Rydia Artist: Obsidian Zero Media: Paper, pencil, ink, scanner, then photoshop. Artist's Commentary They don't make heroes like they used to. Despite having about 256 pixels, and 16 colors to thier name, Rydia, and the rest of the Final fantasy 2 (4j) crowd had more depth to them than any of the FF8 teen-drama rejects. (I'll truncate my rant here, but judgement on FFX is pending..) When Rydia was lost to the party, she grew up in the land of summoned monsters.. that's a lot of story untold. Behind Rydia I've set a scape inspired by the tiles in the land of summoned monsters, and thew in some mist, (ie: Mysidia) in for good measure. And let's face it.. for a gal that's seen at about the size of your thumb, Rydia's kinda hot. The greater details on her graphic in the game supplied me with a basic framework, into which I set the finer details, like the specifics of the jewellery, and how the shine in her hair forms dragon-like patterns. (o, how Bahamut has fallen since those days..) Although I'm not generally one to do fan-art, I'm pretty happy with this one. It's let me put a solid image to the vuage idea of Rydia.   « Previous Back to gallery Next »
