Something rather "peaceful" for now. Been quite a time since I did something for my beloved Final Fantasy 9 ~

This pic took ages to finish, about 15-16 hours in total - I had a hard time with that handrail and it still doesn't look right, but I've given up on that part for now. Also, the castle tower proved to be a bitch until I got the right angle (messed up that part in the sketch, bleh).
The idea itself is nothing fancy and the picture came out rather boring, but it was good practice.

Used some ref for Vivi's outfit (for the sketch only though), but that's that, I thought I was familiar enough with the FF9 optics, so no ref for the rest, and I'm quite proud how the sky turned out - but I'm also relatively fond of the rest, if I do say so myself.

No clue why Zidane's tossing a coin. Actually it just seemed too boring to have both of them just standing there doing nothing, heh. But it's kinda, well, in-character. Hanging 'round in Lindblum.

Very Painterly and professional looking. It's hard to get characters to look natural in their enviroment, but this makes you think you can walk right into that universe. FF9 - Cointossby Remainaery is just out of this world!

Merf!

i'm such a FF9 fangirl, damn.
from all the details, especially the aircrafts, the little...uhm, darn, "juckzirpe" down in the left corner caught my eye immediately.
