge amount of bitching about life DX And it's better to spare you all from the rubbish -.-|||

I do insist on the fact that I can't draw anything decent to save my life, and I can't help myself if CF has a lot of good artist that can draw wonderful Basch/Ashe fanarts. And believe me, commissioning artwork doesn't end on CF >D

Still, it's a good thing that I'm committed to one pairing and fandom at this moment. Last year, I couldn't decide what to request when I'm there, and I wasted a lot of time lurking around in the corners drinking coke, and fanning myself -.-||

The new journal looks good. Banner the banner <3

You're one commited shipper eh? Hehe, I bet it would've been amusing seeing you run around like rabid Basch/Ashe shipper demanding for art xD

Anways, all those artwork look gorgeous. You're one lucky gal.

The one of Ashe by Toounit is pretty hott. My favorite has to be the one by Kidchan, it is simply beautiful. The chibi one is pretty cute x3

[aorin]

Eheh, the banner was create by my sister at gunpoint X3 She's better in these stuff than I am XP

It's actually a good thing to be dedicated to one pairing. Last year, I couldn't decide on what to commission, and ended up wasting a lot of time there, wandering around and oogling at other cosplayers. Didn't really have a chance to be part of the crowd T__T But yes, as mentioned by firnheledien, I did build up a reputation by bugging everyone for a Basch/Ashe fanart. I feel quite bad about it though, as though I was a fanart whore or something that just couldn't be satisfied T___T Normally, you just request from a few artist, but I practically bug everyone, and I really hope I didn't offend anyone in that manner

[crazy18gurl]

I always want to commit myself to one pairing but then others come in and I then commit myself to them and then more and more come. When I was first entered the world of shipping, I thought that the pair I was shipping back then, I would forever stick with it. But unfortunately, time changes all, I went through several favorites. So now I have many favorites, a few top favorites and one which is on top of the list and which I'm really dedicated to, which is Balthier/Fran

I Worship you XD

(Sorry for the repost, there were some erros in the last message and I can't edit it because I don't have a paid account XO

[franza]

wow these are truelly brilliant, i love em

[aorin]

Ah~~ my country is filled with talented artists. But why am I not gifted as well?

But yes, it's quite a horde of treasures, and I'm still looking for more. I don't think I'll be changing my OTP for a while now, and it's easy for me to come up with requests with just one couple ^^ Though, the reputation of 'weirdo bugging everyone for fanarts is seriously preceding me' and I just hope it doesn't turn bad T___T

My younger sister, whom is not dedicated to any fandom, had a hard time requesting for fanarts, and she really didn't want to waste the hard-found chance on a fandom that she'll get bored of easily :3
