Description This is Lulu from the video game Final Fantasy 10, I'm a hugh fan of this game and Lulu is one of my favorite characters.
I drew this with a Uniball pen and did all of the shading with a regular ballpoint pen.
I'm really happy with this picture, I don't often do tiny details due to lack of patience. But Lulu isn't Lulu with out those little details and so this was something I had to do.
I made this piece back in 2005, so it's a little old but it's still upload worthy!

I love the attitude the Moogle's giving!

FF X and X-2 are my all time fave FF games. LuLu is one of the coolest characters ever!

This picture looks like it took you a while to do! It's so detailed and really beautiful!

Oh my god, it took me over a week in total to finish this damn drawing... I kept on putting it off because the tiny details were giving me a headache. I love FFX but I wasn't so fond of FFX2. I think my favorite though would have to be FF8. I recently beat FF12 though, it was pretty cool. I still need to get around to finishing my copy of FF4... it's collecting dust in my room.
Damnit, Radiata Stories has been distracting me from all of the other games I have but haven't played yet...

I beat X and X-2. I bought VIII for my hubby and he hasn't played it for a while. He's been playing 12. He's beat it once, now he's going back and just goofing off. I NEED VII!!!

I've had Okami for a few months and I haven't played it in forever!

Oooo... I need to get a copy of Okami! I've wanted to play it for ages. So you say you got FF8 for your husband but have you played it yet? I really enjoyed it, I wish they'd put the "Draw" command in a future FF title again. Luckly I got FF7 a few years ago before stores stopped selling PS1 games.

No, I haven't gotten a chance to play FF8 yet. I found FF7 on eBay for a pretty penny. It's kinda expensive. Collector's thing I guess.

I bought Okami at "Game Stop" used for $30 and it was worth it! It's so pretty!

Jagarnot In reply to Yami-Tiff [2008-01-27 04:41:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad I was able to get FF7 for $10 new when it was available. I search Game Stop and Game Crazy when I get the chance, I'll find Okami eventually. I sure hope you play FF8 soon! It's amazing.

Yay! Lulu!

I really love the dress. The skirt with the belts looks just awesome!! And I adore the Mogry. ^___^

It's amazing what you can do with a ballpoint pen! I'm a pencil-girl through and through. *lol*

Jagarnot In reply to Emeralde [2007-08-25 03:06:03 +0000 UTC]

Ballpoint pens are the best! You should give them a shot, you can do amazing shadow effects with them. Thanks for the compliment!

Emeralde In reply to Jagarnot [2007-08-29 20:17:02 +0000 UTC]

You`re welcome.
Well, I know why I prefer pencils... erasers!!
I do most shading by erasing shadows I've drawn before, so I would have to use a completely different tecnique if I used ballpoints. Maybe I'm going to give it a shot someday, see what happens.

Jagarnot In reply to Emeralde [2007-08-30 01:48:29 +0000 UTC]

That's why I draw everything in pencil first and then go over it in pen. I can erase what I need to in pencil and perfect everything and make it look clean in pen.

Emeralde In reply to Jagarnot [2007-09-02 01:12:51 +0000 UTC]

That's a nifty technique. I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I try doing something with ballpoints.

Jagarnot In reply to Emeralde [2007-09-02 02:00:23 +0000 UTC]

I've been using that technique since I was in grade school, I've always assumed that everyone else used it too until I joined this site. I was quite surprised to find out that almost no one does.

Emeralde In reply to Jagarnot [2007-09-02 02:08:06 +0000 UTC]

You know, I've always been using pencils, because I'm actually a bit colourblind (sometimes can't tell the difference between green and blue °.O). I am also often told that my clothing is mismatched when I think it's perfectly okay. That's why I've hardly ever tried doing something else than pencil, but with your technique I might try doing something with ballpoints... in just one colour, though.

Jagarnot In reply to Emeralde [2007-09-02 02:14:12 +0000 UTC]

I actually prefer drawing in black and white since more detail can be seen that way like in this drawing that you commented for example. The only reason that I have a lot of colored work in my gallery is because other people really like to see work in color. But yeah this might be a really good technique for you especially if you're color blind. I hope you enjoy trying out this technique for yourself!

Yep, I've never understood how she is able to walk while wearing that. But it looks cool at least.

All the clothes in that game were weird.

Yep, but I think Aurons outfit was the most down to earth simply because he looked kinda like a samurai.

Wheeee! I'm like this one too so it's nice to know you like it. I know you really like my colored stuff but black and white is my strong point and I think it really shows in this picture.
Yes Moogles are very cute, Lulu actually uses a stuffed toy Moogle to cast spells in FFX.

Hehehe, this picture was freakin' hard but it was worth all the time I put into it. You need to play Final Fantasy X just so you can see how awesome Lulu is.
