"Zidane!"
"I was called that once. A lot of people called me that. But I am... just... an empty shell..."

One of my favorite sequences of Final Fantasy 9, which is called "you're not alone," inspired this piece. (Game spoilers, for anyone anal about that kind of stuff...) Garland tells Zidane that he was born to be an "Angel of Death," sent to bring the downfall of Gaia into war and death. When faced with the truth of why he was brought into the world, Zidane almost lost his way.

Except that... he wasn't alone. There were people around him who let him know that he would never be alone. It was one of his darkest moments in the game; an uncommon moment of dispair for someone who was normally a sweet and lighthearted person.

But we loves the monkey-tailed bandit, we do!! *tugs on Zidane's tail* :) That's why he'll always be my favorite character of all time.

Incidentally, I may never draw feathery wings... ever... again... XDDD

I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.

Feathered wings are always hard. Hence why I bookmarked *windfalcon's tutorial on them. I intend to draw phoenix related Abi-Hime pictures and I know those are going to be very hard to pull off.

Anyways you did a nice job with this and even have a well thought out background. The wings themselves are very nice as well and I see nothing wrong with them. But yes, they do take time to draw, especially feathered wings.

Abi-Hime, my love forever. Your wounds are my wounds, your pain is my pain.

Kaguya-Hime, I shall never forsake you again like I have before. I will always remember your name forever. We shall all stay close.

Beautiful work! I understand how you feel about feathery wings...:shakefist: I had a run of them a while back, and swore to not draw any for a while...!
