Description For Dragon Chyld

Don't blink...don't adjust your set...yes, it's an Alphia pic.

I was working on my anime/manga art style and figured I would jump back into Star Ocean since most my recent piccys have been Kingdom Hearts. Of course Dragon said "Alphia!" Well, I thought why not...

I worked on this through the day and all I had to start with was a red pen. So, I just left it red with the effect of being sketch art. Yeah, I know they don't accurately look like Sophia and Albel. Call it artistic freedom I guess Albel looks a bit younger and happier than usual. I went on memory with no reference so that's one reason they might not look right.

I have Sophia playing with his hair - the idea was from the notes in Dragon's last update to her fic.

Please, don't flame the couple. I happen to like Alphia. I'll take criticism on the art itself - any way to improve is good.

Disclaimer - don't own...never will...but I'll live through that tragedy.

Woo, I'm lazy. Anywho, amsf here from the forums. Picture looks really good! Like everyone else says, loooove the red. I especially like Albel, though. He looks very peaceful. (Though his nose does remind me of Lois from Family Guy...haha. That's not a bad thing! It's actually different and makes him a bit more...innocent?)

Alphia is love. <3

And just because everyone's ragging on it T_T... ALNEL! EW!

Haha. Sorry 'bout that. Not my favorite pairing, but tolerable. (Had to settle the score... And yes, I'm bein immature as a joke.)

Hehe...yeah, Sophia ended up looking older and Albel younger...but I liked the effect. This piccy was the start of something for me, and since then I've gotten other couples up...yeah, one being Alnel but there is a Clirage! I'm a rabid Clirage fan. I have plans for a Luphia next...

I don't mind jokes. It's good to see people open-minded...and I did laugh so if it's being immature then count me in!

His nose was the only thing I really didn’t like, but it wasn't something I could fix without wanting to scrap the whole thing and I just couldn't do that. You're right, he does look more innocent. Maybe that's the affect she has on him.

Wow, this reminds me of my recent evil idea! ....Have you been reading my mind? *looks at date and gasps* This was before my idea....have I been reading your mind without knowing it? ....Speaking of my evil idea, have you heard it yet? I put it up in the Alphia forum....eventhough it isn't 'Alphia'

Gasp! You are in trouble if you've been reading my mind!

Oh yeah! The Glou/Sophia right? I personaly like the girl and like seeing her paired off. And truth be told (which I should have told ya a while back and put it in the notes of the fic - I'm just so air-headed sometimes) is the idea of Luther/Sophia steamed from your fic Aquios High. I shall have to correct the oversight of not mentioning it before.

See, like I said before - you are in trouble if you can read my mind! There's no telling what you'll find...or how lost you'll get.

Well If I am reading your mind and its as messed up and confusing as mine, then I should feel right at home. I know this because my mind is a twisting labyrinth of distractions like bishies, couplings, and separate other worlds of my own creation.

I don't know if I started the Luther/Sophia idea, but I do admit that the pairing will be in Aquios High! ...Wait, now I remember, I got that idea from a reviewer who wanted to see them together. But the whole Glophia thing really was a product of my demented brain...at least I don't know of any fics with that pairing.

Twisting labyrinth of distractions... um, what were we talking about?

Yay! There will be a Luphia pairing in Aquios High. Can't wait - but I have no room to talk since I haven't updated there in like forever. I really need to get back to work on some fics...

They look a little different but thats ok, it's still cool...and red!

BluePersuasion In reply to Kikeri-Ki [2006-06-16 20:00:08 +0000 UTC]

Thankies! I really liked the way Sophia turned out - she looks a little more mature.

Ah, let's see if I have this right...you like Nel/Fayt right? I'm taking a guess here because for some reason I'm thinking your fav couple isn't Alnel...but I don't think it was Clinel either. I'm glad I'm asking this over the internet 'cause if I did in person and was totally off then I would die of embarrassment

Why do I ask...'cause if the muse hits I figured I might do several different couples. I already started on an Alnel so I figured why not. I figured I might as well take request.

lol eh don't worry about embarressment... yeah i've always been a fan Fayt/Nel...but i'm growing closer to Alnel now...but its definatly not Clinel...cuz it's Clirage all the way!!! ^_^

BluePersuasion In reply to Kikeri-Ki [2006-06-17 02:26:50 +0000 UTC]

Don't tell anyone but Clirage has taken it to be my absolute fav!!! It ranks ever so slightly above Alnel.

That and I'm a rabid Mirage fan...

Kikeri-Ki In reply to BluePersuasion [2006-06-17 02:35:47 +0000 UTC]

^_^ lol *whispers* you just posted the fact about the fave on a page that will probably be viewed again....

I like Mirage...Nel is probably my favorite (just because of the torment i can do to Albel through her....) but i like Mirage nonetheless...she can keep Cliff's ego in check

Hehe...I know *slaps head and starts to whisper back* Um, yeah...it's called planting the bug. You know, bring all those who either never thought about Clirage or didn't particularly care for it over to my side! *Mwahahaha!* (for some reason the link to the emoticons isn't working right now O.o)

Yup, she can definitely keep him in check!

BlueTrillium [2006-06-15 15:10:56 +0000 UTC]

Interesting...though Sophia with red eyes is kind of scary... ^_^ ...And of course red has always been Albel's color. (Well, that and purple...)

Hey, draw whatever you want! It's all good. As long as you still like Alnel and Clirage too, of course...

