That's very good tutorial Soph! Maybe you can submit it into the Tech Institute? I think I remember a function in my program that can do the same effect without having to switch over to MS Paint...I'll try it out sometime later.
Its not good enough for the tech insitute O_O its just a simple thing I made into a great big tutorial..eh...I mean....would many people really care how to do that stuff? I mean...I dunno, I never felt my art or skills are all that good, to be in the tech insitute and stuff.

Well, sometimes you need to be more confident of yourself Soph. From what I see, you can draw and colour better than many others. ^^

Oooh......thank you ^_^. I have never put anything in the tech institute before though...I dunno how to submit stuf...and....im shy to do it...

well....anyway.....

I have a newie pic to postie! Whee!

This new one has not been coloured yet. When I first tried my Final Fantasy/Pokemon combination with the Arcanine pic it worked out way better than I thought so I decided to take it a little further and try a new one. This time I picked Mew (well if Andy can be a FF character in his Pokemon form why cant I? XD) I chose to base her (I should call her Mewna XD) on Yuna from FFX-2. Yuna is my fave female FF character (not that I played many of the games XD) and I think her X-2 costume is really cool (and a little weird. XD.) The pose should be familiar; I used an X-2 picture as a guide (the clothes are freaking hard to draw right >_>) (I havent even got X-2 yet only X.) XD. Any way here is the pic (I will post a color version when I have done it.)



There we go, my new piccy! Its difficult to decide which features to change to humanoid and which features to keep Pokemon. The head is Pokemon of course (duh XD) I also kept her tail, in place of that long hair thingy or whatever it is Yuna has. The feet are those of mew (somewhat long XD) and I gave her different shoes (the boots just didn't look right XD.) other than that I think Mewna is kinda humanoid. Had to give her longer arms than Mew the Pokemon. I think the toughest bit about doing these pics is deciding how to make my characters both Pokemon and humanoid, without changing the original Pokemon too much. I have to change the features a fair bit.

When I colour it, if anyone is curious, well I plan to use the method in Guide no.1 that I posted for her skirt (well, half skirt XD) and her fur. Same method I used on Arcy/Andys fur and his Brotherhood.

Now finally, very important notice! This is for everyone reading this post that knows me and knows Andy. I know that Andy/Arcy was based on Tidus and Mewna on Yuna, but there is no connection whatsoever between my pics and the fact that their base characters are in love on the games. NOBODY is to assume that my drawing myself as an FF character based on Yuna and Andy as one based on Tidus means we are in love because we are NOT! Im not even alluding to that! We are Just. Very. Good. Friends! I dont care if those two are in love on X and X-2, there is no connection with that fact and the pics I have done! YOU ALL GET IT? I just have to specify that because I know there is an old Andy-and-Soph rumour floating around and I dont want anyone making assumptions like that over what I drew. Even my old Arcy and mew pics never meant Andy and I were in love. We are close friends and we do care about each other, but I should have specified before that it isnt love. Just good, strong and loyal friendship. I picked Tidus to base Andy/Arcy on because I like Tidus and he is my fave FF character, and I picked Yuna to base my FF self on because I like her character and I also like her clothes (well apart from a few aspects...I would never, ever wear an outfit like that IRL O_O XD). These are my special characters, and the only real similarity between them and the FF characters they is based on is the clothes. Realistically, to achieve a pic that balances between FF and Pokemon, the only way to identify it as a final fantasy character pic is to have the clothes or some other feature of a well-known FF character. So I would just like to stress here that there is no hidden message of love or something in these pics *rolls eyes* they are just done for the personal enjoyment of making Pokemon into FF characters, based on my friend (and maybe other friends too, soon!) and myself. (Well the original Arcy/Andy/FF pic was done as a gift for Andy but I had a great time drawing it.) Anyway, my point: Andy and Soph: not in love! End of story! Period! The rumour is not true! WROAAAH!

Ahem. Hope you all like the pic, anyway. XD.

Sorry for the double post...usually I have more replies than this in between pics O_O. Oh well, cant be helped. Anyway, I done finished the Mewna Pic ^_^ Version: Color!



^_^;; I tried a new technique...I...have never attempted shading before. Im not very experienced as an artist really, so it isnt all that hot...but I did try. (sometimes I look at the art from some of our resident artists and feel like mine are scribbles. lol.)

Anyway, I tried shading for the first time ^_^;;. Hope you all like it!

