Description Finally doneeee~
Rinoa vs Lightning on Order's Sanctuary battle stage.

With school, work and internship, as well as preparing for graduation going on, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to finish!

This was really fun and intense for me, and got me to push a little harder in terms of composition and coloring, since action isn't really my forte.

Oh yeah, I'm not very familiar with Lightning's battle style(s) so forgive me if it seems a little off for her >:

And the little EX particles floating around.
IS THIS SHINY ENOUGH TO BE SQUARE ENIX?!

I like Lightning a lot better, but i liked Rinoa at the end sort of. Rinoa was pretty much useless without having her dog and Ultimecia's powers.

awesome artwork! rinoa will win this why?
Lightning is a female version from Squal, so rinoa got enough experience again people like squall x)

Another awesome drawing! I love the mix of feathers and rose petals. It really adds to the appeal of the drawing - plus, the dynamic camera angle makes it just perfect!

Are you kidding?! This shot is amazing and appealing to look at; the composition feels well balanced.
Hmm, angel feathers vs rose petals, who will win? Well, I am in no place to make predictions, but either way, this is the best cat-fight I have ever saw.

Wow I'm so glad you think so! Thank you for such a kind comment.
Hehe I can't really decide either, because there's no denying how badass Lightning can be but you can't underestimate Rinoa's power and magic ability either * v *

hmmm I go with Rinoa on this fight lighting is cool and all but, Rinoa is mean fighting machine. . .her base stats make her a monster mwaha!

aeriim In reply to CelestialWyvern [2011-09-11 19:27:13 +0000 UTC]

LOL definitely, her STR is crazy off the charts!
But I suppose it's to make up for her being absent from the party for a while.

CelestialWyvern In reply to aeriim [2011-09-11 19:44:36 +0000 UTC]

Damn straight but yeah that pretty much explains why but still over all judging her as a character; she just has that spunky go-getter- attitude plus she isnt that typical annoying love interest who is weak to fight for herself I mean she tries to take on a sorceress by herself, dumb but brave xD

RindesayuAyame In reply to CelestialWyvern [2012-08-21 06:13:59 +0000 UTC]

Totally agree! Rinoa got caught up in a few things (about four times in the game) but she has a crazy drive despite not actually having military experience like the rest of them and not only that but manages to become extremely powerful with magic (a sorceress no less). Her STR becomes the highest at the end of the game (even higher than Squalls) and I've also beaten the final boss using Rinoa mostly which some side stuff from Squall. Thinking of how powerful she must have gotten even after words is breath taking. I love both characters up here, but in a fight like this I'd go for Rinoa. I love the picture and value both characters (I am in no way saying which character is best or better in terms of value).

That is an awesome work of art!! I am just...in totally awe of it!

I own a Rinoa tribute and I have a fanart section on the site. Would you mind if I displayed it there? I will give you full credit and a link back to your deviantart page or website if you have one. If not, that's totally ok. I just want permission first.