For some reason, I particularly like the jaw shapes on this one...dunno why...

BluePersuasion In reply to BlueTrillium [2006-06-15 22:13:28 +0000 UTC]

Hey, everyone has a dark side...and you know what they say: "Look out for the quiet ones."

Of course Clirage and Alnel are still my favs. Right now I'm struggling just slightly with my Clirage fic but it just taunts me to continue. Um, I might have to do something containing Clirage, Alnel, and/or Fayphia. I'll have to wait till the muse strikes again - little bugger is hitting me more with drawing than writing right now for some reason...

Yay for jaw shapes! I think the one thing I don't like about it is Albel's nose - but I just couldn't figure out any other way to do it so I figured it hit in the 'artistic freedom' category.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BlueTrillium In reply to BluePersuasion [2006-06-16 17:38:15 +0000 UTC]

^_^ I think I'll agree with you on Albel's nose...but noses can be really hard sometimes, almost as bad as feet...at least Sophia's nose turned out pretty well!

Drawing's been hitting me a bit harder than writing, too, lately...maybe there's some contagious drawing bacteria that's going around... ...But I'm taking some time off work next week, and while that means less time online starting to get caught up with reading and reviewing, hopefully it means more time for writing! I think I might try your method of starting a few different stories, so that if I'm not in the mood to write on one, then I'll just write on another, etc.

Problem is, we're also getting two new kittens next week too... hmm... maybe they'll help me write! ^_^ They're so cute...I really need to get myself a digital camera so I can post pictures and stuff... Yeah, I'm behind the times. I just don't get new stuff unless I've got a strong need for it, I guess... ^_^

Speaking of your stories...I AM up-to-date on reading the latest chapters -- some of them several times. ^_^ But at the time I didn't have an extra moment to review. I WILL go back and review every single one though. I promise. And they're all still awesome! ^_^

Hey, since everyone was sooooooo nice about my Alphia pic I started an Alnel that it done with the same effect. I hope it turns out okay 'cause I have the rough sketch and once again I'm going with no references. If I can I'll be doing a Clirage after that...but no promises. I do promise an Alnel - hopefully tonight or before the weekend ends.

Time off of work is good! Kittens are so cute =^.^=

Thanks Blue! I never lose faith in you. I've been busy myself with little time at the computer...and it's like I said, my muse wants to draw more than write. I'm struggling through the next Dragonfly's Fire chapter - trying to weave the twist in nicely but it's so 'jumpy' right now. I'll get it soon I hope. I'm with you on the 'if I don't need it I'm not buying it'. I don't see spending money on something just to say I have it when I could buy...oh I don't know - a new video game or something I'll use.

I know you don't get online on weekends, and I'm not sure when your time off next week is but I hope to have an Alnel waiting when you get back

BlueTrillium In reply to BluePersuasion [2006-06-16 21:01:37 +0000 UTC]

Cool! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that Alnel. I hope to be online to scan through my emails and messages (and new drawings of course) for a little bit on Monday morning, but after that, I'm not sure. I took the whole week off because I haven't taken any time off all year yet, and you lose it if you don't use it... ^_^ I should get in to the library and be online at least one other day, though.



Semi-rhetorical question: If you had to choose one or the other (let's say you've already got all your video games, so that's not an issue), which would you get: A good digital camera, or Photoshop CS2? (And the camera probably costs less ) 'Cause that's sorta the question I'm in right now... ^_^

BluePersuasion In reply to BlueTrillium [2006-06-16 21:09:25 +0000 UTC]

Personally I would go for the camera. That's me 'cause I've played around with photoshop and just can't get much of anywhere with it... I need a Photoshop for Dummies book. There are a lot of great tutorials around here, but none seem to help me like I would like (and that's why my emoticons were all on MS Paint).

But, if I thought I could use the photoshop then that would win hands down.

BlueTrillium In reply to BluePersuasion [2006-06-26 16:20:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think I agree with you...it almost seems to me that to make really good use of photoshop you have to have a tablet, which I don't have... (not even totally certain what that is, because I haven't gone looking for info on it yet... ^_^)

So actually this last week I finally went out and got myself a digital camera! It's pretty cool, though I think maybe I should've gone for one with more zoom...oh well. I'll hopefully be posting some pics later today. Some of them actually turned out rather well!

BluePersuasion In reply to BlueTrillium [2006-06-26 21:25:01 +0000 UTC]

Don't feel too bad...I don't really know what a tablet is myself, though I've been real tempted to get one. But it's the whole money vs. needs thing right now. Perhaps sometime in the future. Meanwhile I'll practice my line art and colored pencil magic!

Hey there Blue, this is the same Lily from the FF.Net boards, I just wanted to tell you that you did a great job on this pic! I happen to like the fact that it is in red and they look close enough to the characters that I don't mind. Really, I find this pic to be really cute! Great job, Blue!

hmmm........interesting....... i like albel and he does look younger but that's okay that's what fanart and imagination is about...
i really am not fond of sophia but i do like how you did the ink and stuff and i do know how it feels when you just have to draw what inspires you (currently me w/ sesshoumaru, rin, and jaken from inuyasha; ) but i don't think anyone will really flame it; they shouldn't flame it is more like it but though i'm not too fond of the pairing it was something i figured i could just let "slide"

Hehe...I was happy with how Sophia turned out. I opted to give her smaller eyes.

Don't worry, I'm still all for Clirage and Alnel first (Alphia is just among the other pairings I like to read).
