Description

Dear god the new submission system sucks aye? I thought that the last one was screwed up but this one takes the cake... but at least they've finally included an Illustration section, now my work on LotN isn't going to be bunched in with Fanart and all the rest of the Anime/Manga horde that DA is obviously trying to kull so ruthlesly with these stupid new catagories.
Oh well, looks like Fanart won't get you so far in pageviews anymore. No biggy for me.

Speaking of Fanart, I recently got in the mood to do some, thanks to ~Kawaii-Ash's great submission [link] , of Zidane from FFIX fame, in his new depiction from the viewpoint of Square-Enix's flagship artist these days, Tetsuya Nomura.

It's all part of a new game that SE's bringing out, called Final Fantasy Dissidia. Think of it as an all-stars FF game, were all the heroes, especialy the less well known ones, are entering the fray with their nemesis from their respective games. The gameplay will be something of a mix between the Kingdom Hearts battle engine and the one featured in Super Smash Bros. Dunno about you guys but I'm pumped for this game o_O"

I like how this turned out, as I noticed some new things about how Nomura has drawn Zidane. Namely he's included all these beads decorating his clothing, giving him that rogue attitude that worked in the same way that it did for Jack Sparrow's costume. His hair seems a bit more flicky too. This is odd as it's always how I've seen it, ever since Zidane's debut way back in 2000.

This is only a quicky sketchy, I got it done in about 5 mins while I was waiting for my ipod to Sync it's new music. I'll be moving this to scraps after I get a propper full-colour Fanart done. Just gotta work out poses etc now...
