these are probably the last of the portraits I’m gonna do (I might do Gogo later because I love how wacky the design is)
but I’ve been sitting on these for a long time because I had finished Setzer’s–and then I drew Strago and Relm and the colors and composition blew it so far out of the water I thought it would be a crime to upload until I made a nicer version of Setzer
Gau was loosely based on one of the amano chibi drawings– it’s a little Plain but I liked the color
These were supposed to be simple sketches but with these three I got soooo carried away. I’m still really proud of Strago and Relm tbh.
me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!
me at 28: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILD SOLDIERS? WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS? WHO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY LAW WITHIN THESE FICTIONAL UNIVERSES
In the same vein:
Me at 14: oh protagonists that are 17-20-ish, they’re basically adults, right?
Me at 28: Oh my Gods you’re babies who left you in charge?!
Ariel: Daddy, I love him! Me at 14: Yeah, girl, you tell him! Me at 30:
Marnie in Halloweentown: I’m thirteen, okay? I’m practically grown up! I’m certainly old enough to make my own choices – right?
Me at 7: Right!
Me at 13: Right! …Well, okay, maybe not practically grown up, but still, right!
Me at 28:
You either die young or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
This is so true
Me playing FFVIII: Oh you poor kids you’re at the Legion of Sulky Teenagers stage and these idiots want you to save the planet here let me be your invisible fairy godmother
Me playing FFX: Auron you’re my age and this kid is calling you old man feel free to deck him *sigh* ok never mind he’s a good kid even if he is a doofus I guess we’d better be chaperones with Lulu here or they’re never going to get through this
Me playing FFX: Lulu you talk a good game but you are ALSO a baby, take a spa day and let me handle everything it’ll be ok the spirit controlling the Team Goober is benevolent and powerful
Me playing FFXIII: Sazh, you are the only one who understands me.
