Hm, in this case I'd be aiming for something more like the one on the left than the one on the right. Yuna is by nature a very gentle person, so I want to use a color scheme that matches her. I've usde warm shades of brown for the hair to that end, as well. However, I will still put more shadow in for the finished version (if I ever manage to finish it). =P By the way, nice coloring skills. I like.

I did notice that you made her haircolour a warmer brown! It looks nice. I just suggested it cause I think it'd add more depth, but I guess soft colours do suit her. Thanks, and good luck finishing it!

Goddddd, I'm so jealous of you guys. I can sing and play music, I can kinda sorta mess around in photoshop, and I can sorta write. I cannot draw worth beans. D: *jealousjealous*

Ahh... how I wish I could still color on the computer like that. -_-;; But, sadly, my tablet has died and I can't use photoshop with a plain old mouse to save my life. It's back to colored pencils for me... the pic I have isn't actually colored, and I mostly blame laziness for that. I would have to ink, scan, clean up the lines, print, then color and, eh... I just wasn't feeling it. Anyway... ...it's going to be huge, I apologize... ...the background is crap. I finished at like 5AM and I wasn't looking for anything more than abstract shapes of the environment... but if you can ignore that, we should be fine, right? Is Zack shiny enough? XD I wanted him to look lifestream-ey and ghostlike. The pic comes from a scene in one of my fics, which I'm going to shamelessly adverstise here, because I'm a terrible person. XD It's called Where Others Fail, Prevail, and I swear I'm done now. Let me know what you think!

Aaaaw that is gooorgeous, I love all the sparkles round Zack! I won't pretend to know anything about drawing, but Cloud's hand looks a little strange... But it doesn't really matter because it is soooo pretty and I think the background is amazing and I would lovelovelove to see that coloured!

That's gorgeous, servantofsheval! ...That's too long. I'll call you Val. THAT'S GORGEOUS, VAL. Love Zack, that looks great... the only concrit I could possibly give you is to agree with leaf on the hand - personally, it looks like it should be moved over a leeettle to the left - and Cloud's body. His butt is a bit low. (Wow, that came out awkward.) I love his pants, especially, though - I'm horrible with cloth, and the creases look very natural. :3

I actually think Cloud's hand looks fine, the problem is that it should bend differently. I can't explain very well, but it's an awkward position for the hand to be in if he has his arm like that I think.
Lol, as to the butt comment, I think it actually looks okay like that XD because it looks particular to the style it's drawn in? Which gives a shoujo-ish kind of vibe in my opinion. I really LOVE the way his clothes fold, I've seen these sort of clothes wrinkles in some shoujo manga but it's difficult to imitate imo.
Anyway, cool job! It'd be sweet to see it coloured. Colouring shiny lifestream Zacks must be loads of fun <3

Actually I agree with the way the hand is despite its awkward look. The part that gets me is the way the bend itself is. Or elbow area or whatever you want to call it. That is really the only part that looks off in the piece.

Oh my god, their messy hair looks wonderful! I especially like Yuffie's. And Vincent's nose looks so lovely from a profile view! <3

I agree, the hair is great... and if that's really literally just a five minute sketch, that's fantastic work! Yuffie looks like she's creeping up on Vincent while he's sleeping... XD
Also... thanks for all the concrit, everyone (and the nickname, La Editor... which is also too long for my lazy fingers, but I don't know what to make of it ^-^;;; )! I kinda meant for the hand to be in an awkward pose... It's a weird thing of mine, doing that... the butt I'll admit I had trouble with. XD because of the kind of awkward Soldier armor-belt thing, I didn't know what to do with it. In all the official drawings its so high up on the waist... makes it look kind of awkward from behind. Also, I'm glad people liked the fabric folds. I hate doing them and actually thought the ones on this picture weren't all that great, but oh well. Maybe I will try to color this after all! But I won't make any promises, because who knows...

I kinda meant for the hand to be in an awkward pose... I could tell that, sometimes I like drawing them like that for no reason : p What we were referring to I think was to whether you can bend your pulse in that direction while still having your elbow pointing back - which you can, though it is unnatural and not exactly in the top 10 Most Comfortable Positions To Have Your Arm And Hand In. Yay, do colour it!

Lynn, that hair is amazing. The coloring and the outlining is stylistic and great! The only possible thing I have for you is that Yuffie seems bigger than Vincent in general. This is just how it looks to me - I think that the big thing on this is that Vincent's shoulder looks awkwardly close to his head, but it could just be the cape. Otherwise, its awesome

haha I agree, la. however, at eleven something at night when i drew it-- i didn't particularly care. I think they're drawn on different layers so i might go back and fix it.
glad everyone likes it-- there will likely be more on the way. sadly i have to work looong hours this week, so it may not be in the near future.
