Art: Final Fantasy "Delicate" and "Butterfly of Ill Omen"
For the Halfamoon awesome women challenge. Fran and Lulu from the Final fantasy game series definitely qualify *g*. Fran is a new painting, and I did major revisions to the painting of Lulu from last year.
Fran is a Viera (a matriarchal? or female only?) race. Despite the bunny ears, and a tendency to wear lingerie and pretty-but-impractical looking armour, Fran is usually anything but delicate. She is tough, strong-willed, enigmatic, compassionate, clever, sensible and has a sly sense of humour. I wanted to paint her in a different situation than normal. THIS wasn't my original concept but I like the way it turned out. Fran, on dawn watch in the Tchita Uplands (I spent a lot of time leveling-up there, and it was pretty country).
Reposting this revised painting of Lulu in the Forest of Macalania with the red butterfly of ill-omen (because apparently I have a theme going *g*). Lulu carries a pretty fan, a doll, and wears a very low cut gown, which also looks completely impractical for adventuring, but she is all-kinds-of-deadly, cool, pragmatic, sensible, determined, and by turns caring, sarcastic, and stand-offish.
I love both these characters (and yes, their maturity, humour and compassion are big factors in this). Digital painting - Corel Painter X, Wacom graphire.