Feedback welcome as usual, as are questons on any techniques or whatever (not that I expect any, lol :P)

Hey Soph,

I'm very sorry I haven't posted here in a while but I don't get a chance to come on a lot, and I'm sorry...your artwork is AWESOME! Good job!
My heart's a graveyard, baby.
And to evil we make love
on our passion's killing floor.
In my arms you won't sleep safely.
And of lust we are re-born
on our passion's killing floor.

Hm...the dress flow is pretty realistic ^^ But Mew looks a little odd with 2 colour eyes, or is this the case with Yuna, I dunno.
You are really good at drawing Pokemon with clothes on XD

Thank you ^_^. You know I dont know if its so much an improvment as it is me just finding a style of art im really comfortable with. I wasnt sure how it would go, making pokemon humanoid and stuff, but its something I can do with more ease than the pics I used to do, though it takes longer. I love it. And yes that will be the next one I do probably, or one coming soon, those two fighting side by side...I already been planning that pic ;).

Yes, Yuna has two-cloured eyes. Thats why I drew it, though it took a while and she STILL looks slightly cross eyed >_> two color eyes are hard!!

Its odd really, never thought I would be drawing them with clothes on XD. Its fun though, but hard at times because I have to also change their bodies, like mew's arms made longer and stuff.
Thanks for everyone who gave feedback ^_^ *dances*

Notice!!!


This is something for all visitors/posters in my thread to read. I always
feel a need to inform the people who so kindly give me feedback on my art of
occurrences that will affect my pic posting.
I am currently in the final week of my school life. This week, I have
several exams and several major and very difficult assignments to complete.
All of them must be in by Friday this week or I don't graduate. If I don't
graduate, I must repeat grade 12, you get the picture, right? It's really
tough and very stressful.

Therefore, my work on pics and my posting of pics is officially on hold for
a week or two. This week I am completely overwhelmed with assignments and
have NO TIME WHATSOEVER for pics in any way, shape or form. Next week, I
have to come back for one more exam and also for Graduation, so that makes
it two weeks until I leave school totally but officially, this is my last
week. So this week there will be no pics. None. Nil. Sorry -_-. I have a
some partially-done pics on my computer and believe me; I HATE putting them
on hold, once I start a pic I always want to finish it ASAP, but my current
works have to stay unopened on the computer until I am through all my work.
On a lighter note, I have several more guides planned that I will be making
and posting one by one once school is done and over with. I will be creating
guides on how to do some more effects that I use, for instance making
realistic Flames in a picture. Also, if any of you are interested, I'll do
up a few guides on how I did some of my own personal work, IE the process I
used to create Mewna, the pics I used to guide me, etc, etc. But I will only
do those ones if people are actually interested in reading them, so if
anyone here would like to see guides/whatever they should be called on how I
created some of my own personal work, either PM me or post that yes, you
want to see them, and if I get one or more requests to see them I will
definitely do them. I just don't want to bore anyone, you know? And it would
feel like bragging if I did it without anyone wanting to see them. So speak
up if you want them made and posted!

Just remember, I wont be posting pics, guides, whatever for about a week or
two. Once that is up though, I'm on holiday (aside from job-searching) and
will have a lot more time to work on pictures and guides.
Finally, if anyone has any ideas for Final Fantasy/Pokemon crossover pics I
can do, please post them. I will hint on my current project; I'm doing my
version of Chocobo's: A Dodrio in FF armour (I will design it)! With one of
my FF/Pokemon characters riding it. That should be the next pic you expect,
as well as one of Mewna and Andy fighting side by side, though I warn you
that one is going to take me a very long time, its tough! Any ideas that any
of you have are more than welcome. I file ideas to work on later so I love
inspiration if you can give it. And, if there is anything any of you would
like to see, for instance the original pics I started doing from the art
thread that was once on the Old PC, or any particular guide you want me to
make, let me know, PM or post, okay? I will note it down and file it with my
ideas and stuff and do it when I can. Thanks to those of you who took the
time to read this and anyone who replies!

~Soph.

[Note: does anyone here think I should start taking requests for pics or
something?]

I think people would find a guide on realistic flames/special effects really useful, Soph! :) That's something people can use in a lot of different pictures. ^_^ If you love doing requests, I say go for it! The only thing you have to make sure of is that you have enough time on your hands to do them - I often run into that problem after a while. >_<
