Was going to write a long rambling post about my progress in FFX, but got distracted by making icons. Yay icons. Transparency is my new favorite thing, but cutting Tidus' hair out of a background is HARD, which is why I'm only posting one icon.

Auron's way cooler than Tidus anyways.

[wired_lizard]

He's cooler, Tidus is prettier--and a well-developed character in his own right, surprisingly enough.

'Tis a verra nice icon. :)

And yes, there's about 3 different ways to pop an image out of its bg, but they're all a bit crazy-making.

I am resisting the urge to start flinging things your way.

Augh, yes! I SO want to finish the game so I can do fannish stuff properly...heck, I've got a few tidbits of fic floating around in my head, and for somebody who's been having drastic writer's block for months, that's something--but I don't want to write until I know the whole story...

A little more levelling up in the Omega dungeon and then I think I'm ready to go...would kinda like to break the damage limit for at least one person (probably Lulu, although maybe Wakka, must collate data as to who's pushing 9999 most often) whose celestial weapon is too much of a PAIN to get powered up, but that means capturing five of every monster in the game, and mergh.

Poor Tidus in this particular shot also happens to be against an insanely complicated background, so I'm just cutting him out by hand. Got everything but the hair so far...

Well, you have Doublecast. Lulu can automatically do 19998 damage now just by casting a 9999 spell twice.

I'd say you're almost ready now. Get the rest of the Jecht Spheres, maybe push for Tidus's third Overdrive. Use the Black and White Magic Spheres to pick up a couple of things here and there (at least one other person should have Hastega) and just dive in.

You can always go back and level more if it's too much for you, anyway.

[wired_lizard]

Only one white magic sphere though...mergh. I'll see how long it takes me to get Wakka to Hastega...
