The dragon one is very pretty and Hah! I've infected yet another person with my fandom OTP! (I'm serious. A love that survives loss of very important limb? That's real love, right there. And that scene was adorable. I thoroughly approve.)
And uh. Yes. Pretty dragon. <3

I like the way you draw hair. And your characters' hairstyles.
I think you taught me how to shade hair actually. Just after we met, I used a picture of Kimura and Shoji for reference. Ah memory. O_o

I didn't get enough sleep last night and I've been drinking over-steeped, over-sugared tea. Can you tell?

Gah Irene and Gen are so adorable thank you so much for the books. <3 XD They helped me survive in the airport for 9 hours without my iPod.

I want to draw more fanart but I'm confused as to how old Gen is. Do they ever actually state his age? I originally thought he was in his 20s but they refer to him as "young" and "a boy" and that makes me think 15-18.

Ahh I'm glad you like my dragon. XD It's something new for me, drawing dragons. They have funny anatomy. And here I am with two new originals containing dragons. (that one and the Man Who Was Once a Dragon) I guess I really have to practice now. XD

Aww thank you. <3 I'm glad. XD

You're very welcome. :) I'm glad to have helped you survive. XD

They don't say anything specific. All we know is he's four years younger than Helen (if I'm remembering right? And younger than Costis?) Anyway, yes, they may such a huge deal out of him being young in Queen of Attolia it confused me (though I thought he was about 18 in the first one, when I first read it).

Heyyy... I love the idea you have of the FF characters as spells... either here or next time we hang out, wanna explain the background to me? :D ♥

Of course. XD Well, it's not a very long explanation, just...I was thinking about personifying the spells themselves, since Sora did something similar with Holy and Meteor, and drew Fira, but then I was thinking about how Leon always uses Fire/Fira/Firaga and Cloud is immune to Thunder spells, (in KH obviously) and his Limit Break has lighting-like stuff everywhere, so...I started thinking about spells that fit the other characters. Unfortunately Tifa was Blizzaga simply because I couldn't think of anything for her and nobody else fit the spell. She'd be fire because of her temper but Leon is Fire already. Aerith is Curaga for obvious reasons. XD Yuffie is Aeroga because it seems to fit with the ninja image or something. As for Tidus and the YRP, it was a bit of a stretch, but I wanted Reflega somewhere, and Tidus is usually the first to get Haste in FFX...yep.

Yeahh. XD I always want to do pictures in a continuing series, but it's hard to finish them all.
