I really don't know anything about FF8 yet, and I'm not one to go searching for the whole plot line and ending on the net. Sort of defeats the purpose for me. I usually draw the game characters once I've played the game and get familiar with the characters. I'm just speculating here on them right now, I don't know why Square insists on such a young age for their characters in this game...17 year olds don't have that much life experience(normally) and aren't that mature. Oh well, guess it's a dream world. Come to the highschool I went to and boy oh boy, I think that Pre-Schoolers were more mature. But I guess we'll see when I get the game. I decided to draw Squall because I was really bored and couldn't think of anything else to draw. I do like to avoide the anime style of art and try to make it my own, so this is what I came up with. Sorry for my long life story, I'll go now ^_^.
